2 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two weeks is all we had between semesters. Both me and David took summer school and had only two weeks before fall semester started and we were not going to waste it!



My Brother in law Matt invited me and David to go to Lagoon with him and his family since my sister Mandy just had her 5th baby.

It was a sacrifice to go spend a day at Lagoon but you got to do what you can for family. We were so excited we could barely sleep the night before.





















This is one of my favorite shots of David and the boys. Our favorite ride with them was definately the lady bug because Nathan would gritt his teeth every time the lady bug dropped it was hilarious.





























The girls were right there along for anything and everything. Eliza was tall enough to go on the rides but sometimes they would say she needed a buster seat which was even better because then we got in the buster seat line which we were usually the first in line. Loved It!
It was an awesome day I love my fam!









That next morning we left to go to a couples retreat down in St. George with all of my girlfriends and their husbands from high school. It was a blast!!!!
















Not to mention it was David and I's 1 year anniversary. I love him very much.














We went go carting and went and saw Tarzan at Tuacan. I just want to mention that David took first in go carts and I would have taken second but Harve cut me off. I won't get into it but it was ugly.


















Of course the girls stayed up the last night and played I have never. Lets just say I learned a thing or two about my friends.










That next weekend we did the annual Cottrell Bear Lake trip. It was a lot of fun! This is my cute neice Berkley playing in the sand.





































David and I decided to spend an extra night and we decided to invite Jocey because she is awsome and I was so happy when she said yes! We went and saw a movie on a huge outdoor screne and cuddled up in our sleeping bags.

We were able to get an awesome tip on a beautiful camping spot just a few miles away from Bear Lake. I am so greatful I married a man that can handle a tent and look good going it.

The beach was a lot of fun and not to mention the shakes that we get at the end courtasy of Papa Cottrell.

One of the customers at my work mentioned that he had a friend coming in town who just happened to be Dave Matthews and got us some tickets to his concert.

It was incredible. I have never scene him live but it was amazing!

He had these huge screens all over the stage. I saw a man play two sacksaphones at the same time.

We wenting shooting with Papa Cottrell and he let us test out the Judge the look on Davids face is all the explanation needed.

It was really fun watching them shoot off together. I love that I have a great father in law that lets his daugter in laws to the fun stuff too. Guns are the fun stuff fyi.

We ended the weekend on Sunday with a pasta dish that had my fresh herbs in it from my small but powerful herb garden.

can you say mmmm...........

I know life seems pretty hard for the Cottrell home. Well atleast for David he has me as a wife. Jk

Now these are just the moments with photo's we also had great bbq's with our friends like the Plehns and Tweeder (you know who you are). It was a great two weeks but it was only great do to our friends and family I love you all!!!
