9/14/2013

Yesterday was a Friday. Cody finally had 2 days off... He's been working his tail off. Thursday was fun, we got some happy fun news, and Friday he wanted to go jet skiing. So we rented some wave runners and snagged Rowdy out of school early and went to lake Lewisville. Letti and Dee watched Elliot  so we just had the boys. It was so awesome! It was fun to let the boys drive although I would in voluntarily scream everytime they would go full throttle. We ate lunch and some teeny fish started eating our crumbs then bigger blue gills. We spent a while trying to catch them with our hands. We are pretty sure that water logged our blue jetski....sitting on the back. but we got that taken care of, the guy helping us beached it and crashed his chest into the steering  wheel hard... but was ok... then we  and continued to frolick. We got to go all over the lake. Ezra was so happy that Cody was home. and he got to ride the blue jetski. It was so amazing to be clear out in the middle, with the wind in our hair. It was a happy day. The water and the weather were perfect. It had the crazy mirror effect at times.

(taken later but so you can see the bangs :) . Elliot was mad I was taking her picture. Aunt Letti had been practicing smurf makeup for Halloween)

Elliot got a hair cut from Paisley while we were gone. Its cute! :) She just has some layer bangs. I guess the both of them were also experimenting on some Barbie hair. :) but we were so grateful  that the Byrds watched her while we were on the lake. It would've been stressful to feel like everyone was safe and not going to fall off.



Rowdy had his first baseball game today he did well. He hit a single off the coach's first pitch. Then later a single off the tee. When it was time to come home he was sure to slide in... even though the ball was nowhere near him :) he was a happy guy.
Cody got called into Oklahoma city last night. h'es pretty sure he has strep throat  :( Ezra had it last week and was barfing the week before that. hopefully thats the end of it.


 The kids are growing up so fast and I am way behind on journal/blogging for them. but no better time to start than the present.

Seminary is going pretty good. I still feel like I have a lot to improve on as a teacher but the group of kids are great. I feel like we are all in a good mood after seminary everyday. It feels like prayers are being answered!
