Maycember!

May is always up there with December for craziest month of the year!  

Jace and Soph pulled out a couple teeth each - just getting ready for their visit to the ortho!  Sophie is ready for braces, but I'm not, so she'll wait a few months. ;)

Outside lunch at recess is the best! Look at these cute kids dancing and playing!

Kaley's choir concert.  They did UK artists' songs. I loved it!



Same night - Jace's baseball game. Pops went to baseball, Grammie went to choir!



Bella *almost* got her braces off. Oh this was a doozy of a morning. She was expecting to get her braces off, and when Dr. Warren looked at her teeth he said they weren't perfect.  Cue the tears. Bells was devastated! So another 8 week of bands, and then maybe the next time she'll get them off. It was a mess. Her hair also got stuck on Dr. Warren's buttons on his shirt and it pulled it, sending her into another fit of tears. Only to add insult to injury, when her ice cream tipped over onto her cute dress on the car ride home.  So, I gave her a mental health day! She went home, changed clothes and went on a bike ride with Josh. I took her to lunch and shopping, and all was better.  

Handsome haircuts for the boys from Emily.

Bridal Shower for McKinley - one of my YW! And cute Maddy, whom I adore.

Caine's Arcade in 2nd grade - one student had a photo booth, so I grabbed Mrs Moody and we got our pic taken! I just LOVE this pic of the two of us.  Mrs Moody had Thomas in 2nd grade, and we have loved her ever since!

T is sporting his nice mullet - someday he wants to perm it. 



Baseball with the Roaches

T's birthday party at our house. 



Night games.

Kaley's last Shooters season game




Birthday's a Grammie's















Jace was a rover the last month of school - I caught a few candid pics of him doing his job!  I heard he was quite the Rover! He would sing 'Go outsiiiiiiiide'  He's such a funny kid.



Kaley for BOS

Mrs Thomas retirement party. Thomas, Jace and Sophie had her for a 6th grade teacher. We also saw Kaley and Bella's 6th grade teacher there too - Miss Larsen. 

Building shelters for prep for YM camp.

Family baptisms for the dead! We were able to go to the temple as a family for the first time! Everyone is old enough and it was wonderful!

Just the girls watching the boys play Ultimate Frisbee at the park.

Last day of school fun! These kiddos had so much fun on StuCo. This particular end of school flag ceremony was extra tender for me. Last elementary kids, a few favorite teacher leaving or moving on, and a serious end of an era for the Cox Family. 

Sophie and Maddy

Jace and Bryson (with Mrs Hollister photo bombing!)



J helped with the flag, and Soph had a speaking part.







Passing out end of school presents.











And, because the last day of school wasn't exciting enough, this mom scheduled check ups and 7th grade shots! These two were delirious with nervousness for these shots. Soph could not stop giggling. 






Then we set up our pool and got it all clean out, filled up, and ready for fun! Mounteers came down to help. They stayed the night Saturday and went to church with us on Sunday.



Puppies next door



Dave just getting ready to scare Thomas and friends up at the fire pit.
