Caroline Elizabeth

So, I have some great news!!! My uncle Paul (dad's brother) and his sweet wife, Dawn, have welcomed a new baby girl to the Cox family! This is their 3rd child, and they decided not to find out the sex of the baby until the delivery day!! Caroline Elizabeth was born on May 27th at 9:05 a.m. She weighed 7 lbs. and 1 oz. and was 19 inches long. They have two sweet little boys, Samuel and Benjamin, that are so cute and definitely approve of their new baby sister. We are sooo excited to have a new girl in the family--we are going to spoil her rotten!!

We have not been able to see them very much because they were missionaries in Madrid, Spain. Luckily for us, they have returned to the States and live in Spring, TX (which is close to Houston.) We are so excited to welcome sweet little Caroline into our family. I am anxious to see what God has in store for her and her awesome family in the years to come.

The Hit Zone

I have mentioned this before, but my Dad and one of his friends put in indoor batting cages a couple of months ago, and as of today, I am now the "manager" of The Hit Zone!! I really enjoy spending time up there because I get to see a lot of people and watch the kids work on their game. I will be there pretty much every day now, so come see me!! :)

More Baseball...

The Tigers played in Lubbock tonight for the Area championship title. We made the trip to Lubbock a little early so we could run some errands and eat at Rosa's before the game. I was so excited because I got to see 2 of my students from Cooper West there! I have missed seeing all my sweet students everyday, so it was great to see and talk to them! They are just awesome. I love being able to make a difference in my student's lives, and tonight was just a small reminder of that.

The game didn't turn out just the way we wanted it though. We ended up losing to Andrews 15-4. Andrews just came out in the first inning and went to work, and unfortunately, Snyder couldn't keep up with them. We have a pretty young team, so I am proud of them for making it this far.

I am going to miss watching these boys play ball together. But, I know that there will be plenty of baseball to watch in the future!!

More Fun!

I haven't done very good with keeping up my 365 thing. (Shocker!!) So, I will just do a quick update! We have been very busy lately. It always seems that this time of the year is really busy with graduations, summer starting up, and extra-curricular activities.

In our case, baseball is the thing that keeps us busy this time of year. Hunter has been playing high school ball, and he is going to play on a select team out of Lubbock this summer. So, we will be watching plenty of baseball the next couple of months! Hunt has been playing baseball since he was able to stand up!!! He made varsity this year as a freshman, and he has really proven himself the past couple of weeks. He has been playing 3rd base and pitching. I am so proud of how he has been playing lately. He is the "baby" of our family (and the only boy), so we have spoiled him rotten. Him and I have been two peas in pod since the day he was born. Snyder won state last year, so Hunt has been real excited about this season. This past weekend, they played Perryton in Levelland. The weather was cold and rainy, but they ended up winning the series. The Tigers play tomorrow night against Andrews to see who will move on in the playoffs. I'm so glad that I've been able to watch him play ball this year.

Project 365--Day 1

Wow! I am such a slacker! I haven't posted Project 365 in FOREVER! I have decided that I am just going to post a picture for each day and write a little blurb about it instead of posting pictures for the entire week on Sundays. So, as of today, I am starting OVER!

Mom and I made a quick trip to Neff's Greenhouses in Colorado City this morning to pick up some palm trees that she had ordered. While we were there, we ended up purchasing some ferns, caladiums, and a fabulous hot pink hibiscus bush. We were loaded down by the time we left there.

When we got back, we lounged by the pool all day long. I LOVE my parent's backyard this time of year. We spend the majority of our time out there.

Home Sweet Home

We have gotten everything into our house and now it is starting to feel like a home. It is just perfect for the two of us. I am really enjoying being back in Snyder. Some people have asked me to share some pics of the new house, and I figured that this would be the easiest way. If you are here, come visit us anytime!!

Sweet Relaxation

Ali finally got her license in last week, so she started work yesterday at Margaret's Day Spa. She has done a few treatments on me, and she has practiced some of her facial massage techniques on me, and it is just HEAVENLY!!! I'm so proud of her! So, give her a call--she's going to keep us looking young. Here are some pictures of her room at the spa.
