It has been a very long time since I have had any inspiration or drive to blog. Sad really. I could gloat and brag about my amazing kids, husband, dog, vacations, yada yada, but I don't. I live an amazeballs life. I know it. Yes, I take it all for granted 80% of the time, but I know its grand. But for some reason, I cannot blog about that stuff. I think my blog has become more of a canvas for my thoughts or rants. Depends on the state of my mental disorder I guess. Right now I am Angry. Terrified. Sad. Anxious. And I just want to crawl out of my flipping skin. Pop a few more milligrams of the old Celexa I guess.
How could this happen? How can something so horrific happen to Gods greatest blessings? As I am typing this Ele is on sitting next to me watching Martha Speaks on the Ipad, and Monkey is snoring. Smiling in his sleep. They have no idea the evil that has fallen upon this earth and taken so many little angels just like them. I want it to stay like this forever. I want them little. Innocent. Small. Ignorant to all the shit on this corrupt planet. Sleep with heavy breathing, no fears or dread of waking up and seeing disaster or hate.
Why? I just don't understand it. I guess I never will. I just want to protect my babies. I can't sit still during the day. I don't relax until my Blue is in my car, out of school driving home. Home. Where its safe. Please God. Keep these precious angels safe. I know those 26 children and adults are in a better place. I know they are in the arms of our Lord. But, the terror. The terror they and all the survivors had to experience. The sorrow their families feel. Their empty beds at night. Their little bikes lying in the garage. Their little clothes hanging in their closets. Their pictures of their beautiful faces of better times. Smiling. Laughing. I feel so much pain for these families that I have a hallow ache in my chest. How do we prepare our little ones for something like this? Jac and I haven't talked to the kids about this horrific tragedy yet. I don't know how too. How do I look at those crystal blue eyes and tell them that there are such bad people out there that can walk into your school and gun you down. How? I haven't prayed so hard in a long time. I ask for peace and guidance hourly.
President Obama's speech was perfection. If you didn't see his address you should watch it. I cried through the entire thing. Oh, and for those of you who say he's the Anti-Christ and he's not a Christian, well, you'd be mistaken. He starts his address out with scripture and speaks of the children coming unto Christ. So how 'bout them apples?!
I will not take for granted another second on this earth with my family. Not one. I will make every second count. Love them. Hold them. roll in the snow with them. blow milk bubbles with them. read to them. cherish their laughter and screams. watch barbie and foxy over and over with them. tie shoes over and over. play sponge bob match game and candy land with them. Sing to them. Listen to party rocker anthem all day with them. Steal kisses and squishes whenever I can. Everything with them. Because the whole purpose on this corrupt ball of dirt we call earth is for them. About them. So hold yours. kiss them longer and more. Cause it could all go. In an instant.
God is there. He loves us and comforts us. I feel his presence all the time. Especially when I with my sweet minis. I go to him often now and am so grateful for him and his Son our Savior.
Hope you all have an enchanting Christmas.

I do. I found myself staring and pulling at my face the other night after washing my makeup off. "Wow, Kel, you're getting old " I thought. Depression, fear, annoyance set in all at the same time. So, I start planning my botox\filler schedule. Thinking about my plea to Jac why I need it. "I can't look old!" "I already have gray hair babe, don't make me have to walk around with wrinkles too!!!" "I need to lose weight so bad, this will help me feel better about myself." Yep, these are the excuses coming into my head. I am all about beauty. do what you need to do to feel good about yourself. I LOVE makeup and hair dye, and I am NOT against plastic surgery. I would do LOTS and LOTS if I had the money. Just being honest y'all. So, the next thought that passes through my oh so tired mind is, WHY? Why do I have these little dents, wrinkles next to my eyebrows, that I get waxed and groomed every three weeks thank you very much. Well, I am going to share with you why. BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS SCOWLING!!!! Yes, I squint cause I don't wear my glasses and I HATE contacts. My sister makes fun of me for it, BUT the main reason is because I scowl. I have said before that I am a bitch and its true. I am angry, judgmental, snotty, and rude. I am Carrie Heffernan from King of Queens. Its funny yes, and I make my mom laugh hysterically when we're out and I am being my rude self to annoying people, but its now starting to give me INDENTS on my face! Oh no! This has to stop I tell you! STOP!!! I need to stop being mean. But, how do I stop the thoughts in my head? I'll tell you how. Watch your BEAUTIFUL daughter start acting like you and you will stop dead in your tracks. Stop instantly. My sweet Blue. Oh she is so sweet, kind, and fun. But she is starting to be snotty and rude. Why wouldn't she be. She is with me the majority of the time. She yells at me and Phin and I jumped all over her for it. Me, yelling at her for yelling at me or Phin. Really? So not right. I don't want to be that mom. I don't want Ele to be that angry kid. I want her to always shine and smile. My heart hurts while I'm writing this. She is precious. She is a gift from God that I have been entrusted to love, adore, teach and protect but I'm not. I am allowing her to start off her life angry. I have always been full of anger. I feel it non stop. I use to kick holes in walls, break toys, beat the shiz out my sister and now I am allowing it to hurt my kids futures. Wrong. Sad. Terrifying. I'm overwhelmed with distress, fear that they will be dysfunctional, messed up adults. I need to get this crap in check. I suffer from depression, i've complained about it plenty on this here lil' blog of mine. But that is no excuse for hurting my childrens innocence and future. I have been reading my Sis in laws AMAZINGLY honest blog, <a href="http://angrymomsinrecovery.