Nates Hair Is Gone

Nates been growing his hair out for a while now, he gets into these phases where he never wants his hair cut, and it gets pretty long and then all of a sudden one day he wants it cut. Well it's happened again but this time he had to beg me for 2 days before I'd get his hair cut. I loved his long hair, everyone thought he looked like Zack and Cody from a Disney show. So as bad as I didn't want to I gave in and let him, after all it's only hair right? Here's the before and after..

Before his hair cut

After they chopped it

Later that same night Nate was sanding a boat for scouts I looked over to check on him and this is what I see...

At least HE was thinking about being safe and protecting his eyes unlike his MOM.

Cox Family Reunion 08

This last month has been crazy here at the Cox house. We had another reunion the weekend of the 4th, it was great. We went up to Pine Valley for the weekend and it was so nice to get out of the St. George heat. We went fishing at pine valley reservoir and actually caught some fish for once. It was awesome because Nate got to real in his first fish ever!! I wish I would have had the camera with me, he was so excited and that's all he wanted to do the rest of the weekend.

We found a little stream that the kids could play in for a while, but they didn't seem to ever want to get out, (whatever keeps them busy though right?)

Saturday was when all the activities were held, we had a sawdust scramble, races, a pinata(which Nate broke, only confessing latter that he could see through the blind fold), a water balloon fight, fishing, an awesome family dinner, and then an auction latter on that night. It was a very eventful day!!

We had late nights, a mellow fight ( thanks to Aunt Apryl for being a good sport and letting all the kids attack her), to many smores, and a few good stories and jokes told around the campfire.. Here are some of our pictures......

The kids made earrings out of glow sticks

This last weekend Jared had to work in Orderville so we decided to stay in Kanab. I guess the new city pool has just recently opened so I decided to take the kids for the afternoon, we had such a good time we decided to go back for their night swim. We told our dad that all the kids wanted him to go with them, he put up a good fight so my lil sis Cambria told him to put on his "big boy shorts" and stop pouting. That became the joke of the day. Not only did he have to put up with it from us, his own kids but Sidney, my Niece apparently over heard us teasing him because as soon as we got to the pool she told the worker that was helping us that her Grandpa put on his "big boy shorts" and came swimming with her!!! I've never seen my dads face as red as it was then.

Unfortunately the weather turned bad and we ended up having to leave because of lightning, maybe we can talk him into it again next time!!!

Chloe even had a good time

I got this picture right before the lightning started
