Halloween














I know this is a little late but here are a few pictures of my brother Elijah and my nephew Ethan dressed up for Halloween. Elijah was really excited about his Optimus Prime costume. Ethan was Squirt from Finding Nemo, we got his costume when we went to Disneyland back in September. They both got tons of candy even though there weren't that many people handing out candy this year. I think there were about 4-5 houses down each block handing out candy which sucked but what can you do? Poor Ethan passed out for most of the trick or treating but thankfully we had him in the stroller so no one had to carry him around. I can't believe he is 8 months old! After we went through four blocks we went back home to help hand
out candy, Elijah really liked handing out the candy to the other kids which was cute!

What's New and What's to Come

This is just an update of what I have been up to in the last few weeks. Really I can't remember that far back so we will just start from 10/30 :) Thursday 10/30 was Cooper's bachelorette party which was AWESOME! We bar hopped down Mill Ave which is something I have never done before or ever really thought about doing. I wasn't too sure how it was going to turn out because there were about 20 chicks in the group which always make me a little nervous when there is that much estrogen in a room. Everyone got along great and we all had a lot of fun. We all wore blank tank tops with pink lettering that was hilarious (see if you can make it out in the picture) and "special" little name tags. I gave Coop 150% which wasn't too hard since I am such a light weight when it comes to drinking. We got a free shot of CRAP at one club (kid you not it tasted like cough syrup and brought back memories of when my mom used to have to chase me down and force it down my throat!) and did a little dancing to get the night started off right. By the end of the night I was so trashed I fell off of the toilet and laughed my ass off while my pants were still at my ankles. I really wish I had a picture to remember that because I have never been that drunk and plan on never revisiting that again! LOL. I can't party like that much because I am such a pansy when it comes to drinking and don't like the after effects (being really freaking thirsy, hang overs, headaches, sensitiveness to light, breaking out in pimples, etc). I have a rule, if I go out it has to be for a reason to celebrate, it can't just be to go out and get drunk and I think I chose a pretty good reason to go out. Cooper had the most fun which was the point and I am glad she went out with one last bang to celebrate and wave goodbye to her single days :) That will probably be the last time I go out and drink for at least another year HAHA. Friday was Halloween and a good day to sleep off the night before which I really needed after waking up from a nap. Saturday was the wedding and it was one of the fastest ceremonies EVER! It was awesome and fit Coop to the "t". The reception was really nice and she looked so pretty and happy. That was probably the most excitement I have had in a while. Other then that I am really counting down the days before the move and TWILIGHT comes out - only 13 days to go! I move on the same day the movie comes out! I haven't even started packing so I really need to start getting my butt up to do things otherwise I will be doing everything last minute. I am excited about the move but also sad because I will miss living with my sister and seeing the baby all the time, he is my little chunker and my buddy. That is it for now, enjoy some of the pictures I posted. I will post a couple other blogs in the next 13 days :)
