February 2009

February was a good month for a birthday and to visit with family. Coy turned 5 on the 16. It seems like just yesterday he was a chubby little toddler, now he’s getting ready to start school in August. Due to Jon and I working on Coy’s birthday he got to celebrate before and after his birthday. We had out little family party on the 15, with cake, ice cream and presents. Then on the 27 we headed to Tucson to see Jon’s sister and have the rest of Coy’s birthday. He wanted to go to build a bear workshop and bowling. Build a bear workshop was a lot of fun. The boy’s started by picking out the stuffed animal they wanted, then they picked out the sound they wanted their animals to make, then they got stuffed, and clothes picked out. When we were all done a birth certificate was made. Coy picked a Lamb, named him Lambert, and dressed like a football player. Austin picked a Frog, named him Coffee, and dressed like a rock star. After build a bear was all done we headed to lunch, then bowling. This was the first time the boys have been bowling and they had a blast. Only problem was I forgot my camera. Coy had a very fun birthday and it’s always fun to get together with Kari and Mike.

We also headed down to Safford to see my family. We just went for the weekend; it was fun to see almost everyone. I missed one of my sister’s because she was out of town. When we visit family the time just flies. It doesn’t seem like we ever have enough time.
