December 15, 2008 - MTSU Basketball game

My Poppy (Phil) went with us to the MTSU basketball game. I wore my little cheerleading out fit that Daddy's customers, The Doves, got for me. I also ate popcorn and loved it!

December 10th, 2008 1st steps!

Merry Christmas - 9 months - we put Scotlyn infront of the Christmas tree this morning to take her picture for our Christmas cards. We "dangled" a cookie infront of her to get her to stay standing and she took 3 steps to get to us... (and the cookie) and then starting clapping.... vwah lah... our Christmas card! Hope you got yours!

11/16/2008-Library Sneak Peak! Gallatin's New Library had a preview party today and we went to see the new library and find the brick we purchased in Scotlyn's honor before she was born! We found the brick and she loved the library (the stuffed animals a little more than the books!) There were beautiful flowers everywhere including the "grand opening" arrangement seen here that was all fresh! we look forward to enjoying the new Gallatin Library for years to come! http://www.gallatinlibrary.org/

A Ruby Visit - Our friends, the Paynes, have a basset hound, Ruby, who used to come visit Jon Phillip and Amy on a regular basis. Since Scotlyn arrived, Ruby's visits have all but ceased and we've only seen Ruby about 4 times since March. She showed up this morning and Scotlyn LOVES her! Here you can see Scotlyn greeting Ruby while mommy went to get a treat for the puppy.

Election 2008! My first election! We waited in line for early voting for about 1.5 hours. She was a trooper and entertained those other voters around us

11/1/2008 - Granna's Birthday! Today was Marsha's 60th Birthday. We surprised her by meeting her and her friends for a dinner at the club. It was a fun night with friends and family. Dollie and Jim, Stites Ray and Nancy and Peggy and John were all in on the surprise and there to celebrate with us. Scotlyn, of course, loved the party!

Have you ever seen a cuter pumpkin? Scotlyn's 1st Halloween

Zoo - Sat 10/18/2008 We took Scotlyn to the Zoo on Saturday! She loved anything she could see move! (the other children there were a main attraction to her) The little black goat in the petting zoo and the black monkey were two of her favorites! (i think she thought they were her favorite dog-Adler!) She was amazed by the giraffes, just like her mommy, with their graceful movements and the little meerkat that just stood and looked at her while she sat in her stroller and stared at it was very intriguing! It was a fun afternoon and we will go back!

She Loves her Uncle Kyle! They came out for dinner and she just played in the floor (and tried to chase Adler!) She actually fell asleep in Uncle Kyle's arms, when he quit laughing at her keeping one eye open to watch him!)

Race for the Cure! Scotlyn, Nana, Papa, Jon and I all joined our friend Kendall and her family in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure for Breast Cancer! What a gorgeous day and a great cause! A good time was had by all and Scotlyn took a nap afterwards like never before! She was so excited she missed her morning nap! Thanks for getting us all together Kendall! We love you and support you and look forward to finding a cure for this disease!

We had a ball Wednesday night! We went to our friends, The Hitchcocks, and had dinner! Scotlyn played with Brody and baby Colby is soooo sweet! Jason and Becca, we've missed you all and it was great to catch up! let's not wait so long till next time! You can keep up with the Hitchcocks at http://www.hitchcockreport.com/

Can I just say I cannot bring myself to mess up my butterfly/hummingbird garden to plant pansies and mums!!!! Check out these pictures I took today! The Hummingbirds were scared when I went out, but there were 2 hummingbirds and 8 butterflies when I went out this morning!

Well... we TRIED green peas, and...
