Homecoming of Elder Cox

Supporting a MoHawk for his Uncle.
Last one off the plane. He made us wait forever!
First hug in 2 years
Happy to be home!!

Holding his nephews for the first time
All of us together again. Happy as ever!! It was so good to see him again. He is still the same, but has changed for the better.

All that finger cramping for nothing!!

J/K! But I am sad that David Archeletta didn't win! He is still my winner & favorite, and I am going to buy his album for sure.

My Vote!!

I voted for David Archeletta probably 100 times lastnight. I know that he is going to win tonight. He was amazing lastnight!! I will be very mad if he doesn't. :)

Here is my sister calling on both phones lastnight.

One more Day!! YEAH!!!

LEFT HOME A BOY!

COMING HOME A MAN!

And finally... Tomorrow my little big brother is coming home from his mission in Brazil. I am so excited to see him. We have missed him dearly!! He gets to come home to 3 nephews! We can't wait for him to meet them. We had some great memories before he left and are excited to have plenty more when he returns. Tomorrow I will post some more of when he returned home!!

Pace's First Real Smile!

Oh man does it make me happy to see Pace happy, and know that this smile isn't a gas one. He has his daddy's dimples and they are so cute when he smiles. I can't wait to see more of this smiling face of his.

You should see the other guy!

DJ was playing basketball and had a head on collision with a cinderblock wall. He was chasing after a loose ball and right as he caught it he ran smack dab into the wall. The other guys said it looked the same as if you were bouncing a ball off the wall, except it was his face. Doesn't he look good?

Best Buds!

Bridget and I took these pictures tonight. Our plan was to get alot of pictures of all of them together. We were lucky to get one picture with all three boys. Pace would've got trampled on if we left him there. Other than that we got alot of cute ones of Trey & JT . They are so loving towards each other it is so cute to watch them.

Trying to Keeping Up

This picture is of him climbing on the swing and then on to the couch. Right when i took the picture he almost fell back before I caught him.
Trey likes to get into this swing, but the funny thing is that he can't get out. I tell him that if he can climb in it he can get out. lol So he stays in it quite often. Him cheesing it in his cool outfit! lol It was a long day!

And last but not least these pictures are of him falling asleep while he was crying at his bedroom door. He was throwing a fit so I put him in his room. He was crying for maybe a few minutes at his door until I noticed that he wasn't crying. I thought that maybe he decided to play, well after a while I thought that maybe I should check on him. I opened the door really quitely then hit something, it was him laying there. It was so funny! Then I put him in his crib and that was a mistake, he woke up and cried for another 5 minutes after that till he finally fell back asleep. I felt really bad because he sleeped for 3 hours, so he was in his room for most of the morning.

Pace is one month old!

I can't believe that he is one month already. It has gone by so fast! He already is turning into his own individual self. He weighs 7 lbs. 8 oz. 20 1/2 inches long. He is growing way to fast! So far we think that he looks more like his Daddy which DJ loves, but still has some of his mommy's traits! He is such a good baby, and hopefully will stay like that. He is a little gassy but not colicky like Trey was. We got lucky there. He is opening his eyes more and being more awake. Still sleeps tons though. He is so fun to have around!

New Pictures of our Family

We decided to take some pictures on friday of us. It was really windy and Pace was really good for the first couple of pictures, until it really started to blow and then he was mad. The last picture is one of those. That is when we went inside and took the best picture of us on the stairs. Pace even has his eyes open so we were happy!
