Baby Coleman

Coleman Excell Cox was born on Aug 16th he weighed 8lbs 6oz and is 21 inches long. So far he has been a wonderful baby. Kaelynn, Tyler and Caleb have been at my parents house for 4 days so they have only seem him once. They come home tonight and I'm sure they will be happy to be home and see their brother. Today we had to put Coleman on a "Bilibed" He has high levels of bilirubin (jaundice) so we are hoping the lights work so he will only be on it for a day or two. Other then that everyone is doing well and we are happy to have Coleman in our family.

Big Boy

Welcome to the world

All clean

My, What big eyes you have

Bilibed Baby

Family Night

We went up AF canyon. We thought it would be fun to do something big before the baby comes. The water was ice cold so we didn't put much more then our feet in. We cooked hot dogs and marshmellows over the fire.

I am now 39 weeks! We are ready and excited for our baby to come.

Happy Anniversary 11 years!

This is Ben and me 11 years ago. Don't we look exactly the same? :) Our actual anniversary was July 22nd. We went to lunch and then to Harry Potter 7.2 I loved it, Ben said it was worth watching once.

I love you, Ben!

Garden

I love our little garden. So far things are looking good as long as we can keep up with the squash bugs (I hate those things).

Thanksgiving Point Farm

Our pass expired and we decided not to renew it so we took the kids one last time to the farm.

Father's Day

I am a day late and a dollar short. But I just wanted to let Ben know I think he's a great dad. He had a good Father's Day. He got a nap and spent time playing his new motorcycle game.

I Love you, Ben. Thanks for 3 (almost 4) beautiful children.

Caleb loves potato head and when he makes this one he calls it "dad"

Here is a real picture of Ben with the kids.

I also wanted to let my own dad know how great he is. Love you, dad! Hope your Father's Day steak dinner was awesome! (Since the grill works now it should've been good)

Last Day of School

Here is Kaelynn on her first day of 1st grade.

Here is Kaelynn on her last day of 1st grade

Yay!! Summer is here. We love summer. I love the hot days, playing outside, eating otter pops, going to grandma's house, swimming, gardening, staying up late and sleeping in. We love it all!

Down by the River

I mentioned before we take the kids to a dirt field just East of our house to ride the 4-wheeler and bikes. This time there was water in the river bed. The weather said this was the wettest May ever recored. So is this what our 100 year flood looks like? The boys loved throwing rocks in the river (Kaelynn would've liked it too, but she was at school). Ben said the water runs off the Oquirrh Mountains.

Ben wanted to ride his motorcycle across the water, but he said he wasn't in the mood to get wet. Maybe next time!

Angel or Demon??

Here is Caleb. He is so happy and fun. He loves to play with his toys. Hot Wheels are his favorite. He also likes Potato Heads and light sabers. He likes to run and play outside. He favorite TV shows are Little Einsteins, Curious George, and Backyardigans. He thinks Kaelynn and Tyler and so funny and laughs whenever they laugh. We just love Caleb.
This is also Caleb. He drives everyone crazy when he gets up at in the middle of night and decides it's party time. He also decided taking naps isn't that fun anymore. But you know what is fun. Finding a permanent marker and drawing on the couch. Climbing on the table in the middle of dinner is also great for a laugh. Caleb really likes to eat animal crackers and pretzels, but when he's done he throws them on the floors and steps on them because I guess I don't have enough things to clean. But my personal favorite thing he does is take off everything he has on in less the 2 seconds. Yup, clear down to his birthday suit.

So, is he an Angel or Demon? I would say a little bit of both :)

The Farm

Yesterday seemed this first nice day we've had in a long time. This Spring has been really cold and wet. I decided to take the kids to Thanksgiving Point Farm to see the baby animals. It was fun for the kids to run around and see the animals. After the farm we went to dinner at Costco (the kids love it there!). It was a great family night activity for them.

On a side note Ben and I have been sick for the past few days with a cold. It's unusual for both of us to get sick at the same time. Usually if one of us gets sick the other one can take care of things. But since we are both under the weather we just take turns taking naps. (Don't even ask what the house looks like!)

Tyler riding a horse

Caleb on a little horse. He named it Hot Chocolate.
Kaelynn was trying to be daring and would randomly kick her feet out or let go of the saddle.
Every time we come her the kids like to put themselves in jail, maybe I should build a jail house for them.
Kaelynn thought it was so cool to see an egg.
Tyler helped feed this baby cow.
Kaelynn's favorite was the baby horse. She loves horses.