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Angry Mom's in Recovery.</span></a> She is so honest about her anger and how it affects her life as a mother of four. My other Sis in law also blogs about her journey of recovering from anger issues. They truly are amazing to me and how they're honesty and bravery can help so many of us. They posted about a book called Anger Kills. You can check it out here: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Anger-Kills-Seventeen-Strategies-Controlling/dp/0061097535">Anger Kills</a>. I am so reading this book. Yes, to help with my Scowl dents, but mostly for the three most important peeps in my life. Jac and the minnies. They don't deserve this. I snap at Jac ALL THE TIME! We are and awesome duo, but I have got to be nicer to this man. He truly is a living Angel. No he's not perfect, and he has is "A-hole" moments, (his words) but he is so patient with me. I ADORE my family and will do anything to make their world better. Oh and my wrinkles too:D <br />So, I am hoping to be better and stop and smell the roses more. Realize I can't control everything even though I sure as hell try. <br />So, here's to hoping for a nicer Kelly. And too you all for being my friends through it all. I don't know what I would do without you all. I have two of the most AMAZING sisters in the world who hear it all from me and don't judge, They solve the worlds problems with me and we laugh and cry through it all. I am so blessed and need be more appreciative of all of my wonderful bliss. <br />Cheers friends.thescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-60130032209201935272011-11-28T08:22:00.000-08:002011-11-28T09:27:15.940-08:00Gratitude.Forgiveness.Humility<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg95UMLeDWMcXyFqPJi5ns9JK31jO6w5HfqCine4J8PWEcE4MccBvADbx7wNjdPrRg5FOxmiMyyr2Unk6j218CMOD_e3GLLwmr7WPmGXgjamx3hmfTyeBhIfVQqAQZzEq9KmH1Ex3FNwKw/s1600/christmas+peace.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 187px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg95UMLeDWMcXyFqPJi5ns9JK31jO6w5HfqCine4J8PWEcE4MccBvADbx7wNjdPrRg5FOxmiMyyr2Unk6j218CMOD_e3GLLwmr7WPmGXgjamx3hmfTyeBhIfVQqAQZzEq9KmH1Ex3FNwKw/s400/christmas+peace.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680099502724852914" /></a><br />It has been a VERY long time since I have even considered a blog post. I don't know why. Maybe its just that life has just gotten away from me. I don't know. I have had a lot of ideas and have actually started several posts over the last few months, but none of them worked. For me right now I am just grateful to be breathing. Life has gotten even crazier than ever, hard to believe, but it has. The Scott's are here and just treading right now. Trying to figure it all out. But we're good. I have just realized what is important and what is not. And keeping up with the "Jones" is not important. My little family has had its ups and downs this past six months, but we are still happy and stronger for our trials. I have mentioned in the past that I am not a very good church goer, and I have my issues with The Gospel, but I am truly grateful for my Heavenly Father and The Savior. Without them this past several weeks, I wouldn't of made it. Grateful for my Faith and my Family's Faith. I am grateful for The Lord's forgiveness and His love that I feel every second of the day. I have so much to be grateful for, and sometimes things get forced into prospective. I have been so discouraged lately, and at times I don't know what to do to not be. I find Joy in my minnies and my family. Jac is a great support and SO understanding. I am very grateful for him and his Love. I have been so blessed with the best family. I have two of the most loving, sweet, and fun sisters in the world, two Parents that love me no matter what stupid mistakes I make, and love me through them all. They are so understanding and helpful. LOVE to talk to my mom every morning. Sometimes she is what gets me going and kicks me in the butt. My dad. Wow. I don't even know what to say about him. My chest gets all tight and my eyes burn with tears when I think of my sweet Pops. He's a man of few words, but every single word of wisdom he gives me, is exactly what I need to hear. I love them dearly and am so grateful for the guidance and love they still give me everyday. I am also so thankful for my friends. They make me laugh and I enjoy our girls nights. <br />I know this post will make some of you wonder what this is all about. Its about my life. My crazy boring life. I can't explain what is in my heart right now, but l have experienced some very humbling trials lately. And without them, I don't know where I would be. I know God doesn't give us more than we can handle, but I never knew I would learn so much much from them. I have so much. So much. But I am always thinking I need more. Though its not bad to keep working and want for things. But, for me, it is now more about fulfilling my spiritual wants and needs, and filling those empty hollows in my Soul. Is this making sense? Probably not, but its my rantings and for some reason its making me feel better. I am trying to raise my kids the best I can. It sucks sometimes to watch them go through their trials and struggles. Sucks bad. They are my joy. My light. And my everything. <br />I guess what it all comes down to for me, is I'm tired. I'm tired of trying to be something I'm not. Tired of trying to keep up. Keep with the "Beer Commercial" life. So what if I like just be at home reading, playing with my kids, making my lists:D I will be me. And that is all I can do. Put God first, and everything will fall into place. Trust in the Lord. Two things I haven't done in a long, LONG time. I just feel like somethings missing in me. Maybe this is it. I don't know. I am content and happy. Just need to feel peace and comfort. I LOVE my husband soooooooooooo much and am so grateful for our 13 year marriage. He's my best friend. Gave me two beautiful babies that bring so much everything into this home. They just radiate Love don't they?! <br />Hope you are all well, and have Peace. That's my goal for the 2012 year.

