2009-11-07T19:53:00.000-08:00

My girls supported the super hero chick's this Halloween . It's so funny how they can go from high school musical to super hero's. So many parties at school ,and trunk or treat at church we had a busy Halloween .. But it's worth it all for the candy.

Jennah as Spider Girl!!

Jaiden as Super Girl!

Girls Night Out!

THE GIRLS!

A couple of friends and I went to see Sugar land and Keith Urbans World Tour. It was great! We've seen Sugarland 3 times but not Keith Urban wow he put on a great show . Of course he's cute to look at to. We had dinner at Calhoun's on the river , then went up in the

big gold ball as Jennah and Jaiden say: THE SUN SPHERE.

Just a little of Jennifer Nettles!

Just a little Keith

Thanks girls for a great night . I don't think I will ever forget those train tracks.

Oakes Daylily Festival

2009-07-18T20:31:00.000-07:00

On one of the hottest day of this summer a couple of us went to the Oakes Daylily Festival. If you like Daylilys you've got to go, it's something to see. I had ordered out of their catalogs before but never been to the festival it's so pretty, I took a couple of pics of some of my favorite lily's.

Name:Creative Edge $40.00 a plant

Name: Lake Norman Spider $ 30.00 a plant

Name: Fooled Me $50.00 a plant

Name: Dragon's Eye $25.00 a plant

I thought the festival would be a great place to take pics of the girls outside.. I thought they turned out GREAT...SWEAT AND ALL....!!!

Here's the girls with my niece Caidee she was such a trooper in the HOTness.

The girls was just walking down the paths of daylilys and I just started snapping pics . I think this one turned out neat..

Jimmy's Mamaw Katie, & Aunt Robbie went with us along with my sister-in-law Linda, & my niece Caidee. We are going to make this a yearly event. For every person who comes gets a free daylily & free refreshments. They also have a kids area , a sandbox, jumping gyms, paint makers. Of course we didn't leave empty handed they were having a Daylily sale, I myself bought 3 kinds, then Mamaw Katie bought us girls one.

The Daylily Festival is usually in late JUNE OR EARLY JULY!

Ms. Jimmie's always has a annual spelling bee for her class. Jaiden came in 3rd place, she received money and a bobble headed bee. We are so proud of her our little busy bee.

WOW! I never knew that I would be so nervous for her Jennah tried out for SCES School cheerleader . Here's a couple of her friends that were trying out too. This picture was before her name was called to tryout. She wasn't nervous at all. But her Mommy sure was.

She was being called UP to go next ! LOOK AT THAT STARE .

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Mothers Day ! Hope your day is very special . And throughout the day just remember that GOD gave you an incredible gift.

There is no influence so powerful as that of the MOTHER.

There is no velvet so soft as a mother's lap...

no rose so sweet as a mother's cheek...

no music so charming as a mother's voice.

Happy Mothers Day !

2009-05-09T19:36:00.001-07:00

Just wanted to say Thanks MOM for all you do.

It seems as if we've always been close... and, as I get older, I find myself

treasuring that closeness more and more..

It's nice having someone who knows and understands me, someone with whom

I can always be myself..

You may not know it, but your support and faith in me have pulled me through

more times than I can count...

Know how much you mean to us ,NANA?

Let's just say ALOT doesn't even come close!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY NANNIE!

I don't know what I'd do without you in my life.
You're a WONDERFUL MOTHER , NANA, & BEST FRIEND.

ALL THAT I AM OR HOPE TO BE,
I OWE TO MY MOTHER.

My niece Caidee had her 1st B-Day this past week. WOW! How times flies buy. She's not completely walking yet, but she takes about 4 or 5 steps then sets down. Why walk when Jennah and Jaiden carry you everywhere.

Is this a BIG FLOWER OR WHAT!

She's such a happy baby!

She was so neat eating her cake,she didn't even get it in her hair. Her big brothers had to help her dig in and take a big handful.

Hot Shots Big Kick Off !

