KODY

Well, for a few months now, Kody has been complaining that he

can't see very well.  I kind of put it off, but when he started

complaining of headaches, we decided it was time to take him in.

Here he is getting all the tests done. 

Goofy kid!   

And the result is:

He definitely needs glasses.

He was -1.00 in the left eye

and -1.5 with stigmatism in the right eye. 

We tried a lot of different frames, but these are the ones we chose!

What a handsome little guy!

Although I think they make him look older now! ;( 

Tonight was also our Blue and Gold Banquet for scouting.

Kody was very excited about getting his awards

and doing the skits! 

Here he is putting on MY pin!  I got the bobcat AND wolf!  

Here he is with his friend, Logan, dressed as mosquitos,

doing a skit! 

It was a great night!  Thanks to all those who work so hard in scouting!

Sisters Blog

My sisters and I always joke about starting some sort of business.

We are all good at different things, and together--

we'd have it all covered!

Atleast one of us does cooking, hair, sewing, photography,

crafting, cards, exercising, scrapbooking, organization,

decorating, singing, ect., and we're ALL moms!

Needless to say, we have lots to learn from each other, and lots to share too!

So we've decided to start a blog!
It's called Bits of Everything ...and it's just that-

a little bit of everything. It's a place for us to share ideas,

things we've tried and want to try, tips and tricks, recipes, links, and lots more!
We'll be posting everyday of the week - so go check it out!!

Already-I've posted some fun Valentine ideas,
Cali has posted about a super cool photography find,
and today Holly posted her first tutorial!
Go see!

Lacey's birthday!

My baby, Lacey, had her 3rd birthday last week! She is such a sweetie! I love having her around all day.

She is silly and always has the funniest things to say! I think it is because she is like a parrot and repeats almost everything we say!
She is easily entertained and so quiet that sometimes I have to call to her to see where she is!

I asked Lacey which kind of cake she wanted (because I was going to buy one to make) and she said "Chocolate!" Micah was with us and he said, "Don't buy it...I'll make her one!" He did too--and it was delicious! Thanks honey!

Here she is opening a few gifts! I love age 3! She was so thrilled with everything she got!

All the kids are growing up so fast! I'm trying to savor every moment!

Happy Birthday Lacey!! We LOVE you!

Our New Year's Eve Party!

This was our New Year's Eve party!!! Micah was working AGAIN...so our friends invited us over. We had a blast together!

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

We were sad that Micah had to work on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, so we decided to go to a movie! We met some friends at the theatre to see "Despicable Me". It was okay.

Here I am with my friend Tonya!
Later that night Micah had to work late so we went for a drive to look at the lights. When we returned P.J. the elf had dropped off our pajamas.

He must have also told Santa that Micah had to work on Christmas, so they were nice enough to bring our Christmas early. We opened all of our presents on Christmas Eve.

Christmas day we went to see Grandma and Grandpa Cottle. We ALL (except Lacey) got a bare back horse ride! Yeehaw!

Kody and Grandpa were twinners in their overalls!

Sunday we went to Grandpa and Grandma's ward.

Christmas Sunday and a trip to SLC

These are the Christmas outfits! I should have taken the picture before church, but they are still cute!!

They are growing up so fast!!
Then on Tuesday, Micah had the day off so we decided to take the kids down to temple square! It was beautiful and the kids had a lot of fun. We rode the trax, saw the mini model of the temple, looked at the fountains, watched a few presentations at the visitor center, saw the nativity that was set up, went in the old tabernacle, gazed at the christus, and waited until they turned on all the lights. We just went down and back in a day, but it was amazing and memorable. I hope the kids will remember forever.

Throwing penies in the fountain!

I LOVE this picture!

The lights on that one tree probably have 5X the lights as our house. I bet hanging all those lights took so much time!!
