Well it has been a year...here is the newest addition to the family!! Troy Jason (TJ) Scott born May 25, 2010

Summer

Well summer is almost over. Where did the time go? The girls and I spent most of our days at the waterpark. Chloe loves the pool and the lazy river (takes most of her naps there) and Emma loves going down the tube slide! Other then the waterpark we have just enjoyed being home with each other and spending time with our working dad when we can! Poor Jason! We still have a few things planned for what is left of the summer. We will be celebrating Hudson's birthday at Kings Island this weekend, Jason and I will be going to a concert with Jackie and Graham in August, and at the end of August Jason and I will be going to the Indy Car race in Chicago!
Here are a few summer pictures!

Florida 2009

The first Florida trip with all 4 of us was a BLAST! We went to the beach, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Sea World. Emma's favorite was the condo b/c it had mirrors. LOL...long story. Anyway these are a few pictures from our vacation.

Chloe and I getting ready for the Indiana Jones Stunt Show!

Vegas Vacation

Our Vegas Vacation was packed full with fun and excitement! Jason and I stayed at the Wynn hotel..which might I say was the best hotel in VEGAS! Shopping, shopping, and more shopping! I would rather spend money then gamble it all away! We also had time to visit the Shark Reef and see the water show at the Bellagio. The best part of our trip was the Le Reve show at the Wynn. It was amazing! I wish I would have known how AWESOME the shows are...we would have done more! Oh we weren't just out there for a vacation...Wes and Jenna got hitched. Here are some picks of our NO KIDS weekend!

The Kids!
Aren't we cute?

Margaritaville!

Hot Chocolate for me!

Our FABULOUS hotel!

My baby is ONE!! I can hardly believe that it has been a year. Seems like yesterday that I was told that I was going to have a baby on April 4th. She is walking around this house with very little help. At her 12 month dr appt...she weighed in at 20lbs flat! That is a long way from 5lbs 4oz but she is still my little cheeky! In the next few months Chloe will be taking her first big vaca to Disney! I am so excited and so is everyone else!

I also can't believe that Emma is 8! Wholly Cow! She is such a great help around the house and with Chloe. For Emma's Birthday she got to go to American Girl and spend her money! Of course she spent some of ours too! I think we now own every outfit possible! We all had a great time. Emma got to eat at her favorite restaurant and introduced it to her sister. Rainforest Cafe! Tons of excitement and entertainment for both.

Here are a few pictures from the last few months!

Emma wishing she was 1!

Me and my baby!

Yum Yum!

Playing with Cheeky's new toys!

My Favorite Pic!

Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted. I am not the best blogger in the world...I really do it just to post the pictures.

Well it is now 2009 and I couldn't of had a better year. As for this year I would like a J-O-B. That means a classroom of my own. I love teaching my kids now, but it is hard not having my own class of ONE grade...not saying teaching ALL 5 isn't fun. Keep your fingers crossed!

Chloe is getting so BIG. She is pulling herself up to stand and trying really hard to walk. Tomorrow I am planning on lowering her crib because I swear she is going to climb right out!

Emma is 7 going on 17. She asked for help the other day on her math homework and it was multiplication! I guess that wasn't the shocking part...she really knew what she was doing. Just a few clues and she was multiplying 15x3. YIKES...I have 5th graders that struggle with this. Emma is now into clothing brands.... JUICY and her 7 jeans are her favorites. I just don't know who taught her these bad habits.

Jason is still working in Indy and hating it. I guess he just lives with doing things that is best for the family. I don't think I thank him enough! Tomorrow he and Wes are heading to Washington DC...he is so excited. As for me...I rather watch Obama be sworn in on TV!

Until later...

Chloe's First Tree

Well I am very excited for Christmas and jumped the gun in putting up our tree. This is the picture of Chloe seeing her first Tree!

Halloween!

Well I haven't been blogging in a while and seeing that Jackie had one reminded me I never posted Halloween pictures. We didn't have Emma this year but she managed to stop by and show us her scary Cheerleader costume. Chloe was a Purdue Cheerleader. She also went to her first Purdue basketball game that night!

Chloe at 6 months

I can't believe Chloe is 6 months old! She is rolling all over the floor. I can't wait to see whatelse is coming soon...

As for the rest of the family we are all just working and just taking it day by day! Exciting things are coming.

Update

Well it has been a while....Chloe is now five months old and I have a new job. I am working at Earhart Elementary (Emma's School) as a Reading intervention teacher. It is not a classroom but its a job and in a school. You have to start somewhere. Chloe is doing great. She went to her first Purdue football game and was such a good girl. Emma is about to lose another tooth and loving second grade. Other then that it has been the same around here...just looking forward to Purdue games and spending time as a family.