2009-04-23T18:23:00.000-07:00

Wow ! What a great kick off to our season my softball team had this past weekend . We had our 1st tournament as a new team. My girls have not played in this league before, some have played for me for the past 2 years in co-ed t-ball. But what can I say WE ROCK!! We still need some practice but I think this team is the BEST yet.

We caused a major upset for these trophies. But hey that's why were the HOT SHOTS!

3 RD PLACE!!

ONE... TWO... THREE... HOT SHOTS !!

Here's Jennah getting her trophy, she done a great job at 2nd base.

Jaiden of course loves it. She done a great job as pitcher.

Taking a little break in between games .

Jaiden at bat !

Jennah on-deck !

I would like to Thank all my parents and kids for hanging out all weekend for our games. I know its not easy spending all your time at the ballpark . Some of my best memories playing softball are at the park where my team plays.

ALSO A SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR TOLLIVER'S MARKET & DELI MARATHON.

HANNAH MONTANA CRAZY !

2009-04-14T20:02:00.000-07:00

On Friday Jimmy and I took the girls to see the Hannah Montana. It is a great family movie if you have daughters its a must see. I went on line to buy them on Thursday so we wouldn't have to stand in long lines ( Jimmy appreciated that ) . We got there about 15 minutes before it started and got great seats . On line is the BOMB ! So we heard that her dad and her showed up at the 12:00 movie in west knoxville. I think that's great but I'M glad that we didn't get in all that mess.

This is Ella one of girls friends we ran into her and her dad at pete's while eating lunch . She cried to go with us so they tagged along. They had so much fun singing, dancing, and laughing .

WE LOVE HANNAH MONTANA ( AKA MILEY CYRUS ) !

HAPPY EASTER !

2009-04-14T18:33:00.000-07:00

Here's a couple of pics ( I mean alot ) from our Easter weekend. Saturday was a little cold and rainy for our church egg hunt but we had it anyway at the school playground. I love this picture of Jaiden she was so ready to get down in the mudd to hunt eggs.

OK ! Jennah not so thrilled . She actually fell down trying to get the prize egg.

Look who showed up ! The Easter Bunny

Here's a few pics we took after church. WOW ! It is so hard to get this many kids to look and smile all at the same time.

( Jennah holding Caidee, Connor, Jaiden, Carson, & Carter in front row)

While I was taking pics of Linda and Aaron the kids just took of playing. I turned around and just kept snapping the pics look how sweet this is .

THE COX'S

Does anybody have any pointers on how to get Jaiden to smile regular.

Jaiden didn't even no I was taking her picture.

Jennah of course figured me out . Is this drama or what ?

Jennah after she fell down again, lets just say she beat the little boy to the other prize egg.
( look how muddy her hands are)

Jaiden of course wanted find all the colored eggs , they had gotten rained on . SO.. SO.. messy all the dye was coming off. But hey who cares its Easter.

Jennah and Jaiden had to recite this poem on Thursday for Easter. They both made an( A++) we got together a few props to use so I guess they worked. They were the only 2 to make A++.

EASTER BUNNY

Easter Bunny's ears are flopping;

Easter Bunny's feet are hopping;

Nose is soft and fur is fluffy;

Tail is short and powder puffy.

To Everything there is a Season.

2009-04-12T21:39:00.000-07:00

And time to every purpose under heaven.

A time to be born, a time to let go; A time to plant,

A time to harvest; A time to weep, a time to laugh;

A time to heal, a time to dance; A time to keep, a time to cast away;

A time to Love & a time of PEACE - Ecclesiastes 3:18

JUST LIKE A FLOWER :

The LORD will guide you continually,watering your life when you are dry and

keeping you healthy,too. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.

Will You Be My Valentine ?

