Melt Down

Need I say more? Yes, we all miss shots sometimes! Clearly it is nap time!!

She Did It!!

She can sit up!

She needs to work on her form a little but hey she did it! Soon she will have it down perfect. Her brother is not always so helpful at keeping her in an upright position!

Snowshoeing

Saturday we took the kids snowshoeing. We went up Milcreek Canyon and had lots of fun. For Christmas my Dad and Cheri got us this cool ski attachment for our bike trailer. It was awesome, the kids loving riding in it and enjoyed the outdoors. It worked really well and we, ok mostly Justin got a really good workout! We really enjoyed our new gift and are looking forward to going again!

Anderson built his first snowman. He used fruit snacks for his eyes!

Happy Birthday Hailey

Hailey some how managed to dodge all of my pictures. So she gets a birthday wish with no picuture! Happy Birthday Hailey, we love you so much. I remember the day that you were born so well. I could not wait for you to be here. I was so excited for your parents to become parents. You were a long awaited baby! Your parents were so excited to have their little girl! From the time they found out you were on your way they were thrilled! Your dad was especially excited to have a girl! You have brought so much joy into all of our lives and I am so glad that you are my cousin!! I can't believe that you are 18! Have a very wonderful birthday! We love you!

Love,
Justin, Maris, Anderson and Adalayde

P.S. WE REALLY tHINK YOU SHOULD COME TO UTAH FOR SCHOOL! For selfish reasons of cousrse!

February 5th Bitter, Sweet!

Today is also my Tachi's Birthday. It is Bitter because Tachi is no longer here with us. It is sweet because on this day we get to remember all the wonderful times that we had with him!! Tachi was a wonderful grandpa to us and I have many wonderful memories of him. Today I decided that I was going to tell Anderson about his Gran Tachi and how he is named after him and my Dad who is his Tachi. Since Anderson loves gum I decided to walk up to the store and buy him a package of Juciy Fruit. Juicy Fruit in honor of Tachi! Why Juciy Friut? Well, Tachi always had a package of Juciy Fruit in his car. When we would get in his car we went straight for the gum and we would hide it from Tachi in his car. He would always find it but we thought it was hilarious to hide it from him! I hope that those of you reading this blog who also miss Tachi will remember all the good memories because that is what he would want us to do! We love you Tachi and miss you everyday! Thanks for all the good memories and for the new tradition that the Scotts will now have on February 5th. We will laugh at all the great memories and buy a package of Juicy Fruit gum for the kids!

P.s. Anderson loved the gum and Adalayde wanted it so bad!!

Happy Birthday Gretchen!

Gretchen is serving a mission in Bolivia right now so she will not be around for her birthday. We hope that she is having a wonderful birthday. We miss her but are proud of her for her decision to go on a mission. She is doing a wonderful job and from her letters it sounds like she is having a really good time!

Happy Birthday Beza!

Happy Birthday Beza. We hope that you are having a wonderful birthday. We are so blessed to have you as our cousin. You are such a fun and sweet little girl! I wish that you lived close to us so that Anderson could play with you all the time. He loved playing with you so much! He still talks about his cousin Beza! I can't believe that you are 4 years old it has gone so fast. You have brought a lot of joy to our family! We love you very much! Love,
Justin, Maris, Anderson and Adalayde
