February Update

It has been fun to see Carter getting a personality. He is such a sweet boy. He loves watching EmmaLee play, and she can probably make him laugh harder than anyone. However, he doesn't like her to hold him. He just whines and wiggles until she lets him go! I also have a picture of him on my phone and every time I show it to him, he smiles and starts laughing, it's super cute!




Here is EmmaLee on Valentines day. It had snowed all morning, and she wanted to pass out her valentines to all of her friends, so Neil was gracious enough to pull her around in her tube while they went around to the different houses. She was so excited (even though she didn't really know what Valentines day was for!)







Here is a random picture of us hanging out in the hallway. Something we do a lot since Carter has started crawling every where! Everyday I think Carter finds more and more he can get into! This picture captures a good look into our everyday life, because as you can see EmmaLee is holding one of her dolls. If you are ever over at our house, you will always see her with a baby in her arms, or one close by!







This is a picture of the burger, Neil wanted to have for his Birthday. A grilled cheese sandwich on the bottom, a burger, sauteed onions and mushrooms, bacon, lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mustard and then another grilled cheese sandwich on top! It actually was delicious! Very filling, and not good for the figure, but yummy!

In Neil's family, they started a tradition where instead of giving gifts to each other, they do a type of service project for that person, of their choice. Neil wanted our cars washed, detailed and have the oil changed. It actually has been a lot of fun having everyone working together to complete the task that the Birthday person has asked. (plus this time, I benefited from the task, so it was a bonus!) Needless to say, Neil's car hasn't been that clean in a long time! It was a great gift! Happy Birthday Babe! We also celebrated his birthday, along with three other February birthdays in my family, at my parent's house. (no pictures, I forgot my camera) It was a fun night with everyone. I think Neil's highlight was when he got to take a ride in my sister, Jennifer and Dave's new porsche. He loved that! He talked about it all the way home, letting me know that I should never buy him one due to a problem he would have in accelerating at too high of speeds!

So that's about all we've been doing this month. It's amazing how fast the month of February goes by when they cut out a few days. It's fine with me, I'm just excited for Spring!

This is a picture of me in Chicago by Oprah's studio the summer of 2007. I didn't get to see a show, it was just one of the landmarks that we wanted to see while we were in Chicago. I just jumped out of the car, while Neil took a couple of pictures and then I jumped back in. It's just outside of the city in a neighborhood that I would have never imagined it to be! Even though I didn't get to see Oprah, it was just cool to say I've been to her studio and I know where it's located.

I tag Amy, Rachael, Jen, Laurisa, Chelsea, Julie. (Mindy, I would tag you, but you've already been tagged! )

Shoes! Who knew it could get this complex!

Another disclaimer: It's not too exciting around the Scott home, so the only thing I could think to write about are shoes. Pretty sad, I know! I really need to get out more! I can't wait for the warmer weather. Seriously, I can't!
I decided to blog about shoes because for some reason they have recently made a big impact on my life. Everyone loves shoes, well I certainly do! Neil and I were out shopping and we both found some great shoes that we really liked, and were pretty reasonable in price, which doesn't happen that often. I also found a cute pair for EmmaLee, but that's a whole other story! Anyway, we not only found one pair each, but two pair! Neil found some great Basketball shoes which he fell in love with the quality and the price, and I found some great dressy shoes with the perfect heel and style! Both of which we have been looking for a while now. So, of course we had to buy those shoes that we found. But of course came the second pair of shoes that neither of us needed, but thought were really great! We both debated and I told Neil that if I don't buy these shoes, then I'll regret it! (we were shopping at Ross, so it is a hit and miss store. If you don't buy it, you'll never see it again) Neil also decided that he would also buy his other pair of shoes. Later that night it was getting late and we hadn't done our exercising/running for the day. Neil decided to jump on the treadmill and run. By the time he was finished I was very comfortable and since it was so late, didn't think I wanted to jump on and run. However, Neil brought up our shoe purchases from earlier in the day. He said to think about the shoes. Shoes? He reminded me that I bought that other pair of shoes because I would have regret it, if I didn't. And if I didn't run, I would wake up the next day and regret it, just like the shoes. He was right. I swear, the only reason I ran that night was because of some silly comment I had made earlier! Of course, I was glad I did. But shoes never solve all problems, they just get you into trouble. Now, a few days later, we have moved on to a new shoe problem. (I don't know what is up with us and shoes, it seems so silly!) Neil and I had a bet a few weeks ago, well I wouldn't say it was a bet maybe just a challenge, that if I could run three miles non-stop that I could get some new running shoes. (the reason for this is because my running shoes I have now are a little too small and I have had them for four years) Of course I couldn't pass that up and I ran, although very bored since I had to run on the treadmill, the three miles! Yea! But now, I have two other pairs sitting in my closet that we just purchased (they are for my Birthday in April, so I have to wait to wear them, Bummer!) Now the dilemma is: is it reasonable to buy me another pair of shoes? I think yes, but there are lots of other better reasons why not too. (mostly financially, I don't know what I was thinking!) It all boils down to this... I probably just need to get a life! My poor husband, he has to put up with me and all of my issues about shoes! What do you think?
