Scrapbook

So I have just finished my sister-n-law Jades' scrapbook and so now I am trying to find some to do...(hint, hint)!! So if anyone is interested, just let me know!

We're Back!

I'm Back! I can't believe it has been over a year since I have posted something on here! It has been a CRAZY year; We moved to California, right outside San Francisco, we lived in a hotel for 4 months, Braxton started the first grade, Ty a new job, Brollin started physical therapy, I lost both my Grandma and Grandpa Cottrell...it just keeps coming. We are all doing great and having a ton of fun. Coming up this month we have the 24th in Utah, Ty is headed to Korea for a month and Brax is celebrating her 7th Birthday. My goal is to update at least once a week! Let's see how well I do!

Spirit Week

This week at school was Braxton's Spirit Week. She also got to stay a whole day for 1st Grade practice! I can't even tell you how boring this house is without her bouncing around everywhere! She only got 4 days of Spirit Week because they get Friday off.

From jumping to "The Pink Eye"

Here are some pictures of Ty jumping out of a C-130 (I think, he'll die if I put the wrong plane). It is so incredible to be able to walk out our front door and see Ty doing such a fun and amazing thing. He truly leads an incredible life. I wish more people were able to see him in action! Braxton, Brollin and I are so lucky to have such an amazing man in our lives!





Poor Brolli has "The Pink Eye" as Brax refers to it. I hate this...there isn't anything you can do for them. It's so sad! But true to himself, he doesn't go one second without a huge smile on his face!

Brollin's 1st Birthday

Little trucks and mounds of dirt...
Band-aids on those things that hurt...
Climbing trees and running miles...
Our little boy just makes us smile!
Our little boy has turned one! We celebrated at the FunSpot with all of our closest friends. He had so much fun but just like his big sister when she turned one, he wouldn't touch his cake! funny kiddos. The only thing that would have made it better was to have our family there. Thanks to everyone for all the support this past year!

We're Back!

Wow! Well I am pretty sure most everyone has given up on me as a blogger, but I'm back! It's been a little crazy around our house; Tyler got home after a 3 month deployment and we are just now getting back to normal.

Brollin is crawling like crazy, trying so hard to walk, pulling up on everything and pulling out everything else! He's got a ton of teeth and his hair is completely out of control. He is such a momma's boy but when he is looking for fun, he goes straight to daddy! Ty missed so much with him; he is so excited to be catching up!

Braxton has lost her first tooth. She wiggled and waggled it for weeks and finally last night she 'let' Ty pull it out. He actually grabbed it and wouldn't let go until it came out. She is still doing great in gymnastics and is about to start swim lessons and T-Ball. Tomorrow she is getting the Anderson Elem. Student Of The Month Award! We are so proud of her! She is such an incredible little girl!

Ty and I are doing great! We just celebrated our 6 year anniversary! It has been the best 6 years ever! We went out to dinner at The Melting Pot and believe it or not, that was our first date in exactly a year. He has been gone so much, it is great to finally have him home for a few months! We are getting ready to go to Hawaii in 3 weeks! I am so excited! This is going to be our first vacation together (we have never even been on a plane together)! It is a much overdo vaca!

We miss everyone so much and for the first time in 3 years we are all pretty home sick for Utah. As our kids get older and we see our families doing all these fun things together, it is hard to sit back and observe. We can't help but feel that our kids are missing out on so much! We love everyone and I promise from now on, I will be better!

Brolli's Turn for Fun

Now that Brolli is moving around, his favorite place to go is the Fun Spot. It's all padded and he loves for Brax to send him down the slide. He always has to watch Brax roller skate and now he gets to have fun as well.
