A long hot summer...

We have had a busy summer. The weather in Colorado has been beautiful. Scotlyn and I went to Nana's in Tennessee. We had a great time and hated to leave, although I know Nick and Jake (their papillon's) where glad to see her go! She chased them around the house yelling "Meow". Here are a few pictures from the last month or so...

Is July really almost over?

I can't believe that August is almost here. Here are some new pics of Scottie. Jeff's family was here for the 4th of July, the cousins had so much fun playing. We are just working and trying to enjoy the weather. Scotlyn loves the water and is loving her new daycare, they have a water table that she can't get enough of! They went to the Botanical Gardens today to see the dinasour exhibit, what fun! Hope you all are enjoying your summer...

Gotcha Daddy!

Spinning is her new favorite game

Summer fun...

Scotlyn went to the Denver Zoo with her cousins Mallory and Kaida this past month and loved it. It's amazing how quiet they become when they are mezmorized by the animals. We have been having tons of rain and tornados, so we haven't gone to the pool yet, but that is hopefully in the works for this week. Scotlyn got ear tubes last week, she did great. Scotlyn and I have been bonding and having so much fun. She likes to dance around the house, when ever she hears any kind of music she starts to sway back and forth. She is really starting to understand when you talk to her and she loves to explore. She loves to brush her teeth and has recently tried to put her diapers on her best friend "Monkey", he was not very cooperative and she let him have it! Here are some recent pics...

Pudding art, yummmmm...

Excited to go on the Carosel, ok mommy was probably more excited than Scottie...

Colorado or Bust...

So I realize I haven't posted pictures for 3 months, but we are now getting settled in Castle Rock, Colorado. Scotlyn is adjusting well, she is almost 15 months old, starting to talk, running around and a drama queen! We are really enjoying it here so far, the weather an scenery are beautiful. I start as a Home Health nurse part-time in June, we actually found daycare across the street and couldn't have gotten luckier. Jeff is working hard, traveling alot, Scotlyn walks around the house looking for him yelling "Da Da". Here are some pictures to get you caught up.

Happy 1st Birthday Scotlyn!!!

Today was Scotlyn's 1st birthday! On Saturday, Grandpa Jim gave Scotlyn her first set of wheels. She loves to be pushed around the house on her new ride, it's exhausting for us, but she loves it!!! Notice the Jayhawk threads, Rock Chalk!!! Grandpa and Lute even brought a cake, although Scotlyn wasn't sure what to do with the candle. Today we spent at home, we celebrated her big day with a caterpillar cake that Jeff and I both made, we decorated the kitchen with balloons and streamers and let Scotlyn dive into her cake. We can't believe that 1 year has already come and gone. We are truely loving having Scotlyn in our lives, she is such a sweet little girl. Here are some pictures of today and other fun times...
