Becoming Child-like

It is crazy how much a little boy makes you think about things. Somewhere in the scriptures it talks about become like a child. (I don't know scriptures very well, but you get the idea). I never really understood what it fully meant until I became a mom. For instance, the other day I was driving out to my parent's house and Evan made the comment "WOW"!! I asked him what he was talking about and he said "Trees are pretty". Which they were. It was one of those days when the trees were all frosted and it looks like a winter wonderland. I have always thought it was pretty, but when he said that, I looked at it differently. I looked at it through his eyes. How it would look seeing that for the first time. It totally changes the way you look at things. Now all the time, I watch my kids play and try to see what they are seeing, especially when they are seeing or doing something for the first time. It totally makes you appreciate EVERYTHING. I think that is the whole meaning of that scripture. Become like a child and appreciate everything, enjoy the beauty around us, take time to look at things and appreciate all that Heavenly Father has given us.... I appreciate more, and I am always in amazement since I have started doing this. Give it a try.....

About the Cox Family

So I am just getting started with this blog stuff. I hope I can make my blog as cute as the ones I have looked at.....Hopefully. Anyways, I met Derek about 4 1/2 years ago and got married after 9 months of dating. Our 4 year anniversary is coming up in March and I can't believe how fast the time has flown. We have had alot of fun, and brought two precious kids into our family in the last 4 years. Derek's beautiful daughter, Dakota, is 13 and loves to play soccer. She lives in Rexburg with her mom and Step dad and goes to school in Idaho falls. Evan is 2 1/2 and is my favorite little boy. He is such a sweet heart and is one of my best friends. Skylar is turning one on March 6th, and it makes me sad. I can't believe how fast this last year has gone. She is mommy's little Princess and I love her to death. Both of my kids make my day. I can't believe how funny little kids can be. They are the funniest people I know. We live in Rigby and Derek works out to the Site. I am thankful for his job, which allows me to stay home with my kids. I am working on starting my own business, I will let you know about it more when I get it officially going. Hopefully soon. Anyways, It is good to look at everyone's blog and see what they are up to. I am glad things are going good for all my friends. Love you all
