What swine flu?

2009-04-28T23:07:00.018-06:00

Well, we made it back from our cruise to San Cabo, Mazatlan, and Porta Vallarta. We didn't see anyone wearing masks and didn't really hear about the swine flu until we got back. I guess we were lucky we got there and back. Jana's son, Kolby, is scheduled for the same cruise this Sunday, and the cruise line has cancelled the Mexico itinary and are offering to take them somewhere else - not sure where.

Anyway, thought you might enjoy seeing a few pictures of the trip. We really had a great time and enjoyed the time together.

Great White Hunters

2008-10-21T21:48:00.004-06:00

So, I thought I would share the fruits of Jar & Lee's hunt with all of you. They tell me Jar's is called a cactus buck and if you want more information on that, you can ask Jar and dad.

Way to go boys!

Congrats to the marithon runners!

I've been waiting for Shalyse and Phyl to post some pictures, but I guess Nanny will have to do it. Welcome to the fam little Ezra.

Happy Birthday to Hillary

2008-09-16T10:51:00.002-06:00

Happy Birthday, Hillary. Your best present must be having some power again. Now if you can just get some food to put in the refrigerator, right?

I hope you are able to do something to celebrate. I know Brenton said he wouldn't stand in a 4-hour line to buy you a cake, but if he really loves you he would! (Just kidding -Brenton)

Anyway, you are in our thoughts and we hope you have a great birthday, in spite of the situation in Houston. The kids will be glad to be home with you to enjoy your day, I'm sure!

We love you

Susan

Parley Sue is 9! Isn't that just fine?!!

Little jaunt for mom and dad

2008-07-25T20:53:00.003-06:00

So Dad and I have been wanting to take a little trip like we did to Death Valley and so we went early yesterday morning up Cedar Canyon and around to Torrey and spent the night there and circled back around today. It was very nice and we really enjoyed it - it was cooler there, too!

The small rural communities were great, but it made me glad I don't live there. It did make me nostalgic for the Nephi days, as they reminded me a lot of the old Nephi days when you kids were young.

Anyway, here are a few pictures - hope everyone had a great 24th of July.

Two more join the ranks

2008-06-16T22:19:00.006-06:00

Congratulations to Emma and McKayl who became the newest Scotts to join the church. It was a fun day. Thanks for letting me share it with you!

Here are a few pictures of the Houston Scotts new home. It's very nice and we are happy for them. Hopefully you will all get the chance to see it some time soon!

Love Nanny

Playing in the Town Square River

2008-05-07T08:43:00.005-06:00

We had a fun time when Henry was in town. I'm sure his mom and dad had fun, but probably nothing like this!!!! Cooper and Porter, you're next!

2008-05-02T22:08:00.001-06:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
daisy!

Daisy is #1

2008-04-22T09:58:00.003-06:00

WAY TO GO DAISY!!For those who haven't heard, Daisy did the Boston Marathon yesterday in just 4:01.26. Way to go, Daisy. We are all very proud of you. Everyone I've talked to says that is a great time for Boston (or any marathon for that matter). You are to be commended for your hard work and dedication

GOOD LUCK DAISY

2008-04-17T13:44:00.004-06:00

I'd like to think that after having four kids I could qualify for, and run, the Boston Marathon.

Good luck Dais...you'll do great!!!

Wrestling

2008-03-27T07:35:00.002-06:00

If anyone is interested, Coop will defend his title as an undefeated wrestler in the 38lb. weight division THIS Saturday, at Cedar High. It will start around 9am and he wrestles 3 times, it will probably last 2-3 hours. We'd love to see you there!

SHEECE'S BIRTHDAY!

2008-03-19T09:55:00.002-06:00

So, Sheece is 26 years old today. My baby is having babies! Hard to believe. Have a great day, Sheece! We love you! (Sorry, I don't have a current picture on my computer)

Shalyse, our little graduate

2008-03-13T09:02:00.001-06:00

Josh Stanley just sent me this link:

We all should be so proud.

Wrestling Champion

2008-03-01T19:18:00.004-07:00

So we took Cooper to Milford for his first wrestling tournament. He has been practicing the past two weeks and has a hard time concentrating so we had no idea how he would do. Coop weighed in at a whopping 37 lbs and then wrestled three times. The first match he pined the kid in about 45 seconds, the second match they went all three rounds and he won by a score of 15-7 and then the third match he pined the kid in about 20 seconds.

