Yesterday was Cord's birthday, he turned 37 and lucky him -- he got to spend it in a minivan (for nine hours) listening to the joyful harmony of our children.So today we celebrated. We made one of his favorite dishes (pasta with grilled chicken and lots of vegies -- many from our garden and a Cesar dressing) for dinner and that perennial favorite Texas sheet cake. We are also going to head over to Cold Stone tomorrow -- the kids know how much he loves ice cream and want to take him there for their gift.
Here are a few of the many things we love about Cordy:
- Cord loves his kids more than anything
- He thinks he can dance
- He loves baseball
- He loves Heidi almost as much as the kids :)
- Cord is a great cook
- Cord likes to watch sports with the sound off so he doesn't have to hear the "idiot announcers"
- He is a very hard worker and a bit of a perfectionist
- Cord can make me laugh like no one else
- He cuts his own hair
- He puts the kids to bed every night
- Even though he thinks he can -- he can't do an impression of Shaggy
- Cord has a strong testimony and leads his family with love.
- He does the grocery shopping
- Because he does the shopping we have at least 4-5 kinds of ice cream in our frig at all times
- He is not a fan of Bronco Mendenhall but still likes BYU football
- Cord plays fantasy baseball, football & basketball
- He loves Mexican and Korean food
- Cord gives service and tells me I'm beautiful everyday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORD/DAD!

Happy Birthday Cord! Save some of that sheet cake for me, it looks so good. It's big enough! So glad you guys are home. I missed you.
The Udall family is going crazy with these mosaic things!
Oh and happy birthday. :P
happy bday cord. thanks for driving the distance. perhaps one day you could become a non-idiot announcer for the sport venues. love you cousin!!!
Happy Birthday Cord! Sounds like a good bday for a great guy!
P.S. You are all so tan!!! How do I get some of those tanning genes??!! :)
Happy Birthday cord! It is so great to hear all the stories about cord...I always knew he would turn in to a great guy! He was great back in the day too! I am al so impressed how great he has aged! He looks as cute as he was in high school! Unlike the rest of us! Thanks for sharing Heidi...you are a lucky lady! Your family is so adorable! I am shocked we are close to pushing the 40 envelope...Oh Noo!!!
YUM! I need that pasta recipe if you give it out? July is a busy month for your family. I must add that Cord is an EXCELLENT Deacon Leader or whatever his title is.
PS I love Lily's smile on her face when her daddy is kissing her. So sweet.
I loved the "cuts his own hair" comment. Ryan attempts that one as well. Usually it involves the clippers and hiding from me in the bathroom. I think it works out much better for Cord.. .Maybe he just has more hair to start with!
This is a great post about Cord! I love the photos and the kids are all so cute. I am always jealous how he helps you with dishes, grocery shopping, AND puts kids to bed. Man my husband is in trouble! Ha ha. Hope you all had a fun time together. The pasta looks so yummy. You are so Martha with your garden veggies and all.
