Our trip to Salt Lake

A week ago, we got a chance to go to Salt Lake. We stayed with my uncle for a couple of nights and then we stayed with Cody's cousin for a couple of nights. It was nice to get away although the reason we went there was because Cody's Grandpa passed away and we went for the funeral and also my Grandpa broke his hip and was in the hospital so we went to see him. We will sure miss Grandpa Davies!

We were there over Valentines Day. And Cody got me a new camera. I was super excited about that. I love it!!!! So we have a ton of pictures because I was learning how to use our new camera. The pictures above were taken at my uncles house.

Our baby chicks

We are the owners of 10 baby chicks. They are so cute and fluffy now, but I know they will get big fast. The kids absolutly love them. We already have some chickens in a chicken coup in our backyard that Cody built. And it has been fun collecting eggs each day. The kids love going out with Dad to get them. I never thought that I wanted chickens but it has been kind of fun. I know crazy huh!

Weekend Project

We decided to put the girls in the same room and see how it goes. I wanted to do something fun with their room so we came up with this and Cody and I painted their room over the weekend. The taping took longer than the painting, but I like how it turned out and so do the girls. I am hoping that Cadence might actually want to go to bed now (yeah right). I still need to do some touch up work and hang some pictures but I'm sure you get the idea.

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.

Cody and Cadence,

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.