It's hilarious because he just smiles the whole time while he is wrestling. He shakes the kid's hand, they ref tells them to wrestle, and then he shoots in and grabs the other kid's legs. His favorite move is the "cross-face" to get the kid on his back and then he will squeeze as hard as he can until he gets the pin.

Happy Birthday Jar (Jaren) (Jarbo) (Fire)

2008-02-21T11:29:00.003-07:00

So 29 years ago today, after an 11-month pregnancy, our little redhead arrived! We were so glad to finally get him here and he made up for the long time coming, by sleeping and sleeping and sleeping some more.

We love you and hope you have a great birthday! I can't believe how old my children are getting (not me, my children)

Wouldn't it be fun to see Christopher (from Nephi who shared your birthday) again?

Love Mom

2008-02-14T10:11:00.002-07:00

I took Cooper and Porter to the old ranch the other day. We were shooting at targets when Coop noticed the pheasants running everywhere. He asked, "Can I hunt one dad?" I said sure knowing that he rarely hits a still target from 15 feet. So, we sneek through the "East" field and locate a bunch of birds. Cooper shoots twice and misses twice. Then, he tells me he is going to hit a big colorful boy pheasant. Sure enough, his next shot hits the bird in the pic. To finish off the experience, we clean the pheasant, take it home, and eat it for dinner. The boys loved it and tell everyone it tastes "just like chicken".

MO-EE TA-WA

2008-02-04T10:33:00.000-07:00

Congrats to McCall!!! Her drill team took first in region, and went on to take 6th in State this past weekend! MO-EE (clap clap) TA-WA!

Let's Celebrate!

2008-01-30T08:51:00.000-07:00

Maggie had her 18 month doctor's appointment yesterday. Everything went well. She now weighs 20 lbs. 4 oz. Hooray!!! She gained almost 3 lbs since her 15 month appt. Awesome! She even grew 2 inches. Now she is on the charts. 4th% in weight and 8th% in height. We'll take it! So a little shout out to little Maggs.

Region for Mohey

2008-01-23T10:14:00.000-07:00

FYI: Our region competition is this Saturday at Hurricane High School. It starts at 9:30am, but the doors open at 8:30 (i would suggest you come early - seating will be limited). I would LOVE to have as many people there cheering for my girls as possible - so consider this a SPECIAL invitation! Us, Canyon View and Hurricane will compete for a chance to go to State (2 of the 3 teams will go).
Shayne, since Drill Team is considered a Sport in Utah, will you be covering this event for the paper:)? I'll THINK about giving an interview...
Wish us luck!

Cowboy Henry

2008-01-09T20:00:00.000-07:00

Thanks Nanny and Papa. He loves them both (especially when walking in his boots and hearing them hit the wood floor).

Happy Birthday Kate!

2007-12-17T13:09:00.000-07:00

NOT THE ONLY HAIR DRESSER!

2007-12-14T07:52:00.000-07:00

Wednesday afternoon some of the girls on my team had stopped at my house. I was making Daisy's AMAZING apples for a party that night, when Cooper came out from his room to ask me to draw him a gun. This is what I saw...

Cooper had gone into my bathroom for the scissors, then into his bathroom, where he placed the trash directly under his head so he wouldn't get hair on the floor, and cut off his mohawk!

He just wanted his hair flat.

The gun he wanted me to draw was to shoot Brooke's (one of my dancers) boyfriend.

And, YES, we do have family pictures Sunday and his Preschool Christmas Program Monday!

Happy Birthday Brenton

2007-11-28T08:16:00.000-07:00

May all your dreams come true!

PS - If you google Brenton Scott, this is the first image that comes up.

Porter

2007-11-14T09:13:00.000-07:00

So, I got home from a jeans party last night and Jaren asked me to go check on the boys (who had been in bed for an hour.) Cooper was sleeping soundly and Porter was nowhere to be found... until I looked UNDER Coopers bed!

Nanny comes to visit

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Congrats

2007-10-08T12:36:00.000-06:00

I hear all did well on the marathon. Congrats on being holders of multiple library cards to the same library. If you are wondering, I spent Saturday at the beach with the family. I did feel a little pain on Sunday though as I got a bit of a sunburn. I think I'll be OK though.

