Fun Weekend

So I turned the BIG 30 on Thursday. I have to say turning 30 was easier than 29...I don't know how that works either but oh well. My niece Brieanna came up that day so she watched the girls while Hyrum took me out and I'm so glad he did because we had a great time(except for the photo enforcement zone we flew through...I looked great that night so I'm sooo not worried!)Thanks Babe for a great time! Then the rest of my girls(Mom, Jay and Stef)came up to celebrate my birthday...okay so they came up for NEW MOON and our 2nd monthly girls night that we started last month:) Mom acts like she doesn't have any idea what the whole Twilight saga is about so she stayed home with Hyrum and the girls while my good friends Donna and Misty, and sisters Stef and Jay, my niece Brie and I went to the movie. We had a great time. Thanks for coming ladies.

Halloween

Dorthy, JoJo, and a Lady bug

Alli's star isn't so spooky is it?

Since the trunk or treat was just around the corner we let them all ride in the back with Aunt Shea aka "Thing 3"

Word to the wise, buckle up your lady bugs or they will get loose in your car.

Papa and Grandma Cottrell came up yesterday afternoon and had Halloween with us. Uncle Jared and Aunts Miranda and Shea came up too. We were excited to see Uncle Jared, haven't seen him for a long time since he's been sailing around the world doing Navy stuff. We went to our ward's trunk or treat/dinner and had some smokin' hot chili and cornbread and had a good time. Then we got back to the house, bathed the kids and put them to bed, then raided their candy buckets and tried to find a good Halloween movie on but there wasn't any! (Dish Network stinks) So we put a movie of ours on and all fell asleep. We missed our annual family Halloween get together this year! All the cousins on the Cottrell side would come up to Tucson and trick or treat in our neighborhood and eat pizza. I missed seeing all the cute little kiddos in their costumes! We're going to have to figure something out next year guys so all the cousins can get together again!
