This week was another crazy big one for us. Jon's family came in and we had a full house. 16 of us were sleeping in our house. It was nice to see everyone and Makenna and Autumn loved having there cousins for four days straight. For Thanksgiving Jon's grandma Carol Cottle came and enjoyed dinner with us. It was really neat to hear what she was thankful for and to have her in our home; what a blessing!!! On Sat. Jon and I got to go to the big game with his family. It was so much fun, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, Goooooooo Cougars!!!! Four of us were BYU fans and three were die hard U fans. We had a good rivalry going on. The game was a nail bitter going into over time, but it was wonderful to see a win after watching them loose in our Stadium the years we attended BYU. It brought back many memories of Jon and I's college years and we loved feeling the spirit of BYU again!!!!
On Sunday, we were able to have the very special opportunity to bless Dean in our home. Jon blessed him naming him Dean Richard after his Dad and grandfather. After the wonderful blessing we heard some beautiful testimonies from the Grandpa's and KayCee and Tom. I love hearing the testimonies of family members and feel great Joy that we are able to unite and have those experiences.
Much love to you all for the Holidays with warm wishes of peace and remembering our Savior. The Church of Jesus Christ was brought forth in these latter-days to bring us peace in times of uncertainty and Joy in keeping the commandments. May we all see our blessings during the holidays and remember our Saviors life and live by His example. Merry Christmas

BEAUTIFUL family!!! Those girls are just darling and Dean is definitely a Cottle! Love the name! Makenna's hair is adorable... but then so is Atti's... dang, you just have cute kids all around! And you look fantastic! How sweet that you got to bless Dean at home with family. What a great experience! And while I may not be a die hard football fan, I can definitely be proud of the Cougars!!! Happy to see that all is well with ya'll... happy holidays!!!!
That is so generous of the Utes to let BYU have a win. Now if only Max could learn to be a little more grateful and Christ-like.
