Wordless Wednesday

Weekend in Mempis!!!!

...or "Memthis" as MWC called it! :) A couple of weeks ago, RDC and I decided to take the kids on a a quick trip to Memphis. We had always talked about taking them to the zoo and the Children's Museum up there--so we planned an impromptu trip. And we are SOOO very glad we did!! :) We had such a great time. The kids did great and we had enough time to do it all without feeling rushed. After RDC got off work on Thursday, we loaded up and headed out. We got up Friday morning and headed to the zoo!! :) The kids LOVED it! They have some new exhibits to see and the weather was great. It started getting cool right about the time we left. Here are just a FEW of the pictures we took while we were there.

Watching the monkeys!!!

Watching the bears play--they got a little rough....

What was especially neat was they had some exhibits and animals that our local zoo does not have. So we were able to see some different animals.







White wolves

And some elk.....

That night we were able to have dinner with some FABULOUS friends who have moved just south of Memphis. We had so much fun catching up and watching the kids play together. Thanks, Pace Family for a fun evening!!

**More later on the Museum.

What have we been up to?!?!?!

I know y'all have wondering what is going on with the Cox family?!?!? :) It has been quiet busy these last several weeks. The first of February, EJW and I flew with the kids to visit Grandaddy!! We had a really great time and the kids did GREAT on the flight!! Toward the end on the way home, JDC got a little restless that is only because he wanted to stand up in the seat and turn the light on and off like he go to do with EJW on the way over!! :) ~~I will post pictures and more on that in another post.

Then of course we celebrated Daddy's birthday, Valentine's Day and EJW's birthday. It seemed like every time we turned around we were celebrating and eating!! But it has been a fun month.

A McDonalds gift card for their date!! :)

But now we enter March and we get ready for a VERY special little boy's birthday. Yes, in about 2 1/2 weeks our baby will be 2!!! And he is definitely filling the role of the boy in the house!! BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!! One of my favorite thing he does right now is--if you ask him, "who is a mess?" He either responds with, "me" (and a grin) or "mess."

And on top of all of that we have been doing "house stuff". ~~Painting, cleaning out the garage, etc. So we have been busy to say the least!! Hopefully, things will slow down and we can get outside and play more!! :)
