Zander's 1st wrestling tounament
Zander started Kid's Federation Wrestling this year and today was his first tournament. The day started way too early at 5:30am with an 90 min drive to Beliot. Zander was the only one in his weight class of 37lbs so he wrestled the next weight class up which was 40lbs. He did a pretty good job!
Congrats Zander Cox on 4th place at the Beloit Tournament. You did awesome!!!
He cracks me up. After the first match he said to me. "I was the green color. I wanted to be red" and after the day was over and he received his medal he said "mom, were you worried I wasn't going to get a trophy or a medal?" I said "no, I knew you did good I wasn't worried" Then he said. "Next time I'm going to get a trophy!"

I can't believe they are 5!!!!!
Zoe and Zander turned 5 this year. WOW, I can't believe it's been 5 years. We had Rob's family over for cake and ice cream. Ashton didn't understand why it wasn't his birthday too. Happy Birthday Zoe and Zander! You two are so special and I love that you think when you grow up you're going to marry each other! lol. I hope in years to come you stay best friends.
Happy Birthday to our beautiful girl
Anika turned 9 years old this year. For her birthday I took her and three friends rollerskating. This was Anika's first time at the rink and she was a pro! Afterwords we went out to lunch and somehow the girls talked me into taking them to the mall. Some of those girls can really shop! On the way back the girls were laughing and talking and I heard one of them say.."this is the best day ever!" A smile came over my face, maybe I am a cool mom after all!
Have a smurf'n halloween!
I was so excited to take the kids out this year, because I LOVE the smurfs!!! The blue faces took a couple some hard scubbing to get completely off, but I think the kids had fun. We tried to get Anika to be Gargamel, but she found this pink sparkly outfit and even though we tried to bribe her, she wasn't going to change her mind. I think she looks pretty cute!

K-state volley ball
We love taking the kids to K-state volleyball games. They love getting to see Willey the Wildcat......even Rob got his picture with Willy.
K-State kids!
I love Zoe's smile... :)
The kids love going to the football games! Their favorite part is giving the players high-fives as they go on and off the field. This was Zoe's first game.

mutton bustin
Zoe and Zander entered the mutton bustin contest at the fair. To see their videos, check out face book. Here are a couple pics of them after their ride. They are pretty excited to get a "real cowboy hat" Ashton chicked out and wouldn't ride the little lamb, so he got a straw hat.....
Summer fun!
Anika 8 and Ashton 3
Zoe and Zander 4
Anika kept busy with swimming lessons. She loves going off the high dive and made dad take pictures of her so she could prove to me that she could do it all by herself!
The kids love climbing trees. What these pictures don't tell you is how scared Zoe and Zander get when it's time to climb down. They hang onto the tree until someone helps them down.
My big, strong, boys!!! Showing off their muscles.
Don't worry, Zoe only cried long enough to get Zander in trouble, then she was just fine.
Zander and Zoe played T-ball this summer. They loved it. We loved watching and laughing as they ran the bases the wrong way, and half the time Zander didn't know what team he was on and would follow the wrong team into their dugout!
Zoe's favorite part was when it was her turn to bat because she got to wear a pink hard hat!
Zoe's a little upset in this picture because the girl in front of her picked the pink hat.
June was the girl's dance recital. Aunt Kristena and Aunt Kallie came all the way from Utah to watch them. Grandma and Granpa Cox and Uncle Matt and Aunt Crystal also came for the big recital! The girls had so much fun and they did such a great job.

Since I started working full time, I haven't kept up on the blog at all, so over the next month or two I'm going to be playing catch up. School started for everyone! 
Zander, Zoe, and Ashton are all in head start this year in the same class. Ashton had a rough first day. He came home and told me cried. I asked Zander and Zoe if they played with Ashton and they both said "NO" Ashton said to me "me going to cry tomorrow too" but he didn't, the second day of school was great for all three!
Anika is in 3rd grade and loves school. Last year the 3rd grade teachers applied for a special grant and were able to purchase Ipads for every third grader, so Anika is having so much fun working on her Ipad at school.
