Pictures of Dallas

When we went to Dallas we also got to go to the temple. So the pictures are from that and the video is what Makenna thinks the baby is. She refuses to accept that it might be a boy. I don't know what we are going to do if it is. Also, we spent the weekend painting and moving Autumn's room and we put up the new crib we bought. I never bought a crib for the girls. They just had a pack' n' Play because we were always on the move. I refused to put this one in a pack n' play so here it is a little premature, but we set it up because Jon leaves in April and won't be back until the baby is practically here. Lucky us. Minneapolis will prove to be really fun though. It has the Great Mall of America!!! Yee Hoo. Shopping while pregnant :( I have decided to stay behind until May so that I can finish out teaching dance, and let Makenna finish preschool. It will be hard being apart, but it will be nice to finish off normal life before the monotony of the summer selling begins. Well, thats all for now, but will keep posting when exciting news comes.

February News

So, I have really slowed down on the blogging, but life has been really busy for us lately. So I will just have to pick up where I left off. My little sister got married the end of January and it was beautiful. It was so wonderful to see my entire family together, and to witness such a joyous event. The next weekend, the first of February we headed up to a cabin in Island Park. We had a blast snowmobiling and seeing our old friends we work with. Then this past Valentines weekend was eventful, but not really romantic. We have been keeping a secret and thought it would be cute to send out Valentines with the news. Yep, I am having #3!!! I am ten weeks so we sent out a picture of the ultrasound to tell everyone. It was really fun getting the phone calls. However, Valentines day we were on the road because we decided to drive down to Texas to visit family and pick up a load of brick for my dad. The girls loved staying in a hotel half way and going swimming, and I couldn't complain with the 60-80 degree weather. AWESOME and SWEEEEET! Visiting Grandma and Grandpa Cottle as well as Nicole was really special the girls ran into grandma's arms when we got there and They SPOILED the girls and US completely rotten. Wow, they were generous enough even to offer there own furniture for us to take home. So guess what. We brought home a beautiful chair. We also went to a Tepanyaki grill and the girls were so funny to watch. They guy was throwing eggs in the air and lighting the fire in front of us and Autumn and Makenna would jump and then say More fire, more fire. And finally we got to visit one of Jon's best friends Jared Deter and his wife Abish. They were H.S. friends and roomed in College at BYU. They had just had there first little one and we were so happy to get the chance to visit them. We hope it doesn't take us 3 years to see them again. Well, we got back just fine and in one peace so the trip was a success, although the multiple pee stops between Makenna and I drove daddy craZy ;) And now that the time was rushed past we see March coming upon us. We hope everyone for a very warm March and that the snow will finally melt. I can't wait to see my tulips bloom. Love ya'll, the Cottle's
