NTC Breakfast

I work with this cool dude who is all about being a force for good, as that is a huge belief of the company's. He organizes all sorts of charity events, and volunteer opportunities, and I've been lucky enough to participate in many of those!

Nu Skin hosted an NTC (Nourish the Children) breakfast for distributors during one of our fly-in meetings, which was a huge success!

Whitney and Kristen being important servers.

Ryan, Adrienne and I servin' up some pancake goodness.

And again, Ry-guy and me.

The leftover pancakes, I can't imagine they were all that good, were donated to the Provo Food & Care Coalition.

Mr. Scott Van Pelt, far left, is the mastermind behind quite a few of these charitable events, let's give him a round of applause!
Ugh, I can't hear you.

I Heart My Job

I work with rad people

Be prepared for many Nu Skin posts, and an explanation to these photos.

Mattresses, Pizza and Brick Breaker

Whitney IS a cool mom. One night in the former Ingram residence was spent racing down the hallway on a mattress track and crashing into pillows and blankets stacked up against her bedroom door.

We also ate CPK pizza for dinner under a mattress fort, and since I'm a cool aunt I allowed Jack to play brick breaker on my phone with pizza sauce fingers.

After a little head-to-door accident.

Tuckered Out

After a long day with cousin, Hudson, Jack ended up asleep on his dad within 3 minutes of coming home, no exaggeration.

Space Mistress

This post, and the few following, are long overdue, please forgive me. Mal and I, being the great sisters we are, drove to Cali and packed up the Ingram's home. One wife, one husband, two kids, and all their earthly belongings. The trip was definitely not all work, and no play, we goofed around plenty.

Jack cracks me up with his food choices. Does he turn up his nose to 12 grain wheat bread? Not a chance. He'll have two pieces, thank you.

We transformed Jack into a space mistress, ain't he a beauty?

Family Pixies

Just thought I'd show off my handsome husband and good looking BIL's and FIL. Is that weird that I just said that?

I really love this picture of Andrew. He's so dang cute.

And also my pretty SIL's and MIL! Pay no attention to the troll on the far right.

All the grandkids, in all their glory! L-R: Crew, Ava, Adrie, Mazie, Madi, Bree, Kyra, Andrew, Ellie, Griffin. Those poor boys are pretty outnumbered!

A firetruck sped by right then, and Aves was so excited!

Ava was trying to get my attention and say, "listen! listen!", and I couldn't understand what she meant for the life of me. Then I remember, AHA, we listened to my iPod the other night at her house! Here she is enjoying The Little Mermaid "Kiss the Girl".

The Many Faces of Van

If you even pretend you'll get sick of seeing this face, we'll be mortal enemies. I love this happy little boy.

Although Whitney says he can't be, I say he's my boyfriend. Don't be jealous Tadd.

Softball

A summer activity almost the whole Cox family enjoys is softball! My BIL Chris Demartini always forms a team for his business, American Bailbonds, and this year a lot of Tadd's family played on it!

Here are just a few pics from a couple games I attended. I really miss that warm weather.

Buddy Andrew. He's so stinkin' cute.

Andrew with Lacey!

Batter up!


Big Pun, a good friend of the family. He'll hit that ball out of the park everytime!

BIL Chris

Tadd's cousin's daughter, Riley. She's such a sweetheart.

Riley's mom, Amber, and Amber's mom, Debbie! Debbie and my mother in law are sisters.

Lots of family and lots of fun! Whoopie!

Actually...

Due to one deeply offended husband, I will not be changing my name to exclude him. I guess I never saw it that way. In my defense, and so you don't think I'm terribly insensitive, I figured Tadd thought my blog was stupid and cheesy. Alright, he's right on, but I generally thought he didn't care! Well, once again Caitlyn was wrong. Anyway, let us all come together and create a new name for US.

All I'm coming up with is:

taddycat

Yikes, that's a pretty pathetic selection. Help, please!

It's Time

My friends, it's time for a new domain name, and I need some input. I'm not one for creative words, so help me out here.

Seeing as how my current URL is a blatant lie, there is no Tadd involved in my blog, just Cat. Tadd doesn't contribute, nor is he rarely featured. Here is where my brainstorming has gotten me:

caitlynkittycat
kittycatcaitlyn
kitkatcox
kitcatcox

kittencox

heytherekittycat

Whit and I figured a smorgasbord of nicknames would be bitchin'. Thoughts? Additions?

Van Says, "Go Green"

Repulsive Regrowth

Do you ever feel like your life is only as boring as your blog? I absolutely do.

I'm just waiting for my next excitement peak in my life, and trust me, when that happens YOU'LL KNOW. You'll just feel it.

Good news, folks, Mal has yet to reveal ANOTHER artistic talent. She can do hair! If, of course, you've mixed up the color, pulled her gloves on for her, and started the pattern for her. If your hair color is ever haneous, and no one can be found, give Mal a call!

What's Sabi?

Ever eaten a tablespoon of Wasabi all at once? Well, don't.

I decided to test this out for you; only thinking of you. To end your curiosity, I'll just tell you that you WILL get sick, you'll have spicy burps for 24+ hours, and your stomach will feel like it's rotting.

Whitney Burgess' desk at work, the best b-day decoration I've ever seen! Far surpasses my desk, which I didn't think was possible!

Whit and me at Happy Sumo.

YOU Think You Can Dance?

My dance show buddy and I headed to SLC last week for the SYTYCD tour! Surprisingly, I never saw a single episode this season...come to think of it, I've never seen an episode of any season! I'm a loser, I know.

I'd seen enough dances on YouTube.com to catch on to who was who, and I quickly chose my favorites.

" Fa Real" Season Four. Probably the cheesiest thing I've ever seen.

I apologize for the plethera of pictures, maybe you don't care to see them, but I do!

Also, cheap tickets + sitting FAR away = blurry pictures.

My favorite girl: Katee. Why the freak didn't she win?

I LOOOOOVED this dance; so creative! Kherington is slightly spastic, but I feel it communicates in a way of immense feeling and emotion, which I loved.

The boys, Gev was my fave for his personality, and Twitch for his body. Hey, just calling a spade a spade.

I love this picture. Lighting on the left, the dance step, outfit, all of it. Maybe Mallory could make it cool for me?

I didn't expect to like this one when it began, but it was very moving.

Speaking of moving...WOW. Could Katee be any more awesome? I really love how they use props in a lot of the dances. That has to be so tough!

The crew! I'm diggin' the dude's jeans, I want a pair!

I'm definitely tuning in next season, hair appointments or not!

*Taddy and I are watching a show called "I Was Bitten", and I think I just decided I have a new nightmare. Snake bites! You should've seen this unfortunate, but foolish, dude's hand. Oh gag!
