Make a bubble...

Too cute for words!!!

Happy 4th Birthday Grandon!!!

I threw Grandon his birthday party early, because we have a wedding to attend the Sat. after his actual birthday.

The theme this year was all things baseball, we had a good all American baseball party! Great friends, great food, and great memories!!! I think the only thing I lacked from this "Take me out to the ball game" was peanuts, but had the cracker jacks!!!

Since it was all Take me out to the Ball Game theme, I served hot dogs, nachos, with all the fixings to go with it. After the food was being served the back yard really smelled like we were at a ball game, we plan on taking the kids to a MLB game this summer!!!

I still can't believe that Grandon is 4 years old boy how time flies!!! I still remember giving birth to him and all the surgeries that little guy had to go through in his first year of life!!!

Enjoy all the pictures....

Shirts that I had made, Madison calls Grandon...Gan Gen so that's our team name

The back of mine and Clayton's shirt...They say it all....

I thought this was too cute, Grandon with his friend from school Hope.

Only the cutest sign that my really good friend Sharon helped me make...Thanks Sharon!!!

Popcorn Station

The Candy station sign

Here is part of the candy station and the lollipop tree, I loved how it came out

Grandon's baseball that I had the guest sign

I'm in love with the way the cupcakes, the cupcake tower, and the four came out! Clayton made the tower he did such a good job, his degree comes in handy from time to time, he also figured out how to get the four on the top, I made the cupcakes, and Sharon make the #4 sign!!!

T-Ball Practice

One of the main things that Grandon has been begging to do for the last year is play t-ball, but the only problem has been trying to find a league that would allow 4 year olds to play.

The day has finally come that I found that league and Grandon just had his very first practice and he LOVED it.

I was so proud of him he did so good. He listened to his coach, did everything they asked him to, and didn't chase his shadow like Peter Pan!

We got a few pictures and a few videos check them out below:


Look at that hit!!!Getting ready to hit the ballThrowing to his coach

Here Grandon is running from 1st base to 2nd base all I could do was laugh!!!

Poor guy didn't know what to do!!!

Princess...

Welcome back blog world, I have taken a much needed break from just about all my online avenues. But I'm back and have much to catch up on!!!

On the 17th Grandon will officially be 4 years old! My brother got him the cutest early birthday present.

He provided us with the newest member of the Cox family, her name is princess, she is two years old, mostly white with a tiger tail, and the best cat we could ever ask for.

If you can't tell one of her favorite places to hang out is in the sink!!!

Let's Rodeo San Antonio!!!

Every year for the past 5 years, we've started a family tradition that on Valentine's weekend we go to the rodeo. We always go on Military/Dollar days Friday. Clayton either takes the whole or half the day off and we go as a family! 9 out of 10 times it happens to be the same weekend as President's day, so we get a nice 3 and half day weekend home with him.

Since it's our anniversary weekend as well we just combine the two days and plan lots of fun things to do with the kids. This year was extra nice, we just did things together the four of us, and enjoyed each other.

Clayton got me a rotary cutter and matte for V-day and our anniversary. The kids got me some hanging hooks and a converse air-freshener shoe.

I got Clayton a CTR ring, Monty Python and the Hold Grail, a gift card to Dinky's BBQ House, 10 free ice creams from Chick Fli A, Love Coupons (that I made and are totally silly), and a really cool puzzle.

All in all we had a great weekend, the kids loved that Cupid came and left them Valentine's gifts.

Gotta Love the Vlassic Pickle Guy!!!

The Kids and I with a big Chicken Foot...LOL

They were having a blast, and LOVED all the free goodies!!!

This Chicken Makes me laugh every year!!!

Grandon LOVED petting the animals, the baby lamb ran off right when we got the camera out!!!

Endowment!!!

I'm happy to say I get my endowments on February 20th at 9:30 am in the San Antonio, Temple!!!!!

How Should We Celebrate?

On February 16th, it will be Clayton and I's 4th anniversary! It seems like it's been much longer than that, is that good or bad?

This year, I want to do something different, in the years past we haven't really been able to celebrate, because of money restrictions, kids, or something called life!!!

Since I'm a planner and I like to plan ahead on all things! Don't believe me, just ask Clayton and my mom, Grandon and Madison's birthday's are in March and June, and I'm already gathering everything for there parties!

Okay, off my tangent!

Since we got married 2 days after Valentine's Day we combine it all into one day!

I need some ideas on what we should do!

My Mircle named Grandon...

Your first born always has a special place in every mother's heart. Grandon is no different for me. He taught me so many things that I never even knew I was missing out on! Motherhood is such a wonderful and joyous club to be a part of. A club I never thought I EVER wanted to be a part of.

I've always loved kids just never thought I'd have my own kids. Through all the surgeries and complications we've gone through with Grandon, we've learned more patients then ever thought to be learned, we learned to be grateful and count our blessings. Both our children are blessings to us and the most wonderful gifts we could ever get!

Even though we would love to have more kids, Heavenly Father had other plans for us! So I guess we'll just have to take the two we've got ;)!!!!

My Beautiful Madison

A little slide show that Clayton and I put together. We love our little girl oh so much! she has been such a blessing to our family! We are so thankful for the gift of her. Our Heavenly Father really knows us and our needs. He knew my need/want for her. I'm so grateful!!!

She is just so beautiful and amazing and brightens up our life so much, We love you Maddie Moo-Moo's!!!

Princess Madison!!!

We had some of our family gather at our house on Christmas Eve, and Madison was able to talk her cousin Leeander into pushing her around, after all she is a Princess!!!!