For those of you who know us, you know that is nothing compared to how much he travels. BUT, for some reason, this trip has been a hard one. I miss him so much! I always miss him don't get me wrong, but this time I really, really miss him:( Maybe its because I know that he will come home for two days, then leave for a week, then come home from that trip for three days, and then leave AGAIN for two weeks. I don't know. All I know is I miss him, and I think he's pretty swell. He is such a hard working guy who adores us, and we ADORE AND LOVE HIM. Oh, and I think he's pretty cute:Dthescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-9913907830694928382011-05-28T14:00:00.000-07:002011-06-05T09:21:18.463-07:00Please excuse the suckiness!Well, I have definitely sucked when it came to this here blog this past couple of months. Wow, life was CRAZY BUSY! I can't believe how quickly April and May have flown by. I think I got some serious whiplash from the speed of it all. I have been bogged down with all the normallcies of mommy and wifeyhood, with a some added stresses. Jac works full time at UVU as their head photographer, goes to school full time, AND runs our side photography business. So, needless to say, I am a solo Mama most of the time. So, when things come to a head, which it seems EVERYTHING did this past two months, I have to endure and do it mostly alone. Which, I don't complain, cuz, I'm a lucky lady that's for sure. <br />So, I'm gonna give a run down of what has been been going down at Casa Scott. <br />April -<br />my birfday. I can say that this was one of my most favorite birthdays of all time. I had such a wonderful day. I spent the day lunching and shopping with my bestie/sistah Candace. We took the minnies to Red Robin ate some Yum food, and then headed over to Sephora in the Provo Mall. NOT the best Sephora, but it did the trick. I got some new makeup that I have been wanting. So AMAZING! I LOVE makeup. I could spend a week in Sephora and still not want to leave. I ended up walking out with <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/12-shadows-eyeshadows/91663,default,pd.html"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Urban Decay Naked<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span></a> eyeshadow palette,<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6m3mKTf328op1K72dML9MXsZfWeRkCl9WIADlpEtwZtseDgJNYNqeSDKn4wDYJ4RwHBZh_Scm58AlZSqHcC0uQIxJp25A02FDdiIvC_0GGzZ_Dt0RhXiCqcTUfKrkcB3wiTrtTxT1gk/s1600/urban-decay-naked-pallete-sephora-buy-sell.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 188px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6m3mKTf328op1K72dML9MXsZfWeRkCl9WIADlpEtwZtseDgJNYNqeSDKn4wDYJ4RwHBZh_Scm58AlZSqHcC0uQIxJp25A02FDdiIvC_0GGzZ_Dt0RhXiCqcTUfKrkcB3wiTrtTxT1gk/s400/urban-decay-naked-pallete-sephora-buy-sell.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614765990853951474" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcTpWvnzktI4dBpVeavXfgGa4R3sjRQ0SbK340uh2pWGfsK0sVa25gqr7CFGjnXTrzn8FWX0YrnbgAgxyceF8qO8-tlQUyPdLiqYXq0fo_Wyn05E63EEvKkjwv5TsA80Uj-JKQmvgWmXk/s1600/blush.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 255px; height: 257px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcTpWvnzktI4dBpVeavXfgGa4R3sjRQ0SbK340uh2pWGfsK0sVa25gqr7CFGjnXTrzn8FWX0YrnbgAgxyceF8qO8-tlQUyPdLiqYXq0fo_Wyn05E63EEvKkjwv5TsA80Uj-JKQmvgWmXk/s400/blush.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614765984455244434" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"> <a href="http://www.narscosmetics.com/Blush-C39_makeup_7.aspx">NARS Orgasm blush</a><a href="http://www.narscosmetics.com/Blush-C39_makeup_7.aspx"></a></span>, and <span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.narscosmetics.com/Lip-Gloss-C11_makeup_7.aspx">NARS Orgasm lipgloss</a><a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P2862&categoryId=B70"></a></span>. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWBYHTk4uSoaN_O-OGJn1gbSqR2bAZx_h0EA0Y4cCYz1kW5Gmua4vUJRCMoxyVMf8idl33ef33WxesBAaOMfe7Q2QdUuft5m6YTuIg89MAxtplgnB7ODEdl6iwivvozbuKbtFW_BIrD2U/s1600/nars%252Bgloss.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWBYHTk4uSoaN_O-OGJn1gbSqR2bAZx_h0EA0Y4cCYz1kW5Gmua4vUJRCMoxyVMf8idl33ef33WxesBAaOMfe7Q2QdUuft5m6YTuIg89MAxtplgnB7ODEdl6iwivvozbuKbtFW_BIrD2U/s400/nars%252Bgloss.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614765997917497922" /></a><br />I AM IN LOVE with it all and I use it all everyday!!!<br />That night my parents watched Ele and Phin, and Jac and I went out to dinner and more shopping. I LOVE my hubs and enjoy every date we get. He surprised me with a new Cannon printer. I have been needing/wanting a new printer for a while, and now I have a GREAT one. <br />We had Easter the next Sunday and WOW how fun it was. Minnies woke up to some fun Easter bunny baskets with lots and lots of toys, bubbles, gardening stuff, and a little bit of candy. We made a yum breakfast and actually made it to church. <br />That afternoon we headed over to Gram and Papa's for a fun Easter egg hunt with my Sis and her family and had a great dinner. It was a wonderful Easter.