2nd Grade

I got to spend a lot of time with Emily and her 2nd grade class today. In the morning I was able to attend the assembly where I watched her receive the student of the month award. I was so proud of her! Later in the afternoon her school did a project called "Around the Town" and invited all the parents. The kids each got a wooden block to paint and decorate like a building. Next week they will put all of their buildings together to form a community. Then the mayor came and read them a book about communities and talked to them about his job and what he does. The kids loved it and I had a great time spending the day with Emily at her school!

Surprise

LeeRoy has been gone to Boise for training the the last week and a half. He was supposed to come home on Thursday but they finished early so he called me this morning saying he was heading home. He got in town about the same time I was picking up Emily from dance so he hid and waited for us to get back. I told the girls I had a surprise for them in our bedroom and when they opened the door and turned on the light they were so excited to see their dad waiting for them!

Dear Tooth Fairy

Emily lost another tooth and was very excited to put it under her pillow. She does know the truth about the tooth fairy but always has fun playing along with the idea. Tonight was especially great because she put this with her tooth before she went to bed. I thought it was so cute I just had to share.

Crazy Wendy

I was cooking dinner last night and while I was chopping up some bell peppers Wendy asked me if she could hold one. I said sure and handed it to her. Next thing I know she hands this back to me and says "all done". I about died!

I'm with Coco

Champion

We are a game family. Card games...board games....video games....we love them all! We play games together all the time so I had this trophy made. Now when we have a game night whoever wins the most games gets to keep the trophy in their room until the next game night. Tonight we sipped glasses of orange Julius and played SkipBo, Sorry Sliders, and Operation. We each won a game so we decided on Yahtzee as the tiebreaker. It was fun and Emily was the first one to become the Cox Family Game Champion!

New Year's Eve

Last night was New Year's Eve. We met the Palmers for dinner and then went home to start our own little party. We introduced Emily to some new games only to have her destroy us at Yahtzee. Her first time playing and she got 4 Yahtzees to achieve the new high score of 565. Many games of Skipbo and Uno Attack later it was finally 2010, (Eastern Time.......heehee). We happily celebrated as we brought in the new year together and look forward to all the memories and special moments we will share in the year to come.
