The latest and greatest

We had the most wonderful week in Utah for my little brother Cameron's homecoming. We played and played some more. It was awesome finally having my entire family all together again. Cameron had never met Kellen or Brady before, so it was bittersweet seeing him meet them for the first time. Cameron is truly incredible, and I am in awe at his hard work and perseverance in bringing the gospel to so many people. I look up to him so much and hope I can follow his example.

All the Scott grandkids. Kellen has not stopped talking about them ever since we returned home. They are all best friends.

Greeting him at the airport.

This was my favorite picture we took at the Zoo. Kellen just resting his hand on Brady's head.hehe

Enjoying Sconecutter after the Real soccer game.

Enjoying the pool.

Going to see Reese in her ballet class...what a cutie.

In the moutains, my absolute favorite time of the year in Utah. Yes, my sister-in-law is wearing high heels, and yes I am very short.

You Are My Sunshine

As soon as Kellen goes to sleep, Tyler and I talk about all the funny things he's done that day. He is a constant ball of energy from sun up to sun down. Wether it's finding his beautiful artwork on the wall, catching him playing in the sprinklers, or walking around in my high heels, He always brightens up our day.

Brady's Baby Blessing

We were pleasantly surprised when Tyler's family told us they would be coming to Arizona for Brady's baby blessing. It was great to have them, especially because we finally have a place they can stay.
The day was wonderful, Tyler gave him a wonderful Priesthood blessing. After church, we came back and had a big family dinner with everyone. It was a quick trip for them, but filled with lots of good conversations, an awesome BYU game, and yummy food.

Here is the handsome Mr. Brady. My mom surpised us with a blessing outfit for him in the mail, however, it didn't fit. I had to take it back to the distribution center and get the bigger 3-6 month size. Yeah, he's only two months old, he's a big boy.

Trying to get a good picture of Brady and Kellen. Yes, it didn't work out so well. Poor little Brady, I love his crying face.

Big Shoes and Counting

While reading his Dora the Explorer book the other day, Kellen began counting the missing baskets on the last page. Tyler and I were in complete shock. Of course it wasn't perfect, but it was pretty close. So, I guess Dora really does teach him things. I don't feel so guilty now for letting him watch an episode every day:)


...don't worry, he watches more than one episode of something a day...it's survival time.

Hair Cut

Tyler and I cut it today with an electric trimmer. He cried the entire time. We would remind him how cute his hair looked throughout the day, and what a good boy he was, and he would always reply with "I cry". It was very traumatic for him. I love how much bigger it makes his blue eyes look. Hopefully he won't sweat as much now in this Arizona heat.

Lovin Life

Alright, I have some time for an update, Kellen is playing in our bathtub (don't worry, no water is in there) and the baby is sleeping....


Tyler and I were very adventurous four weeks after Brady arrived and decided to head to Utah for a visit/family reunion. His family was having a reunion in Hanna, Utah and mine were dying to see Brady, so we made the 10 hr drive. It was a little challenging but Dora the Explorer was a life saver. The first day was Pioneer Day and we had an awesome BBQ and firework show with my family. The next day Tyler took Kellen up to the family reunion campground. I was a little nervous Tyler camping with little Kellen, but Tyler has no fear. I debated wether I should join them, and decided to for a night. The only reason I accepted was because I got to stay in a cabin. It was fun to see everyone and enjoy the mountain air. Kellen did fairly well camping but did have some challenging moments, mostly because he didn't have any toys to play with there. When I returned home, I enjoyed spending more time with my family. It was a great trip.

Our friend Gina and her two twin girls. She named them Chloe and Charlotte after my sister and I. How cool is that.

Brady Update - Brady is absolutely wonderful and so hadsome, I just want to kiss his chubby cheeks all day. He is so darn cute, but does not like to sleep much during the day. He loves to be held all day and as soon as you put him down he starts crying. He has a little problem with acid reflex which makes it difficult for him to sleep. I seem to have hard babies for the first few months, so we're looking forward to some calmer days. It can definitely be challenging having a toddler still so dependant on you and a new baby but we're trying to enjoy every minute. I love being a new mom.
Chubby boy:)

Kellen Update - Kellen is talking so much lately. He rambles off words and phrases that have Tyelr and I laughing on the ground. He is obsessed with Brady and has only tried hitting him a couple times, which isn't too bad when you think about it. He smothers him with kisses still and loves putting his face in his and screaming HI BABY over and over. He can have his challenging moments also with a new baby and can throw quite a few tantrums each day, but we're working on a new time out method and learning how to be a good boy. Love him.
When you don't keep your eye on him, this is what happens.
What a great picture.

Tyler Update - Tyler is still off work. Yes, that's right, don't feel bad for me, My husband has had a grand 12 week maternity leave paid in full. I have been so lucky to have him home and it has been really fun. He is a hard worker and has been busy fixing up our house, painting, and tons of other things. He is such a good help and I think we've decided to have antoher baby next year so he can get 12 weeks off again...Haha, Yeah Right...tempting though.