<br />The rest of the month of April was filled with lots and lots of play dates with friends, cleaning, school parties, family activities, dinner parties with friends, and lots and lots of CLEANING! Did I mention cleaning? hehehe! My house and my family are such a huge priority to me, and at times I have neglected them. I have decided to make sure I put my family and our humble abode at the top of my list, and I have to say, its paying off. I LOVE things organized and pretty. So, its been a work in progress with a huge payoff for me and my family.<br /><br />May - <br />Well, lets just say this months has been ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!!! I have had to really reorganize my schedule and find time to get it ALL done. We had lots and lots of school activities, and with me being the Room Mom for Ele's class, I had lots of obligations. I really enjoy crafting/creating stuff, so it was fun to get to make Mrs. T. her candy gram poster, plan a little party for her to present a thank you gift from her kids and parents. It was great to see her so excited. We have been so lucky to have such a great Kindergarten teacher for Ele. She will forever be in our family and we love her.<br />Mothers Day was a great day. I got to sleep in, NICE! Jac and the Minnies made me breakfast in bed and cards. We had a great day of staying home in Jammies and watching lots of Nascar:D We then went to visit our Mom's. We are both so blessed to have such fabulous moms and we love them both sooooooooooooooo much!! <br />We had lots and lots of dance rehearsals for Ele's dance concert with Jive. She did an AMAZING job. We are so proud of our little dancer. She and her class danced to "Boogie Shoes". so cute! BUT, I am so glad dance is over until August. Something about this year just bothered me and took a lot out of us all. <br />We have also been spending most days working on Potty time with Phin. Happy to report HE IS COMPLETELY POTTY TRAINED!!! YAY!! No more dipes for this house. We have been buying diapers for 6 years, and are very excited for the extra $50 a month. We are all so proud of him. He has done so good and is really proud of being a big boy! <br /><br />The last part of May was just crazy! We had End of year party at school, kindergarten graduation, getting the house back in working/clean condition. I HATE my house a mess. It makes me ornery and I can't function. We had been in and out so much, that things just got out of hand. We also had A LOT to get ready for Jac to leave for pretty much the entire month of June:/ He is spending this week and half in Samoa, then he'll come home for a few days, take of to Wyoming for a week, then come home for seriously three days, and then take of to New York for two weeks:D All the craziness of being Jac's wife. <br />So, all wrapped up, We had a busy April and May. We are ready for some WARM weather and some summer fun. Ele starts her summer school program this next week, and we are all so excited for that! Something for her to do two days a week for three hours. Swim lessons are on the agenda as well, and lots and lots of camping, California, dinner parties, swimming, and lots of family time. <br />Apologies for my sucky blogging and a promise to do better this month. <br />Lovesthescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-27452591859858205532011-03-18T12:11:00.000-07:002011-03-18T12:44:56.727-07:00BIRCHIN' TIME!No, this is not a typo.

MADNESS!! Ele came home from school the other day and told me that March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. I sure hope so! I know that saying is speaking about the weather, but I've decided that March is my unlucky month. Screw the luck of the Irish! I have no such thing. <br />So, with that "positive" outlook, here are my 5 picks for the month of March. Ta da! Let's hope the month of April will be much luckier. After all, it is my birthday month:D<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpnmC9pZLDAckLFzp3kpHCj_hiGQsWyHxeP7equui_y_YGPaJ9cTABqkYOHLoMGr6LYQyjMJz9pcXq5MPesunR9BO2LWcDs57CJrr2d-vbXB31XQrlFPZR8asXKV8iR4WD8bQ4RBTq-a8/s1600/canon_powershot_g10_3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 153px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpnmC9pZLDAckLFzp3kpHCj_hiGQsWyHxeP7equui_y_YGPaJ9cTABqkYOHLoMGr6LYQyjMJz9pcXq5MPesunR9BO2LWcDs57CJrr2d-vbXB31XQrlFPZR8asXKV8iR4WD8bQ4RBTq-a8/s400/canon_powershot_g10_3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584721287001140114" /></a><br />My Camera!!

