It was 16 years ago this morning at about 5:30am that my water broke and we were headed to the hospital so excited, our first born was on "his" way. At the time, we didn't know that "he" was a "he". As we arrived at the hospital on the morning of December 6th with the entire family not far behind, we were not aware of the fact that although my water broke I still had a long way to go. In fact, a whole day! I believe Dad had the December 6th newspaper in hand thinking that was the paper to keep! Needless to say we needed the December 7th newspaper! Wow, 16 years tomorrow! It is so hard to believe! Tomorrow December 7, 2009 at 9:47am, Cody will be 16 years old, a sophomore in high school, driving and not really thinking that his parents know much at all! He is just realizing himself that he only has a few years left of high school and then off to college. As he has grown up, it has been many laughs, some tears and yelling and I'm sure more of all to come!
Yesterday we were able to celebrate his birthday with plans of going out tomorrow after Shelby's basketball game also. Dave took Cody and 4 teenage boys to Fast Lanes, a go-cart track in Meridian to race. I think Dave just wanted to go to beat them all! Then they came home for food and it was actually pretty mellow. We ended up with only 1 of them over night! Mostly because Cody was in charge of invites, etc.. since I wasn't sure who he was inviting. I am pretty sure that he will still need us for a few more years and not just for gas money!
