Babysitting











Yesterday My sister had to go take a enterance exam to get into a nursing program so she let me watch lil steven. The cutest lil chub ball ever.. Having him and Wesley is a little challenging but do able... Wesley had gone down for a nap and after his nap he awok

e to find his cousin Steven in his house. Wesley isn't the nicest to him.. he loves him but tries bitting him without anyone finding out so at first he layed down with him. Then he was "playing" with his hand.. and finally Steven started hitting Wesley in his face.. it was hilarious. and Steven was laughing. Wesley thought it was funny too cause normally Steven doesnt react.

I'm a Crazy Mom Mark says..







I might be crazy but the kids think im fun.. At the fair they have trampolines that the kids bounce on and then they are attached to wire. Chloe and Tyler really wanted to do it so I thought it would be fun.. This wasnt some junkie fair ride it was done by a business in Fesno and looked lagit.. so as we went in Wesley wanted to do it too and since he weighed more the 22 pounds he could.. So Tyler went first he was soo scared to even bounce.. Then Wesley went.. He was sooo loving it.. while wesley was bouncing Chloe got on.. So Chloe and Wesley were bouncing at the same time (different tramps) and Wesley thought it was sooo fun to watch chloe go soooo high.. Then she did flips.. She was daring... But she had a blast.. Wesley didnt go very High but It was so much fun for him.. They all loved it.. and they thought I was cool.. not crazy..

Cooking..
















A lady in our ward past away on saterday and her funeral is today.. Being that im a stay at home mom and I had a bunch of food in my food storage I had to work through.. I am in charge of the meal for 40 people.. I decided I would just do Chicken alfredo, salad rolls and desert.. easy enough.. Well being that Mark still feels like Wesley is too young to spend time with him on the ranch without me being there ... Wesley gets a lot of mommy time.. Which I love.. But He loves to clean, cook, play with playdough, color, ect. Mark says "those are mommy things"..haha thats so coming from a Cox. So I had to prepare food this morning.. Wesley of course wanted to help.. so as usual I pulled the bar stool up and he helped.. Since July Wesley has learned his hot from his cold.. so while near the stove he kept saying hot..hot.. Ive trained him well... He is going to be such a good boy.. I love that hes such a great helper..

A Fun/Unexpected Day..
















On Saterday I decided to take Tyler and Wesley for a boys day to Adventure Park.. We were going to miniture golf.. As many of you might know im a pro at mini golf.. And I get a lil competive. So I took the boys out there with my game face on.. I had Tyler go first he did great but still has a hard time remembering that you cant touch the ball with your hands and hit the ball so hard it fly's in the bushes everytime. Wesley went next.. I showed him how to swing the club and hit the ball.. When I went I tried hitting the ball when Wesley picked it up for me.. He's soo sweet.. By the 2nd hole.. lets just say I retired my club in my bag.. I had given my ball to tyler because he had already lost his ball... and I helped wes play a lil golf.. By mid way through wesley learned how to do it.. It was a great stradegy.. He would pick up the ball and put it in the hole.. it was hilarious.. It was so much fun to see the boys have there own twist to miniture golf.. After we golfed and it was sooo hot we went and had Icee's.. Then we went on the water bumper boats where wes and I Squirted Ty with water.. The boys and I had a blast..

Tyler hard at work


Saterday Tyler, Wes and I had a boys-Mommy/Aunt day.. I took the boys to adventure park for a lil get away fun.. But Tyler was so hard at work that day trying to loose his from tooth.. I had prepared for him to loose it so I packed a zip lock and some tissue.. of course he lost it in the car.. so I told him to get the zip lock out of his pocked so we did'nt loose his tooth when he yells... OPPPSSS.. He dropped his tooth.. Oh well now I have a tooth in my car.. The tooth fairy still brought him his money.. But he was soo proud that he lost that tooth..

Vote Chloe for Treasurer
















My niece Chloe ran for Treasurer last week in school. She was so excited to run and it was so great for her self esteem.. We made some really cute posters and the cutest name tags for her to hand out. My sister helped her with her speech and she did such a great job. The only problem was that she was a forth grader and there were 11 other kids running for the same position.. She didnt win but she did a great job and we are so proud of her..

A Day with Daddy..
















Last week My nephew Tyler had a field trip at the farm show.. My sister and I both attended with the two little boys. After the field trip I had to go to the ranch and do a few things in the office.. So I let Wesley ride the tractor with daddy.. of course finally I had my camera with me thanks to the field trip.. And took some cute pictures... Steven.. my baby nephew was with us as well so he was able to take his first tractor ride with Wesley and uncle Mark..

All Summer Long and Nothing..
















All Summer long Wesley has been so content with walking around the pool. He had never had an interest in swimming up until about 2 weeks ago.. Mark showed him how to climb in on his tummy.. now 2 weeks after that he just walks right off the edge.. talk about every mom's nightmare.. thank goodness we have a fence.. He will pretend to swim with someone helping him.. he kicks and kicks... but next summer we definetly have to give him swimming lessons...
