Here is an updated pic of Zander. He is the most sweet, happy baby. I see him smile, and it just makes me melt. Then I want to munch on his cheeks!

Aiden turns 9!
I can't believe I have a nine year old! It makes me feel old each time I even think about it. But Aiden is a good boy that loves life.
He loves sports like crazy. He continues to tell me how he is the fastest, best kicker, best shooter, best soccer player in the whole third grade. (We need to work on being a little more humble) He loves playing with Cruiz, building anything (especially legos), and can out eat his mom (and that's saying something). He loves to tell jokes, and will talk to anyone. He does well in school and works hard.
Here is the tank cake I made Aiden this year. For Birthdays at our house, my boys get to pick what we have for breakfast, and for dinner. Then they get to pick what kind of cake I make them. Lately though, my boys seem to want whatever they had the year before, and don't come up with anything new on their own. So when Aiden told me he wanted another race car cake, I decided he would like a tank cake even more. And he did!
Aiden cracks me up. The other day I was at a Relief Society enrichment night, and the bishop's wife Mary started telling me how she loves my boys. (I visit teach her) Anyway, she told me that on Sunday after Sacrament meeting where she gave the closing prayer Cruiz ran and gave her a huge hug around her legs, and told her hi. Then Aiden goes walking by her and says, "Nice prayer." And then he walked off. I laughed my head off when she told me that. I love that kid.
Halloween
So our costumes this year are a little lame, unless you haven't seen us dress up before. Then they might seem cool. But since I actually made these costumes for me and Caleb 2 years ago they are old news. But at least my boys look cute as Mario and Luigi. Aiden complained the whole time about not being able to pick out his own costume too. But Caleb rigged up a portable speaker for Aiden to wear in his pocket that played music from Mario on the nintendo. It was sweet! We would be walking around and somebody would walk by, stop and look around, then try to figure out where the music was coming from.
Cute little Zander was a clown, but kind of ended up looking like a little baby girl.
Caleb and I were Barbie and Ken again this year because I didn't want to take the time to make new costumes. But I felt it was okay since we live in St. George now where no one has actually seen these costumes. We also had our annual Halloween party, and that was super fun too!

Baby, Baby, Baby
I'm updating my blog everyone, wahoo! I couldn't leave out that I had a sweet baby boy born into our family. We named him Zander Caleb Cottam, and he weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. My smallest baby so far, which made labor and delivery much easier. Plus, he was almost 2 weeks early so I'm glad I had him when I did, or I could have a 10 pounder on my hands.
