My blog is not forgotten

I've just been a little bit busy!  We bought a bigger house in the last week and it's been crazy ever since!  I promise more posts...very soon!

Weekend trip - Fossil Rim

It seems as if we make a trip to Fossil Rim every year, probably because it's so fun. The kids really enjoy it and look forward to feeding the animals, especially the zebras and giraffes. It was a BIG disappointment that we didn't get close to the zebras and giraffes. We were about 10 minutes too early. They were off in the distance and made no effort to come our way until we moved to the next set of animals and there is no turning back. You know what that means right? Another trip this year ;-)

One of the animal keepers was chuckling at seeing the boys hanging out the window.

I tried to be brave and feed the ostrich - but at the last minute I rolled up my window and both Lauren and I were screaming!

Logan's turn

Ian had to wait until the very end of the tour to see one of his favorites - a Wildebeast

One of the many Rhinos

I know my entries to this blog are few and far between.  It's been quite the change to the household since the boys are no longer napping.  No longer do I get to pick up the house for the 2nd tornado and dinner is never prepped - and therefore my blogging has suffered since I'm so exhausted after the boys go to bed.  But sport season is coming up and the boys are playing blastball and Lauren has already started Lacrosse.

I forgot!!!! Halloween 2012

Looking back over my blog I see that I totally spaced out putting up what we did on Halloween. I also noticed that I was having trouble with blogger so it's not totally my fault ;-)

pumpkin carving

I wore Lauren's costume from last year for a costume party.

The scooby doo gang (well minus Velma)

Christmas 2012

There were many activities this Christmas and since it's now mid January as I'm finishing this post I probably can't remember what we did.  So I will just leave with with a ton of pictures that I already have uploaded!  Man, I really need to get better at this ;-)


Logan and Travis "helping" put out the outside decorations.....notice the shorts???

Travis and Ian putting decorations on the tree.

Logan was asleep and I had to wake him up to decorate the tree.

Let the chaos begin...at Nana's house on Christmas Eve

The big hit of the night....the castle.

Christmas morning

Logan with his new white puppy!

Lauren was just as busy as we were at opening the plastic from the boys toys.

Hungry, hungry hippos!

AND...we got snow on Christmas Day.

See Travis on the right of the pic...yup he slipped on the ice/snow and landed right on his bum.

New Tab...New Project

See that tab at the top of the postings?  Yeah the one that says Project 365.  I've been thinking about doing this project for a few years and I just haven't done it; you know I have nothing else to do.  I've finally decided to start the project next year on January 1.  The deal is that I will take a picture every day of the year and post it.  It could be of the kids or something cool that I find that day.
I'm hoping that I can keep up with it after the honeymoon period.  The boys and Lauren are growing so fast that I sometimes feel that I'm missing things and maybe sitting down on New Years 2014 and reviewing the pictures will become a tradition in the Scott household!

Christmas photos

As the boys get older we get out during the holidays more and more. This year we have been busy with all the activities a big city offers around the Christmas season.

This picture was taken with the gingerbread man in McKinney during their Christmas celebration called "A Dickens of a Christmas"

I happened to stop by for some personal items at our local pharmacy chain store...and who do I run into? Our lawn maintenance guy, Jimmy. He was dressed as the Grinch and was offering pictures. I got my picture taken too, but I'm not posting that one! He encouraged me to bring the boys up..almost insisted!























These pictures were taken with "The Big Guy"! He is famous in these parts of the woods.  We travel almost 40 minutes just to see him.  And he is in this cool bookstore and the line is minimal because you can check in online.  Wonderful advances to seeing Santa!!

I soo love this one!  This Santa takes his time with each kid!!

The kids are home for the next two weeks and Travis woke up this morning asking "where we going?" UGH...it begins. The boys keep asking if it's time to go to Nana's house (for Christmas Eve)...it's Halloween replaying over and over. I do so remember the days leading up to Christmas being so slow!

 Merry Christmas!

Testing

I've been having issues with Blogger with not being able to upload any more pictures without paying for it.  After clicking on one of the blogs on my blog list I see that she is back to posting like I am.

So I'm going to upload a few random pictures to see if this works.

Travis' wish list

My mini me

$50 worth of face painting.  I couldn't say no after hyping it when we saw another kid earlier in the day!

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT.....I'm back without having to upload pics to another site to link back to my blog!!!
