October/November

Yeah, yeah...I know...it's been months since I've updated the blog...so this will be a quick recap of what have been up too.....

 A Cruise Night Family Tradition

 Mallory found her love for Frozen Penguin and is a MUST GO when Grandma Iya is in town.

 I celebrated my birthday in North Carolina for work...

 Plus side to work travel in North Carolina....I got to visit with CHERYL LYNN!

 Momma Kitty had kittens.....AGAIN!

 The Cubs made it to the post season....I know...crazy huh?

 How Mallory and I felt about those Cubs getting to the post season and beating our Cardinals!

 U-N-I-T-Y

Homecoming with my very first friend ever....30+ years of friendship right here!

 Throwing up the "U"....with my cousin who is the trainer for the Unity football team, who also made an impressive post-season run!

 Mallory extremely excited to carve a pumpkin...

 Trying to look like a jack-o-lantern.

 This is what happens when Mallory spends the night with Aunt Dana....lol! 

No children were hurt in the making of this photo...or no hair cuts! 

WIN!

 

Mallory had school pictures and rocked it!

 Lane had a birthday party! Turning 4 is fun!

SELFIE!

 The cousins attended a movie together...the first time we took them all together...

PEANUTS!!

 They were soo good and I think everyone enjoyed it.

 I think we need to make this a new tradition....

 Mallory is still enjoying dance and tumbling classes....

 Practicing on the balance beam...

 Cottingham Thanksgiving is never complete without Aunt Dana's minute to win it games...

 Trying so hard

 Not sure what she is looking at but clearly lost focused on the task at hand....

 Bank robber....nope....just the Cottingham Thanksgiving....

 Pencil Tee-pee

 We even had our own personalized coloring sheets....

 I think she was trying to be an Indian....not real sure....

 Just a little Black Friday shopping with mom.....embarrassing Lori in Sam's....I think we need to start wearing Depends when we take mom shopping....it seems as though we almost pee our pants with laughter every time...

A little girl time with Aunt Lori. She bravely let Mallory paint her toe nails and she actually did a really great job!

Coming Up......Vacation To Florida!!!!!!!!!!! Stay tuned.....