I would have liked to have seen Shayne and Daisy trying to put their kids to bed on Saturday night. Who had to drag themselves up the stairs? Hope the girls didn't expect to get an extra drink brought up to them that night.

Marathon!

2007-10-03T22:21:00.000-06:00

Good Luck Marathoners! We're leaving town so this is the last chance we'll have to wish you well! I have no advice, and Jaren's is not to poop in the port-a-potty at the bottom of the Winchester hill, and if you do, hope that a nice man is there to help YOU up!

SNOW?!!!

2007-09-24T10:28:00.000-06:00

I know I lived in Logan for four years, and this should come as no suprise, but we woke up and looked out our window to see snow on the mountain tops!...in September!....before the deer hunt!...before the St. George marathon!...2 days or so after Fall begins!...before the leaves even finish changing color!. So we're excited to come down to St. George for the marathon.

(PS Phyllip has a habit of singing Christmas songs from the first time he sees snow until Christmas. It started a little early in Logan, but it looks like it's going to be a long Christmas season this year. The first thing he said when I woke up was "Merry Christmas".)

The picture is at a Utah game, they face USU this weekend...may be a good game. Go Aggies!

Recognize anyone?

2007-09-21T07:45:00.000-06:00

Anyone recognize anyone on THIS site?

For the Record

2007-09-17T08:19:00.000-06:00

Just want everyone to know that from now on I will be calling the artist formerly known as Shayne Clay Scott, President of mapmaking or something, "Ray". As in, Ray Romano. As in, "Everyone Loves Raymond"... the sports writer. Once you do an article on high school golf, it is official. Nice work Ray.

Good Luck, Shalyse!

Christmas gifts...

2007-09-03T14:35:00.000-06:00

I know it's a bit early, but just wondering who has who for Christmas this year. It's never to early to start thinking about that perfect gift for the Heaton family. I think we had scottsintexas last year? We all try to remember who had who last year, but when it comes down to it, Daisy figures it all out for us. Dais, can you help us out here?

Parly's Baptism

2007-08-24T11:09:00.000-06:00

Parly is going to be baptized on Sept. 1st. Everyone is invited to come. The baptism is at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. We will also be having a dinner party (as Parly likes to call it) afterwards at our house....so come and enjoy!

Parly is very excited and would love to share this day with all of you.

Pictures from Pine Valley

2007-08-24T11:06:00.000-06:00

We had such a great time in Pine Valley with everyone. Let's do it
again.... soon!

Happy Birthday Parly!

2007-08-21T21:59:00.000-06:00

Parly Parly, You're so Great
We can't believe you're already eight!!!

Pine Valley

2007-07-16T13:24:00.000-06:00

We got Jarens itinerary today, so here is our plan for Pine Valley: We will be there Sunday, Sunday night and Monday. We will probably stay for dinner Monday before coming back to Cedar. Will someone let us know what we owe for Sunday night as well as what the plan for food is? I would be happy to do the food on Monday if we all want to take a day and be in charge of all the meals that day, I think there are 4 days? and with 4 families that might be easy and if Lee & Susan want to do one meal a day and work out what meal it is with each family? I think if would be fun to have new recipes from each family and not just pancakes, sandwiches and the old standards every day!Just some suggestions, but I'll do whatever!

Happy B-Day

2007-07-13T08:45:00.000-06:00

Happy birthday Shayne. One more year closer to 40. You are an old dude. Glad I'll never be as old as you. Hope you treat yourself to a 1/2 day at work and go golfing in the 120 degree sun.

Thanks Papa!

2007-07-11T11:25:00.000-06:00

So after Papa came home from Houston...after visiting the Scotts in Texas, he wanted to buy the Santa Clara Scott girls a Nintendo Game boy DS lite. (Something Emma and McKayl apparently have, to play with while they wait for their swim events.) We hadn't ever seen one of these before either because we are OUT of it or because they are so DANG expensive. Well Papa got us one for the girls and they have been enjoying it immensely. Shayne has also been enjoying. Thank you Papa!

Enjoy the clip of Clayre playing the Mario Brothers race car game. It looks like she is driving the race car herself. Funny!

