Christmas 2007

Move over Jeff Gordon....

Isn't this illegal in some states???

Special Delivery....

Fun with Daddy...

Ryder loves his dump truck....


I know this blog is out of order, but go figure that I left my camera at home when we went to Colts parents for Christmas. We took all the pictures on his sisters camera and I just got them last night. Anyway, I had to post the pictures of Ryder's Santa gift. I told Colt that it was too much for him at 17 months, but he never listens to me. It must be a man thing because he insisted on buying him this jeep. He assured me that it's not too big and he'll know how to drive it (yeah, right!) I have to admit that it's really cool because it has a built in radio and goes in forward and reverse. He can only play in it on nice days because it's way too big for the inside of the house. Not to mention the fact that he can't even drive it. He prefers to sit in the drivers seat and dance to the radio music or just honk the horn; over and over and over and over and over again. Yeahh, it's TONS of fun! Maybe he will appreciate it when he older; for now feel free to bring your children to my house. They can drive Ryder around in his own car because he's not big enough to drive himself. Moral of the story??? MAMA always knows best :) After saying all this, I will also say that Colt was an extremely proud daddy on Christmas morning and I'm thankful that he was so thrilled to make his son so happy! I've certainly got a good one and I guess I'll keep him for a while longer!

Some of these are just random pictures. Ryder loves to climb in things and pretend he's asleep; this was just a funny picture.

Careful there, Cowboy!

Ryder and Mama

Come and get me!!!!

Ryder and my Granddaddy

Hey Cowboy!!!

It's hard to believe that another year has come and gone. You know you're getting old when you complain about the years passing too quickly. Anyway, looking back it's been a great year for Colt and I. It's included many transitions with both of our careers, but everything has turned out better than I could have dreamed. Ryder is almost 1 1/2 years old and that's really hard to believe. He is certainly our pride and joy and we can't remember what life was like before him. Probably our biggest surprise of the year was finding out about "baby sister". She is commonly referred to as baby sister, because we still can settle on a name. We better figure it out quickly because I'm ready to start working in her nursery and having things embroidered. Maybe yall should help name our baby. Lisa's been trying for a while, her suggestion was Karter. I think it's cute, but Colt doesn't like it....go figure. I'm making a rule that anyone who reads this entry has to respond and include a girl name suggestion.

Anyway, I hope everyone has had a great year and is looking forward to an even better 2008. Here are a few more pictures. One of the Sants's (my parents) got Ryder a rocking horse for Christmas. He absolutely loves it and rides it so fast that it keeps tipping over on him. You think that he would learn....oh well, he's used to the bruises. Have a great week!

Ryder loves his bubble baths...

What a little stud....

Daddy and a book before bedtime...

Giddy up....

The infamous cherry pie...



Well these aren't quite the "Thanksgiving" pictures I talked about last time. I only got one and he's not even looking at the camera, oh well. Life here is kind of crazy right now. I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping and have had so much fun getting it all done this year. The girls came over for breakfast this morning and that's always fun. We ate a lot of food and exchanged christmas gifts. I love the fact that almost everyones schedule works so that we can do stuff like that!
All is well in baby land. I've tried not to buy any baby clothes until after Christmas, but I broke down and bought a pair of shoes the other day. They are silver, glitter ballet flats with a velvet bow. Prissy??? oh yes! Our latest battle has been coming up with a name. Colt lOVES the name Kallie. I like it, but we already have a friend named Callie and that's kind of wierd. I really like Allie and that's a great compromise; just drop the K. It's no suprise that he doesn't agree. I think it would be neat to name her Allie Suzanne Scott. The only problem is that her initials would be "ASS", and that's not a nice thing to do to your kid. There is only one name that (so far) we both like, even though it's not a favorite. What do you think about Harlee? She would be Harlee Ann Scott. Some people will probably hate that for a girl. It's also strange that our sons name is Ryder. Ryder and Harlee???? Does anyone else thinks that's wierd?
One story and I'll quit babbling. The other day, Colt was supposed to be watching Ryder while I was getting dressed. Things were too quiet in the front part of the house, so I went to make sure everything was okay. Knowing what an attentive husband I have, I walked in the kitchen to find Ryder eating a cherry pie that was on the very back of the stove top. He had opened the stove to climb onto the door, so that he could reach the pie. I knew I should have spanked him for touching the oven, but I was proud of him for being resourceful. If you want something, figure out a way to get it...that's my boy. Also, I didn't think it was fair to take his picture and then spank him, so I just let it go.
Yall have a great week!

Pink is in our future...

I will post again later with our Thanksgiving pictures, but just wanted to make our big announcement. We found out yesterday that we're having a girl. I'm still in a bit of shock over that, but that's okay. We're very excited! Have a wonderful thanksgiving; I know that we will!

Colt wasn't very happy with my choice in Halloween costumes. I kept telling him, "you have to have vision; I promise he will be so cute." I don't think he was worried about the cute factor; he was thinking of a costume that was more manly and masculine. In fact, his exact words were, "are you trying to make our son gay?" I still think he looked adorable and so did everyone else. For those of you who are very detail oriented, I am fully aware that the sleeves are navy. The tag said black when I bought the shirt and it looked really dark...oh well.
We went to Ft. Sumner for the weekend and took Kyle with us. These are pictures of the boys riding on the horses. I didn't realize that Kyle had never been on a horse; he really enjoyed it. I threw in the picture of Colt and Kyle because I thought it was so cute. Colt is really good with him and in this picture, Kyle insisted that they hold hands...precious!
Not too much to write about. I went to the doctor last week and feel much better. A lot of my pregnancy issues have gone away (for now) and I'll enjoy this time while I have it.
By the was ONLY 48 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!!!! I shopped all morning and it was so fun. This also means that I get to put up my tree in 16 days. Colt is SSOOOOO excited about that (not really). Later Gators!

I want everyone to know how blessed and thankful I am to be pregnant and for it to be a healthy pregnancy for me and the baby (as far as we know anyway). However, I have decided that I HATE being pregnant. I'm 13 weeks now and still don't feel good, I'm getting fatter and grouchier everyday. I have always wanted 3 kids, but I told Colt that "we're done", unless he wants to adopt. I'm not doing this anymore because honestly, it just sucks. I know that's not a very nice attitude to have, but it's where I'm at right now. Okay, I feel better for getting that out. On to other things.....These are just a couple random pictures of Ryder. The 3rd one is funny because that's our doggy door, and he is always trying to escape to the backyard. I never realized how dirty the door and wall are until I looked at this picture. Just ignore that part. I'll try to get it cleaned this week (we all know that's probably not going to happen). Anyway, I've been tagged. I feel like I've done this before, but can't remember. Oh well, you get to hear about it again.

It's been forever, I know and I'm sorry. Things have been pretty busy around here. In case you don't already know, Ryder is going to be a big brother in May. I'm 10 weeks and would like to think that I'm passed most of the bad part, for now anyway. I feel really good and have only gained 4 pounds. I know that sounds like a lot, but I had already gained 13 pounds at 10 weeks with Ryder. We're doing things differently this time. Eventually, we'll find out what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's another boy. I can't imagine my life with a girl, and I want Ryder to have a brother to wrestle and play with.
Here are some pictures from the last few months. Ryder got his first black eye in August and it turned into his entire cheek. This picture does it NO justice...I was such a proud mom! Would have been prouder if I could say it was from playing football or something like that, but he tripped and fell into the fireplace...that's okay; he only cried for a minute! I hope everyone is doing going and I'll try to post again before 2008. Just kidding, I promise.
