He-Man (I HAVE THE POWER)

Caleb found this sword at the dollar store. He loved it and played He-Man all afternoon last week. Tyler got his light saber and he started playing Star Wars. I don't think they realized they were playing different games.

Happy Family

I wasn't going to do any canning this year because I have been up to my neck in kids (see picture below). But I just couldn't let Jack Frost ruin all my hard work. So Ben picked all the tomatoes and we bottled salsa. We still had some tomatoes left so I gave them to the neighbors. I think that's all I can do this year, but it will be enough.

Grandma and Grandpa were up for the BYU game and conference. "It's always fun when grandpa comes, when grandpa comes HOORAY! He always says the kindest things and in the kindest way."

Here I am, up to my neck in kids. Motherhood can be a challenge, but how could you not love these cuties!?

Cornbellys 2011

We went to Cornbelly's again this year. We had a great time and ended up staying until after dark. We didn't get to the corn maze this year because there was just too much to do.

And here is Coleman smiling! I can't believe he is smiling already. He is so cute! Last night he slept from 10:30 until 4:30. Hopefully I am getting close to not being such a "zombie" all the time.

Soccer

Kaelynn played soccer again this fall and had a really good time. She even made a few goals!

Coleman 2 weeks

Coleman will be 2 weeks tomorrow (Tuesday). So far we are doing great. Tyler starts Kindergarten tomorrow and Ben goes back to work.

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.

Kaelynn, Tyler, Caleb and Coleman

Big Boy

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.

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!
