 Best friends for life

Logan with his favorite seminary teacher and mentor Brother Butler. He loves him and appreciated his support all year.


Well my oldest graduated from high school on Wednesday, May 30th. I truly can't believe that my little blond boy has grown up to become a responsible, handsome adult. He kept a 3.9 GPA all through school and dedicated himself every day to give his best. He will be successful in whatever he plans on doing as his goals are limitless. It is exciting to see him preparing for a new chapter in his life, a mission and then college where he wants to study medicine. I know he can achieve those goals and his dad and I will be on the side cheering him on every step. We love you Logan and are SO proud of your accomplishements. You truly are amazing. :)

My two soccer players

Precious Picture of both my boys in their soccer uniforms on Senior night against Bingham. My Senior and my Freshman. I am so very proud of them and both of their accomplishments. Such a bitter sweet feeling knowing that next year Logan will not be playing high school soccer anymore and Hayden will take charge! I was beaming with pride as I sported Logan's jersey in support! We came away with a win which made the whole night and we now enter into playoff games starting Tuesday. Go Lehi!

Me and my boys.

Varsity and JV, Two Brothers.......priceless.

Hayden joined his brother on the Lehi High School Soccer Team as a Freshman. He made the JV team, while his older brother will continue on as a Senior on the Varsity team. What an incredible experience to be able to watch brothers bond, train, travel, and dress for soccer together. I am so proud of both of them and will enjoy watching 3 hours of soccer twice a week. Go Cottle Boys and Go LEHI!!!!

NEW YEAR'S EVE 2011

This year we had Jeff's sister Pam and her family over for New Year's Eve. We had lots of food, lots of laughing, and managed to stay up way past midnight. I even managed to convince Logan to stay home as long as some "friends" came over. So fun to bring in the New Year with all my family. Here's to an awesome New Year!!!!

Finally Christmas

I thought I would finally post some of my favorite pictures of Christmas with my family. This very well may be our last Christmas with our oldest son before he goes out into the real world.....sniff sniff. We really enjoyed some great simple quiet time together. It was nice to have a very relaxing Christmas morning. As the kids get older, the mood changes, and I have to adapt myself to change with them. We still read "The Gift of the Magi" before bed on Christmas Eve. We still set out cookies. We still went to my family Christmas party where Garrett sat on Santa's lap. We all still took turns Christmas morning opening presents. We all still enjoyed the traditional breakfast of Tea Ring, Sausage Casserole, Homemade Hot Chocolate, and Waffles and Strawberries......yummy. I cherish each and every memory we spent together, and know that the future Christmases will be just as enjoyable but different.

Jeff and I

I just love this picture.

Some Favorite Things

I love my Christmas tree....I just do. I got a new smaller skinnier tree a couple of years ago to fit in my front room better and I LOVE IT. Every year I put it up I love it more. I also had to post the latest thing my husband built for me.....He made me a large picture frame that I saw at a store that was very expensive. I asked him if he could make me one......he did and I love it more than the one at the store.
