One for All, and All for One?

Don't you just hate sibling rivalry sometimes?! The competition between brothers can be so painful especially when one wins and the other doesn't.

The first thought through a parents mind is " Great job_______ that is awesome!" Unfortunatly, the second thought is "Ugh, how is ______ going to feel?"

It sort of ruins that moment of joy you have for your winning child.

So, to prepare Spencer for an upcoming blow I had a talk with the boys about how when one person in our family does something well, it's like we all did well. I compared it to a soccer or baseball team. When one player has a good play or makes a goal, the whole team gets the point.

I asked each boy if he would be happy for the other if that person won something and he didn't. They said that they would.

Part one: check.

This morning at the relections assembly, our family had a winner. Cameron won in the visual arts category. Spencer received an award for participating.

Part Two: Check.

I got the two boys together afterwards for a joint picture. At first, Spencer wouldn't smile.

Mom: "Spencer, just yesterday you said that you would be happy for Cameron. Remember?"

Spencer: "No, mom. I said I would be proud of him.....not happy."

Part Three: (bomb whistle and explosion) No check.

He eventually came around....sort of! Cameron, we are all so proud of you. Good luck at the regoinal level. Way to score for the team. Spencer, you scored too....for finally being happy AND proud of your brother!

Almost there!

Like I wrote earlier, we are trying to teach our children to have better manners. The other day I called downstairs for Ashley to come and help me with some chores. She called upstairs...
"No Thank You, Mom!"

At least she was polite about it!

Classic!

Thanks, Anna, for taking our pictures. This is the most realistic picture we have....I can't help but laugh everytime I see it!

Ladies First

I've been trying to teach the boys to have better manners. Rule #1 has been: Ladies first. So whenever I have all three empty bowls in front of me waiting for breakfast or lunch to be served. I have been serving Ashley first and saying "Ladies First!"

The other day Cameron wasn't letting Ashley do something first, I don't even remember what it was, and I heard Ashley angrily yelling...."Cameron, I am first. You're being a lady!"

So, the other day I was making Ashley a sandwich......and man, you've got to love little kid talk!!

Mom: Ashley, what kind of sandwich do you want?

Ashley: Girl cheese.

Mom: Grilled Cheese?

Ashley: That's what I said....girl cheese!

Say Cheese!

Anna Olsen, the neighbor, took these pictures of Ashley for fun the other day!

"A" is for Ashley!

My heart takes a twirl

when I see a smile on my little girl!

Spring Recital

Spencer finished his year in Manti Music and Dance this May. He performed as an orphan singing "It's a Hard Knock Life" from Annie with his age group (6-8 yrs) and he did a routine to "Getcha Head in the Game" from High School Musical with an all boys group.

Adam's Blessing Day

Adam was blessed the first weekend in May, just days before he was one month old.

He had a good turnout of family and friends.

We were lucky that the weather cooperated. It stopped raining that weekend long enough for our guests to enjoy the luncheon.

What an angel!

Cameron's 6th Birthday

Cameron enjoyed being the king of the day. He got to choose all the meals we ate that day. He was pretty easy on me by asking for cereal for breakfast then sandwiches for lunch! The boys woke up at 6:30am because they were so excited for presents. I think Spencer was just as excited about the presents as Cameron was. I was able to talk them into waiting until 7am to open them. Cameron's primary teacher brought him a present later that morning and Cameron asked "Am I getting presents all day long!" He got to take treats to his Kindergarten class and then afterschool he had his friend birthday party. He wanted to go to the park again this year. He invited 6 friends since he was 6 yrs. old, although not all of them came.

He had birthday rice krispies at the friend party and birthday cake that night with family!

Cameron dished out lots of wishes for a million dollars to each friends during "Heavy, heavy hangover." It pays to be his friend!

Front: Joshua Pipes, Keegan Merrill, Cameron Cox, Austin Cox, Jacob T.

Back: Abigail (Spencer's friend), Ashley Cox, Spencer Cox

That night we made yummy homemade pizza and had the neighbors and extended family over for cake and ice cream! We had so much fun all day long and none of the kids got to bed before 10pm....what a day!