2009-02-14T16:40:00.000-08:00

We would like to introduce to you our VALENTINE this year. This Valentine Jennah and Jaiden's baby calf that was born about 2 weeks ago. When Jimmy came home from work he found her frozen to the ground she was born on the coldest day this year. He had to carry her inside to his MOM and Dad's kitchen floor to try to warm her up ! Her hooves and left leg were so frozen that she couldn't even stand up . With lots of blankets and lots of love she finally got warmed up. Jimmy wanted to name her BLACK ICE, BUT YOU CAN SEE HE LOST. SHE'S OUR VALENTINE!!

When the Girls and I got there to see her she was trying to stand up but she couldn't .

THEY LOVE VALENTINE !!!!!

Jimmy and his dad had feed her brown sugar water and some eggs in a glass coke bottle because she wasn't strong enough to stand and suck.

THIS IS OUR VET TEAM ! They will do what ever it takes to save our calf's life. Jennah and Jaiden COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT A CALF WAS IN THE HOUSE. THEY WHERE SO EXCITED !!!

WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE ?

I'LL CUT RED PAPER INTO A HEART.

I'LL PASTE LACE ON THE OUTSIDE PART.

I'LL GIVE IT TO A FRIEND OF MINE.

WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE ?

THE GIRLS HAD TO RECITE THIS POEM AT SCHOOL THIS WEEK.

HOPE YOU ENJOY.

PLEASE PRAY FOR JIMMY

2009-02-08T06:09:00.000-08:00

Jimmy was playing in a ball tournament with our Church team yesterday . Some churches around us got together to help raise some money for the RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE ! We had a great turn out. Jimmy got hurt in the 2ND game yesterday he went up for an offensive

rebound and his knee made a loud ( POP ) . He of course was done. People in the stands heard his leg POP. So we went to the urgent care clinic they told it could be his A.C.L OR TORN CARTILAGE . We will know more on Monday or Tuesday when we see K.O.C . He had a ruff night last night . But he's hope's for good news this week.

He's such a trooper Jennah and Jaiden's last game was yesterday . I tried to make him go to the hospital as soon as it happened but that was out of the question. He would not miss their last game for nothing in the world.

WE LOVE YOU DADDY !! HE'S THE BEST HUSBAND AND FATHER I KNOW !

The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful
RESULTS.

JAMES 5:16

Last Game Of The Season.

2009-02-07T20:15:00.001-08:00

Today ended the girls last game they played a great game. Jennah scored 4 points, and Jaiden scored 9 points. They both played awesome defense. Jaiden ran point guard alot today she made some great passes. OUR team done great this year we had

a great season.

WAY TO GO HORNETS !!

Snow Day !

2009-02-07T17:48:00.000-08:00

We sooooo glad it finally snowed the girls didn't go to school all week. I can't remember that I ever got to sled like this. This is the new and improved way. Lets just say we put Jimmy's new 4-wheeler to good use.

This Jennah with our snow-girl HANNAH MONTANA -aka MILEY

Cody just followed use around because we gave him some carrots that we didn't use for our snow-girl.

I love this picture of Jimmy & the girls with one of our ponds in the background.

Here's the finished snow-girl.

See what I mean this is just to easy. The girls had a blast I think it was just as much fun for ME and JIMMY too.

COCOA followed the 4-wheeler the whole time the girls tried to get her to sled but she wasn't haven it . Back when I was little girl if you wanted to sled down a big hill you had walk up it and then sled down when you caught your breath . But as you can see the girls didn't have to experience that . At least not yet anyway.

Jimmy putting the sled back together were the girls took a little trip off the side.

WHAT A GREAT WEEK TO PLAY IN THE SNOW! HOPE EVERYONE HAD AS MUCH FUN AS WE DID.

HORNETS HAVE GOT DOUBLE TROUBLE !!

2009-01-09T06:25:00.000-08:00

Sorry I'm so behind. Well our 2ND game didn't turn out so good we got beat. One of our best players had a stomach virus. . But guess what the hornets have got themselves a new player # 2 JENNAH COX . Jennah practiced with them all of last year but never played until now. Our third game we won Jennah done GREAT! She can play some serious defense. Although she needs a little work on dribbling but I no she can do it. Jaiden also played a great game she scored 3 points. And she hit all of her foul shots. We play again on Saturday . GO BIG RED !

