When Cody got home from school, we wrote our little notes to mom and then tied them to the 3 green balloons I had purchased earlier. We went out to an open grassy area by our apt to let them sail up into the heavens. I love this little tradition and after having such a bad day, it made me feel good inside to write a love note to my mom and then send it off to her on her birthday.
We watched them float up and up and then...what?! They got stuck in the tops of the trees...I almost started to cry. I just stood there and stared at them in sadness...I didn't know what to do. We just walked away knowing that somehow she knows we miss her and love her and that we are bound together by eternal bonds that will make it possible for us to see her again someday. Someday.
On to other adventures... surfing!
Eliza's first time at the beach. She thoroughly enjoyed it!
Cody went surfing with a friend in our ward. He got up a few times and had a great time! Thanks Moyles!

What a sweet tradition. I love things like that. Sorry they got stuck... that's so real life, the best laid plans sometimes flop. Sorry you had a bad day. Some days Matt gets home and I just need a break. Most of the time it's great though. I need more Eliza pictures please. She is looking much older!
I love that tradition!!
Oh I meant to say that Cody looks like a real Californian with the wet suit and surf board. Maybe he should consider making his hair bleach blonde!
Sorry it was a very bad day, Emilee. Have Cody give Eliza a bottle so you can get some uninterrupted sleep. Take care,
That's a great tradition. I'm sorry that they got stuck, she's probably just closer that you thought. Eliza's getting so big. And when bad days come, don't forget to take a second for yourself, like a shower. Eliza can sleep or scream for 5 minutes and be just fine as long as her mom is happy. If things are still rough, just look at what a beautiful miracle you have!
Is my little brother turning into a surfing stud? Where did you get that wet suit?
