Any Resemblance?

Elder Cotter

My brother's mission farwell was today. He will be serving in the Porto, Portugal mission. We are so proud of him and we all love him so much. Benson is a very special person and is going to be an amazing missionary. He is the only person who can make you cry of laughter and spiritual testimony at the same time! Good things!



Good luck buddy! We will miss you! See you in two years!

RBBR 2009

RBBR(Root Beer Burger Run)verb:1. A sickness of both mind and Body.2. The state of being disgusting or wrong.3.What the Cotter and Webster families do for fun.
Our family started a new annual tradition. The "Root Beer Burger Run" aka:RBBR. The official rules are simple, you eat a hamburger, down a can of root beer, and then run a 400 meter lap. Who ever can complete the most laps in 25 minutes wins. Who ever can do it without barfing is our hero! My brothers who I am ever so proud of completed 5 laps in 25 minutes making them the sickest, most revolting contestants of the day. We are so proud, and they have earned our respect! Benson, Brandon...I tip my hat, Well done bro's! As for the spandex-we did that for fun. There's nothing like molesting a hamburger while sqeezing your body into clothes that clearly don't fit you. Here is a run down of the days events:

Like Father Like Son:



My Buddy is One! Happy Birthday Cruzer we love you!

Episode 6:The domination of the Black Team is over.

We knew this day would come. It is hard to be dominators like Dane and Blaine are and not have a target on your back. Dane and Blaine absolutely crushed the competition the first five weeks losing a total of 140lbs combined. It was an amazing ride, but unfortunately all rides have to come to an end. Blaine was the best teamate a person could have. These two guys are hilarious together and I know this experience has made them both better people. I have never felt so emotional watching an episode of Biggest Loser. I wanted cry out loud for Mandi, Aubrey and Blaine. I wanted to run into my TV and hug Dane. After they told Blaine he was not the Biggest Loser Alisson looked at Dane and said, "Dane do you have anything you want Blaine to tell your family?" Dane said,"tell my wife..." then couldn't say another word. I know exactly how he felt. I love that Dude! This experience has shown me just how much. I am a better person for this experience as well. I could cry right now thinking about all the times I missed Dane too much, but it has been well worth the sacrifice. I see first hand just how hard these two work, and I hope the best for them-their is no one more deserving, and they are so worthy! Up next the Iron man.

Episode 5

FINALLY!!!What a great episode. I loved it all! I saw workouts, I saw Dane (they even let him talk), I saw Joelle get what was coming to her, and I saw lives changing. This was great! I'm glad that all the contestants are back and Dane and Blaine can win prizes again. I hope you are all enjoying this season as much as we are. We appreciate everyone's support!

The Suckathon

Dane and I ran a marathon on Saturday...and it sucked! Really really bad! I'm glad that it is over and we are recovering. I can't remember a time that I have felt more pain in my feet then that last 5 miles of the race. I kept thinking to myself, people are crazy, this hurts and I am never doing it again! Well...I just found a marathon in April and I plan to run it! I guess I got over that quickly. I said the same thing while I was in my 35th hour of labor with Cotter and well we all know what happened 17 months later. At the end of the day I guess I have the ability to remember the reasons I ran it in the first place. It was an experience worth the pain. It was amazing to run that marathon side by side with Dane. I am so stinkin proud of him, never in my life did I think we would experience this together. He recovered faster than I did and he is even crazy enough to want to run the April marathon with me. He is in fantastic shape and I think he loves to show those who may doubt him, just how crazy in shape for a big guy he actually is. He has gotten back into his workout routine and hasn't even missed a beat! It was also fun to run this marathon with Benson and Tawni. My brother Benson leaves on his mission to Portugal February 18th so this was our last hoorah before we send him off. Tawni, Dane and I started running together a couple months ago and it will be fun to make this an annual thing together. Hopefully it gets easier, and next time I wont be shoving all those energy bars Dane said I needed into my bra. I was a very uncomfortable 32DD. Biggest loser sent a camera crew down to film the race. It was nice feeling like a celebrity for a little while to...even if I wasn't the reason the cameras were on me. Dane has gotten used to having cameras on him 24 hours of the day and not caring but I couldn't help but feel very aware of the fact I was wearing spandex the whole time they were around! Suck it in baby! The best part of the race had to be the finish line and all our family in their biggest loser shirts cheering us on. Cotter ran the last 20 feet of the race with us and as I crossed that finish line and saw all our family there to support us I felt so blessed! We have the best family in the world!