2007-07-07T11:39:00.000-06:00

Dad's latest adventure

2007-07-06T10:05:00.000-06:00

I think you all knew that dad has been fixing a little trailer up to take up to Blackrock to get out of the heat. He hasn't spent a fotune, but has put a little money and a lot of time into it. He finally got everything running and got it looking real cute and he took it up to Blackrock yesterday morning. He came back about 3:00 yesterday afternoon and looked down Blackrock way to see a fire burning. Lightening started the fire. Long story short, he and Darrell were out there until late last night, but were unable to get in to save the trailer or to check Darrell's property. . Dad lost the trailer, plus everything in it, a fresh supply of food, a generator, a chain saw, gasoline containers, some chairs, and various things we haven't thought of yet. We are just sick and I feel so bad for him! Darrell doesn't know what the damages are to his place, but best case scenario he has lost losts of fences and pasture land and he may have lost his cabin and his cattle. They are going to try to get into there this afternoon, but they still may not be able to.

That's my cheery news -

Mom

FYI...We've decided to put our house up for sale for awhile and see what happens (sorry Mom!).

4th of July

We would love to have a BBQ at our house that day. Let us know if you will be here and I'll give some small assignments! We hope to see you there!

Assistant To The Regional Envionmental Manager

2007-06-19T10:42:00.000-06:00

Just thought I'd give you an update on the ScottsinCedar:
So, Jaren received a promotion and he is now, you guessed it, "Assistant To The Regional Envionmental Manager!" Really, no joke. In fact his picture and title were posted in the Cirlce 4 Newsletter. I don't know what he does - I just like the title.

Cooper is definatly the child of Evil Knevil and Dennis the Menace. He starts asking to go outside at 7am and he is COVERED in scrapes. He got a huge one on his knee, which Jaren pushed on and re-opened over the weekend. Yesterday he told me his scratch is "rediculous!" He LOVES watching "So You Think You Can Dance" and his favorite song is "Girlfriend" by Avril Levine. But don't worry, he is OBSESSED with anything to do with hunting - to the point that even Jaren says, "I hope people don't think I taught him all that."

Porter, who calls himself "Frodo" is a mini Coop. In fact, when I'm in the shower, Cooper gets into Porter's crib and launches him from behind onto the rocking chair he's scooted to the crib to catch him. They both think it is hilarious. He will repeat most everything we ask him to say, but his favorite things to say are "I'm Happy!" in a high pitched voice (everytime he walks into the room) and he calls Coop "Bruddy."

I'm just cutting hair, teaching dance, selling jeans, being a mom to Bruddy and Frodo and wife to the Assistant to the Regional Envionmental Manager!

The star of The Paper Dragon--our Clayre-bee

2007-06-13T19:50:00.000-06:00

Well, Clayre did an amazing job preforming in "The Paper Dragon". She was so cute. Her dancing was fantastic. Here are a few pictures. Isn't her costume great?

Clayre's Dance Recital

2007-06-03T20:21:00.000-06:00

Clayre-bee has a dance recital on Friday and Saturday night. June 8th and 9th. It is at 6:30 p.m at the Eccles Main Stage. She will be preforming on both nights. We will probably go to one...I'm thinking the Saturday performance.

So if anyone wants to go....Please come. Also we could go together and I could get the tickets. Just let me know (call or leave a comment in the next couple of days).

zucchini anyone???

2007-05-31T21:03:00.000-06:00

So I went a little crazy when planting the zucchini in our garden this year...I think I planted 10-15 zucchini plants and every one of them are growing zucchini's - so far. Nothing like homemade zucchini bread right? You can come pick them yourself (or if you live in Houston, you only have to pay the shipping, what a deal, fresh zucchini from the garden for only $4.95). And I'm sure we'll have plenty of grapes to share too...they are yummy! Fresh grapes from the vine always remind me of Great Grandpa/Grandma Jones and eating them at their trailer. Eat up!

"A little something to brag about"

2007-05-30T16:13:00.000-06:00

I know you think your father and mother are archaic when it comes to computers (because we are), but I know you will all be proud of me. My remote for the car hasn’t been working, so I went for a new battery. They said my battery was fine and I would need to get my remote reprogrammed with Toyota. So, I tried that and they said I needed a new remote and that it would be between $180 and $200 to get it. I told them I could open the door by hand for that much money. Anyway, I decided to try ebay. I found a new remote for $6 or $7 and ordered it and then did a google search for instructions to program it. Altogether, it cost me under $20 with shipping, etc. Today at noon I programmed my new remote and it works great! Can you believe it?

