Red or Blue?

No I do not want to know if you are a Utah fan or a Utah Sate/BYU fan. I am trying to decide on a color for my walls in my salon. Bevin and I have narrowed it down to, or agreed upon a blue or red. I really wanted a bright magenta but that was quickly vetoed by Bevin. So I need some input. Any thoughts or ideas.....let me know asap.

I'm BACK!

Wow, I can't believe it has been since October! Lots of things happened that kept me from blogging. Mostly house projects, and a broken computer. But now my MAC is almost fixed, and we got a new laptop for Christmas. Yeah! So I am going to be better at posting cause I know you all can't live without knowing what is happening in the exciting life of the Cox's. (Also because my bro on a mission can check it to see pics of Carter, and my sis and her hubby are going to D.C. for 4 months.) I am happy to be back and can't wait to read all the comments you are all going to leave me! Thanks!

15 Months

All Carter cared about was holding a ball.  So of course there is one in every picture.  But at least he isn't screaming!  

Friends

Yesterday was just on of those days that sucked.  Carter was up until 3 am with a fever, then Aunt Flow came to visit which means cramping and headaches, the house was a disaster, and things were not so peachy between they hubby and I.  So I had just given up on the day and getting anything done.  I just wanted to sit on the couch and veg.  But that is not how my day ended thanks to visits from my best friends, a diet coke, a phone call, kidnapping Carter for the night, some Coldstone, and just a little time to chill.  I don't know what I would do without my friends.  (I am sorry if you want to gag right now.) Thanks so much, any girl would be lucky to have friends like you.  Love you!

House Pictures-Before and After

No more border and Bevin painted the cupboards

Paint, new light, and new mirror

No more ugly pillars or white walls

Just new paint

Crazy Kid

Carter loves to sit on things.  Everytime I open the fridge he comes over and sits down in it.  He doesn't care that it's cold.  He is a crazy kid!

Bevin's Work Party

A few weekends ago we went to Bevin's work party.  It was a bit chilly but we had a good time and enjoyed spending time with our good friends!  We had dinner, went on a wagon ride, got our picture taken in western clothes, and the kids played in the bouncy house and decorated hats.  It was fun to meet all the people that Bevin works with.

These are a few of the before pictures from our house.  We have been working nonstop since the middle of August to get things ready.  We are finally moved in and getting settled.  Still so many projects to do.  We are so grateful to have such awesome family and friends that have been helping us demo, clean, paint, move, entertain Carter, and any other thing we've needed.  Thanks!

Home Sweet Home!

Yea! We have a house! We offically closed on Thursday, and took possession this morning. We went to the house to check it out and then before I knew it Bevin and his dad had ripped all of the carpet out. So we are off to a good start. I will be there early tomorrow morning to start cleaning, preping and painting. There is so much we want to do. We hope to be in by Labor Day, and are so excited to finally have our own place to call home! (pictures to come later)

Memory Game

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Olympics!

Since I haven't done a post recently I thought I could do a quick one about the Olympics! I am OBSESSED! I have been watching ever since the Opening Ceremonies! I told Bevin that I probably won't have a very productive week cause I love watching the events. My favorite is swimming, and Michael Phelps!(Who, bytheway, just won his second gold, yea!) I get so nervous for them because it is always so close. But, I love watching all the events and hope the US continues to have great success!

Having a Ball

Carter's first word was ball and he loves them.  He even thinks a watermelon is a ball.  He loves throwing the ball to the dogs, to mom and dad, in the pool, and loves hitting them with his golf clubs.(pics of those to come later) 

I love this pose of him looking over his shoulder, watch out Hollywood.

Mouth pursed ready to say "Ball"

Take a Hike!

Just a quick hike that we did up Dry Canyon.  It was Carter's first time in his new backback carrier and he loved it.  I don't know if Bevin did, but it was a great day and a fun little family outing. (Even Cooper got to come)

I Tried!

So I was feeling bad that I haven't posted for almost 2 months.  I have just been so obsessed with finding a house.  But since that isn't going to well I thought I would post something.  So I downloaded all my pictures and only got 2 up and then it said there was an error and it wouldn't work.  So now I am frustrated and will just have to try again another day.  But just so you know, we are alive and things are good.  

Just Random

Instead of playing with all of his toys, Carter enjoys looking at his books.  He loves to look at them and will bring them to us and sit on our lap so we can read to him.  I hope he continues to enjoy books and reading and he grows up.

Then just a cute picture of him in his Jazz jersey.  We did not miss a single Jazz playoff game and were excited for the Jazz to do as well as they did.  Maybe the finals next year.

Baby Animal Days

Even though Carter is still young we thought it would be fun to take him to see all the baby animals since he loves dogs so much.  It was fun to see all the animals and see that Carter wasn't afraid to pet them.

This is a bunny that is about as big as Carter!

Carter wasn't old enough to do the pony rides but he loved petting them and tried to pull their manes.
