The North Dakota Coxes (Four of us left)

Some things simply matter more than others

Xander and shan came to visit us here in ND. Here is a list of things we(meaning mostly Xander) did: Jumped on the tramp with Auntie Suzie, Got spoiled by grandpa with popsicles, almost drowned with his momma and grandpa in the river, and last but not least, played with the puppy. He is absessed! He would wake up in the morning and we'd hear PUPPY! PUPPY! And we would go to bed at night with Xander wanting to see the PUPPY!




Now, more explaining the drowning situation. It was a warm school-off Monday evening, so we decided to go to the river. Well, It was too full at the Lewis and Clark dock so we decided to go to Misty Waters, Also part of the river. The current was really strong. Grandpa and grandma took Suzie and Mel to a half-covered with water island, then went to get Shan and Xander. Now here comes the scary part, Shan gave Xander to Grandpa and the jet ski started to float away, but shan put her foot on the jet ski and it tipped and they ALL fell in the water! They were holding on to the dock's handles for dear life and trying to stay above the water, which didn't happen often. They went underthe water lots of time and Xander just laid on Shan's arm and was still and not even crying. While they were there Grandma was trying to decide whether to save the jet ski or save the others. She decided to go get the jet ski and bumped it so it wouldn't float off. Then Grandpa finally was able to get up and help Shan and Xander up. So..we left the river about 15 minutes after that . Scary huh?










He is So cute!

I can't believe it. There is actually a new post. I loved it, but it was really hard to read. I recommend a different color for the font.

The story was riveting by the way.

What is with you guys putting the little boys in girl clothes? I think I'd better have a girl first just so my child won't get subjected to that... :)