Seriously? I can't believe this. I started feeling a cold coming on a week or so ago. Typical around here. It's cold winter and with two kids having play dates, going to school, and all the other stuff, its bound to happen right? Right. Well, this past Tuesday Ele stayed home from school. She had been awake a lot the night before with a stuffy nose and a headache. So I decided to keep her home to rest. That is when I started to feel a bit worse than a cold was coming on. Of course being Kelly, I ignored it all and went on with my usual life. I ABSOLUTELY HATE going to the doctor, and will avoid going at all costs. Well, I sure ignored this, and now I am paying HUGELY for it. I went to the doctor yesterday, Friday, because I was having a hard time doing ANYTHING. Walking up the stairs was like running a marathon. I would see stars and start passing out once I reached the top. PATHETIC! So, I took the advice of the all knowing Jac, (well, he thinks he's the all knowing, I think he's the ANNOYING:D) and called the Doc. Too make A LONG doctor visit story short, and hour check up, and X-ray later, I was told to go home, take the Antibiotics, drink lots of fluids, and REST, REST, REST!!! Basically, I neglected a virus and it settled into Pneumonia. The X-ray showed fluid in the lower part of my lungs, and I guess that's not good. Needless to say, I am taking it easy. I HATE it! I don't like being told I have to stay home and take it easy. I didn't do it well when I was Preggers with Phin and was placed on moderate bed rest at the end of the pregnancy, and I am not handling this well either. I feel like crap and have ZERO energy, so sitting down is a must, but I am pretty pissy about it. I feel for Jac and the Minnies because I am so grouchy! Thank GOD for Real housewives of every city on Bravo and all my other CRAP TV I love. Good thing for my laptop, blackberry, and my Nook. I am trying to just keep busy and not yell and get to mad at the messes made by the kids and Jac. So, I will hopefully be back to my normal energetic, bitchy self in a few days. If not, I will be BITCHING here more. <br />Let's pray for my little families sake that I have a quick recovery.thescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-9934626816186780012011-01-29T08:42:00.000-08:002011-02-03T12:46:42.756-08:00I LIKE STUFF!!!GADGETS, SHOES, PURSES, EARRINGS, VACUUMS, and on and on!! I LOVE stuff! Lots and lots of stuff. I am a shopper. This is no news to my family. I LOVE to buy new stuff! Shoes are probably my biggest weakness, with purses a close second, but I think as I get older, so do my obsessions. I have a slight obsession with gadgets. Just a slight one. I LOVE kitchen appliances, my blackberry, ipods, my nook, my laptop, my vacuum, H2o mop, and so much more. <br />So, I decided to do a once a month post on my must haves for the month. A post on things I have been loving and using, or have come across that I think I would like to have. I am not a very good money saver. I actually suck at it. Confession, so does Jac. We are terrible with money and our finances. We are lucky we can have everything automatically taken out of our bank account, or nothing would ever get paid.:D Its a very bad trait, and we both have it. It is one of my personal goals that I am working on.<br />I have to brag and boast for a minute. We have NO car payments!! WAHOO!!!!!! First time in our relationship. It feels so nice. Even though my wagon has had problems, I love it! I want a new car, probably an SUV, but I am going to stick with my VW until it won't run anymore. Save some money and then get the car I really want. But not having a car payment at all, Such a great accomplishment. It makes me so happy! Oh and the money we are saving monthly, well, that is the BEST PART:D <br />Any who, here are 5 of my favorites this month. Enjoy!<br /><br />BEST Mascara EVER! It really makes my lashes look longer and thicker. NO CLUMPS either.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAe1zHe6MZLaHSys9ZGDZvPG-69ejmcveGN0BYrI1fV6tAxbeBhYzJ6_UaN5gCauyiHrdHEzezdzpBmJpux7HUSAOtMTU9wRjEDSt1Y9L-bRlMamTtcYA0elh_7b10jGfKf92_pVp0w7E/s1600/volum-express-falsies-washable_detail-shot_132311.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 354px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAe1zHe6MZLaHSys9ZGDZvPG-69ejmcveGN0BYrI1fV6tAxbeBhYzJ6_UaN5gCauyiHrdHEzezdzpBmJpux7HUSAOtMTU9wRjEDSt1Y9L-bRlMamTtcYA0elh_7b10jGfKf92_pVp0w7E/s400/volum-express-falsies-washable_detail-shot_132311.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569561089418946146" /></a><br />I am a lipgloss girl.

I have so much to catch up on. Oh sooooooooooooooo much! So much that I was stressing out about it. So I decided to just start fresh with the New Year, and let the stress go. I am not a big fan of resolutions. I know a lot of people say that, but I don't like them. I totally defeat before I even begin. So I have decided to just stick with a few goals, and one of them happens to be a more productive and POSITIVE person.Not focus so much on the negative in my life, because I do. I am going to try and enjoy each moment and make the best of my days.