Kings Island Pics

Kings Island

We wrapped up our vacations by going to Kings Island. Grandma Sue Sue, Wes, Jenna, and Hudson joined us for a weekend of fun! I think I can talk for everyone...we had a GREAT Time. Above are some pictures from our weekend!

Pictures of WD Vacation 2008

Wisconsin Dells

YES Lake Delton is all washed away and will not be rebuilt until next year. We started our mini vacation on Sunday. Our plan was to stop in Gurnee to do a little back to school shopping and eat lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe. Well....the blond in me came out and did you know that 90 and 94 split in Chicago and doesnt come back together until Wisconsin. So needless to say we had to go to Gurnee Mills on the way home. Well when we got to our hotel (Kalahari Resort)..which was HUGE and really nice..we checked in and headed of to explore and take a ride on the Ducks. No they are not animals they are old army trucks/boats. This was fun. Both of the girls enjoyed the ride! The next day we headed to the outdoor water park and soaked up a LOT of sun. After going down all of the slides and taking a dip in the pool and the lazy river we decided to get dressed and then head out and do a little mini golf and shop downtown. Before we got to do all of that....we had a little problem. The hotel charged our debit card instead of our charge card...YES huge problem...not only did they charge for the room they charge you additional 400 to make sure you don't charge stuff to the room. BIG PROBLEM. Lets say I was not happy and had to deal with this for two out of the three days we were there. Chloe's first vacation was fun but what vacation is complete without air conditioning. When we finally got home I discovered the air conditioner was BROKE! Above are a few pictures from our Vacation 08

Porter Co Fair

Well I didn't have any fair food the rides wore me out! I thought I could handle the spiny things like I use to. After the fair we went to Red Robin and had dinner. Overall we had a great day at the fair and enjoyed seeing my mom and grandparents. Here are a few pictures...

Wicked

Saturday Sue and I took a bus trip to Chicago to see Wicked. The whole experience and day out was FABULOUS! When we arrived in Chicago before the play the bus dropped us off to do some shopping and eating. Well Sue and I opted to shop over eat....go figure. Our first stop was American Girl Place. Of course the place was packed and once you get in the store there is no control. I think Emma got 3 outfits, a tee shirt, a back pack, and a sleeping bag. Next we were off to the Disney store. Yes I know we had one in Lafayette but still. I bought the girls both a beach towel for vacation and Emma a few tees that were on sale. Our next adventure was to find our Garrett's popcorn. Now if you have ever had Garrett's popcorn you would know how devastating it was that it was CLOSED! So disappointing! After hitting up McDonald for our lunch, because again we like to shop more then spending time to eat, we went to the Hershey store before getting on the bus to be dropped off at the theater. Once we were at the theater we saw another Garrett's popcorn....don't worry when we came out of the play the line was wrapped around the building! :( The play was AMAZING! I had a great time and would love to see it again.

Oh...yes Chloe did get something. Emma was not the only one with gifts. Chloe received a onesie from the Hershey store and Wicked and Jason a HUGE dark chocolate bar!

Busy Summer

Well our summer is getting busy! We just decided to go on a short little family vacation. Looks like Wisconsin Dells will be the getaway spot. We are staying at a resort with a water park...should be fun! Starting with this weekend I have something I need to do until the end of August! WHEW...sounds exhausting. This weekend I am going with my mother-in-law to see Wicked in Chicago. I'm excited. Then the next weekend (I just found out) is the Porter Co. Fair. I haven't been to this in years and really craving fair food! After that comes our mini vaca in Wisconsin. Are you tired yet? The first weekend in August is Hudson's birthday party then we are off for Kings Island. BUSY BUSY BUSY...but we are excited to get to spend time as a family.

The 4th and Chloe @ 3 months

I can't believe that it has been 3 months! She is getting so big so fast! Someone last night at the party asked what time it was and it happened to be the exact time I had her...9:29 p.m. Over all we had a great day. It started off a little shaky with a lil family drama but once the problem was gone we had a really fun day. The party was at our house and of course I cooked way too much food! I think everyone could have had five plates. We ended the night with tons of fireworks not only ours but the neighbors who according to a rumor spent 1,000. I could have found something better to do with a 1,000 dollars then burning it up...but we all had fun. It was a GREAT way to celebrate Independence Day and Chloe's 3 month birthday!
