red-green deficient

We recently took Emma and Kael to the eye doctor to make sure they didn't need glasses with Kaelen's excessively bad eye sight we figured one of the kids would be in need of glasses at some point. To my surprise it wasn't Kaelen's genes that were the problem it was mine! Shocking I know! the Foxes aren't as prefect as we thought :) Anyway come to find out Kael is red- green deficient... Color Blind! Most common in boys and is inherited through the mothers genes (so dad, mom was right you are color blind)...1 out of 12 males are color blind ... go here to learn more and test yourself... It also explains why he often squints in bright sunlight the color blind are more sensitive to bright light.... 

 he told me, that the sun was hurting his eyes here...

So the Party started off with a treasure hunt, Kaelen made it up and it had the kids running all over place looking for clues... They all loved it...

 Kael wasn't sad just caught him at a bad picture moment

Volcano Cake w/ dinosaurs

Kael check en out the cake

Happy Birthday bud I hope you love being 5 we love having you be apart of our family, love you :)

the party is over there !

So Kaelen took off fishing for the week and took the camera with him (before I got a chance to take the pictures off) ... I guess he has to document all the fish he is going to catch... So head over to my sister -in-laws blog to see party we all put together for my in laws 40th anniversary...(just click here:) 

She took a lot more and better pictures than I did anyway... :)

1 Year

 1 year old today... This sweet little girl loves...
I can't get enough of her ... When I pick her up from her bed
after a nap, she looks me right in the eye and then pats me
on the shoulder as if she is saying "good job mom keep it up."
Happy Birthday Cora !

Spring Break!!! Florida!!!

This year we headed to Utah as we usually do for spring break ... to visit with the Fox’s. We hung out for a few days... Then Kaelen , Cora & I took off to Florida to visit with the Coon’s while Max, Emma & Kael spent some quality time with Grandpa , Grandma , Mia, & Jess. So the following are lots of pictures of us having fun with the Coon’s in St. Augustine (the oldest city in America)
