Fun at the Lake and Bar Ten

I just though I might show you some of the fun great times we have down at the good ol' Bar Ten and Just going to the lake! This summer has been so great, full of tons of laughter!

wow what a summer!

Well Summer is finally coming to a close and I've finally got pictures and forced myself to get on the ball like the rest of the family and post the comings and goings of the family still at home kicking it. This summer has been a great one but a really really busy one at that. The beginning of the summer we had the opportunity to have grandpa cornwell come and stay with us for about a month and a half or so. It was great fun to have him. We don't get to see him much, and it was great to get to know him better. Mom and Dad have been working, but also had the chance to take a two week vacation with the rest of the cox kids. They got to go on a cruise to russia. They did have a bit of a scare thinking they wouldn't be able to go cause of

passport company not getting them their passports till the day before they left. Geesh talk about a close one. They had a lot of fun, but of course missed us children oh so terribly! ha ha just had to add that. Of course Mekelle and I were excited to get the house to ourselves. woot woot! But we we're grateful for their return cause it was hard with as much as we work to take care of the house. 2 AM waterings in the yard were a daily thing, yet plants still died. Sorry about that mom. They are also busy with updating the house a bit. We ripped out that big bush in the front yard, got a new rood, tiled the bathroom showers, got new counter tops, re-finished the wood floors, and painted the upstairs and the family room downstairs. You know mom when she wants something done it gets done. Mekelle is busy working for Butler's Western Outfitters and Best Western She is crazy working that night audit shift. But a trooper. Don't think thats only thing she is up too. She still goes dancing every thursday night and might I say she is crazy good at swing dancing. She is also just playing and living it up being young. I can't blame her its so much fun! She is taking a few classes now that summer is winding down and college has started.

I am busy working as well. Working at Best Western also (its become the new dairy queen) and also working for Bar Ten ranch finishing up the season working at the warehouse as well as the

ranch itself. Its been a lot of fun working down there and a great opportunity to sing to lots of people one of my favorite things to do. I just got hired as a receptionist/seceratary at Goodwin Mill and Cabinet. I thought desk clerk was boring. haha. I am just working this semester anticipating january to come so I can go live in russia for 5 months! Yahoo! It'll be fun. We other things happening we had our first cornwell family reunion and it turned out to be a success. thats what the pictures are of. It was great to be with the family again. We miss them when they

are gone. We are also anticipating the arrival of brynna rachel's baby and our second niece. It'll be good for rennie to have a little sister. Well now that i've talked your or typed i should say your eyes out. I will leave you. I promise that I will keep you posted on the comings and goings of us all. I've been pretty bad lately, but I'll get on the ball!
