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.

Everland with Aunt Jocey & The Paterson's

We had so much fun going to Everland with Jocey and our friends the Paterson's.
If you notice Everland is trying to be Disneyland, we are about to go on a boat ride called International Village similar to It's A Small World.
Addy was sad she couldn't go on the ride like Splash Mountain so the worker gave her a sucker.
Logan & Luke had fun on the Elephant ride (aka Dumbo). They kept trying to hide from Taylor.
Taylor & Logan wanted to ride this over and over I think they ended up riding it 4 0r 5 times in a row.
Addy enjoyed this ride a lot too.
The park was empty which was so nice for us. They are on this ride all alone and it went on FOREVER....while the Korean workers sang the song to them and did a little dance! :-)

Fun on the Carousel.
It was a hot day...not the worst but hot so the kids loved getting wet in the splash park. I had brought Addy an extra pair of clothes and not Logan...he eventually dried. Addy was asleep for this part and didn't even need her extra clothes go figure!

I really love spending time with Spencer!
Beautiful flowers and look at those lights they look familiar! We also went to this really fun seal show and a bird show with everyone.

We took a bus ride thru the African safari. We kept joking that Aunt KR could have just come with us to see the animals. It felt like Jurassic park the bus would pull in and have to wait for the back gate to close then the front would open. We saw tigers, elephants, zebras, giraffes, bears that followed the bus and did tricks for treats. It was fun (kind of sad for the animals, it was just small.)


This I have to say was probably one of Logan's favorites of the day. You pay a dollar and get to feed the birds. He really loved it.



Addy wasn't so sure about the birds but stayed with Spencer the whole time.


Our two headed turtle!




These garbage cans look very much the same as the ones at Disneyland.
We found our hidden Mickey. :-)
It was such a pain having to use a map to know where we were going!

The entrance is very much the same to Disneyland as well. If you can't tell we are Disneyland lovers and can't wait to go in October with the family! Everland was a really fun day and we will definitely be going back.
