Food and Family

We had four generations on both the Cox and Hutchings side of the family. It was really neat.

Cousin Tate and Ava were the only cousins who would hold still long enough to take pictures. The others were too busy playing!

Bret and the Rubicks Cube

Bret wanted to be a part of the blog so he showed off his Rubicks cube talents so I could post something about him. He really is great at it and can do it pretty fast. He was trying to teach Kris how to do it and now I am on a mission to find him a cube of his own. Good work B-man!

Ky's Soccer

Well Kyra had her first two soccer games last week! When we first asked her if she wanted to play soccer she said "mom, I already told you I want to be a ballerina!" So when I exlained that there were no dance classes right now and that soccer would not interfere with her ballerina carreer, then she was excited about it. The first one was really fun and funny to watch! I was so proud of Kyra for getting out there and trying! She went right out when it was her turn-well as long as Halle was with her! Kyra and Halle were more interested in eachother than the ball but they did run around in the general direction of the ball and the rest of the herd. When they were on the sidelines they would make up cheers like "kick that ball, kick that ball." They had a great time and Kyra loves practicing in the back yard with her pink ball. She is actually really good when she plays in the back! It is cute!

Boise Roadtrip

This weekend we went on a little roadtrip to visit aunt Chaly and uncle Cam in Boise, ID. We did lots of fun things together. When we first got there we went to chaly and Cam's new apartment and Chaly had made yummy spaghetti dinner for us. We played the WII, the girls played on the love sac and we blew bubbles outside.
Can you tell the girls were excited to see Cam?!
The girls were eager to check into the hotel because they love staying at hotels! They love unplugging the phones in the room and playing house with them and the mini fridge. They also love to jump on the beds because they don't get to do that at home.
Bree's burping face! Her cheeks look so cute like this!

Bree's surprised look!
Bree was practicing her "tummy time"!

HANGING OUT AT CHALY'S AND CAM'S APARTMENT

The girls spent their time at Chaly's apartment shooting things with Cam's guns..........
........... and having tea parties with chaly's cute tea sets! They had fun with Cam's toys and Chaly's toys! Friday night Kyra and Adrie had a sleepover at Chaly and Cam's!

OLD FRIENDS

We also got to catch up with old friends! Boise has old memories for us because we lived there for a few years so it was fun to go back and reminisce a little. We went to Mike and Jamie's house where we met their little girl, Delaney (in her "soft dress"), and we got to catch up on old times with them. Delaney and the girls played great together and they loved the walk over to the park behind her house. It was so fun to see Mike, Jamie and Delaney after so long!

CHALY'S RACE

The main reason or excuse for going to Boise was to watch Chaly run! She ran the 1500m and she did a great job! She really wanted me to put her picture on my blog because she loves her "bummies". It was fun to see her run on her home field.

Ann and Troy came to the race with their kids too. The girls thought it was great to get to see some cousins again. Brody, Adrie, Nyah, Kyra, and Bailey

Kyra cheering Chaly on from the sidelines!

Cam was basically a kid magnet all weekend! He didn't even have enough of him to go around so Adrie can't be seen because she was holding on to his back on the other side because that's all the space she could find. What a good sport Cam is!


BREE'S BIG GIRL OUTFIT!

Bree was sporting some jeans for the first time and boy did she look adorable! She is smiling so cute now!

Here is Bree watching her crazy older sisters in the swimming pool!

She was so interested in the swimming it put her right to sleep!

Adrie loves to be "nake nake"! She always asks if she can be "nake nake for a yittle while." So it was no surprise that when we were getting ready to go swimming she ran around "nake nake" testing out the floaties!

Kyra wanted to wear her visor just like uncle Cam!

THE POOL

swimming at the hotel is always a favorite! The girls swam for hours!

On saturday after we went swimming we got KFC or "chicken on a bone" as the girls call it, and we went to a park for a picnic. The weather was beautiful and we had lots of fun on the playground!

Bree was so sound asleep in her stroller that we didn't wake her for the picture at the park.

Saturday was also Cam's birthday so we went out to Ann and Troy's for a barbeque and cake to celebrate. Bree and Riley were content laying on the floor together while the rest of the kids ran wild.

Kyra and Adrie wanted Cam to sit by them on the way home from Ann and Troy's and he agreed even though he could barely fit! He sat between them and sang songs all the way home!
One last picture of the sisters before we had to say goodbye! It was so fun to spend time with Chaly and Cam and make a trip out of it! We miss them!

Bree is Oxygen Free!!

Bree is off her oxygen! Hooray! We are so excited and relieved to have passed that obstacle. She is doing so great! She is growing and gaining weight and she sleeps like a champ at night. She will sleep for 10 or more hours. We were hoping it wasn't related to the oxygen but since she got rid of that she hasn't skipped a beat sleeping.
The girls love telling people how she doesn't need her oxygen anymore. When I came home from the doctor that day I told Adrie that her prayers must have helped Bree (because the girls have prayed for her to get off her oxygen every prayer they have said since she was born) and she said "yeah cause I love her!" The are so sweet with her!

We love Bree's tongue action! She is great at this move!

She seems so happy to have those things off her face and out of her nose and be able to smile easier! What a great smile!