Baby Fertilizer

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted. It's amazing how much time a new baby takes. I have lots of pictures of Adam's blessing and Cameron's birthday to post....I'll do that later.

I wanted to write about something funny that Cameron said today. Rich and I have sort of been complaining about how we have to mow the lawn twice a week since the fertilizer we added is making the grass grow so fast. Here is what I heard today:

Cameron: "Adam is a big baby."

Dad: "Yep, he's getting bigger."

Cameron: "That what happens when you fertilize him."

Happy Birthday Wendy!

I had a lot of fun on my birthday! A bunch of my friends got together for lunch at another friends house. It was a fun, busy, and crazy day. As another friend put it..."My body isn't feeling the same as it once did. Wouldn't you know it would happen right after the 30 yr. guarantee wore off! I knew I should've bought the extended warranty."

You gotta love the post-pregnancy hair do. A shower....what's that?!?!?

Rich and I have been so blessed with great friends and family. We've recieved so much support and many loving gifts....thank you to all of you!!!

Adam is four weeks now! I am actually surprised at how quickly time has been passing. He is being blessed tomorrow and wouldn't you know it.....he broke out into the "blessing rash."

Before.....
After.....

He is doing really well. He seems to be growing faster and faster. I really have to watch Ashley like a hawk around Adam because she thinks she can pick him up and walk around with him. I've already caught her moving him around twice when he is suppossed to be taking a nap.

GOOOOOOAL!

Cameron just finished up his season of soccer this week. He had a good time and even won a few times! His coach gave each member of his team a medal for playing so well. He wears it everywhere.

He's Here!

We had a baby boy on April 5th. Two hours after I got home from the Miss Manti pageant I went into labor. We left in the middle of the night to go to the hospital. Grandma Cox came and stayed with the kids. By 7am that morning our precious baby boy was born. He was a big boy. He weighed in a 9 lbs. 3 oz. and 20.5 inches long. We weren't expecting a boy so we were caught off guard. It took us some time, but in the end, we named him Adam David Cox!

Spencer cried when he found out the baby was a boy. Once he laid eyes on him, he was hooked. The kids came to see me in the hospital with grandma and grandpa Cox. Then they spent a few days in Ogden with Grandma Valeen.

We had lots of visitors from friends and neighbors. We are so blessed to know such great people. We thoroughly enjoyed all the presents, treats, and dinners that were brought in.

Adam is a lucky kid. He is surrounded by people who love and adore him. He is very good natured and easy going. Being as big as he was has helped him be a great eater and an even better sleeper! Mom is really happy about that.

You asked for it!!!

I am including the most recent picture of me. I've been trying to stay on the other side of the camera. With one more week to go, we're getting down to the end of our pregnancy! Hurray! It'll be a sacrifice but I'll do my best to say goodbye to leg cramps, middle of the night visits to the bathroom, contractions whenever I sit too long, the ever enlarging abdominal area and more! Mostly, it'll be hard not to hear "are you having twins?" or "wow, you look ready to pop!"

I look forward to holding our newest family member close to my heart and kissing his/her little nose. The wait is almost over...is it a boy? Is it a girl?

Am I My Brothers Keeper?

I love how much the boys really do love each other. They can fight like the dickens but in the end they really stay involved in everything the other is doing. Last week, the first graders performed their annual play. It was "How Does Your Garden Grow?" Spencer enjoyed being apart of the show. He practiced his part and had taught Cameron most of the words to most of the songs. Whenever I couldn't understand a part, I could turn to Cam.

Cameron: " They said....."

Cameron: "Keep watching because next....."

Here is Spencer on the back row singing! He was a scarecrow.

Here are David and Spencer after the play. Don't they look tough?!

We spent the weekend with family. It started with a princess birthday party for cousin Londyn. Then on to "Grandma Valeen's"!

Uncle Randy has been storing his three wheeler at Grandma's house. The boys, being thoughtful and kind (like their mother), didn't want the three wheeler feeling lonely. So, like any genereous red-blooded American boys, they lovingly took it for a spin!

Cameron got pretty brave, especially when he discovered 2nd gear!

Ashley preferred the skooter...

.....Cameron didn't!
