I want my husband home! Tyler has been in Korea for one week now and has 2.5 left. Usually his TDY's are not this bad but I haven't been ab;e to talk to him; only via Facebook at 3 am twice. He is the most incredible man I have ever had the honor of meeting. He loves his family with all of his heart and being! He is a great example to all that know him! I can't wait to have him home again. It's amazing the longing you feel for just a simple hug when it's not readily available! We love and miss our big daddy so much!

Summer in Utah

This summer, we spent 2 great weeks with our family in Utah. I think we literally did almost everything possible! The Rodeo, Lagoon, Days of '47 Parade, BBQ's, Water Slides, Slumber Party's and Birthday Party's! Even Chane's softball game! We had such a great time but it was really nice to come home and spend some time with Ty before he leaves us for Korea!

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!
