A big week at the Cota house

Last week was a big week at the Cota house. Little Ed had another awards assembly and got his first Perfect Attendance award ever and most exciting a Physical Education award from his P.E. teacher.We know he is our superstar but love that others see how special he is as well. While we were waiting for the assembly to start I managed to get a picture of Diego at his best. Unfortunately, I have no pictures of Ed receiving his awards because my batteries died so the Diego shot is all I got. Another very exciting and amazing accomplishment was Big Eddie celebrated ONE YEAR SOBER December 5th. We are very proud of him and his accomplishments and for all that he does for our family! We celebrated his accomplishment at Tahoe Joes with my parents which we all enjoyed. WE LOVE YOU DADDY! I LOVE YOU BABE!

Another exciting event is Lil Ed has decided to run for Attendance Officer at Harloe. We are very proud of him and are having fun with the campaign. He had to make posters and next he has to prepare a speech to present to the school. He took this upon himself and although there are alot of kids running it's all about having fun!

On Friday we were able to play in the snow here in Pismo Beach and got to see Santa and tell him what we wanted for Christmas.

All about sports

We just finished Lil Ed's soccer season which was fun and eventful. Big Ed was assistant coach which he enjoyed as did Lil Ed, now on to basketball. When I went to sign Lil Ed up they needed coaches so I decided to help the league out and signed up Big Ed to coach :) . We have had two games thus far in which both Big Ed and Ed have enjoyed. Big Ed has been a very positive coach and Lil Ed is playing well and making amazing shots all the team needs is a better name besides "yellow". As of now we haven't won but I tell the boys the season has just begun.

The same evening after a long day I was able to capture this adorable picture of Lil Ed and Diego watching Avatar, I know Diego is a bit small but he loves watching TV!

Thanksgiving 2007

The pictures above are from our first Thanksgiving at home! Usually we travel far but this year we had the pleasure to spend this special holiday with family. Big Ed had the turkey duty which happened to weigh in at 24 lbs. I was very nervous considering the turkey is the main dish but of course the turkey was amazingly moist and delicious!! I included a picture of the men trying to carefully remove it from the oven (that was a little scary). It was such a pleasure to have both my family and LeRoy's family all together in one home. It was especially nice to have Great Grandma Dorothy their in which she loved spending time with Diego. On Thanksgiving weekend Diego had his first car trip to Eddie's mom house. We were able to spend quality time with Lil Ed's and Diego's cousins. The following photo is all the cousins but not including baby due in the beginning of January, mommy being Kweeks.Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
