New Year's Eve

We had a fun night with our friends. Chris, Leah and Kate were here from Nebraska and it was nice to see them. Thanks for coming to see us! We ate tons of food, played lots of ping pong, learned a new game called wackee 6, and stayed up untill almost 3am. It was one of the funnest New Year's Eve we've had in a while.

We had a ping pong tournament and Bevin was the champ

Merry Christmas

Bevin totally spoiled me this year and got me the 3 big things I wanted. Thanks love!

A tv w/dvd player that goes under the cabinet in the kitchen.

A pink ipod nano, my first ipod, I am so behind.

And my favorite, a bracelet from OC Tanner that has a charm with Carter's name and B-day.

Bevin kept sayinghe only wanted socks and g's but that is no fun. So I got him some running shoes, apple tv, a coat, and clothes. We also bought ourselves a new laptop!

Aunt Emily and Uncle Russ

Carter got a big red wagon from Grandpa and Grandma Myers and he loved it. He did not want to get out of it all morning.

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.