JENNAH WITH A REBOUND

JENNAH SHOOTING HER FOUL SHOT

JENNAH IS ON LEFT, JAIDEN IN THE MIDDLE AND BRYSON ON THE RIGHT . AND YES !THEY ARE LOOKING IN THE CROWD INSTEAD OF PAYING ATTENTION.

JAIDEN RUNNING POINT GUARD. SHE DOES SO GOOD HANDLING THE BALL. SHE MADE COUPLE OF BAD PASSES, BUT HEY SHE'S ONLY 6 .

I'M SO THANKFUL & BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO WATCH BOTH OF MY GIRLS PLAY BALL TOGETHER. AND TO WATCH THEM HAVE SO MUCH FUN !

2008-12-18T21:22:00.000-08:00

WHAT A JUMP SHOT SHE HAS !!!!

DADDY'S DRIBBLE DRILL !!

Her 1st game of the season ,she was so nervous. She played against one of her good friends. We played a great game. Jaiden played one of the best defensive games I've seen for a five year old. She also scored 3 points should have been 4 but she missed her foul shot . We play a really good team this Saturday. """" EVERYONE PLEASE WISH US LUCK """""

THIS WAS THE FINAL SCORE !! STAY TUNED FOR MORE HORNET ACTION !!

WAY TO GO HORNET'S !! GREAT GAME !! BIG WIN !!

MOM, DAD AND JENNAH ARE SO PROUD OF HER !!!

Christmas Fun Getaway

2008-12-08T19:58:00.000-08:00

Here'a few pics from our weekend trip to Dollywood to see some shows and the lights. It was Me,Mom,Jennah, Jaiden, Linda, Robin and all four of Linda's kids. Well let's just say that after 10 or so bathroom stops we only got to see one show. The kids love to see the parade go by . Here's a few pics from our trip. Christmas is my favorite time at Dollywood all the decorations are beautiful. We all stayed two nights in pigeon forge, of course we had a hotel with an indoor pool. The kids went swimming first thing the morning then back again later until 11:00 pm closing time. Needless to say they slept well.

{ Warm and Fuzzy }

Not real sure of Andy!
{Connor,Carson,Jaiden & Jennah}

Pics from the show!

A big cannon went off in this scene and scared the girls half to death!! You can see some of it's smoke.

SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG !!!

On our way home of course Me,Mom, and the girls hit the outlets for some shopping time. We had a great weekend. I'm so glad I talked Mom in to getting away for the weekend.

ABC'S of The First Thanksgiving

2008-11-26T20:46:00.000-08:00

Jennah and Jaiden's class along with the other kindergarten class put together a Thanksgiving play to perform for the whole school. I learned a little more about Thanksgiving myself. All the props,hats and stuff they made in class. Their teacher Ms. Jimmie is very talented.

Jaiden's part was ( N is for NO ONE ) By November, there was plenty to eat. No one would be hungry this winter. She done a great job. She didn't really dig the hat.

Jennah's part was ( O IS FOR ONE ) One day, Governor Bradford said, " We should be thankful for our harvest." She performed just like a movie star. Of course she loved the hat.

" LOOKS A LITTLE NERVOUS"

Jaiden didn't miss a word !

Jennah didn't either !

And yes ! They asked me to the Narrator.

It became an official holiday in 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln, said to set aside the last Thursday in November to give thanks. In 1941, Congress made Thanksgiving an annual national holiday to be celebrated on the 4th Thursday on November.

IT'S TIME FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO GIVE THANKS TOGETHER, EAT LOTS OF GOOD FOOD, WATCH PARADES AND FOOTBALL GAMES. IT'S ALSO THE START OF THE WINTER HOLIDAY SEASON !! HAPPY SHOPPING !!!

