About the Cox Family

This blog is about our family. Brandon and I married on June 3, 2000 after dating about a year and a half. We went to high school together but never really talked with each other even though we lived on the same road. We now have Connor,8 and Karlea,4. We also have two dogs, Belle and Patch. We also have two goldfish, Freddie and Dory. Hope you enjoy!

Rain Rain Go Away








Ok, I love the rain, but not this much. It makes you feel down. I hope that it slacks up some before tomorrow. We plan to go to the lake. I know we'll be getting wet anyway if we get in the water, but rain is different, it's cold.
At church this morning we did things a little different. It was awesome. Brother Adam spoke about Memorial Day, but not in the way you think. Today we honored Jesus by giving his life for ours. I never really thought about it that way. Good service.
This past week Karlea turned 3. She is quite the princess and ball player. She is going to be like me. I love to dress up but I like getting dirty too. She got a pink dress up set from her Ganny and PawPaw Wilson. Connor gave her a t-ball set.
Connor got his diploma from Kindergarten this past Thursday. I couldn't be there but mom got some pics for me. He is not real happy about going into the first grade. He wants Mr.Key to be his teacher next year.
I have a few more days to work and then I'll be finished for Summer Vacation. Yippy!!! I plan to spend a lot of time with my kids and do some home improvements. (I'll try anyway)

Karlea's sayings

Something funny Karlea said the other night: First off, our pastor's name is Adam. So the other night she was "reading" her Bible to me. It was the story about Adam and Eve. And she said, and there's Brother Adam naked as a jaybird. I explained to her that Adam was different that Brother Adam. It was funny anyway. Kids say the funniest things. I've tried to remember some of the things that my two have said. I told myself to write them down but I didn't. She also says "oh man" when she's frustrated. I need to get back to getting the fam ready for bed.

It's been a while.


Well as you can tell it's been right at 2 years since I blogged. There seems to be no time for it. I am going to try to get one post in a week. We'll see how that turns out. Anyway, my Karlea will be 3 on Tuesday. I can't believe how fast the time has went by. It seems like every time I turn around something is going on with her. I think she is my accident-prone child. She ran into the door at church this past Sunday, Mother's Day. She had a huge knot which is now turning the yellow-purple color. I'm so glad no one called DHR. She looked awful. Connor is finishing up kindergarten. I can't believe this school year is almost over. Even more unbelievable than that is that he didn't get sent to the Principal's office not one time this year. His is sad about going to 1st grade. He loves his teacher, Mr.Key. He only wants to go to the 1st grade if he can be his teacher. Kind of sweet I guess. Connor lost his first tooth on Wednesday. I cried. I cried when it began to loosen up. I don't know why. I didn't even shed a tear when he started school. Losing teeth to me is growing up. Well this should get me started back up. Hopefully soon I'll be posting something new.
