My Halloween Cuties!!!!!!!

HaPPy HaLLoWeeN!!!!!!!

This is the only one I did any editing too...

fun..fun...

We went to Ikea with the family the other day. It was fun to just relax and do nothing for a little while.Cute kids..Parks & Kk eating lunch.

My cute Halloween Baby!

Chocolate face Bright...He wouldn't show me his Chocolate smile.

Poor Deeds got his first black eye...poor kid was standing all by himself and then face planted!
I have it all on video if you'd like to see;)

G2 walked for the first time! He was so cute but would get too excited and then start to fall.

This is how our stinker sleeps now.
We put her to bed on her back then she gets mad and flips to her tummy.

Then we go check and she's got her "little" bootie straight up in the air.

Our little Pumpkin Pixie had a ward Halloween party last night.

She was sooooo excited to dress up twice!
She wouldn't go with out the rain boots!

This is the super yummy dinner I made last night!

It is a recipe I stole from my mama...stuffed sqaush with Turkey....so good!

My kiddo's love playing together.

Kk was taking picture's of me this morning while I was trying to get her shoes on her
...not to bad eh?

Well I have to feed the kid and get dinner ready for the rest of us so I'll try to write tomorrow:)

WARNING..this is a Very long one!

It has been a CrAZy week for us to say the least. I'm not going to go into the details but it's been emotional for all of us. We made it through though...with lots of tears, and a few laughs along the way.

We took family pictures Saturday...they are very cute but you'll have to wait to see them...they're on dad's computer:(

We headed up to Gpa Dan's tonight to carve pumpkins. It was fun to hang out with Family.

Doesn't Michael look super happy to be posing for this cheesy picture? :)

Kik & Adam & Jayci at the pumpkin patch.Keija Loves eating this carrier. That look on her face is priceless!Nat & Aubri!Aubri sitting in Chandler's pumpkin!Kk & her pumpkin!Me & my winking goblin!I didn't get a picture of Michael with his pumpkin but his is the witch in the middle.
My munchkins in their matching Halloween Jammies!
Wow-looks like they have this pose down:)

Keija has been laughing and giggling for a while but she will never do it unless we are home so we caught it on video last night...ok I was going to post the video but after a half hour of it not loading you'll just have to take my word for it. It is funny to have her roll onto her tummy when she goes to sleep and scoot her way up to the top of her crib. She then gets up on all four and repeatedly smacks her head into the corner of the crib...I'm really hoping she's not causing any permanent damage. I'll have to try and get that on tape too.

We are enjoying our little angel more and more everyday. It is amazing to see her little personality grow and see how different she is from her big sister.

Kailye has been doing incredibly well with reading. We even let her read the scriptures at night. I don't ever remember being able to read as quickly as she does when I was 5. She has been learning to read with some books Gma Maxwell gets her but she gets bored with them after the first day or two. She reads every sign we pass on the road and rarely gets stumped. She shocked my dad on Saturday when we pulled up next to a bank and she spouted out "Bank of American Fork" my dad then asked her what it said underneath and she said "Pleasant Grove..uh?" We drove off before she could finish reading 'branch'. I'm amazed at how her little mind works.
Michael has had a very rough 2 weeks that is just now starting to get a little better. He is still working hard and trying to handle the pressures of life. I am so grateful to have such an amazing husband. I can truly say I married my best friend. He loves me regardless of my faults and I LOVE him regardless of his. He is working SO hard to be a better husband and father and I thank the Lord every day for sending him to me.
I am hanging in there. It's been rough for me too lately with the seizure last week and a sickness that just doesn't seem to quit. I have been working hard to take care of my kids with out getting them sick too. NOT so easy. Thank goodness Michael can help. Thank you to every one for the prayers and support. We are doing much better, and trying to take life one day at a time.

4 Months!

I was sick on the day Keija turned 4 months old..so this is a few days late.

Our sweet little angel is rolling all over, laughing at everything & getting too big way too fast.
She is always happy...unless she's hungry...and loves her big sister already. She's always happiest when KK gets home & has a huge smile for Daddy as he walks through the door!
We love you little Monkey!!!

uh...lets just say it was a long weekend?

This past weekend was loads of fun! No really who doesn't love a trip to the ER in an ambulance? I wasn't feeling so great last week so Friday I stayed home and did nothing. Saturday I felt too sick to go to the U game:(--you know I had to be sick to miss a game. SO I sent Michael and Kk on there way and Keija and I stayed home.

Sunday it hit me! I was out for the count...SOOOO sick. I was too weak to really even get out of bed. It didn't help that I was also UBER- stressed about my husband and his own illness right now-him being the bread winner and all. Well Sunday night I went into the bathroom to throw up-TMI I know-and the last thing I remembered was calling for Michael.

Michael came in to find me colapsed on the floor apparently having a seizer. I don't remember anything up until I got to the hospital. So if you'd like to know what it's like to ride in an ambulance ...don't ask me I don't remember. I can tell you that if you are in the Orem area there is a nice EMT with a New york accent.

