Halloween Week

Here are some pictures from our Halloween Week!
We decorated cookies on Sunday and in this picture Daisy is trying to make the same face that the pumpkin cookie has.

Here is Dusty with his pumpkin cookie making the same face!

On Monday we made some Halloween stew with pumpkin rolls.

Then we carved our pumpkins for family night.

On Thursday, Daisy had a Halloween party at her preschool. She dressed up like a beautiful princess.

Here is Daisy and some of her preschool friends.

On Thursday night we had a spooky Halloween dinner and everyone got to dress up in a costume and we ate some very scary food.

Now here are some pictures of us on Halloween night as Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompas!

We had a very fun Halloween but we missed being around all the family and trick-or-treating at the grandparents. We love you!

Mole Burning on Sunday Night!

Okay, this post is at the request of Dusty... Dusty discovered about 10 years ago that he could burn his moles off by getting a screwdriver red hot and then singeing the skin. Sounds like fun, huh?? Well, anyways, he has burned a few of my moles off before and decided to do a few more tonight. It's a nice, wholesome, couple-bonding activity.

WE'RE FAMOUS!

Last night we went with our neighbors, the Burtons, to the trick-or-treat street at Snake River Landing here in Idaho Falls and we were featured on the local news! Here is the link to the video to check it out.

I'll post some more pictures after tonight!

Wishing......

This morning I woke up and I wished we had moved to Las Vegas, NV. I was also wishing that global warming wasn't such a big scam because I think it would be really nice if things were a little warmer!

But at least I have an incredibly awesome husband who scrapes off my windows!!

Toys... Toys... Toys...

The last few weeks Dusty has been buying quite a few little boy toys! So I thought I would post pictures of them. But if any of you know Dusty at all, these toys might not be around for long!
He got a Hummer h2, an acura for me, a hardknock 515o hardtail cruiser, and a honda 4-wheeler. The other day we went for a ride down by the canal on the 4-wheeler and enjoyed the beautiful fall leaves. But there is one other suprise toy that he got that is REALLY awesome but you will have to wait to see it until we send out our Christmas cards!

Our New Home!

Here is a quick little catch-up with us. Then maybe I will stay more up to date! If you haven't heard yet, we have moved to Idaho Falls, ID! We have rented a nice home and are really enjoying our neighborhood. Daisy has lots of little friends in the neighborhood and is attending a mommy preschool two days a week. She loves it! This last summer we celebrated Daisy and Addie's birthdays! Daisy turned 3 and had a Sleeping Beauty party and Addie turned 1 with a teddy bear party. We had a wonderful summer! So now enjoy a slideshow of our pictures from the summer!

Huge Changes Ahead!

Okay it's catch up time, so you might want to go and grab some munchies before you start to read this post because A LOT has happened since April. Here we go from the beginning.....

First of all here is a cute picture of the girls on Easter morning.

In the morning of Sunday May 31st, our dog Goosey had 6 little puppies. They were all beautiful little golden retrievers and Goosey was a wonderful mom. They just turned 6 weeks so now they are all with their new owners and we miss having the little puppies around. Actually Daisy loved the little puppies when they were first born but once they turned 5 weeks old they started to run and she didn't like that much. Daisy would go screaming and crying around the yard with 6 little white fluff balls nippin' at her heels. Dusty and I got a pretty good laugh out of it though!

Here they are at 2 days old!

Here they are at 3 weeks old sharing nap time with Addie!

This one was my favorite little one... we called him Chubbs

Next Dusty and I have called our property Sleepy Hollow so Dusty set out and did some landscaping. He put 3 boulders that were about 5 ft high at the entrance of our property and then made a sign and welded it into the rock. Then he hooked up some lights to shine on it at night. It turned out looking awesome but then again anything he does always turns out that way! Great job Dusters!

Okay now for something I never thought I would ever have on my "to do" list, let alone checked off! On June 27th, I ran a Mountain to Meadow half-marathon at Lolo Pass, Montana. I have been training with some friends and we went and did it! Dusty came with Addie too, to help and be the babysitter! This was my first race ever and it was STINKIN' HARD! It was uphill for the first 4 miles, at least! And then it was uphill again and again and again! At one point we could see the other runners right above us on the switchback. Trust me, that was not a comforting thought. Anyways I did it and ran the whole 14 gruesome miles! That was our goal... not to walk and we accomplished it! Thanks to my friends Joni, JoAnn, and Travis! My time was 2:21:47 which I was very happy with considering we were at 5600' elevation and the whole thing was practically uphill!! Here are some pictures and a picture of the beautiful meadow we ran by. Addie also got some shots with the mountain men that were present!

Okay now for the biggest news of all! We decided to put our home up for sale, just to see if it would sell and it did! It actually sold in 1 week with more than our asking price. We ended up showing the house 8 times and had 3 offers on it!! The deal ended up being perfect, it was debt free on our side and all cash on the buyer side too, so it went smooth as silk!

So what's next for the Cox Family you ask???

WE DON'T KNOW

yet....

but we do have things in the works... I guess you will just have to stay tuned to find out further details. But one thing for sure we will be leaving the area.... onto another adventure!