EACH AND EVERYDAY GIVE THANKS !!!!

CHAPEE IS BACK !

2008-11-26T20:19:00.000-08:00

Chapee performed both nights in the tournament games. I had a blast !! Kids from the other schools loved coming up to me for a hug and some high fives. I don't have the video footage yet . My best friend Holly taped it for me, so as soon as I get it I will post. Here's a few pics from the first night of tournament .

Introducing CHAPEE ! They call out each kids name on the ball team. I walk out and give them high fives. It was so hot in the gym that night. I sit on the side lines during time outs with my head off just so I could get some fresh air .

MEET CHAPEE !

2008-11-12T18:30:00.000-08:00

I would like to introduce myself. I'm Chapee( aka: Melissa Cox ) the mascot for Sharps Chapel Elem School. The P.T.O. had a fall carnival this past weekend to raise money for the school. Bryan Shoffner the Principal (aka: one of Jimmy's best friends ) ask me to dress up so the kids could have their pictures made. And guess who has a new job. I will be preforming in tomorrow nights game against Luttrell. And next week in the county tournament . I will be dancing with the cheerleaders to Michael Jackson's Beat It. Hope and Pray that I don't screw up. Surely all the cheering I've done in my younger days will pay off.

Jennah and Jaiden had no idea that it was me under the costume. I had to make them get this picture made with me.

This is Edward Berry a great friend of ours, and also my pretend husband two years in a row in our Christmas play at church. As you can see Jimmy helped in the Haunted Forrest. I think the Men had more fun than the kids scaring people.

Ms. Jimmie had the fishing game in her room.

The famous Jail.

Stay tuned for more Chapee in the next couple of weeks. I'm very blessed with a job that allows me to be off to be with my kids, and help volunteer at their school. We live in a great community. I thank GOD everyday that my kids go to a great school.

DISNEY ON ICE!

2008-11-08T08:14:00.000-08:00

We Are Starting To Build More Fences On Our New Land. So We Don't Have To Feed Hay Yet. That's Jaiden In Orange She Takes Every Step Her Daddy Takes. She's Pretty Good With A Drill Believe It Or Not !

As Long As Jennah Can Take Along Her Pocket Book, She Can Or Will Do Anything .

Jaiden Tried Her Hardest To Carry More Than One Tree At A Time.

Look Who Comes To Share Her Load.

Just One More Animal Is All We Need !

Growing Up Country Girls !

2008-09-29T21:25:00.000-07:00

"Farm life to me is attractive,"she says, " because on the farm one has the freedom that cannot be gained anywhere else in the world. One learns the habits of birds and animals and comes in touch with nature and hence with the Creator himself. " Author Unknown. " Memories of an Early Girlhood "

It's time for Sassy to realize she's a Cow and not a Human.

Although she still gets one bottle a day. She's eating more feed.

And yes! THEY REALLY DO THIS .
" THIS IS JAIDEN'S STATEMENT ON HER SHIRT, LOOK VERY CLOSELY BECAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH."

OUR SASSY ! She's a big girl now. She jumped threw the fence the first time we let her go. So she's came a long way. She ran into the electric fence a couple of times after us but, she is doing great staying in the field.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart. colossians3:23
Whatever I do, I will give it my best, And then I'll trust God to take care of the rest.

THERE'S A NEW BULL IN TOWN !

2008-09-20T21:54:00.000-07:00

MEET CLIFF ! He's our new bull weighing in at 1,000 pounds give or take. We had to sell our old bull Buck, he had been around for 4yrs . He weighed in at 1,750 pounds the day we sold him. We hope to see Cliff get that big . The skint marks you see on him, he got by getting into a calf feeder. Of course he was somewhere he didn't belong.

If your wondering why his name his Cliff, it's because we bought him off of a guy named ( CLIFF ENGLAND ) . We don't always do that, the girls just liked the name cliff.

KICKBALL FUN !

2008-09-20T20:22:00.000-07:00