I tried to go on the family blog to share this great news, but it says my invite has run out. Are you trying to tell me something?

2007-05-25T15:45:00.000-06:00

mainly for pa and fire, but others might enjoy. not a bad way to hunt. if only l and r bird ranch would have had this to get to the south field, intead of the ole ford. i don't think fire could even get this stuck crossing the wash. well... i guess he could. we would have fought for the chance to go "clean the screen".

Girl and Boy dancing

2007-05-22T17:22:00.001-06:00

Cooper and Porter came over to play today. They all started dancing...so cute.
Notice how different Kate and Cooper dance...it's definitely a girl/boy thing. Even Maggie was getting in on the action.

Looks like he had a good time in Alaska! Here is some proof.

Happy Mother's Day Susan

There are many things we can learn from this video. Here are some highlights:

You can call each other fat and ugly but never make fun of another person's mudda (mother).
Mother is spelled M-O-T-H-E-R
You may never know when you need it so it is always good to carry a microphone; I want to say in your back pocket is a good place but it looks more like Mr T had it stashed in his pants near the small of his back for some reason.
We should treat our mother's right.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Birthday Emma & McKayl

Happy Birthday Daisy!

Kate

2007-04-25T15:05:00.000-06:00

Kate holding her "free" bunny she got from the hospital

Well, what a night/day. I took Kate into the insta-care last night around 6:00p.m. She had been coughing all day and her breathing was starting to look labored and rapid. We waited 1 1/2 hours and then right after going back the doctor saw her and sent us to the ER (her oxygen levels were way too low). We were there a couple more hours, she got chest ex-rays, 2 breathing treatments, and constant oxygen. After having the oxygen for just a little while, it didn't take her long to snap out of her lethargic state. Man, she was talking a mile a minute. It was funny. She kept asking who everyone's names were when they came in to check her. And asked all sorts of questions. I really couldn't get her to stop...talking.

Well, the doctor was still concerned about her oxygen levels and that her heart rate was staying quite high so he wanted to keep her over night. Well because the pediatric wing is actually in the other hospital they had to ambulance her over there. Fun for her....will not be fun for us $$$$. Susan came over (THANKS AGAIN!) to stay with her while I went home to swap places with Shayne (Maggie needed to be fed). Shayne stayed the whole night and morning, so I don't really know the details there...I just heard she hardly slept. I guess she was pretty wired from the excitement and medications?

So she is home now and will be getting breathing treatments for a week or two. I left out what was really wrong with her because we don't really know. Ahhh kids!

Some of you may remember the Scott Easter P-A-R-T-A-Y. Well, Dad got a few good shots and this one I couldn't resist posting...the glasses are courtesy of Shayne who bought them for Mom to relive her Yuba days. McCall saw them and fell in love. I think if I recall correctly, Shayne would only give them to her if she would really wear them...so how many times HAVE you worn them McCall?

Alex is on his way!

2007-04-09T09:02:00.000-06:00

Just wanted to let everyone know that Alex leaves for Greece this morning. He sounds very excited and is doing great. Here is his new address:

Elder Alexandros I. Kefalas
Greece Athens Mission
Panayias Eleftherotrias 9
P.O. Box 51178
14563 Kifissia, Athens
GREECE

Congrats to Phyl!

2007-04-03T09:40:00.000-06:00

I hope that it is ok for me to share the news that Phyl has been accepted at the University of Utah for the graduate program. Good news for the Heatons (not so good for the grandparents) We are happy for them and assure them that we will take good care of Henry until they return!!

Lake Powell Fishing

2007-04-02T14:02:00.000-06:00

Well, As you can see from the pics McCall posted, we had a good time fishing at Lake Powell. Papa, Cooper and I took off Fri after work, and came home Sun afternoon. We fished most of the day on Sat and caught about 40 or so fish. Then Sun morn we caught 12 or so in about an hour and a half. Coop said that he "loved sleeping on the Ocean". We slept and stayed on Papa's boat.

It was Cooper's first time in a boat and the first "real" fishing trip he had been on. We were catching a lot of fish and some of them were pretty big, so He got tired realing them in. He asked Papa and I to real them in and he got on the back of the boat with the net and netted them when they got close.

