Cody Day

Cody waited eagerly for his special day with Grammy and Papa. When his day finally arrived, Cody Day started out very rainy. We were worried that he wouldn't get to fit in any outdoor activities, but thankfully the rain cleared out by the afternoon. Grammy and Papa were real troopers and took Cody canoeing and to the sand pit in the afternoon--which is quite the sacrifice in this Texas heat! Here is what Cody said about his day:

When I got to Grammy and Papa's, I tucked in all of my stuffies (Lovey Kai, Goo-Goow, Povey, and all my birds) into my tortilla blanket.

Then I made my pipe cleaner piggy. I really thought it was cool.

Here is my finished piggy.

Then I made my alligator. I really think it was also cool.

Piggy and Alligator are sitting together.

Next I read Papa my Cookie books that I had written on my ipad.

Then I did 20 Questions with Papa. I really like that sometimes the game loses.

Here, I made my Cody Snack 2020. It was super delicious. I wrote all of the ingredients on the bag.

I put all of the ingredients into the Cody Snack 2020.

I watched Ralph Breaks the Internet. It was a SUPER good movie.

Then, I went on a wagon ride with Papa. I'm still not too old for that!

Later, I did Wordscapes on Grammy's phone.

After lunch, I went on a canoe ride. I even helped carry it out with Grammy and Papa's help.

I was always paddling on the right side, never on the left. I liked canoeing so much.

Then I went swimming in the pool with Papa.

I squirted Papa with water.

Then after we went to the pool, we went to Gleannloch Farms where horses were. On the bench was a kitty. Grammy and Papa let me touch it. It was a super cute kitty even though it clawed at me.

Then I pet a horse. I don't remember the horse's name though.

After that I dug a humongous hole at the sand pit. Even a shovel could fit in it.

Grammy and Papa built a sand castle while I was digging my hole.

At their house, I played Healeix with Grammy. That's a game that I made. It was super fun.

Cody Day was super awesome because I get to do whatever I want. Grammy and Papa are super kind.

Our kids are so thankful for these precious memories and will always treasure their time with you. Thanks again, Grammy and Papa, for loving and spending time with our kiddos!

Jaden Day

Jaden treasured his time with Grammy and Papa on his special day this summer too. Here are his comments about Jaden Day.

First, I went to the sand pit, and I decided to climb the fence.

I am building a castle with the most perfect sand ever. It had just rained the night before, which made the sand great.

I didn't know what I was going to do with my castle at first, but then I found a car, and I decided to have it be the car's castle.

I accidentally knocked part of the castle down, but that's the fun part because I got to rebuild it.

Then I decided to have a sand castle contest with Grammy and Papa. They were on a team. I made another little castle for my car.

When I wanted to wash the sand off my feet, I found a really big puddle by the slide in the park.

Then I found an even bigger puddle that was even deeper.

Then after I was done with the sand castle, I decided to have my snack. My three favorite things that I put in my snack were gummy bears, chocolate chips, and marshmallows.

Then, I helped Papa get out the canoe.

This is Papa and me paddling the canoe. It was very fun.

After that, since I had my swim suit on, I decided to go to the pool. I like going down the slide and swimming in the big pool.

Then, when I was tired, we went back home for lunch.

I did Wordscapes on Grammy's phone for a little bit.

After lunch, I watched a TON of America's Got Talent.

We took a break from America's Got Talent, and we started making brownies.

Grammy let me lick the spatulas. It was yummy.

Then I watched a little more America's Got Talent, and then we did some sand art.

This is me when I finished my sand art.

I really liked spending time with Grammy and Papa. It makes me feel good when I'm around them.

Thanks for another amazing Jaden Day, Grammy and Papa. Jaden loved it!
