A new year and I'm already behind on posting pictures...

The holiday season is behind us and we enjoyed spending time with family. We traveled to Kansas City and spent Thanksgiving with Nana and the McClain's. We stayed on the Plaza and saw the lights, so neat! We ventured to Golden Colorado to sneak a peak at Santa, although that went over like a lead balloon! I did get a picture with both him and Scotlyn in the same frame, so that was an accomplishment! We then traveled to Nebraska and spent Christmas with Jeff's side of the family in Laurel. We barely made it and got caught in a white-out for 3 days, talk about quality family time! Scotlyn was all smiles and loved her new toys. She got a play kitchen, which her first meal was "Caffee and Sandwitches", picture a New York accent:) We are on the verge of potty training, Scotlyn that is:) I'll post some hilarious pics of her dawning all of her Elmo underwear on at once soon....

Ghosts, Goblins and Butterfly's...

We had so much fun with Scotlyn on Halloween. She was a butterfly and loved her wings and antennas so much that she wanted to wear them when she woke up Sunday morning with her jammies. Here are some pictures, we live in a great neighborhood with lots of kids. I think her favorite part was handing the candy out to the trick or treater's, she just kept saying "helping mama helping"...

Anderson Farms Pumpkin Patch, Oktober Fest, Fall in Colorado...

Scotlyn has been having a great time this fall. We went to the pumpkin patch this Saturday and had a great time! We also had our annual Pumpkin Picking Party and enjoyed chili and watching the kids whack the heck out of the pumpkin pinata. Scotlyn is going to be a Butterfly for Halloween, more pictures to come for that. Scotlyn is talking alot and has been developing her very sweet but sassy attitude. She is very independant and loves to interact with everything and everyone! Quite the social butterfly. Here are some pictures of the last few months.....

Scotlyn picked the perfect pumpkin!
