Cotter's School Play

Cotter has been working on his reading all year & has gotten stinkin good at it! He has done so well he performed his skills in front of his entire class and their parents. He acted out & read the part of Sloppy Dog aka: the pie thief. It was the cutest thing ever! He also learned the "United States" song and can sing every state to you. We had so much fun going to see him- this is me video taping and snapping still shots at the same time...I too am skilled!

Last Dance

I have been styling hair pretty much my entire life! I taught myself how to french-braid hair when I was eight and did all my sisters hair from then on. Whether they were going to church, school, or dances I usually had a hand in what they looked like...my Mom to. I styled every single sister for every dance. They would sit there and let me create until I was happy. Well I just got to style my sister Courtney's hair for her final dance at Mesa High. I feel like this is the end of an era or something like that. I'm gonna miss this. Isn't she pretty!!!

Cotter's big day

My boy is six! Waaaaah! I seriously kinda feel this way at times! Never has there been a more respectful, kind, considerate, loving, fun, funny, talented six year old kid! I am so grateful, and honored to be his Mom! He never stops amazing me! He is genuine and sincere, he makes you feel happy and special, he "gets it" totally!!! I am obviously a proud Mom! He deserves every thing, especially a fantastic Birthday! Love you buddy!

Drive In

I love the Drive In movies! We went and saw, "How To Train My Dragon" or something like that. It was cute and the kids had a blast with their Allen Cousins! My car smelt like Filberto's for like a week, but it was all worth it!

Mission Call

Jake has finally gotten his mission call! He is going to Milwaukee Wisconsin, reporting to the MTC on June 16. I am so proud of him and all his hard work to get here. He is going to be a great missionary!

Birdie Happy spot

We have a little spot on our front porch that the birds love to build nest on. I always see them building nest, then I get to hear chirping a couple days later. Here are the most recent hatchlings. Welcome to our front porch little birdies.
