Logan's Friday BK PARTY

Logan was so excited to have his birthday party at Burger King. I am not much for kid parties but he really wanted one. (He loves going to parties and he wanted to celebrate with his friends.) It ended up being just what I could handle for this year. He loved it so that is what counts.
He gave everyone hugs for his presents.
I think in this picture he is finding Lauren he loves the remote control car she gave him.
Una is one of Spencer's co-workers and our family friend. Logan loves her and she was sweet enough to come even without having children of her own. She of course spoils him and he sure appreciates it.
This was Logan's jeep cake...it was cute he said "like Grandpa's old Jeep mom not his new one!"
They were all really calm and enjoyed coloring together.
Logan I still am in shock that you are 5~ I am so proud of you. He was so cute with all his little friends. Addy was right in there with the big kids. She is sure going to miss him next week!

Mario Cake

Addy got a Mickey cake for her birthday so naturally Logan thought he could request whatever he wanted for his.... Enter Mario!






Its a meee Mario!

Happy Birthday Logan

Happy 5th Birthday Logan! We can hardly believe that you have been with us for 5 years. I can still remember holding you while you slept. You were so quiet and calm.
When you were a baby, you loved to take naps in the warm sun. I think you still do:)
Ever since you were small you loved water and loved bubble baths. Now you are a little fish. I cannot believe how well you swim. This year you did so well in your swim class even though you were the youngest student.
Logan you have always loved going to baseball games, amusement parks and museums.
You have always been a master of displaying exactly how you felt with your face. We love it when you are happy, but we can't help laughing when you get upset:)

Logan you have spent over a year of your five years in Korea. I love to watch you play and enjoy your time here. You have always found a way to have fun no matter where you are.
Playing in the snow last winter was a blast, I hope that the snow keeps me home to play with you again this winter.
Logan you are one handsome kid!
I love how you dress up in funny clothes for pictures.
Only five years old and you have already defeated Darth Vader twice at Disneyland. Thanks for joining our family and making us so happy. We love you! And thanks for being my pal forever.

And then there were 5

Some of you may have noticed a little addition to our blog title in the form of "?"

It is only because we are expecting a little addition to our family! Introducing Cottrell baby #3, due to arrive early March. WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!

Being Silly

They were in the mood for taking pictures. So here are a lot because I have a hard time choosing!

Logan give me a kiss right here.....
So nice.
I love that smile and the happiness in his eyes!
You are a one silly kid! Hi space alien.
Tickling Addy.
Silly faces. Addy kept looking over at Logan to see how to make the faces.

Bern sent this dress to Addy for her birthday and she loves it. Cinderella is one of her FAVORITES! :-)

Our pretty princess.

Camp Humphrey's Water Park with Jocey

We had such a great time going down these slides over and over. Addy & Logan both had a blast and of course we loved having Aunt Jocey with us. I wish she was here to go again. It was nice my friend Laura drove and no we didn't have any bus potty issues like last summer.

Logan thought it was so fun to dump a ton of water on Jocey.
This was at the end of our day and Addy was tired and ready to go home. I love that face!


Spraying water on Jocey was a blast.......what would I do without her.

It makes me so happy that Addy & Logan both enjoy water. We have had a lot of fun. Someday we have to go to Utah in the summer and go to Seven Peaks again.


Big Squeeze! This was another one of our many adventures. We sure had a blast. I look forward to going again next year.
