Road Rage!!!!

I really can't stand the way some people drive! It totally drives me nuts! Don't get me wrong I am used to snowbirds driving slow looking at the beautiful beaches, but hello there are not any beaches here!!! So, why do people not drive the speed limit? Or better yet, they don't drive the speed limit, but when it becomes double lanes on 17 where you can pass them they decide to speed up to 70 mph! Are you kidding me!? What is wrong with people up here in the north? They talk funny (I know y'all are probably saying the same thing about me :-)), it smells like poop, and they can't drive. Ugh! If it wasn't for Bryce's family, I would so be ready to move some where else. Thanks for listening! Hope I didn't offend anyone to much!

P.S. On another note, just wanted to let Aunt Debbi and Andy know that we are thinking about them and hope that all goes well with the heart catheterization and that Andy gets good news. Let us know if you need us for anything.

Lunch with Cara

Callie

So, after several times of being asked by Cara to go to lunch with her, I finally had the opportunity to go with her today. I was able to see her classroom, meet some of her friends, and walk around outside during recess. And can I just say it was COLD!! So, I think that Warden should build an indoor play area for kids during the winter time. No wonder kids are sick all the time. Anyway, I had a good time and I hope Cara did too.

Thanksgiving Pics

Thanksgiving Cox Style

Well, happy late Thanksgiving to everyone that I did not get a chance to say it to. The whole Cox family gathered at Uncle Rich and Aunt Lyn's house this year. I believe there were close to 60 people there. I knew that Bryce had a big family, but 60 people?! And that doesn't even include everyone that lives out of state, as well as, some of the cousins and their families who live near us who were not able to come. So, the food was great and the company was even better! I took some random pics so I unfortunately did not get a picture of everyone who was there. It was really nice to see TJ, Mischa, and Emery. I can't believe that Emery is almost a year old already! Ms. McKenzie (Michael and Rachael's daughter) lost her very first tooth yesterday! So, I hope the tooth fairy was good to her! In one of the pictures you will see Hallie pulling Cooper around in wagon. It was the funniest thing to me because Cooper weighs so much more than Hallie. I asked her if he was heavy and she said no. It was really cute! And of course, this was Sara's first Thanksgiving. And she enjoyed sleeping and rolling around on the floor. So, as the holidays have begun I have given a lot of thought as to what I am thankful for and the list is long of course. But, I am truly thankful for Bryce and the wonderful husband and father that he is. I am thankful for my children and that they are healthy and happy. I am thankful to have the gospel in my life. I am very thankful for my family, especially my mom and my grandmother. I am also thankful for Bryce's family for the support and love they have shown me. There are numerous other things that I am thankful for, but too many to list. I hope that each of us takes a moment every day to think about all the things in our lives that we have to be thankful for. I also hope that we all remember as Christmas nears, what we are really celebrating. This is the best time for us as Christians to show what the true meaning of Christmas is.

Twilight

So, as many of y'all know, I love to read. It has always been hard for me to see a movie after I read the book because the movie is usually never as good as the book. The only exception so far has been the Harry Potter movies. They are awesome! So, a group of us went to see the long awaited Twilight. Now, I loved, loved the books. But, I kind of knew that I shouldn't get my hopes up. So, onto the movie. I honestly have to say that during the first part of the movie I was ready to get up and walk out. In my opinion, the movie started out slow. Also, in the first part of the movie I felt like they didn't really stick to the book too much and that drives me crazy!!! Now, onto the Cullens. When I first saw them, it was so obvious that they were vampires because their faces were so WHITE! I think the worst part about seeing a movie after you read the book is you have already decided in your mind about what the characters look like and then when you actually "see" them it kind of disappoints you. Well, that was me last night. Especially with Jasper. He was just weird! The second half was much better. It followed the book better and wasn't as slow as the beginning. I loved how they left it open for another movie. So, all in all, an OK movie and it has definitely made me want to reread my Harry Potter books before the new movie comes out!
