Zoo and Aquarium

While Cohen was on Spring Break, we were able to go to the zoo and the new aquarium with them. It was so much fun to play with them! We took Cooper to the zoo with us and all the kids had so much fun. The kids were running to all the animals, we had to tell them to slow down or else we would have been done way too fast. 

I said smile so of course Jackson sticks his tongue out...

At the aquarium we were able to watch them feed the penguins. That was really fun. There was a lot of fun things to look at. There were still some exhibits that were closed so we got a free pass to go back again.

There was this really cool tunnel that we walked through that had sharks, sting rays and lots of other fish to see. That was probably the coolest thing to see at the aquarium.  Jackson liked the animals, but I think he had more fun running up and down the ramps. He is so funny. Always on the go!

After the aquarium, we called Aunt Kelly to see if she could go to lunch. After lunch, we went and walked around the mall for a while and Kelly took Jackson on the train. He loved it even though you can't tell from the picture.

Baby Aliya's Blessing and Conference Weekend

Sweet Aliya was blessed on March 30. She is so cute! Ashli made her blessing outfit when she was sixteen years old. Pretty amazing! We bought this cute shirt for Lee and he looked adorable in it! Our cute Little Man with his tie and suspenders. 

Cute Cayman, she just loves Lee. It is so sweet. She always wants to hold him and give him loves.

CJ had a mission reunion Conference Weekend. His two buddies came up from Arizona and stayed at our house.  They were so funny together. I was quite entertained all weekend. They stayed with us until Sunday morning. Then we drove them to the airport and went to CJ's sister's house for a session of Conference and then came home.

One of Jackson's favorite places to sit is on top of CJ's head. I loved that he just plopped on down and sat there while he played a game on the Ipad. He makes me laugh everyday!

3 Months Old!

Here is some cute pictures of my boys. Lee is now 3 months old!  He is 13 lbs. and 24 inches long. He is growing, but he is a whole two pounds smaller then what Jackson was at this age. He just seems so little to me. Maybe because I have Jackson to compare him too. He is still such a good baby. Jackson has been getting to the point where he now asks me to put Baby down so I can play with him. Poor Little Lee doesn't like that sometimes. Jackson has been very patient with both Lee and I though. 

My Aunt Norma Jean gave me this cute mustache binki. He looks so cute with it!

I have the cutest kids around!

Lee's Baby Blessing

On March 2nd, we blessed our sweet Baby and gave him the name Lee James Cottrell. CJ did a great job on the blessing. It was such a special and emotional day for quite a few of us. We were thinking about two very special men in our lives who were being missed and also giving Lee the name of one of those men. We missed my Dad and Grandpa Lee so badly. It just isn't the same without them, but we are so grateful for the family and friends who were able to be there with us.  We put Baby Lee in CJ's blessing outfit. He looked so cute in it. That made the day even more special. 

Sweet Great Grandma Vincent with her great grandson. I don't remember what number he is, I think 39! We just love her so much and are so grateful she was here for this special day, to hear her husband's name read was so special.

Here is Lee with my brother's little girl, Baby Aliya. They are a month a part and so cute! They will be great friends!

It was a perfect day filled with our favorite people and yummy food. We are so grateful for those that helped and are a part of our family. We love you! 

Baby Lee is 2 Months Old!

Baby Lee is still a little thing, but he sure is cute. He is such a good baby. I thought there was no way we could be blessed with two good babies, but we were. He only cries if he is hungry or tired. We are so blessed that he came into our family. 

Jackson loves to wear these goggles

Jackson does love his Baby Brother so much. I love it when he talks to him. He is so nice to share his blanket with Lee. He is very careful to not cover his face, but Lee of course wants it on his head!
