Moooooooo Cows

Our neighbors down the street have some cows and they were right by the fence the other day. This was my first time to see a real cow up close and personal. There was a baby calf that just starred at me and wouldn't move. I wasn't scared of them at all!

My Summer Tan

If you look back at the pictures in March, April and May, you will notice how pastey white I was. I have come a long way... The only pastey white thing on my body now is my booty! I have enjoyed swimming at Aunt Dawn's, our neighbors The Pickles, or just playing in the sprinkler in our own yard.

Batter, Batter, Batter, SWING!!

I love to go outside and play, especially in the dirt!!! I even tried to eat some dirt! I try to go to the water faucets and turn them on, but apparently I am not strong enough yet. Mom and Dad keep trying to teach me how to swing instead of the chopping motion I do. Have patience Parents- I am only 17 months old!


Cox Cousins in Town












Aunt Whitney had to work last weekend, so Uncle Rusty brought the kids to visit Grandma and Big Daddy ( and to visit me too). We had a great time getting all of their toys out and making a mess. I learned how to say "car' from Paxton- Thanks! Mackey was crawling and enjoyed the Curious George -in-the-box that I have. Big Daddy tried to pull us around in the trailer, but we really weren't too sure about it. Thanks for all the great meals Grandma- you really know how to fatten us up!!!!

Fun Day at Splash Kingdom Waterpark

Here's a picture of me and my cousin Colby ( 1 year older than me). We are waiting on Aunt Dawn and the girls to get here so we can go have some fun in the sun!!


The park doesn't open until 11 am and I normally take a nap after lunch, so needless to say, I was out for a little while. This is my cousin Haley. She took me on a bunch of slides. She will be a great babysitter one day. We are ready for her to get older and learn to drive so Mommy and Daddy can go out on some dates ALONE!!!!!
































There were two different parks for little kids and Colby and I enjoyed them both. One was mostly slides and the other one had a lot of fountains. I finally learned how to sit up when sliding. I used to lean way back and end up bumping my head everytime.

Bye Bye Ava

















Mom and I were excited to have Ava Joy spend the day with us while her mom and dad loaded the moving van. We are so happy for the Ford family as they move into their new home and get to use a dishwasher! !! Ha ha! She was such a good girl and I enjoyed giving her kisses about every 10 minutes. Here is 4 months compared to 16 months. They grow soooooo fast!

Potential as a future Plumber

I may just grow up and be a plumber. I like to play under the kitchen sink, I like to play in water (bath and toilet), and I don't mind showing my booty to the world. Mom couldn't resist this picture.

Play Date with Avery












Well, maybe it was an actual
date considering we are
making out. Avery is about
3 weeks older than me-
AN OLDER WOMAN!
My dad married an older
woman, so I am all good! We
had a lot of fun playing in the
car, listening to music in my
room, and starring at the dogs
outside. I wish Tulsa wasn't
so far away!


Learning about the Lawnmower


I love to get on the lawnmower, especially whenever I get into or out of the car. I run and climb up on it and start driving. I went around a few times with Daddy on this day and then I noticed some toys in Big Daddy and Grandma's garage. Dad and Mom have to call them and ask them to shut their garage door before we come over, or else we will never make through the door. I am learning new things everyday. I can say "fish", "spoon", "ball", "shoes", "dog" , "sit" (which sounds like he is cussing, if you know what I mean) and some others. When asked how old I am, I will MOST of the time show you the number 1. I am almost 17 months old and I am actually slimming down a bit. I still have big cheeks and big legs, but I have lost some of my baby fat.

Yes, we got ANOTHER dog ( end of July)


We bought a Puggle, a mix of Pug and Beagle. He is really cute, but he was getting on momma's nerves because he was pooping and peeing in our new house. She forgot what raising a puppy was like. His name is Tobey and he is about 4 months old. He and Max (Pug) play well together- they chase each other and bite each other (I guess that is playing). I like to spend time drinking out of their water bowls.

