A Blue, Blue, Blue Christmas

Maren and Brock hate taking naps, but with two-year-old twins, naps are very, very, very, important. They cried and cried today when we put them down, but then they were quiet, and we thought they'd gone to sleep! After a little while, we realized that it was getting late, so Blake went to check on them while I started dinner.

He suddenly hollered for me to get in there! I RAN down the hall thinking something was wrong, and yep... there was, just not what I thought! It was one of those " you can either laugh or you can cry" moments! (I chose to laugh!)

On Saturday, I had been working on a project for Christmas, and my little bottle of blue paint had disappeared! I looked everywhere for it, but didn't find it until today!

Brock & Maren took off all their clothes, stripped their beds of their blankets, and emptied the ENTIRE bottle out on the floor and did some body painting/redecorating during "nap" time!

Dinner burned, but the BLUE MAN GROUP and their room got cleaned up. (don't look too close at the carpet!)

The Northern Cox Family Christmas Party

We gathered together the week before Christmas eve at our house here in Clinton. All the relatives who now live in Northern Utah were invited (Nate, Rachel, Kristen, Dan + Kyle was up here to visit his in-laws) but due to a big snow storm, unfortunately Kyle and Kristen didn't make it.
It was our intent to continue the traditional Christmas parties we had at Grandma & Grandpa Cox's house when we we're little! We ate dinner (compliments of Nate and Terra's Ward Christmas Party leftovers hehehehe) then the kids acted out the Nativity while Blake read from the Bible! Jordyn was Mary, Joshua was Joseph, Hailee was the Baby Jesus, Brock, Maren and Taylor were the Wise Men, Derrick was a shepherd, and Jaide the Angel. It was sweet and hilarious all at the same time, as "Joseph" was embarrassed to be married to Mary, the "Wise men" kept crying, fighting and running off, and the "baby Jesus" stared bewildered at all of us, not having a clue at what was going on!

We sang Christmas Carols and watched a special movie Rachel made for us, then Lo and Behold! Santa knocked on our door, and left us our traditional "gag" gifts! LOL! We had a great time, it was so fun to be together, it really brought the Christmas Spirit!

New House!


We moved into our new house on Thursday, November 9th! It was a chaotic experience, as we we're only given one week to move! (Got the offer on Halloween Day, had to close on the 7th, and Jordyn had sugery on the 3rd! Yikes!)
Miracles happened as folks showed up out of nowhere to help us out, and for that we're sooo grateful! More drama after we moved in.... the carpet needed replacing immediately, so we didn't even get to unpack for quite awhile! Now with the new carpet & lots of buckets of paint, we have a beautiful new house, and we feel quite at home! We love the space, the yard is huge, and the neighbors are fantastic! Hooray! The greatest part is that we're nearly done unpacking and I can park in the garage!

PRESENTS!

The Best Part!
Maren sat right down and began doing her hair!



Shoe sorting... someone's gotta do it!



Mom needs help with her make-up...



Dad does too!









"Aunt Jordyn" is babysitting


Jaide and Maren have "shoe love" in common!











Playing Trucks with Big Brothers... Derrick and Josh are having as much fun with Brock's toys as he is!

Good Morning!




Maren was pretty upset when we didn't get right in there after she woke up. (we were trying to get the b-day breakfast made fast!) She was up and at it, hollering for us to hurry up and come get her! When we opened the door and started singing, she was truely surprised!

Brock, as usual, let Maren do all the fussing, and patiently waited until we arrived, but was still as perplexed. It's so fun to watch their funny reactions!

Double Birthday's!


The Twins had a terrific Two year old birthday! We all came into their room to sing "Happy Birthday" to them, and they obviously didn't know what was going on! But I think they caught on quick though, after Jordyn's and Derrick's birthday's just a couple of weeks ago, the recognized the patterns, and by the time there was cake, they had it down! Brock saw the candles in his cupcake and started sing "Hah-Bir-Day to youooo!" It was so cute! Enjoy the pictures!

Derrick's Birthday 11 Years Old!


On September 29, 2006, Derrick turned 11 years old. He got a pair of black Converse High tops, a pink shirt, a pink tie, some hunting equipment, and after he brushed his teeth, he was given a ride to school in his all-time favorite car; a Nissan 350 "Z." He STILL can't stop talking about the car!
