Happy Second Birthday Evie

Cody has the most adorable niece on this entire earth. She is the sweetest, most talkative, spunkiest little girl I've ever met. Evie is the cutest thing ever. Enough said. 

So she turned two on Friday and I had something in mind to give her. I started a project a couple weeks before because I wanted it to be perfect! 

I decided to make my first doll for Evie. I've been sewing quilts and pillow cases for Code but I've never done a doll before. 

My grandma is an incredible seamstress and had the cutest pattern for a doll to take to church. I made the a little bag to hold the doll and all of the clothes I made for her. It turned out so cute. 

I think she really liked it. She wanted to go to church right then and there. 

Here is the bag that the little doll and all of her clothes go in


And then the doll


And another outfit 


And there's tons if other things but this is all I got pictures of so there ya go

Pictures from Cody

I have been waiting SO long to get these pictures. I was starting to forget what Cody looks like (jk that's impossible). But here is pictures from the MTC and Mexico...

Cody in the MTC with one of our friends from school. 

MTC

Cody and his companion in the MTC. He said Cody talks too much... Hahahaha thats Code for ya! He's so easy to talk to and I love it. 

Code and a teacher in the MTC. 

The classic MTC picture. I've got to say how much I love his suit. He looks dang good don't you think?;)

His view on his walk home.  I would kill to see this everyday. 

Cody, his companion, and a little boy from Ebano. Notice the streets and the house. He's in a very poor part of Mexico. He trudges through the mud and rain all day everyday. 

Elder Manzano drew this for Cody. It actually looks a lot like him haha well mostly because of the muscles ;)

With Elder Manzano on the first day in Mexico. He is the Zone Leader and is taking good care of Cody!


I'm so proud of him and can't stop looking at these pics!
