Another Fun Saturday!

Amber Posted:
We had another great day. We are all so exhausted now but it was great. We started out going fourwheeling and pulling the kids behind. It was awesome this is just a fun place to live. I love that in five minutes we can be out and in the wide open space. I really enjoy watching Logan & Jade getting dirty and making memories. Thanks Dad & Mom for such a good idea.

Sorry these are out of order. This is tonight after our long day Grandpa & Logan watching You Tube "zip a dee do da". We are so blessed to have such a great family. :-)

It was fun after our dirt adventure we went to Chad and Emilys to have a BBQ it was awesome. There new home is beautiful and it was neat to get to visit them. Brody and Addy are having fun he thinks her binki is something cool.

He is chewing on it and then gives it back to her. It is cute to watch them interact.

Back to our morning outing. Addy on the way home even on our bumpy roads in the jeep fell asleep. She had a blast, I love being outside I just feel like a better mom. It is the best!

Logan and Jade are so brave. They are adorable, they kept rotating turns with the goggles. Cute kiddos.

Addy loved letting the wind blow thru her hair!

Logan is just so chill. The kid is halarious.

Jade couldn't resist the tempation to touch the ground while riding and here is what happened..after this fall Uncle Cam gave lessons on what to do when you fall off.

Uncle Ryan and the kids having a good time. Uncle Ryan is a fun kid himself.

Thanks everyone for such a great trip. We are going to miss you when we leave on Monday.....until next time! (Luckily we get to go to Utah and see all of our family there and make more memories. We are so blessed, get ready Cottrells, and Grandparents.)

Hi from ABQ

This is Addysens first time eating real food. We left Grandpa with Addysen and she woke from her nap hungry and he made her some delicious mashed potatoes and chicken noodle soup. She absoultley loved it. I think the girl is really loving big people food and ready to be done with baby food but she needs some more teeth to help us out.
Pure joy!

Crazy girls with crazy hair.

Good Morning Addy Bri & Bri you both look so good with your mops of hair. What can I say.....two beauty queens.

Jade and Logan love taking baths and Brody just couldn't stand to not be included. We were going to give him a shower and he was so sad so he loved it when he got in too.

Bowling & More Fun

Amber Posted:
We all went bowling the other night for Logans first time!! It was a blast. He was so excited when we first got there he couldn't believe it was REAL bowling. He loves wii bowling but this was incredible. Aunt Tiff has been tons of fun. Addy smiling and having fun playing with toys.

Jade & Logan loved bowling. They are great friends and I just love having cousins around to play with.

I can't wait to go again. Logan was so funny he would take a running start and then let the ball go. One time he set the ball down and tried kicking the ball it was halarious.....what a kid.

Grandma and Grandpa helping us with the little ones that wish they were big.

Aunt Bri and Addysen loving on each other.

Logan thought these shoes were the coolest shoes ever. Fun times in ABQ with the family.

This was awesome Logan was laying on the ground and Durango came and perched on his behind. It was pretty cute. Logan is getting so comfortable with him it is great. He is having fun playing fetch and he says "release" he is enjoying having a dog around.

I loved this picture Addy and Brody both found the kite in the sky when Ryan and the kids were out flying it. Sure excitement on her face!

A little of this and that.

Just a couple more odds and ends! All ready for church.

Addy just out of the shower. She loves her water time. (I think we have another fish on our hands.)

Ryan is so awesome he took the kids out back to fly a kite today after nap time! It sure is great having such fun Aunts and Uncles. We are so blessed!!

This was Logan and Jades first time flying a kite all by themselves.

Logan loves his camera and Durango.

Addysen sure wants to crawl. She is rocking and scooting a lot.

Fun times and great memories we are making. Man I love the weather here.

Fun Filled Days!

Sorry this is not right side up but I tried and it didn't work. It was cute Mom and I went grocery shopping and came home to find Grandpa and Logan watching old, old, cowboy movies. It was cute after that Logan played with Grandpa guns. Then Cam and Ryan took the kids shooting with Jades new gun.

