The Cox Family Circus

ANNUAL SUMMER TRIP TO UTAH!

We always spend time in Utah with family and friends during the summer. We were planning on staying a week, but we stayed 2. We had a lot of fun. The kids were in heaven...with kids and family galore. We had a great time with everyone and wish we could see everyone more often. Thanks to Kyle's parents for housing and feeding our tribe for 2 weeks!!

On our trip to Utah, we spent one day up in Bountiful. We went and visited with my good friend Lisa and her family. Between our 2 families, we now have 10 kids. CRAZY. First picture: all 10 kids!! 2nd picture: The babies of the bunch, Angus and Claire...looking adorable.

While in Bountiful, we had a big bbq with our extended Lowell family. We had quite a turn- out!! Those in attendance: Grandma-Great Lowell. Uncle Kevin, Aunt Carol and their kids: Jacob and wife Jen with their 2 girls, Hannah and Sasha. Joseph. Sarah (her husband was at work) and her 2 kids, Jared and baby Katie. Jonathan and his fiancee, Jennifer. Benjamin (his wife was working). David (he is leaving for his mission to Chile in August) and Michael. Kathy and Alan with their kids: Jared, Jen, Jill and Joni. Kyle and I and our kids, and Kris (Tina was working) and Kody. We ate great food, the kids played games, we watched the trains go by and spent time catching up with each other. We had a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again soon!

My Uncle Kevin and Claire. I guess that makes him Claire's great-uncle.












Ansley, Eli and Jill. So cute. I love this picture.

This was Eli's and Kody's favorite part of the picnic.






Cute Eli. He was in awe of the trains.





Lots of kids!

Eli (with a very dirty face) and Kody. I took another
picture of these 2 where Kody was smiling, but it was
blurry. Too bad...he has an adorable smile.
