Happy Holiday

Wow…
Let me fill you in with my picture tour of what’s new.

I’m learning new stuff everyday (brushing teeth).

Josh and I are getting bigger by the minute.

I'm teaching Josh new games like monkey see – monkey do.

Santa had us on the good boy list.

Of course dad had to test drive most of our gifts.

…and of course we had to test drive the tree.

We where also asked this year to play baby Jesus’ family.

To all our friends and family we love and miss you
especially this time of year. XOXOXO

Fit To Dish

We’re official. We both have Maryland id and plates.
Guess there is no turning back now.

We are loving our new baby stroller built for two.
Look out park here we come!

FYI: Scott’s new calling in our ward is

Ward Executive Secretary.

Halloween Fun

A few days ago we had as much rain as Las Vegas gets in one full year fall in three days. On the third day I felt like I was living in a shower.

Josh was horse'n around.

Russell was a scarecrow.

He was called a witch more then once.

Good old fashion door to door loot!!

Out-of-Towners

Monday night is trash night. That’s the one night you are supposed to put your trash out. We have been pretty lazy about it. Most times they don’t come till way after Scott goes to work at 7am. That gives me time to wake up and pull it out for the trash man. A few weeks ago I wake up at 6:40am to the sound of the trash crew (in this complex it take six plus trash men to follow the truck to fling trash in) right outside me window. I did the 40 yard dash to run after the trash truck. I was a pretty funny sight although I was really thankful about sleeping in my clothes that night.

Fall is here and the temp is dropping. In the evenings it’s getting down into the low 60’s. Going out to run an errand I grab my winter coat. When I get to the store you should have seen the looks, like I was drop right out of a space ship. The locals were still wearing shorts and Ts. The message come through loud and clear, I have no idea what cold is. YIKES!

WASH ME BOSS MAN

It took a village but we are so thankful for all the help we received just to get us out the door and on our way.
The road trip (all 2400 plus miles) was full of long days and very short nights.

Russell fell asleep with donut still in his mouth.

It ended up taking us a full five days. Let me tell you we were soooooooooooo happy to see our Maryhand home. I felt like kissing the ground. It took a little getting use to but I love it.

Scott’s family came down and gave me back my sanity by helping me unpack. I still have a small wall of boxes behind my coach. Everyday I work on wading through it or at least staring it down (not working).

Russell passes the time finding his niche
and jibber jabbering away.

Russell's first wall Pisasso.

Joshua is exploring the floor steamroller style

and is cutting his first two teeth.

"WASH ME BOSS MAN" was written in cleaner spots on a really dirty truck going down the road. It showed its neglect by how well you could read the words in the dirt. Here's to hopping this blog don't get any more "wash me boss man" messages.

Leavin’ Las Vegas

Moving day is almost upon us (August 8th) and we’re WIGGIN’ out. Just a 411: there will not be another post for a few days. We have to fight with the cable company and get the previous tenants kicked off our address. They probably just left the state and didn’t look back bill wise. I know the feeling, but people on the other hand …. WE WILL MISS YOU ALL. You know of course that we are like the flew, turning up when you lest expect it. And Scott has been known to give people runny noses.

Wish I still loved food this much.

Maryland Dreamin'

If you didn't know we are east coast bound. Scott received a job with his company Quest Diagnostics. That is going to take us way outside of our comfort zone (i.e. Baltimore, Maryland). Did you know it snows there? I guess we are going to see if a dessert rat can survive in snow. No worries though… I have a packing buddy.

Josh is all good with it. Of course he has the really hard part.

Brotherly Love

The boys are getting along like peas in a pod.

Happy Birthday

Hot Under The Collar

Record heat has got me singing the blues. These pictures where forwarded to me by my mother-in-law. I hope they bring a little winter back to anyone who might need some reminding of how it’s suppose to feel.

Christmas In February

Scott has been dieing for and Xbox 360 since before they came out. Tax money, need I say more. We went to Costco on Valentines Day and the bag boy said something to the effect of, “Now that’s what I call a Valentines present.” I hope this makes up for ALL the sucky Valentines Days we've had in the past.

Stem on the Apple

I missed a doctor appointment and when I had my next exam someone had put the stem on the apple. We are having a BOY and naming him: Joshua Scott.

Russell is growing like a weed and he is on the move. He isn’t walking yet but its coming. Pampering myself well soon consist of going to the bathroom in privet.

Scott is on the down hill slide to finishing up his two year degree and he can’t wait.

These days I have three speeds – slow – stop – reverse. I’m feeling good just really tiered. I feel like I could sleep twenty-four seven if not for the frequent bathroom brakes.

This is just a few seconds alone in my room.
