Happy Birthday Week Elsie!

Happy 2nd Birthday Elsie Cotter! I went to Elsie's birthday party last night. She opened this fairy costume and danced around in it all night. I love Elsie because she is so fun, can body slam, has the cutest laugh, loves her sister Callie and brother Gage, eats as much food as an adult (or more), her smile is amazing, she is so beautiful, etc....... Elsie makes me happy! I love her :) Happy Birthday!!

Dinner with the Girls!

I love my friends! Sheree was in town so we went to California Pizza Kitchen. I have so much fun when my friends get together. Courtney, Tatum, me, Sheree, Krystle (who recently got home from her mission) and Staci went. Good times.

Planet Orange!

So it begins! I have been looking forward to this Suns season for a very very long time. The off season felt like a whole year. The Diamondbacks ended in a disapointing way and I have now looked forward to the Suns! I got to go to the first official preseason game at US Airways Center on Wednesday October 8, 2008. I had a great time! I believe this team can do something special and we have to this season for Hill, Shaq (5th ring), and especially Nash! (and the fans of course; we deserve it) I'm excited for the first official game on October 29, 2008. I have my new good luck charm (superstition item) below in a couple pictures. I purchased my suns shoes that I hope to become my lucky suns shoes! I'm so excited for this season! If you know me you know that my favorite thing is watching a suns game with my family, during Christmas time with the tree up and lights on, the weather being chilly, with pillows to throw at the refs (on the projector wall) when they make a bad call. It is all coming!!! :) GO SUNS!

Bridal Shower for Tatum!

Staci and I threw a bridal shower for Tatum on Friday October 3rd. We had a lot of laughing, chatting, and games! Thanks to everyone that came. I had a lot of fun...I haven't laughed like that in a long long time. Congrats to Tatum!! The big day is coming soon! I'm so happy for her and Chase!

I love boston!

So this last weekend I went to Boston to visit Casey and tour the great city of Boston! I got a taste of the end of summer and the beginning of fall and it was beautiful!

Stalker Horse!

This horse is following me everywhere! So the other day I was talking to my sister and I look behind her and the horse was looking at me through a plant. The next day It was on a shelf looking at me as I read the paper. Finally, yesterday I went to the fridge, opened it, and the horse was looking at me by the lunch meat I was getting to make myself a sandwich. Benson I know has something to do with it, however, my dad thinks it's pretty funny as well. So this is the horse on my dad's desk, on top of his monitor, with a note saying "neeeee!!! Well Hello Ben neeeee!!" I hope he likes it! This horse is amazing! Benson tells me that he thinks toy story is real now because he marvels at how this creature gets from place to place. To this day he says he has nothing to do with it! haha

The Artistic Cotter Patterson

Cotter came to visit me at work today and he drew some pictures for me! This one below is of Kenzie on the far left than, Carli (mom), Papa (Grandpa), Juju (grandma), and than he didn't think it was complete until he added himself on the end. His ears are bigger than his head! haha. I have giant hands and scary teeth! I love his creative side...he certainly has it.

The artist himself!

He never leaves a drawing session with out drawing a T-REX! He is obsessed with every kind of dinosaur right now. I love how fun and creative he is!
