Birthday Get-away

The first weekend in June Scotty and I took a road trip (our whole family of 4, dogs and all!) to St. Simons Island and Savannah. It was a fun, HOT, comical weekend!
Our first dinner in Savannah was at a seafood place, this was after dinner. Scotty didn't feel the same :)





Family picture in downtown Savannah (you can barely see Sera)




Some of you may have seen this on Facebook but it was too funny not to post. It started with a bird diving at my head, and then you can see the rest...

Then we headed onto St. Simons Island. It's a little beach town, we've been once before and didn't stay long so we have wanted to come back. It's also home to my favorite store, Dutchman Designs- . Here are a few pics from
St. Simons...









You probably didn't notice Midas, he's in the photo too!

Sera's favorite part of the trip, trying to catch a fly. Lol.

And lastly, happy to head home :)

Happy Easter!

Hope you are all enjoying your Easter weekend, we sure are! I felt especially blessed to get to spend time with my little brother and nephews this weekend. Ty stayed with us since Mom and Taylor are in EUROPE! Dad works at night so he stayed with us.

Friday morning Sera and I did our first therapy visit. She did so well and I felt very blessed to meet some of the people we did. She was VERY tired after only a half hour!



Later that day I was able to spend some time at the lakehouse with two of my good friends on Friday, we jetskiied and got some sun!


I forgot to take pictures of egg decorating with Connor but here are our finished products...


Easter Sunday has been breakfast with Scotty, Dad, and Ty. Then we took the dogs to the lakehouse for lunch with Ron and Linda.



Homemade donuts!



My momma still gives Scotty and I easter "baskets", this was mine. Cute!




Caelus loves jetskiing and snails!




Sera, not so much! But she also likes escargot. :P




Happy Easter from the Coxes!

Spring is here!

It's spring time, and our garden is growing! The greenhouse has even been upgraded-as you'll see. Nothing is ready to eat, except cilantro which I have an abundance of so if you are planning on making some fresh salsa or pico de gallo, let me know! Take a look!


Our Roma tomato plant has 4-5 tomatoes growing!



Cucumbers are going crazy!




Holy peas!




Cilantro, broccoli is going next to it today.




Onions!




And last, peppers. Oh, peppers. They have had little white bugs on them from the beginning. We talked to a local expert and she recommended an organic spray from Home depot. Next year though, ladybugs! Lots of them, I'm excited to try!

In adoption news, we have been second guessing putting all of our faith in one company. We haven't given them any money yet so we aren't obligated just yet. We are starting week 7 in MAPP class and will have our home study coming up soon.
We've cleaned out the spare room, and are ready to paint...anyone love to paint?!? Haha.

We are starting to furnish the room too, with gently loved items. If you have anything gender neutral that you aren't using, we'd appreciate everything!

Our garden and greenhouse :)

So over the last few weeks Scotty has been working hard on our green house so we can grow our own yummy veggies. Here is a picture of day one:



Sera was a big help, of course!

Here is a final picture, one panel left to install:



We even have a swinging door with a lock!



Tomatoes, in the green container will be jalapeños, wandering peppers, heirloom tomatoes. In the orange container, bell peppers.



Onions, peas.



Cilantro already growing, lettuce and more peas. In the long container, cucumbers!!


This certainly has made our transition into the upcoming hot weather more exciting! It's probably the first time I can say that :) I also have sunflowers, blueberries, & hollyhocks growing out front, waiting for them to pop up!

Hope you take the time to enjoy a garden grown herb or veggie, just one! It really does taste better!!!

San Francisco, that's fun to say ;)

San Francisco Trip

I started thinking the other day, “I haven’t blogged in a really long time. Since now I know more than just ours moms read this (Thanks Abigail!!), I should probably update.” Then after looking I realized that we never posted anything about our San Francisco trip! In short, it was a relaxing, much needed, memorable trip with a husband I am very blessed to have ☺ Here are some of the highlights!!



At the Castillo de Amorosa winery I dared Scotty to touch the sheep, naturally he touched its butt.


Our first day, Golden Gate Bridge is in the background



The City



Our Cute/Terrifying Cottage in Napa Valley


Us at Castilla de Amorosa (Also where a date on Jake's season of the bachelor was filmed!!)


In the shower room at Alcatraz....creepy :(



Scotty at Half Moon Bay on our way to the Muir Woods




Scotty in a Redwood at Muir Woods in the Redwood Forest

It was an AMAZING trip, we were so tired at the end from all the walking. Hope you enjoyed the pics and you and your families are doing well!

Love,
Tera (and Scotty) ;)