<br />A lot of my negativity is my lack of exercise which causes me a lack of energy and causes me to stay in the depths of this negative, depressive state. I AM DONE!!! I am 32 years old and refuse to become a victim to myself anymore. I have made some changes in my life and am refusing to be this FAT ASS person anymore! And, with the help and support of my sweetest sisters, and my rock Jac, I know I will get to where I want to be. I think blogging weekly on my success will help me stay on the right path. I feel like crap 90% of the time, ad its all just a lack of discipline. I have so many changes to make, and can honestly say that I am so excited for the hard work and the results. I will NOT be posting pics, but I am sure you all have seen my fat ass around, so I don't think I need to anyway. I am so sick of feeling insecure when I run into an old friends, and just sick of looking at myself. But, mostly, I want to be a better example for my minnies. Eating right and exercising is just life, and I haven't been showing them that. I don't want them missing out on fun activities because their mom doesn't want to do it because she might be embarrassed of being seen. That is exactly what I did last summer. Hide, Oh, and a big F YOU to you A - hole I went to high school with that thought it was oh so funny to take pictures of me with your cell phone at the pool last summer, SUCK IT! You are a terrible person! You might be skinny and have fake boobs, but you are an ugly person inside. I hope you read this and know that I pitty you. You know why. <br /> Ok, that's off my chest. Ahhhhh! I feel much better now. <br />Back to the goals. Here they are, the final ones. I thought and thought about them, and these are it! I am happy with them, and will be doing my damnedest to accomplish each and everyone of them.<br />- be positive and NICE to all. (this one will be hard for me, harder than the weightloss!)<br />- back to a heathly weight and lifestyle<br />- boob job (yes all, I want\need one bad!! And my girls need to be back where they were pre minnies:D)<br />-house all painted <br />-house all organized <br />-wood floors laid in family\dining room and kitchen area<br />-and last but certainly not least, run a 10k in October. I want to be able to run the freedom run in July if my damn knee cooperates. We'll see, but for sure a 10k in October.<br />Also, I am trying to post more on my blog. Pics of our family and all the super fun activities we do. We DO A LOT of stuff, and I am so bad about posting about it all. So, there will be lots more on our family fun and vacations. I am truly a blessed lady. These two crazy blond hair blue eyed Angels keep me busy, and I LOVE every minute of it. Jac is such a wonderful father. We have our moments of disagreement, but I couldn't be luckier. He is so supportive of me and truly is my sunshine. Oh, and he is pretty damn good looking and is HILARIOUS!!! We have a good life, and I need to be more grateful and show it. So this is my journey, giddee up!!thescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-83538654867600353392010-11-15T20:42:00.001-08:002010-11-15T21:22:44.684-08:00OH DEAR GOD! BAREFOOT IN WALLYWORLD!!!So, I have come to an understanding with myself. My last post stated that I was in a funk, and bitchy, or in the shitter I think its what it said. But, over the last couple of months since that post, I have realized that I am just out and out bitchy! I am. I wasn't in a funk, I am just truly a Carrie Heffernan.(If you don't know who Carrie Hefferenan is, shame on you and I don't think we can't be friends.) I am a super happy person, I love my sweet family, I truly enjoy life, but I get so ornery and sick and tired of things. Just ask the Hubs. He is a bit scared of me at times. A day of errands with me can be some what of an adventure or HELL as he or Candace my sweet sister would say. Just ask her about one of our Park City trips when I almost ran down a pedestrian for giving me a dirty look. Yes, its true. My blood sugar was low and the woman was just nasty! my mother thinks I am HILARIOUS and I can make her wet her pants in three seconds flat at times. But, to some, I am just a handful to be with. I can't let things go. If something is bothering me, I just keep going and going. For example, if you want to see me in full swing, take me to Walmart. I have a love\hate relationship with WALLYWORLD! I just can't stop myself from indulging in it's sweet frugalness and sales, but yet, I get so damn mad at all the insane ignorance that is there. Today, I seriously saw a woman walking around with her shoes off and stored under her cart. She and her whatever HE\SHE was, were groping up and down the bread isle. AND she didn't have any shoes on!! Why? I couldn't help but stare for quite some time. See, that is also a negative with me. I don't care if you see me watching you with such a disgusted look of horror on my face. She looked at me straight in the eye, and I seriously shook my head at her and looked her up and down. AND I DIDN'T CARE!! I so wanted to walk up to her and ask her why on earth would she ever walk around Walmart barefoot! I am sorry, but that is just absolutely terrifying! <br />Any who, I am just going to come to grips with my true self. My posts may be more "Kellyish" than they have been in the past. My whole world revolves around two blonde hair, blue eyed Angels, that for some reason still love me. Disfunction and all. They and Jac are my heart and they make me smile, laugh and cry all at the same time. So, enjoy my new take on life and blogging. There will still be updates on what is going on here in our house of craziness, but for the most part, this blog is about what goes on in my eccentric foggy head. So, enjoy the crazy train folks!thescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-50802162347267101272010-09-18T12:15:00.000-07:002010-09-18T12:34:05.839-07:00Making DiamondsI am feeling pressure. So much pressure that I could be making diamonds some where in my body from all this damn anxiety. So, I thought I would make a HATE list. I don't want to be positive today. I feel like crap emotionally and I am pissy. So, I am making a hate list. I am tired today. Tired of trying to be perfect. Tired of not sleeping. Tired of looking like I do. Tired of running on empty. So here it is. My hate list for today.

