Lexie dressing up in material scraps
Brynnlee is obsessed with these doll glasses.
And because Brynnlee got attention with them of course Lexie had to try them out.
Dang she is so cute!

Hogle Zoo
Last Friday the girls and I went to the zoo with Kim, a couple of her friends and her sister. We had so much fun. The girls were great and loved every minute of it. We got there about 11:00 and left around 5:00. It was a long day that passed by quickly. Brynnlee loved the camels and Lexie loved the giraffes. Brynnlee also loved the mire cats runny around. I can't believe we stayed that long and the girls were so good.

On the little train ride that only lasted 3 minutes. Oh, well the kids loved it.
Lexie is pouting because she isn't sitting on the head.
We stayed at the giraffes for a long time.
We visited the giraffes twice.

You can't go to the zoo without taking this picture.
Brynnlee had a little chat with the gorilla.

Cox Family Reunion
Our annual Cox Family Reunion was at Bear Lake this year. My little sister Tori was in charge and did a fabulous job. We stayed in a very spacious but weird house. No complaints it worked well for what we needed. We had a great view of the lake and early morning sun rises. We spent 2 days at the lake. We were lucky and got a really good spot on the beach. The water is so high there is not much beach to play on. We rode jet ski's, played bocci ball and badminton, and of course played scrum.
I took Lexie out on the jet ski and taught her how to do donuts. She was fearless. She would go full speed and then just whip it. She wanted to show dad so when one was free all three of us went out. She punches it and goes to turn, well I didn't exactly take into consideration the extra weight of JD on the back. He bailed off hoping we
would stay on. Well no such luck. Not only did we got over the jet ski tipped up side down and the seat came off. This is a bad thing! Since the seat came off the machine filled with water. I held on to Lexie and made sure she was okay. She came up out of the water saying "sorry, sorry, sorry." Poor little girl was so devastated thinking it was her fault. I calmed her down while JD tried to get the machine going. Lexie suggested we say a prayer because we couldn't get the machine going. She said the sweetest prayer ever. And 2 minutes later 2 girls on a jet ski stopped and took Lexie and I back to the shore and then went to tow JD in. Thankfully Lexie laughs about it now and thinks it is really funny she threw us all off and she can't wait to do it again. Hopefully we can
get the machine going again.
We played minute-to-win-it which JD and my mom tied for the trophy.
On the way home we played chicago ball at the park in Garden City. We had a great time with the family and can't wait until next year.
We stopped at Bear Lake Pizza and got the "Old Ephraim". It was huge!

Girls Camp
Girls Camp was awesome. No other way to describe it. The girls in my ward are amazing and so fun to be around. We didn't have any drama the entire time! We camped for 5 days, yes 5 days is a long girls camp, but we made it. To summarize: We were up at 6:45 if not earlier every morning and in bed by maybe 2:00 AM every night (well technically morning). We had an awesome speaker on Tuesday night her name was Elizabeth Craig. We had a faith walk one night and the stake leaders talked to us another night. Our testimony meeting around the campfire was amazing. We stayed up too late and made too much noise the missionaries had to come and talk to us leaders (oops).
If I didn't have a testimony of girls camp before this I sure do now. I learned so much from my young women. They are outstanding girls and great examples of the kind of people we should all want to be.
I have hundreds of pictures but I am only posting a few.
My beautiful cousin Tara got to come with me. Yes I am wearing a onsie! I was the trail guide, so I dressed the part. You have to have comic relief on hikes.

Lexie's ER visit
We found out the hard way that Lexie is allergic to penicillin. She had a double ear infection so the doctor put her on amoxicillin. Five days of being on the medicine nothing happened. On the sixth day she told me she couldn't go to sleep because these bites itched. Being a mean mom I told her she would be fine and to get in bed. When she woke up she had more little bite looking things. I was a little freaked out thinking maybe it was bed bug bites! I made her an appointment with her doctor. By the time we made it to the doctor's office they started to look like hives and not bites. The doctor took one look at her and asked what she was allergic to. We started her on benadryl right there. The next day she woke up with swollen everything. Her poor little hands and ears were even swollen. She was complaining her throat was hurting. I called the doctor who told us to take her to the ER. So we made the trip to the ER. Lexie was spitting mad!She did not want to be in the hospital. The sweet old man volunteer was trying everything he could to make her happy, but all she would scream was "I want to go home"! They did an IV with steroids and benadryl. After a couple of hours she looked much better. Needless to say she takes medicine really well now because she doesn't want to go to the hospital ever again.
Poor girl was just covered with hives
