In the spirit of the Olympics, I thought I would post a video of one of Camden's ski races. He is loving all the skiing he has done this year. Who knows where this will go, but for now it has been a lot of fun. Way to go CAMDEN!

January Fun
Well, January has come and gone and I am a little slow in posting our months events. We have stayed busy with Volleyball, Cheerleading and Skiing. We will stay busy with these activities for the next couple months. Our busy schedule will certainly make the long winter go by faster.
Brynnley had her first volleyball tournament the 22nd and 23rd. They ended up playing all their games at the Factory in Lehi. They took 4th in their pool Friday and then 1st in their pool Saturday morning. Then the tournament started, the played 2 different teams before they were done. They played well for the first time playing together. I'm sure there will be some big improvements next time we see them play. Way to go girls!
Brookelyn had a cheer competition at Cottonwood on the 16th and at South Town Expo Center the 23rd. They took 2nd at Cottonwood and then 1st at South Town (beating the team that took 1st at Cottonwood). Way to go girls! Next month will bring Riverton and Dallas.
Camden had his first ski race at Park City on the 16th. The Tattons joined Camden, Blake and Brynn for some skiing at Park City the day of his race. Once Brookelyn was done cheering that day I ran her up to make a ski run with Morgan at Park City. She was pretty tired so one run was all she needed. Camden had to get a new helmet to race and was pretty pumped about his new helmet. He is really loving skiing. February will be races at Brighton and Snowbasin!
Any free time we have from volleyball tournaments and cheer competitions we have spent skiing with the whole family. It has been fun to see the kids and myself get better on skis. We are going to have some fun for lots of years on the mountain.

New Years 2009
Well for New Years Eve we packed the day with some great fun. For the afternoon we went for a snowshoe walk with the family and Jeff and Becca up in the foothills of Ogden. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time playing in the snow!
After our little snowshoe adventure we went to enjoy a little basketball at Weber State. Go Wildcats! A bunch of the Watkins family was there to enjoy the game as well.
After the game we headed with Ryan, Melissa and Ryker for some yummy pizza at our favorite pizza place, Arella! Yummy food! Once the bellies were full, we came back to our place to rock out to some band hero and play games. Ryker can rock with the best of them!
At around 10, we packed on all the snow gear again and headed to the golf course for some good old moonlight sledding. The kids, the dog and the adults had a great time!
Once we got back from sledding we had some chocolate fondue and treats with the kids.
At midnight we enjoyed a toast, fireworks and lots of noise and crazy kids running through the streets. It was a great time and we look forward to what 2010 will bring. If it is as good as 2009 it will be a great year!

Can you say INVERSION!
In the month of December, the Wasatch front had quite the inversion (smog) covering the valley. Some days it was hard to want to leave the house, to go down into the yuck. This picture was in the Standard Examiner showing this great little neighborhood in South Davis County that wasn't in all the yuck! Yep, that's our house!
December 2009
Wow! December is gone and now it is 2010! So I guess I better post all the events from the month of December. This could be a long one!
A new family member arrived! My sister had a little girl! Avery Jo Kotter was welcomed to the family on Dec. 10th. It's so fun to have a new baby around to remind me that yes, I'm done with this stage of my life.
We have done a lot of skiing this month. Camden joined the Snowbasin Ski Team this year, which will mean a lot more skiing for everyone and a few ski races for him. It should be a fun adventure for all of us.
Of course we made an annual visit to downtown. We visited temple square and even got in some ice skating at Gallavin Center.
Christmas Day is always fun. We spend the morning as a family opening gifts and then head to our awesome friends, the Clarks, for a yummy Christmas morning breakfast. It is always so fun for the kids to see their friends and share their stories and new gadgets. Around lunch time our parents make a visit to see the kids and all their loot! The kids love to just hang out at home and play with the new toys. Later that day we head to Ogden for the Watkins Christmas party, which is actually more breakfast. So fun to see all the kids and do the gift exchange there. I enjoy what our Christmas days have become.
More Christmas parties! We had the Godfrey party at our house this year. We had a great time playing wii, eating yummy food and of course opening gifts.
Over the Christmas Break we got in some skiing with some of the Watkins family. It so fun to see the kids get more independent and the slopes. The boys had a great time cruising around. It was a great day!

Thanksgiving
Wow! It's already Thanksgiving! We got to spend this Thanksgiving at the Watkins with the whole gang! It was so fun to see and be with everyone and enjoy a great meal of course. Before the annual feast, since the skiing wasn't too great, I talked my family into a Turkey Trot. Some were more excited than others, but off we went to the Farmington Turkey Trot. We met the Mattson family there, who all ran the 5k with me. I ran the 5k (my first one every, scary huh), and the kids and Blake ran the 1k. They all did great, some enjoyed it more than others (ok maybe just me). Needless to say it was a great way to work off a few extra calories before we consumed many more than our share.
Here are a few photos from the race.
After dinner we all played the bi-annual family kickball game. The kids love it and are getting much better than in previous years. Soon we may have to move to the park so the kids have more room to really give the ball a boot! Overall, a great day! We have much to be thankful for and always appreciate a day to help us remember how blessed we are.