I don't like making big decisions, it makes me feel too grown up. So life is a bit lumpy for me right now. But, in the midst of all this "LIFE", I can't help but be grateful. Jac is on a trip. Which usually means me feeling a bit weepy and anxious on the first day he is gone. He has been traveling since the day we got married, and I have to say that I am use to it, but it still isn't easy. And it doesn't help that he is out of the country which means I can't text him or call him whenever I want, and that makes me feel very uneasy. Also, I am PSYCHO! I sit and think of HORRIBLE scenario's all day. Seriously. I am sitting here right now thinking that he is going to get kidnapped by some Peruvian Gorilla and placed in a hole in the ground, with a single light bulb hanging/swaying above his head, and bugs and rats crawling all over him, and I am going to have to go all Meg Ryan and fly to Peru and find him, all the while fighting the urge to fall in LUST with Russell Crowe. Oh wait, that wouldn't happen because Russell Crowe really isn't a PI, and eww, he's gross anyway. Maybe if it was Wenworth Miller or Channing Tatum. Sorry, totally of course! But still, I hate when he is out of the country and it really doesn't help that I read to many books and watch way to many movies:D So, the whole reason for this post is I am feeling very protective/grateful for my family today. My Sis is in town and that is SO GREAT! We have been doing lots of laughing, shopping, eating, drinking, shopping, and just talking. Loudly of course! It is so nice to see her and catch up. I LOVE being with my fam and reminiscing about the good old days when I made all their lives a living hell:D Well, I think I still do, but I try to make a few better decisions, and plus I married Jac and had two babies for them so I think I have a few brownie points to out weigh the boo points. <br />My minnies and Jac are my whole life. I eat, sleep and breath them. My mind never stops thinking about what I need to do to be a better mom and wife. Getting Ele ready for Kindergarten:( making sure the kids have a fun summer, take care of my sweet budah who works WAY too much, AND trying to keep Phin from destroying everything in his path. WOW! Who new boys could be so much harder to raise then girls. just this past month he has lost my Itouch, single handedly dirtied up the carpets that I just had cleaned, and now his bedroom too. (We are investing in our own carpet cleaner this week) AND he just decided to color all over the screen of my nook. WOW! He is a tornado, AND l have learned so much about how you really can't take your eyes off of him for 1 second. That has a whole new meaning. But, All in all, my life is full. Full of LIFE, LOVE and PEACE. This picture just says it all. This is my favorite view. Better than any beach, sunset, Christian Louboutin shoes, Coach purses, photos of Channing Tatum:D This is my Peace. This is my piece of Heaven in this crappy world. The man who stole my heart and gives me PEACE, my Blue who makes our house shine and gives me LOVE. Monkey who keeps me on my toes and makes me laugh and has brought a whole new meaning to the word LIFE. AND last but certainly not least, that little brown lump on the couch. Our Sadie Sky. She has been a part of this insane family from the beginning. She is our first baby, and brings all this LIFE LOVE and PEACE altogether. My family is my favorite and my best, and I want life to freeze and stay just like this Photo. Them all here in the house, not aging, not traveling, not doing anything but being together. Always and always together.thescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-18957678308901658812010-07-27T10:40:00.000-07:002010-07-27T11:06:02.163-07:00Ele's Preschool Grad<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYJ6-8ISlPtPRzCEJ-b_vuPRvyHLD-yt4zV3VPW_vlGYThDTrTnciQiMo1o3dLLMEW_3sNEW_7jcRcan2hDNRHX7c0LuOqyrpMD_5VBGdQLTDtGGfExdppO8VwH60-_Vbs5AyGMBdBfY/s1600/IMG_4902.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYJ6-8ISlPtPRzCEJ-b_vuPRvyHLD-yt4zV3VPW_vlGYThDTrTnciQiMo1o3dLLMEW_3sNEW_7jcRcan2hDNRHX7c0LuOqyrpMD_5VBGdQLTDtGGfExdppO8VwH60-_Vbs5AyGMBdBfY/s400/IMG_4902.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498648805777994226" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIAJKNVRbMRYQSt6ZbsWTC8LVtLi7u26XEKiMZU0JBbEQH9BIUa_H8TtRX9oh0Tf2QgzWhZ6Lg01IJCmFydZf_XbYCattKRA9nYkam-gVu7E1_iGI2AFp4YmkkqCaeMqbArgvfNuYaREs/s1600/37617_1506851278423_1448522643_1325797_1182816_n.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIAJKNVRbMRYQSt6ZbsWTC8LVtLi7u26XEKiMZU0JBbEQH9BIUa_H8TtRX9oh0Tf2QgzWhZ6Lg01IJCmFydZf_XbYCattKRA9nYkam-gVu7E1_iGI2AFp4YmkkqCaeMqbArgvfNuYaREs/s400/37617_1506851278423_1448522643_1325797_1182816_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498648796243595906" /></a><br />Well, I know I said in my last post that I am a SUCKY blogger lately. But, I am trying to get caught up. So, I will keep going and get all our stuff on here. <br />Next we have Ele's preschool graduation. I can honestly say that I think we found an Angel on the earth with our Ms. Cathy at Moonbeam preschool. I have tears in my eyes as I am typing this. Oh how we miss her. Her smile, her laugh, and seeing Ele light up as she ran up that walk way and saw her most trusted Ms. Cathy. I have major trust issues with my children and leaving them with people. Seriously, I am a basket case when Jac and I go on a date and the minnies are with my parents or anyone for that matter. They are my heart and my whole world and I learned after many years working in child protection to never trust anyone with your kids, and always ALWAYS be on guard. BUT, whenever I dropped Ele off to Ms. Cathy, I had this peaceful feeling and just pure trust for this woman. She and Ele bonded immediately and I knew there would forever be a friendship. I don't know what I will do all this next year without seeing her. Phin is already on the list for the Fall of 2011 classes with her. She is honestly the best preschool teacher I have ever met and we truly love her as one of our own. Ele learned so much at preschool and blossomed so much. She memorized every poem and often was the first one to pass them off. She learned all about things