Bar Be Que

2007-04-02T11:38:00.000-06:00

So, I know we've all talked about it, but are we (the Utah Scotts) going to get together Saturday? I have to come down to cut at CH for an hour, but we would love to get together! Let us know.
I'll let Jaren fill you in on the fishing trip, but I'll supply the photos...

March Madness, Susan, and Brent

2007-04-02T09:49:00.000-06:00

It truly is March Madness when Susan Jeane wins her 3rd consecutive MM pool. I think she won at her office in 2005, she won my friends pool in 2006 and then again in 2007. Mom, I have your $70 here at my office waiting for you or remind me when I see you this weekend. Nice work. Did you win your office pool this year as well?

Brenton, could you do a post in this blog explaining what the deal is with your work and grants and what you are trying to do and what you are hoping happens and all the crap. Nobody really knows what is going on, no one can give me a straight answer. Let us know what is up, give every detail.

Fish Out of Water

2007-04-02T09:24:00.000-06:00

We took Henry swimming this weekend, and he loved it! We had to pry him out of the water after his skin was red and wrinkled. Of course the water was bath temperature and he loves his bath. It was the best watching him experience it for his first time ...trying to figure out how to move and where the bubbles were coming from (the ones coming out of the heaters on the side of course). You all are more experienced than we are, but it is so fun watching your kid experience things for the first time. And Henry isn't even walking!
What did everyone else do for conference weekend? I heard Cooper got to go fishing with his Dad and Papa...how did it go???

My talk about Alex

2007-03-27T09:10:00.000-06:00

We took these pictures with Alex right before he left.

My cousin is going on a mishin. I was there when he got his mishin called to Greece. He is 19 years old. I am going to miss him. But I know that Jesus is going to make sher that he will be safe. I asked him a fyou questions befour he left.

Who are you going to miss the most? he said his family
Are you skeired? he said no I'm excited
What do you do on a mishin? he said you go to houses and shair the gospel
Why are you going on a mishin? he said beacus he got called to go

Such a talented family

2007-03-23T12:14:00.000-06:00

It's too bad that Hillary didn't make it as far this year in the Amazing Race. She did so well the last time around, and don't forget- won Survivor All Stars. We have enjoyed watching her on all her reality T.V. appearances. Question though: Brenton, who is that guy with her?

Hurricane 1/2 Marathon

2007-03-22T20:57:00.000-06:00

So...who's in? It is on Cinco de Mayo (a great way to celebrate). May 5th. It's a race for all runners...a 5k for beginners and a 1/2 marathon for more beginners. I did it once and it is a pretty good course, lots of downhill. Also, I heard that they now allow you to do the St. George marathon if you do 3 out of 5 other St. George races and this one is one of them. So it will likely fill up quick (Painters run met their cap of some 1600 or so and turned people away!). So don't delay registration (I'll try to practice what I preach). Plus you still have 6 weeks to train...ooodles of time! You can register here .

Links to Blogs

2007-03-22T15:01:00.000-06:00

Hey, does anyone else have a blog or are there any blogs that we would like to link to from our site? I put a link to mine on the right side and can put a link to anyone else's that we may find interesting. Just let me know whose it is and what the URL is and I will add it.

American Idol

2007-03-22T10:11:00.000-06:00

So, I had this great page all ready to publish yesterday, until my computer just shut down. So here it is a day late, with my top and bottom picks. JSYK Stephanie Edwards was in my bottom 3, so I've had to re-adjust since she's gone.

1. Blake Lewis (Beat Box Guy) - did I mention he is my boyfriend?
2. Melinda Doolittle (Black Back-Up Singer)
3. Chris Sligh (Chubby Guy With Curly Hair)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM AND DAD

Crazy Memories....

2007-03-20T08:45:00.000-06:00

The other day I was remembering when we first moved to St. George and we lived with ma and pa Scott. We slept in the living room, which was just off of the kitchen, so very early in the morning we would hear a loud crackling... then stop...crackling...stop...crackling. It was Jaren (or "Fire") getting his mug filled with ice from the freezer door before heading off to work-- which was driving a linen truck-- which required him to wear shorts-- which reminded me of Doug on the King of Queens. Anyway Jaren was trying to be nice and not be loud, but the pausing and then some made it much worse and just dragged on the loudness. That is probably why I get so irritated when my girls are getting ice and they keep pushing for the ice again and again and again....it reminds me of being woken up so early in the morning, many years ago.

who new?

