Fishing!

It is not very often we get to go fishing with Papaw! So we take every chance we can get. We went to one of Papaw "spots" to fish last Wednesday. I will say I have a couple of city slickers! They caught some perch and would not take them from my dad and turn them loose. Putting shrimp on their hook was a not gonna do that either. But if we had worms....... I have decided though that they like to fish just like their Mimi. With "live" bait, cork and a lawn chair. Once we fished a little with the shrimp, dad put on their artificial lures to fish for bass. They were not too thrilled with the waiting time for a fish to come along and jump on the hook.

Now for the Mamma's bragging rights!!!!!!!! I am the only one who caught bass! Two might I add......

You will see below the pics of our adventure:) Papaw thanks for making our day a great one.

Busy Busy Busy

Wow the time has flown by! I can not beileve I have not posted since March! We have been moving our church to its new location. What a bute! God has blessed us so much. We have a beautiful place to go and worship and see lives changed. It is amazing what location will do. We have seen about 120 kids come through in the last 4 weeks that we have not seen before. WOW time for phase 2. Dont let Pastor Mark hear me say that, he might colapse.

We finished out the 2007-2008 school year with a bang. Both boys did an awesome job this year. Jonny is reading and Ryan is reading entire chapter books. That is crazy. I still get to read to them. I hope they dont out grow that too quick.

Ryan has made it to his first blue stripe in Karate! He did a fantastic job with his sparing (fighting with pads)

My niece Amada graduated from High School. She is the last of my sister Stacy's children. She does have 3 more to go that are our sister Dyan's! Hang in there sis. You will make it.

Our little Minnie dog is hangin' with us. Jonny just loves her. We all love her but Jonny....Let me tell you a little story. Roger and the boys were coming home for some event and Roger told the boys, "I have waited 2 years for Prince Caspin to come out." Jonny said, "I have waited all my life for a dog!" She is so good to put up with him toting her around the house.

For those of you who are going, you have a dog.....read the archives and you will find the story about "my dog."

Be on the look out for more updates in my spare time.

Its All About Karate

Ryan awaits the green belt test....

We have begun.

Ryan, Dad and I are very proud of you! You are doing a great job in Karate. It is hard to believe that you have been taking classes for a year and look at you, on your way to your first blue stripe!

Guess Who is 6........

my baby jonny!


He is just getting so big. He is walking up to his class this morning in this picture. The others are just a few for your enjoyment from the big party on Saturday! He had a few of his soccer buds and buds from church come and hang out playing some four square and beating the dino pinata for some goodies. His Mimi and Papaw, Aunt Kate and cousins Isabella and Lilly, and Aunt Lana and his teacher from school Ms. Klakamp came to make sure fun was had by all!

Thank you to all our people who came and made Jonny's day the best!








Dinosaur bingo for the little ones enjoyment. Ryan and Mimi were great with them!



More four square play! Jman is in his boots (no socks)~


Dinosaur cake!

I am so cute!I am so tired!

Five Generations!!

This has only happened one other time in my family as I have seen it! My sister Stacy was doing this almost 21 years ago with our great granddaddy and her daughter Brittany. Now it is her turn with her daughter Amanda and Baby Dillon. Pictured above seated is my Granny holding Dillon, standing from left to right, my sister Stacy, niece Amanda, and my mom Jan. WHOOO HOOO We have five generations to proudly show off. Not only on Amanda's mom's side but her dad's too! Dillon gets to have his picture in the paper two times!

Oh look who I caught with a big ol' smile on his face! You got it, my great nephew Dillon.

Oh the joys of the favorite great aunty!!!!!!!!! Arent we just the cutiest thing you ever seen? Did you know he has my ears. He got the best from his best:)

Catching up......

We had a great holiday season with our family! The big group picture is my family on my dad's side. My sisters, nieces, nephew, great nephew and in-laws. We were at my parents house for our Christmas celebration! It is so much fun to cram us all in momma and daddy's house! Controlled nut house:)

This is my Granny and the boys. She is my last living grandparent. We went to her house on Christmas day! Now that was some crazy people happenin' there! It is cool because usually all the grandkids show up on Christmas Day. We dont know how long the tradition will continue so we cherish everyone we get! The boys are showing a little bit of their excitement in the next picture. It was a long day and still had more to go.


We always take a mini family vacation around the first of the year to celebrate at a hotel in the area and eat Crystal Burgers for a late night snack. I am not sure who looks forward to our little trip more the boys or Roger and I. We so enjoy our family time together and are so thankful that God has given us two great boys with humungo hearts, great family around us to watch them grow into great Scott Men. As we brought in the new year, the boys falling asleep to a movie and Roger and I on the internet looking for lamps, we are greatful for the provisions we have been given!

That's a rap continued

Thanksgiving was very feastful for us. Jonny got to experience his first feast at school. It was so cool watching the kids eat their turkey lunch meat and visiting with one another dressed as Native Americans and Pligrims. As you can see my little Native American is still a little goofy:)
Oh looky here. Great Aunt Tammy got to see her great nephew Dillon Seth the day he entered this old world. His mommy is doing great and he is so yummy. It is hard to believe that my sister not only hit 40 but she became a grandma too. She knows I love her with all my heart but just cant resist reminding her she hit 40 before I did. I hope you enjoy my little cuttie patootie. I am sure there will be more pics coming soon.
Here I am holding my little buddy.
The Scott Family tradition every Christmas is to travel to Terrell to Walls Family Farm to cut down our Christmas Tree. Papaw got to make the journey with us this time. We were sad that Mimi was sick and couldnt join us. Maybe next year! So timmmmmbbbbbeeerrrr. Our tree and the faithful tree hunters.
Now this is Jonny's teacher on our way to Canton to a tree farm with 5 other classes of kindergarten. We made a day of it and I think we were all having a simular look on our face. Most of the kids fell asleep on the way home and were ready to go again once we arrived back at school. We had a total blast. Jonny has a new classmate and he has not been in the states very long. He so enjoyed roasting marshmellows and taking a hayride! He had a smile bigger than Texas. Jonny has taken him under his wing to help him learn how things work in class. Thats my boy!

Well that about sums up the Scott family year. We are recooperating from the busyness of the holidays and will take a little over night trip to make our vacation complete.

We pray that you and your family enjoyed your time together and took a moment to remember that Jesus was born on Christmas morn and that He is why we celebrate.
