The Cotten Family

Cadence's first dance recital

Cadence had her first dance recital yesterday. She did so good and I am so proud of her. She was so cute up on stage. She is really enjoying dance and I think she really like performing. Both of her grandparents came and some other family.

Ho Ho Daddy

Cody decided he wanted to grow out his beard even longer than last year and bleach it out. So after a couple of bleach jobs this is the final result. Kyndee now calls him ho ho daddy. I think it's pretty funny that she calls him that. And she came up with it all on her own. People are starting to ask him if he will make an appearance at their Christmas party. Maybe we could make a little extra money at Christmas time. lol. It's never a dull moment at our house.

Cadence as a fairy

We had a lot of fun on Halloween. For the first time we went trick or treating around our neighborhood. We have always been at my parents house for Halloween. Cody had lots of fun trying to scare everyone he knew. We stopped at our bishops house and Cody jumped out of the bushes and really made the bishop jump. It was pretty funny.

Cadence's brithday party

This was Cadence's 5th birthday party. It's a little late posting these but I thought I would post anyways. I really didn't take too many pictures. Her birthday was on the 13th of Oct. Yeah, I am slacking a little. She wanted to do a farm party. It turned out really cute and I think all the kids had lots of fun. Don't you just love Kydee's face in the first picture. She really enjoyed her cupcake.

My Crazy Kids

These are my crazy kids. Cadence was getting ready for dance and decided that I should take pictures of her. She is such a goofball. I have no idea why she is posing the way she is. The picture of Kyndee by herself didn't turn out very good. My kids love to turn on the music and dance. Oh and don't you just love the farmer tans they got going on. Of course Cody and I have some to match.

Too Funny

So, I was cutting this girl's hair today. And last time we cut it, she brought me a picture of Alice from the movie twilight and I cut it like that. I loved how it turned out. Well, one day she was in a store or something and this little girl passed by her and said "Mommy, look it's Alice". Her Mom said "No, it's just a girl that looks like Alice". And the little says "No, it's Alice. So after hearing that, my client Jamie starts laughing. She told me "I wanted my hair to look like Alice's but I didn't think I looked that much like her". I should have taken a picture! Too funny!

Fun at the firestation

We went out to Ivins firestation tonight. My brother works there. It was lots of fun. They had tons of fun stuff for the kids to do. They had an optical course that the kids had to take a rope through, and had a trailor that filled up with smoke and the kids had to climb out the window. There was a dunking booth, and they could go for a ride on the fire engine, and then they had lots of other activities in the the firehouse. The kids had so much fun. Oh and of course they got to get their picture taken with smokey bear. Cadence has always been terrified of him for some reason so we couldn't talk her into getting her picture taken. I even bribed her. Kyndee would only do it if Cody sat with her.

On another note, Kyndee is scheduled to have surgery on Monday. It's the same thing she got surgery for a year ago. A growth in her mouth on her gums. The growth came back just a couple month ago, which they told us might happen. Although it's minor, it's always so hard to see her go through it. Especially when she comes out of the anesthesia. She gets really upset and it's hard to calm her down. Hopefully it will all go well and I am just praying that this is the last time she has to have surgery.

My little dancer

Cadence started dance a couple of weeks ago. She absolutely loves it! She can't wait to go each week. Her first dance recital is in December. I am so excited and I know that she will do an awesome job!