2007-03-19T15:43:00.000-06:00

the scott family has a blog for 2 days and everyone can't get enough. luckily ma hinted that i should write, or you all wouldn't even know if i'm alive. you want an update... well i'm sitting here at my computer waiting for a guy from the Technology and Commercialization Department to send my my collaboration letter so that I can submit this grant that is due by 10 am in the morning. Everything is set... just waiting for 1 stinking letter. Is that pretty exciting. Don't you all feel better knowing what I'm up to.
Oh yah... we sold our house, bought a townhome, Emma is sick, Libby is psycho, Sawyer doesn't sleep through the night and I still don't have a job.
Peace.

2007-03-19T14:03:00.000-06:00

Happy Birthday from Mom, as well. I love this option for communicating, but I want to check it too much. I have to be careful not to neglect my work to play here.

See you tonight Cedar City Scotts!

I loved your trip update, Parly! Sounds like you guys had a great time in California.

Any news in Houston, Brenton?

ScottsinCedar

2007-03-19T08:34:00.000-06:00

Happy Bday Shalyse.
We are coming down to SG today to see mom, dad, and you for your Birthdays. Mom told me she is tending Henry for you and so we are assuming you have plans, but may get to see you when you drop him off or pick him up.
As for an update with the ScottsinCedar. We have the goal of finishing the backyard this summer. I spent all weekend on the tractor moving dirt and so we are that much closer. Plan on a BBQ by mid-summer.
Cooper is a bike riding fool. I took his training wheels off about a year ago and he hasn't really ridden his bike since. Mom (Susan) gave him a scooter for Christmas and he thinks he is the Toni Hawk of scooter riding (only Cooper has more scab than skin on his body right now) Well, this weekend he decided he wants to be a pro bike rider and now we don't see him much. The bike has revolutionized the way he gets around the neighborhood. Watch out--Nick Ence Jr is on the loose.

Today is your Birthday!

2007-03-19T08:21:00.000-06:00

The Scotts in Santa Clara wanted to wish Shalyse a very
Happy Birthday! (click on Happy Birthday)

Olive Garden

2007-03-18T10:11:00.000-06:00

So it wasn't a rumor or urban legend after all. The Olive Garden has actually made it's way to St. George.

We all remember back in 1998 (date provided by Shayne) when Susan told us the exciting news. Well as the years went by we doubted and each time she told us it was really coming we scoffed at her. She has now had the last laugh. So maybe as a peace offering we should all go and enjoy together.

Jared's photos on Flickr

2007-03-17T08:49:00.000-06:00

This is a link to Jared Stanley's photos. There are some for everyone to look at, he is scanning many old photos in and posting them here. It will be especially interesting to Brenton who is in some of the photos.

Just lucky

2007-03-16T15:51:00.000-06:00

As I am sure all of you have discussed when I wasn't present, I can't be ahead because of my basketball knowledge. So, not to worry everyone, my luck won't last.

Disney Land

2007-03-16T15:45:00.000-06:00

Disney Land was fun. We got to go on fun rides. And eat at cool restranss. Clayre and me got cot and candy. But Clayre and me had to shair with Kate and Mommy and Daddy. I got to buy something at the store in Disney Land and I picked a hairy note book. And it was pink and the pencle was pink too. And it had a crown on it. Disney Land is a fun place to go. I love it.

Love Parly

Glad to be a Scott

2007-03-16T11:36:00.000-06:00

Let's make this a place were we can all come and talk together, openly, without any judgements or criticism: A Happy Place......Just joking. What would be the fun in that? We all know that without the slight jabs and witty sarcasm that The Scotts are just...let's be honest, boring. So bring it!!! And enjoy.

By the way Susan I'm not sure how you do it, but if you win another year of March Madness I don't know if I will recover. I hate to admit it, but you have a gift. And the competitiveness in me wants to just make sure I'm ahead of you when it's all over. Don't take it the wrong way...it is always a compliment to be the one everyone is gunning for. So Susan..let's just say, "It is on!"

Welcome
