Christmas time is near...

Well we got an inch or so of snow today and it inspired me to take a pic of our new home which then turned into photos of the house. So I thought I would share our new home with all of you fine folk. Hope you enjoy...

Our cute home with snowing starting to fall and our Christmas lights on. I know its a bit to light out to fully appreciate them, but Todd did an awesome job putting them up!!

Our fun tree...

And our lovely kitchen!!

So there you all have it!! Our new home, I still have a lot to unpack but is finally beginning to feel like home. Just in time of the holiday season!!! Merry Christmas!!

We are alive...I swear

Alright so I know it has been forever and a lot has happened since...HALLOWEEN (that feels like so long ago) but a lot has been going on here in Utah so I haven't had the chance to give the proper attention to you, my blog followers. But I am here now and will update you on a few things that have happened. So pop the popcorn, sit back and relax, and enjoy the show....

Well first and foremost we have moved into our new home and are lovin it. We were lucky enough to move in before Thanksgiving so we got to have a lovely dinner in our new home. My sister came down from Idaho and we all got to celebrated together. It was a lot of fun. Per my sisters Thanksgiving request we went and visited temple square.

Maegan and I's bum's who wanted to give a sweet smile...
This was Maegan first trip to temple square since we were kids and unfortunately they were closing at six but fortunately we got to walk around and see the important things!!!

Well there is a ton more, but I don't have the pics to back them up yet, so I will have to leave you with this cliffhanger.

Until next time.....

Happy Halloween..

Well my favorite holiday has come and gone. Todd and I were lame and didnt dress up or pass out candy. Instead we went to the Mother and Father-in-laws to help them with their halloween fun! They both had to dress up for work so they had super fun costumes! Nathan and Dylan came over to say happy halloween in their cute outfits too. It was a very fun and exciting Cottle Family Halloween. Mike and Sue dressed up as the Cat and the Hat and a Pirate!! Aarrgg

Nathan dressed as a Storm Trooper and Dylan as a Horse!!! Cute little boys aren't they?!

Grandpa and Nathan fighting while trying defending their honor! Nathan kept saying 'I have gone to the dark side'!! The whole family getting ready to eat pizza and watch Evan Almighty!!

Halloween was fun this year! Just wait till next year though Todd has agreeded to dress up!!

**Just as a side note my sweet adorable little brother who used to beg me to buy him fish in Walmart and loved to cuddle and watch movies with me dressed up this year in a rather interesting costume!

Dallin is a zombie convict!!! Super scary chunky!!

Cha Cha Slide

This could be the funniest commercial I have ever seen. I would like to dedicate this blog to all the Young Women and Young Men in the Spring Hill TN ward. Every single dance we went to I would drag them to the center of the floor and make them do this dance with me. (yes some actually needed me to "encourage" them) It was by far my favorite moment at the stake dances, well except for when we started the mosh pit to All American Rejects 'Swing Swing'. I miss them TONS, so here you guys go, love you!!

The little boys expressions in this cracks me up!! When I saw it for the first time I could not stop laughing!! Rock on McDonald's!! I might start eating there again just because of this commercial!

We are movin' on

Thanks to our good friend Brittany Nabrotzky we found the area we want to call home. Its north of the Salt Lake valley, in a little town called Syracuse. Its near Antalope Island and borders the Great Salt Lake. After a couple of try's we finally landed the home of our dreams. It has a little for Todd and a little for Brittany...



This is our 6th move in under 3 years and we can officially say WE ARE DONE!! (or at least for a little while anyways) We are are moving in the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Man move and prepare a Thanksgiving meal..I must be the complete package. (or at least thats what Todd tells me) We will update with more photos once we start moving in and get a little more settled.

Upgrade..

After a many three and half years, two batteries and 2 extended batteries the time had finally come. It was hard to say goodbye but we both knew it was best. Goodbye LG 6100 and hello new LG enV!




So there you have it. I defiantly got an upgrade. No longer can all of you make fun of me and say my phone is prehistoric!! I know this is a bit of a silly blog but this was a HUGE step for me!

And the Angels Came Down from Heaven and Sang a Beautiful Song..

The day has finally arrived!! All you pickle lovers out there have many reasons to be thankful this Thanksgiving. My Aunt Amy (really my friend/sister from another mister) was shopping out in Phoenix and stumbled over this and thought I might like to see. Well did I ever, not only am I excited but I wanted to give you guys a reason to get excited. So without further ado I would like to introduce you to the greatest idea of all time....


Yes it's what you think. Dill pickles in pudding snack packaging. This means we can now have pickles anywhere we are. We can travel and not have to go without feeding our craving! Man today is a great day!
