Tawnya's Graduation Party!

Well my baby sister did it! She is the first in our family to graduate college. I am so proud of her and her committment. She is such a great girl and I just can't believe she is a college graduate. Time sure flies. So anyways.... I decided to throw her a surprise graduation party it was lots of fun. She had no idea. 

 We had all her friends come and we had a barbeque and Jello Shots (LDS Jello Shots that is).
 We had a pinata which is always a huge hit with the littles.
 The other big hit was our Photo Booth. We got some great pictures. Tawnya and her besties Sylvia and Kylee. They helped me out with this surprise. Mostly by getting her to my house without her knowing. It was tricky but they pulled it off BEAUTIFULLY! Thanks girlies!

 Tawnya was the most popular person that night. EVERYONE wanted their picture with her. Of course who wouldn't she is a beauty! 




 Grandma Cox even got in on the fun event! 
 How sweet is this picture! Love these 2 peeps! 
 All the grandkids with the Grandma
 Dad wanted to graduate too. 
 AHHHH! 
 Me and my honey! 
 Uncle Joe showing us his feminine side! Work that camera!!! 
 Brittany and Mckayla....No words. 
 Brittanys family. Well those that could come anyways. 
 My funny group. Karstons is my favorite! I don't think he knew what that was! 
 My boys! 








We love you baby sis! We are soooooo incredibly proud of you. Always have been and always will be! Your the greatest girl I know. I know that Heavenly Father has lots of special things in store for you and your future!

4th of July 2013

It has become our tradition I guess that for the 4th of July we go camping up to Heise. I love that place its so fun and relaxing. 
 Karston just Chillin! 
 Jayden looking so handsome eating a treat! 
 After he finsihed his treat he discovered that filling up his ziplock bag with water made a great water balloon! He was so cute and proud of himself. Kept him very busy. 
 So then of course Karston had to join in and it turned into one big water fight. It was awesome! 
 While drying out we played a little ball. One of Jaydens favorite things to do. 
 The Golf course has always been one of my most favorite places. It is so cute and fun. We decided to take the boys and see what they thought. 
 They did a pretty good job with the help of daddy. 

 Dad sporting Jayden's hat. 


 Hahaha I love the faces that they pull. 
 Family picture attempt #1. Jayden hates getting his pictures taken. But, we tried anyways.
 You can't go without getting a Potty picture. You have to shoot the ball down the toilet! 
 This has to be my most FAVORITE picture of Jayden EVER! It captures him perfectly. That smile melts my heart!
 Brothers stinking up the bathroom. 
 No family photo time! Yup this was a successful picture don't you think? 
 It was a long day. Had to make time for a snooze! I have always loved watching my babies sleep. They are so incredibly peaceful and absolutly precious! 
 Love that these boys love to be together. Best Buddies for sure! I hope it always stays that way. 
 While we there we also decided to take Karston Zip Lining. I really didn't think he would do it. I was COMPLETELY wrong. This boy LOVED it. He had absolutely NO fear. He even went on the last line ALL alone. He had the biggest grin on his face. He was so proud of himself.


 I have to admit that I cried when I saw him coming down by himself. I can't believe how quickly he has grown up and what a brave little boy he is becoming. Great trip Great memory!
