Aubrey's Going to be TWO - WOW!

Time to celebrate! I can't believe Aubrey will be two. We are having a birthday party for Aubrey in a week from today, September 1st (Labor day), at our house at noon. There will be a light lunch so, if you come, feel free to bring your favorite salad, chips, or beverage. Of course there will be cake and ice-cream. Hip, Hip, Hooray!   

Lake Powell was AWESOME! August 13-16

We had a blast going to Lake Powell! We took the whole family, Corey, Aubrey and even big pregnant momma (me) went. I'm glad we all went because it was so much fun. We went to the Arizona side of Lake Powell (I can't spell Waweep). The drive was a little unbearable from Logan to Lake Powell, but well worth it! Corey had a great time wake-boarding and skiing while Aubrey and I watched from the boat and hung out on the beach. Just about everyone in the Cox family came (except Grandma - she was at home with little Canon). We haven't all gone to Lake Powell like that in years so it was pretty special. 
Aubrey is a fish. She loves to swim. That's all she's wanted to do since we got back from Lake Powell. She had a blast playing in the water with her cousins.  
Here we all sit on the beach. Something is missing - maybe the canopy? The wind was blowing so hard that we were afraid the canopy was going to break again. (We had to get a new canopy because the one we brought broke on our first day at the beach.) So we ate lunch under the frame. Kind of funny.
Aubrey is grandpa Cox's biggest fan. She loved watching grandpa drive the boat and even got to sit on his lap while he drove. Ever since then, she thinks grandpa is pretty cool.
    
Mckae and I made face paint (yes, homemade - from scratch) and the kids had a great time painting their faces. It was so fun! Even uncle Jeff joined the fun. We were a little worried because it didn't look like the face paint was going to come off. Luckily it came off before church on Sunday.

-K- So I am really behind when it comes to updating the blog. Aubrey and I went to Lagoon with my family about two weeks ago. Poor Corey had to work, so he missed out on some good times. Aubrey and I went to the water park and then Aubrey enjoyed some of the rides. Her most favorite was the boats. Iven rode with her the first time and showed her how to ring the bell. They were so cute together! I have a picture of Aubrey on the merry-go-round - she did not like that ride at all. You can kind of tell from the picture she's not really enjoying herself. Overall, we had a really great time!