I LOVE TO EAT!!!!!!! (July)

















The first picture is a little scary, I know! Mom let me have an Oreo cookie and decided a bib would be necessary. I am starting to feed myself. I really like to use a fork, but I can only say "spoo" for spoon. In the bottom picture, I just got finished eating spaghetti. What a mess I can make!!!!

Going Away Party for the Ford Family



We are sure going to miss Brandon, Melissa, and Ava. Ava is about 4 months here. We are excited for them as they make a big transition from little Liberty City to big Fort Worth. We all gathered at the Crouch's for a little going away BBQ. They aren't leaving just yet... so I can still spend some more time giving her kisses. I also got to spend some QUALITY time playing and kissing an old friend, Avery, who was in town from Oklahoma. We had a blast playing in all of the sprinklers at the Crouch house and running around the pool.


A New Friend

This is Cade and he is about 5 months older than me. His mom and my mom went to high school together and cheered together. We are excited that they will be moving back to the East Texas area in a year- I will have a friend to play with since Ava is leaving me. We had a great time playing ball and our moms had fun just "catching up." Cade, be a good boy so Daddy can finish dental school!!! AND WE ARE BOTH AGGIES! WHOOP!!!

Vacation- Navarre Beach, Florida (June)


On the way to Florida, I would eat and then watch SpongeBob and then sleep and then eat some more. Mom and Dad pretty much can't stand to hear another thing from Spongebob Squarepants. It takes about 11 hours, but we split it up into 2 days due to me!!!!




This is what Navarre Beach looks like... and boy was I ready to get out of the car and run around. Grandma and Grandpa rode with the Poe family, so we didn't have to drive three cars to Florida. We had a 3 bedroom/ 3 bath condo on the 10th floor. I talked to them alot on the walkie talkies we had.











I wasn't very fond of the floaties. I would much rather be climbing up and down the stairs to the pool or playing at the faucet with a new girlfriend I found.















We played a lot at the pool and even went crabbing at night !


























I enjoyed spending time with my cousins Megan and Haley.
My most favorite thing was playing in the water from the faucet by the pool.



I loved going out on the balcony with everyone! (Don't worry!! My big head/body couldn't fit through the bars!)

One of my girlfriends!!!

I love this girl! This is Ava Joy. Her parents and my parents are good friends. I always look for her in her carseat whenever her parents are around. I love to give her kisses !!! I always look at her picture on the refrigerator! We are sure going to miss them when they move to Fort Worth.

Happy Birthday Paxton (June 2007)

We went to Paxton's 2nd birthday party! We had a lot of fun playing in the water, sliding into the water, and just splashing around! Aren't our little sailors cute?

(Aunt Whitney and Paxton)

We miss you Jonathan and Jenna!!! (June )

We went to visit our friends Jonathan and Jenna who just opened a My Gym in Colleyville. It was sooooo much fun. I got to go down a zip line, play in a ball pit, jump on a trampoline, and much more. Thanks for letting us come play! We just wish we lived closer!!!!

Summer is finally here!!! (Early June)


I LOVE TO PLAY IN WATER!!! Mommy is trying to get me ready for the beach- but I am ready to go Mom! She bought a little Wal-mart plastic pool for me to play in!!! Momma, Daddy, and I all got into the little pool and I think we saw some of our neighbors laughing!

I have some great neighbors!! ( April)

For those of you who do not know, my grandparents are my neighbors. When I get out of the car in the garage, I love to run down the sidewalk toward Big Daddy and Grandma Cox. They have a swing in the backyard that I always run to everytime I visit.


Just like Daddy (April )


I love to brush my teeth and play with the water from the faucet. I also enjoy waking Daddy up on Saturday mornings!!!

T-R-O-U-B-L-E is my name (April)


For some reason, I find toilet paper very interesting. I got out of mom and dad's sight for a few minutes and managed to unroll most of the roll of toilet paper.
