Sand Dunes

Cohen lately has been asking for a dirt bike for his birthday but we told him that before he could get a dirt bike he had to wear a dirt bike helmet. He hated the dirt bike helmets before and would not wear him. Once we told him that he couldn't have a dirt bike until he wore one he finally gave in and put on my helmet. Now that's all he wants to do is wear my helmet.
Kenzley is quite a bit more spoiled then Cohen as a baby. We would never let Cohen sleep with us in our bed. Kenzley has been sick lately with a stuffy nose and cough and is not sleeping as well as she usually does so we have let her sleep a little bit with us. She looks so small in our bed.
Here is Kenzley's first pigtail!
I love how she is relaxing her foot up.
Cohen said, "Mom take a picture of me holding Kenz"
Cohen cracks me up. I had to go to Costco to stock up on some stuff for the dunes and I told Cohen that, well he got confused and thought we were going to the dunes. Lets just say he was pretty upset with me when I pulled into Costco. He was so mad that we weren't at the dunes and did not want to get out of the car. I said well Kenz is coming in, then he got upset and wanted to come inside. He gets so excited to go to the dunes he clenches his fists and shakes them and says I so excited. It's adorable. I'm glad that we can do this as a family together!Cohen driving his truck at the Sand Dunes
I took Cohen for a ride in the razer. I think he had more fun laughing at me screaming. I love that he can ride with us now, it makes is much more fun.
Dallas jumping his dirt bike.

Cohen posing with the girls. He loved playing with them.



Cohen watching Ryker ride his dirt bike and he wanted to go so bad. He would follow them everywhere.

CJ and Jackie came down with us. It was fun to watch them since they have never been to the dunes before. It was a whole new experience for them.



We almost got Cohen to ride Rykers dirt bike but he didn't want to wear the helmet so he backed out.
Uncle CJ and Cohen. The other day I asked Cohen what his name was and he says Cohen Jackman and then he goes to say I not a man I a big boy. CJ was there and told him to say Jackboy. Now he goes around saying his name is Cohen Jackboy.




The ride home from the dunes we sure wore Cohen out.
Even into the next day he fell asleep while eating dinner.
Kenzley even likes playing with Cohen's monster trucks.

Cohen thought that was pretty cool, that his little sister would play with him!

Kenzleys Blessing

Today was a great day! We were able to bless Kenzley and both her and her Daddy did such a good job! I was so excited that she didn't cry because she got sick Friday morning with a congested nose and a little cough so my heart has just broken for her since there isn't much I can do to make her feel better. But she did great and daddy gave her a good blessing. I even got up and bore my testimony which I haven't done in years and boy was that scary there were so many people there and I get such anxiety speaking in front of people but I was so full up the spirit and so thankful for my many blessing that I have been given that I needed to express it. I absolutely love my family and our so grateful that me and Dallas are able to raise them! Thank you so much to all of our family that came and helped with breakfast and for making the early trek down to our house to support Kenzley in her big day we really appreciate it.

Isn't she gorgeous I just can't get over her. And this is the only picture I could get of Cohen with her. Still cute though.
Mommy and daughter I can't tell you how much joy she brings to our family. She definitely is my little princess.
This is Daddy and Kenz afterwards we all zonked out. Cohen snuggled with Dal on the couch and I snuggled with Kenzley. Life can't get much better than that!

Grandma and Grandpa Utley
My Dad and my grandma and grandpa Cottrell. We are glad that my dad was able to fly in from Kentucky for this event and also that my grandma was able to come just 10 days ago she came down with Beals Palsy which is so random because my Grandma has always been so healthy. So it I think from what I understand paralyzed one half of her face but we were glad that she came down and hope she can recover soon.

So funny CJ was teaching my grandma how to race a car or something on his itouch. It was funny watching her act like she was driving.
What a sweet Daddy Kenzley already has him wrapped around her finger. I am so grateful my kids have such a great Dad.

Dallas and his cute sister Stacy. They drove up from St. George and we love spending time with them when they come to visit. So glad they came up. Cohen just love love loves them. He would say he was so excited to see all of them and he has so much fun playing with them but he has a really hard time when they go back home and doesn't understand that they can't come and play everyday.
