Where's Kitty?

What a slacker I've become! It's been wild and crazy not to mention I've been lazy! I take so many pictures every chance I get that I know it gets repetative seeing my kids over and over again! So I've just been posting certain pictures on myspace. It's a lot easier than this and faster. Anyway, here's a little update on the Scott Family.

December 12

Angelina's 16th Birthday! CRAZINESS! I can't believe she's 16 already! Her mom threw her a Sweet 16 Party at their house and made a ton of food! She had a lot of her friends over and had a really good time. We all did!

Another update on her, she's working at a shoe store in the Galleria Mall and loves it. She's always trying to make the highest sales! She's made a lot of new friends and is hanging out with normal kids again!

December 17

SNOW in Vegas!! Yes it did! It started at about 11:30 - just small flurries and then never stopped and the snowflakes kept getting bigger and bigger!! It was a little scary to drive in but once we were all home the kids built a snowman...well part of one. They finished it the next day. The snow stuck for almost a week. Christmas morning we still had a little bit in the driveway from the snowman. I can't say I'd like to live with snow all the time though, the melting process is dirty and wet and slippery! Didn't like that so much!

December 19

We packed up the family and headed out to Rancho Cucamonga to visit our good friends the Wicker's. We got there around 5 that night. The drive out there was fun because there was snow on the mountains the entire way!

That Saturday Brett's parents had their annual Christmas Party so we headed to Oak Hill. They had about 3ft of snow!! Cherish drove up there and it was a slippery and dirty ride! But we made it! We had a blast at the party as did the kids. We all sang a little karaoke which was entertaining!

December 21

My Dad flew into Ontario to surprise the kids with a trip to Disneyland for Christmas. I picked him up around 10 and took him back to Cherish's where the girls saw him and were excited. He told them where we were headed and got even more excited. We got a little lost along the way...yes Cherish, you did tell me to take the SECOND Chapman exit but I freaked out and didn't see another one so exited the first and got so lost! We lost about an hour! When we finally headed the right way we checked into our hotel and spent the rest of the day in Disney. It was a very nice day and we had a ton of fun!

The next day we went to CA Adventure which none of us have ever been to. That was a blast! No lines and no crowds!

All in all it was the best Disney trip I've had. I'm glad I got to be there for my Dad's first time and that we all got to spend time together!

Christmas

Our Christmas was pretty quiet this year. We only bought for kids so they were spoiled. Christmas Eve we went to church. Christmas morning we had Brunch with the Scott's and then that night we had Dinner with the Leonardo's. By dinner we had the WII busted out so we had a couple of bowling tournaments! That was fun!

I'll get to posting some of those pictures later!

Ones I did want to post today though are of my baby girl and her new accessory! She got her ears pierced as a gift for Christmas! She was SO brave and didn't make a peep when they were done and she hasn't cried since. They're healing very nicely and she loves being a princess!!

Check me out!

So cute!

Well, we hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday and that the New Year brings great things to all!! Cheers!

Halloween 08

Rrrrrg - these pictures are all mixed up...darn BLOG!

We spent Halloween at my sister's. She had a couple of friends over as did we. We did it up potluck style and had a great time! The kids passed out candy when they were home and then did a little trick or treating.

After trick or treating they passed out candy...my girl was SO over being Hannah she took the wig off...so it didn't even look like she dressed up.

Our neighbors little fireman...he's ready for his Calender shoot!

At my office - Lo was a cheerleader by day, Cinderella by night.

Passing out the LAST of the candy!

Ang and her two new friends.

(she's wearing shorts...that's how not cold it was!)

Two firemen!!

After the first round of trick or treating.

Movie Night

After carving pumkins it was time for movie night since Halloween fell on Friday and we usually have it that night. We popped some Jiffy, the girls got a little treat and we watched The Trouble w/ Angels. It's an older movie but was recommended by my boss and the girls LOVED it. They watched it ALL weekend long.

Since times are tough and movies are outragously expensive we choose to have movie night at least once a week at our house. I stock up on the Jiffy Pop and make sure the girls get a little something sweet to go with it. It's well spent time together and it's tons of fun! We're renting all of the old movies we used to watch as kids and our kids love them all. It's amazing to see how it was so easy to make a movie back in the day...and how simple the movies were. Anyway, if you've got time - we highly recommend it!

They love Jiggy Pop!!!
Waiting for the popcorn!

Pumpkin Carving

We carved pumpkins the night before Halloween with the girls. I did my with Lo and T did his w/ H. The pictures are out of order but whatever!! And I'm a little late posting but whatever!

Ours was the cat and theirs was the pirate
Ours had a lot more detail but...really...are you kidding me? That would have taken the patience of a turtle...no thanks!

Over the pumpkins and on to jumping shoes!

Cleaning it out!

Of COURSE I had a glass of wine while carving...I had to have patience! LOL!

Stab it!!

Hope everyone's pumpkin carving was fun!

Trunk or Treat 2008

The girl's daycare Kiddie Academy has a trunk or treat every year and we decided to give a try this year. And we're glad we did! The girl's had a blast and got to hang out with their friends and of course...go trunk to trunk to get some candy.

They had decided they were going to be Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus this year but I thought trying to get Lo to look like Miley would be tough and no one would know what she was so we went with Cinderella instead. She got the dress for her birthday from our neighbors and it worked perfect and saved us some $$! =)

Hannah and Cinderella

The prettiest Cinderella I've ever seen!

The most gorgeous Hannah ever!

Posers!

Lifting her dress and walking like a princess

The trunks are ready!

The first trunk stop

With the Director of the daycare - she's awesome and her daycare is awesome!

Scary trunk

Daddy and his girls

Lo's dress is a little stretched out!

There was a carnival on the playground so they got to play games and win prizes. On the other side they had a DJ and cotton candy and popcorn.

Playing with the prizes

There's a SPIDER on the trunk!!

With her best friend - who obviously was also Hannah Montana. I'm thinking I may have to switch up her costume for Halloween, there were about 10 Hannah's there! Not too original! LOL!

Last stop - Bounce house!

After Trunk or Treat we had plans to go out so my sister took the kids. They got a free room at the Bellagio that night so we had to drop the kids off there. They have a garden that they change with the season's so it was all decked out for the fall. If you look close enough, the tree behind them has a face in it and he talks!

Here he is...my flash wasn't very good

These were in front of the tree...a bunch of Thai Chili Peppers! I wanted to steal some and take them home!

In the room blowing bubbles

That's a big one!

The picture above this one...Lo's doing a magic trick with the curtains. They function from a switch so we told her she could do magic so the girls would go behind the curtain, get closed in and then reopen them and they'd disappear! I have a video I'll try to upload. Too cute!
