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

Wow! Congrats! To be honest I knew..a while a go, no one told me, I just knew when i saw the look on your face holding Wendy's baby around Whitney's wedding. I could tell that if you weren't pregnant, you would be soon. You are such a great mom. We are very excited for you!
