Christmas 2011....New Year

Christmas is over and the holiday season was fun. We spent time with family and friends and enjoyed ourselves. Here are some pictures of what we have been up to....

Happy 1st Birthday Isabel Rose!!!

Isabel turned 1 this Thursday November 3rd. We celebrated her birthday at Red Robin, she loved it all especially the ice-cream! We had our annual Erwin Pumpkin Picking Party last weekend and had a great time. Thanks to everyone for joining us in the fun! Scotlyn had a field trip with her preschool class from Wee Widsom to the apple orchard and picked a pumkin just her size. The Fall in Lincoln has been beautiful and we love it here. The leaves are changing, falling and a chill is in the air. Halloween was fun, Izzy was a Ladybug and Scotty was "Angelina Ballarina". We also celebrated cousin Sophia's 3rd birthday! Here are some pics...

Birthday Girl Izzy!!!

We love you Izzy, Happy Birthday!!!

Ice-cream, brace yourself!

She was all about the chocolate cupcake, not a crumb left

Mean face! Is it bad that both our kids as babies had a "Mean Face"?

Cousin Sophia's 3rd birthday party at Valentino's

I was putting up the Halloween decorations outside, when Izzy snuck away, I knew it was too quiet, a few seconds later, this is what I found, or as it were...she found!

Birthdays,School Daze and Husker Football....

Fall is here in Nebraska! We have been busy. Jeff turned 34 on August 3rd, we celebrated with Jeff's favorite, homemade German Chocolate Cake, thanks to Great-Grandma Dorothy's recipe! Scotlyn started her first year of Preschool at Wee Wisdom Christian Preschool and she loves it! She also started her first Ballet class. It's getting better, but I think for now she likes looking at herself in her tutu in the huge mirror more than listening to the teacher! Jeff started his new job with Producers Hybrids as their National Sales Manager and has been very busy. We spent the weekend up in Spencer Iowa for the Clay County Fair. Husker Football has started and they are 3-0, Go Big Red! Living in Lincoln, if your not a Husker fan, you will eventually become one, it's infectious. Izzy is doing great, trying to keep up with Scotty. She started walking last Friday and eats like an Erwin from the table. We both wish she would stop growing so fast! She is at such a fun age. She is such a joy to be around, so smiley and happy. We are looking forward to all the Fall activities we have planned and will post pics once we have them. Here are some from the past 2 months.....