The doctor said this is my "one free seizer". If it happens again I will have to do a TON of tests...fingers crossed it doesn't. They did a CT scan and ran a bunch of blood tests and everything came back normal so hopefully there is no underlying problem. I have still been home sick for the past few days and will likely be home again tomorrow. I still feel awful, but I'm downing as much fluid as possible. Michael has been home sick also but he's headed back to work tomorrow. My mom also had back surgery on Monday and I haven't gotten a chance to go see her yet so hopefully tomorrow?!

THANK yOU!!!!- to all Holly for taking KK the past 2 days and Leeana for staying with the girls while we were at the hospital. Thank you Bobbie for the Chuck Norris humor and Thank you so much for the blessings for Michael & I from dad & Art. We are SO grateful to have you all so close. Well to say it has been an emotional week would be an extreme understatement. Hopefully things will be back to normal in a few days.

What?! 2 Posts in 1 day?!?!

This is what we got to wake up with this morning!!!And now!!!???
The mood swings of an infant are so funny!

We now are making hair bows for nearly everyday. Kk loves picking out the ribbons and colors herself!

We LOVE this toy!!!!! Zoo animals are so fun when they smack me in the face!

This is what happens when you haven't been to the store in a while? It is everything from our fridge that could make a salad for Kk and I for lunch. Lettuce (iceberg-not do great but OK), chicken, honey toasted almonds, local orchard apples, Parmesan cheese, and your choice of Raspberry vinigarette dressing or ranch! mmmm!

My girls being silly!

I love this picture!

Ok lady enough with the pictures!

no syrup today:(

Well today is one of those days where "the show must go on!" as a mom. Although contrary to the stage I have no understudy. I feel a little off today and I'm really hoping it's just the allergies roaring their ugly head one last time?! We'll see.

I went and watched the ByU vs. TCU game last night at mom and dad's. It was so sad for all those ByU fans out there. I was personally...uh...not so sad. I did hope a little that Byu would win so we could both go undefeated into the rivalry game but oh well! Now we just need to tromp TCU and it will be a beautiful season!

I don't really have much else to say...my head isn't really working right today! I'm hoping this "illness" whatever it is only lasts one day.

WARNING! WARNING! MAJOR Syrup ahead!

Okay this is going to be all over the place because I never remember to add the pictures in chronological order.

This is the newest addition to the Cox extended family. This adorable little angel is Lilliana! She is Beautiful! Congratulations Rachael & Orlando!!

Keija's new trick...thanks to the help of uncle Art!!

Isn't that hairbow stinkin' cute!!! It is my favorite I've made to date!

I bought a high chair, since our little stinker is eating anything she can get her mits on!
The best part is it only cost me $20! oh I love Ikea.

!!!THE PROJECTS!!!
I refinished Gma & Gpa's old table! I am loving having so much more room for dinner, company, and grocery bags:)

I painted the bathroom vanity. I should have taken a before but I forgot. Trust me when I say this is a TON better!!

A preview of my pumpkin babies!

Michael can't leave in the morning with out his smile from Keija and if she's asleep when he gets home at night he has to wake her up.
This morning he missed his smile so I sent this pic to him!

My 5 year old is a pro with the chop stix! I can't do it AT ALL!!
yummy Happy Sumo!

I went out in the backyard at mom's today to find KK dancing with her shadow!!

I also found these super cute boys hiding from me! They were so fun to watch jump out from behind the greenhouse!! I love my nephews!!

(I know what it looks like, but that's not what he's doing:)

We took Deeds with us to Leeana's Bday dinner at The Mayan! He just wanted to look at everything and watch the divers.

I made Kristin a few cute bows for C-ra! This is her putting them in:)

I even made a Byu football one..I know...I can hear you all now..."haaa? what Trish not a Utah bow?" It was too cute I'll have to have Kristin poat a picture!

Spider cup cakes at mom's!!! I was late but everyone did such a cute job.

We took a drive up the Alpine Loop on Sunday...SOOOO beautiful! I love the mountains!

This is the toy Michael wants to keep! We "test drove" it for the weekend! We love it but it's going to have to wait a year. Crazy thing is this beast gets better gas mileage than my bus!

"Seriously daddy?...mmmm...I love suckers and Saturday night football!"

How cute is this kid!?...Jayci is getting so big!

I finally got Michael to hang up the picture in my room! I love it!
I need a new bed spread, but it's going to have to wait for MULA$

Oh and I got him to hang the Mirror!!! I need to re-paint the walls and get a few more furnishings and I'll have an entire room completely done :P yeah, I've lived here a year people!

Rach & Teresa with Kailye. She LOVES them!

Keija ready for the soccer game, in the SNOW!!! you've got to love that UTAH weather!

Just another Crazy Kailye picture!

We have had a crazy and emotional week but we have been happy to have had so much time together!

Michael:
Still Very busy!

Trish:
Running around and keeping very busy with nothing at all!

Kailye:
Loving school but getting fairly bored reviewing what she already knows!

Keija:
Happy as ever!
