Home Improvements

Well we had some company the last month if you don't know already. The Coddington's (Jon, Darlene, G-ma, & G-pa) were here and then my Dad, Brianna, and Tyler were here. Well while the Coddington's where here they were such a wonderful help to us! They brought down some things that I had purchased while I was home in January. My Goose!! I absolutely love my Goose she is to cute!

They also brought down this antique sewing machine that Jon and Darlene refinished for me! I'm so turning into my Mom!

One other thing that they did was put cabinets up in our laundry room!! I was so happy to get this done. We went out to Home (rep-off) Depot and Lowes looking for cabinets. We found some real nice ones at Lowes. Good quality and not to expensive! So the next day I went to work and came home to find my cabinets were already up!!! Jon and Grandpa worked all morning and afternoon on putting them up. I was so excited!! It makes such a difference and I can hide stuff now!

Thanks so much for all the home improvements, and we enjoyed the time we had with you!!

Concert of the Year!!

So on January 12th we went to the best concert in the world!! We went and saw Jake Owen! Now if you don't know who Jake is you better find out! He is one of the best country artist out there! We had such a good time the concert was at the Lyric Theater in Stuart. The coolest part about it was the theater is real small so there was only like 100 people there. We where so close and could see everything. So towards the end of the concert Calvin and the boys got pretty brave and went up front while he was singing and shook Jake Owen's hand!!!! After that everyone started rushing the stage and that was the best part, he started to sign autographes and so I handed up my ticket and he signed that and also my shirt! To cool We had a blast!!

Up North

Well I really need to keep up on this and start posting at least a couple times a week!!

Well if you didn't know Calvin and I had to go up north to Michigan for a weekend in January. His Great Grandmother Coddington had passed away on New Years Eve:(

Which was really hard for everyone and Calvin that is his Birthday. Well she was an amazing lady and had a very long life 101 years old. That is someting amazing!! Wish we all could have a long life like that!! Well we all miss her and think about her everyday.

So while we were home for the weekend we went and saw as much family that we could. We got alot in, in the short time that we were there! We were at Grandma and Grandpa Coddington's the whole day on Friday. After the funeral we went sleding with the kids Sean, Anna, and Owen. We also got Brook and Uncle Mike out there with us. We had such a good time I felt like a kid again.

Then on Saturday we were able to get the whole crew together for dinner at the Irish Pub on Lee road. Which I have to say was really good! We had most of the Coddington's, my mom and Aunt Leslie and the girls and that was nice to see everyone! Then we ended up at the Damn Site Inn with everyone. Back at the old hangout again, dancing with the moms and Uncle Mark. (Good Times).

New Year Eve & Calvin's 25th Birthday!

Well New Years Eve was lots of fun! Calvin turned 25 Wow he's getting old :) We had a party at Berto's house and the whole MarineMax crew was there, also a few other friends. We had the pleasure of having Meagan here with us for the New Year party! This year we were good, we ended going home at 1am and not staying out till wee hours in the morning! We had a great time and hope evryone one else had a Wonderful New Year :) So here are some pictures of New Years Eve!

"Charlies"

When Mom and Meg were here in Florida we took them to the Famous Charlies'! Darlene you know how much fun it can be there:) Well the band was awful, it wasn't one of the normal bands that they have and I was bummed that the Rock Doctors weren't playing that night. But we all know how to make the best of what you got and we sure did that! We had a blast and mom was the best driver there was! She took us to Walmart after Charlies so we could get stuff to make suasage and gravy the next morning. That was real good! So enjoy the trip to Charlies' :)

Christmas At The Coddington's

Well Santa came to our house on Christmas! We had such a good time with my mom and sister here for the holiday! Mom made fudge for us and all other goodies that I have been graving! We had a little get together on Christmas Eve, R.C. came over and we did our tradition with the appetizers for dinner. Lots of goodies... meatballs, crab meat yummies, taco salad dip, little weenies, and of course cookies and fudge! We also played some games after we ate, we played Taboo and another game that I can't think.

So on Christmas morning we took our good old time getting up and watched a Christmas movie and ate a little breakfast before opening presents which was nice. Calvin I think made out the best. He got a screen for the garage and a table saw, he also got Tommy clothes and other little things. I also did pretty good this year! One thing that I just loved that I got was my Nativity Scene from Darlene and Aunt Sherri. Boomer cleaned up with the bones, treats and toys, one Happy Dog!

We had a wonderful dinner we had Ham!! Mom was a nice help with dinner!

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas!!

Boomer's Birthday!!

Well Boomer had a birthday on Thursday Dec. 6th. He is now 4 years old. I cant believe that he is already 4, I remember when he was just a cute little pup!!

So we had a little Birthday night for him like we always do. He got some treats and a toy. He knew where his presents were hiding in the closet, cause he would go to the closet and start whining. That got a little annoying, and now he's doing it with the Christmas gifts. What a baby.

So like the mom that I am I took some pictures of him with his presents and with his new toy. I can't believe how good he does taking pictures. I guess he is just use to it by now (Calvin thinks I'm crazy).

How cute is he! He liked his toy, Clavin and him already ripped it up, I came home tonight and there is stuffing all over the house!!

Well we are going to Islands of Adventure with Calvins work tomorrow! That will be lots of fun, we always look forward to that FREE trip to the parks. Well got to go and sleep.

Jess:)