They had a great time. Logan was pretty proud of himself for hitting the target.

The thumbs up have been his thing ever since getting to ABQ.

Thanks guys!

They even went fishing in the morning but I didn't go so I don't have pictures to show. And although they didn't catch a "baby shark" like Logan would say they still had fun. J&J and kids, Spencer, and Judd we look forward to our time together later this year!!

Super Fun Saturday at the Skate Park

Amber Posted:
We had a great time going to the park and having a picnic. Planning our fun outing to the park we had no idea that the kids would migrate over to the skate park instead of the slides and swings. They really had a blast running up and down. Luckily Uncle Cam was there to help pull them up when they needed it. All the kids were filthy when we left but your only a kid once! I wish I would have taken a picture of Logans hands and feet...black as coal. Addysen giving cute smiles and giggles to Grandma and Grandpa.

Logan and Jade are great friends.

I just love this picture with Addy and her chessy grin and then Brody in the background he is the happiest kid ever!!

Here is the four of them. Brody sure wishes he could do everything the big kids could. Addy is starting to get like that a little bit more now that she sees Brody running around. They both just want to keep up.

We are having lots of fun adventures in ABQ. I love the weather I feel like such a better mom when I can get the kids outside to play!! Thanks everyone.

Daddy we love you!

"Good Morning Daddy" that is what Logan is saying in this picture. We are having fun but we miss you..........

Addysen enjoying Durangos company. She likes him so much.

Our happy little girl. She is so sweet and loveable. Logan is getting more and more used to Durango it is neat to see hime warm up.

Ryan is doing awesome at his new job and working really long days so Durango is so happy to see him when he finally gets home. (Check out his huge paw) He loves to lick his face and snuggle.

Brody is the most smily and happy little fellow. Addy and Brody sit and play side by side really well. They are cute and having fun together and this time Brody saw Addysens binki and he kept pulling it out and smiling huge and then putting it back in. Addy is a bit of a fire ball when she is bugged.....I guess you could say she has some sugar and SPICE. Anyhow she got mad at him. It was funny. He thought it was a really cool game she wasn't quite so sure what to think.

This is when we first made it back home after our plane ride. She missed her hubby, here is a HAPPY BREEZY! They are sure cute. Thanks Ryan for letting Bri come and visit us in Maryland. We had a blast and sure miss living close.

We didn't get into Grandma and Grandpas house until 10:30 p.m. and 12:30 am Maryland time. But Addy and Logan were really excited to see Durango. The dog is so mellow and really gentle with the kids. She just laughed and laughed. It was amazing. She seriously just giggled she thinks the dog is pretty cool. I was kinda surprised at her reaction. Grandpa is pretty happy about that. (Check out the dog doing a high 5 with my mom he missed her.)

The plane ride was awesome. Maybe one of the best that we have had. Both kids were so patient! They are so good at flying and really well behaved. It was extra helpful to have Bri and my mom . Logan wanted nothing to do with me or Mom it was all Breezy. It was cute. She is so good with him and they had fun watching a movie and playing together.

It was really nice to not have a full flight because we had extra seats. It was great to have more room. Grandma and Addy had a good time, at one point Addysen was looking out the window on Grandmas lap seeing all the lights and she was about to fall asleep. She did good on the plane she just wished she was in her bed. This girl loves her bed.

I had to post this picture to show how social our Logan is. He was saying hi to everyone in the airport. He talked to this little boy and asked what he was playing looked at the game and then he came and sat at this table. Before I knew it the little boy came over and sat next to Logan let him listen to the head phones while the little boy played. They had a great time and it helped to pass the time.

We are enjoying our time with Grandma, Grandpa, Durango, Cam, Tiff, Jade, Brody, Ryan and Bri. We will have lots more pictures to come. Jade and Logan are playing great and making lots of good memories. I feel bad I didn't get any pics of them playing at Jades house with all of her fun toys but it is awesome to be with family. We miss our other cousins in California wish they were here too! :-) Spencer we love you thanks for working hard for our family.
