It's time for a few new posts!!

I have been really busy and have not had much time to blog. We are all doing well. WE had a great winter skiing and being together. We are now excited for Spring! Brady has his shoulder surgery the first of March and is doing really well. We had a wonderful Easter. I love this time of year, I think it might be my favorite. Here are some pictures of what has been going on in the Cottle Clan.

Random pics

Here are some random pictures of kate and Izzy, me and Jana (major posers), Crew in his ski outfit. We are teaching him how to ski this year. I will take my camera up next time we go and get some pictures, it is so dang cute!!

Christmas!

Christmas was wonderful! Our kids were told not to come into our room until 7:00, at 7:00 Sharp they came running and screaming "its Christmas, wake up mom and dad!" (as if we were sleeping) I sleep with one eye open on Christmas eve! Anywho, Jaden had a hard time falling to sleep so finally around 12:30 I gave him some NyQuil.(for his "cough" wink, wink) Santa was very kind. Crew had asked for a red sweat shirt for two years in a row now, so he finally brought it. He was so happy, he would have been fine with just that! Mitch got a new snowboard which he has used many times already. Jaden got a p.s.p. which he was very excited about also. Kate got a camera and was taking every ones picture. We have had so much fun going skiing, to movies and hanging out. For New Years, we went to a friends house and ate and played games, then we came home and rang in the new year. Our kids bang pots and pans outside and scream at the top of their lungs. (Our poor neighbors!) Mitch and Jaden stayed up ALL night until 6:00! Kate made it until 3:00. Crew didn't make it to ring in the new year! It was very fun. I am excited for the New Year and excited to see what kind of "change" will happen this year.

It's about time I know! Here are a few up dates!

Thanksgiving we traveled down to Utah to visit family. We had a great time visiting, eating, shopping, eating, shopping, eating,...ect. We had Thanksgiving dinner with Bradys side this year. It was soo fun to see everyone and visit with them. I can't believe how big every ones kids are getting! It was fun to be with family, we don't realize how much we miss them until we are there. Utah is getting soo busy, we don't miss that at all. We are just so thankful and blessed to have such a wonderful family! These pictures are of the Cottles! Crazy people! ;)