that she still talks about and still sings all the fun little songs that Ms. Cathy so wittily wrote. She really did a great job preparing Ele for Kindergarten and we thank her for that. Ele LOVES all the new friends she made at school and has forever friendships from this past year. We LOVE you Ms. Cathy. <br />XOXOXOXOXOthescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-88801518024582829542010-07-08T15:41:00.000-07:002010-07-08T16:02:29.646-07:00SUCKY BLOGGER'S CATCH UP TIME!!!Well, I have a been a sucky blogger lately. Life has been INSANE around here. So much going on. Jac has basically been living in New York City for the last three weeks:( He will be home in a week and then may be off to Peru. We will see. Lots and lots of traveling for my Hubs. We love and miss him every second of the day, but we have been keeping busy. I don't really know where to start my catch up, so I decided to start with Ele's dance recital. She has been dancing with Jive for a couple of years and LOVES it! This is her second summer recital with them. She did FANTASTIC! She is quite the little dancer and we are so proud of her. Here are a few pics of her and her cute friends. We didn't get too many still shots of her on stage, and the video is quite long to post, so I am just posting these few shots. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMV881rcVJ7dWkPy_ttZfyhgQVCQqbh1GxbeMvMspSZ9dXq4_Oya5DMcvcyTBUrNZkoX4_OUEqGC0HjbPGF1zqC8FkrZ67bLw0RfACYXIiaAlrTOk4xYwgYeHwQJ2UYFcTrKx8RhmiUGw/s1600/IMG_4839.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMV881rcVJ7dWkPy_ttZfyhgQVCQqbh1GxbeMvMspSZ9dXq4_Oya5DMcvcyTBUrNZkoX4_OUEqGC0HjbPGF1zqC8FkrZ67bLw0RfACYXIiaAlrTOk4xYwgYeHwQJ2UYFcTrKx8RhmiUGw/s400/IMG_4839.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491671946438083266" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5lFIZQBzOE-bG27Q44CrM87rtF9DFz3DBRzQKJz6yZistFCXYHe7ubScPDlNRcIBApT0zsB4QGJHRqjIFBmV3tP8yL5GYt67x9PPqR_EbXKefpa8RTe6-QXEVXpsuXNkiWNkZkOypUrk/s1600/IMG_4833.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5lFIZQBzOE-bG27Q44CrM87rtF9DFz3DBRzQKJz6yZistFCXYHe7ubScPDlNRcIBApT0zsB4QGJHRqjIFBmV3tP8yL5GYt67x9PPqR_EbXKefpa8RTe6-QXEVXpsuXNkiWNkZkOypUrk/s400/IMG_4833.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491671938570861058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSAXXNpRowtXygEbEebsZBwnTcM1jurJCLYBaezkbcMKy9AhWfva6YguBwbjLgRdCTOMUlP0d1ToiZ00H_XvQgnqBpiyzcxRA826Q9dZIx8RLy5MnWZ3VWB_WxWcMZqlka13sxJDP1R2s/s1600/IMG_4831.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSAXXNpRowtXygEbEebsZBwnTcM1jurJCLYBaezkbcMKy9AhWfva6YguBwbjLgRdCTOMUlP0d1ToiZ00H_XvQgnqBpiyzcxRA826Q9dZIx8RLy5MnWZ3VWB_WxWcMZqlka13sxJDP1R2s/s400/IMG_4831.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491671929911835762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_WYF532zg9-ELfEoa322vxXh2mML5aW_MDRqoMumrJ0uPYFhfqqzhPtb5_PLtOKPIyxQs8rE0w39y2GY3YaF2galksnI_RKen8Q5VvGMslvIG8YHEQPRe83h1MM-05TKepXjjTPDayws/s1600/IMG_4827.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_WYF532zg9-ELfEoa322vxXh2mML5aW_MDRqoMumrJ0uPYFhfqqzhPtb5_PLtOKPIyxQs8rE0w39y2GY3YaF2galksnI_RKen8Q5VvGMslvIG8YHEQPRe83h1MM-05TKepXjjTPDayws/s400/IMG_4827.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491671919700648914" /></a>thescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-50698864860602952352010-04-18T15:56:00.000-07:002010-04-18T16:36:41.682-07:00UMMMM, yea, I didn't do it!So, I thought I should post an update on the tattoo. I haven't done it, and I don't know if I am going to. I have this little conscious telling me I should really think about this PERMANENT decision I am about to make. Oh, and that conscious isn't inside my head, it is Jac. He is my reason, my conscious, my sanity, yada yada. He was all for the Tattoo, until he started thinking. Why does he have to do that?!?!? He is always thinking and analyzing and researching and making the best decisions. NOT me! I fly by the seat of my pants. See a pair of shoes, buy em'. Cost a lot, WHO CARES!! Deal with that later. Not Jac. He will spend hours finding the best of what ever he is purchasing. That is where we are opposites, but it is soooooooooo good for me. We discussed the tattoo thing of where and what to get. Then, in his quiet little way he listens to me, analyzing and thinking, he said the words I had been avoiding the whole week while planning our date and tattooing. "What if Blue comes up to you when she is 16 or 17 and says she wants to get a tattoo like you? What will you say to her? She will remember you getting it, so you can't use the excuse of I was young, I was reckless, don't make the same mistake I made." "But Honey, I am not telling you not to do it, I think you should just think about it." <br />AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH damn it! He did it again. The voice of reason that I try so hard to defy and avoid. Sneaks up on me and SMACKS me right in the face! So, I thought about it, and decided that I would freak out if Ele wanted to get a tattoo on her beautiful little skin because Mommy has one. I am happy with my decision for the time being. Just like the decision to go back to church. I fought it and fought it. But, I am glad I did. Best friends I have made in a long time and I LOVE my ward. Love seeing Ele singing the primary songs and watching Phin in his man suit in nursery playing with his friends. And actually feeling the spirit for the first time in a long time. I am so happy in my life right now, and glad that I actually made an adult decision and didn't just do it and wait and see what happens. STILL want one, and maybe someday I will do it. But for now, I am going to move on to my next obsession. I don't think I will be posting about it until it is accomplished. So, we will see what the future holds. But, I am excited and happier than I have been in a very long time. Love my sweet husband, and adore my kids, and I am looking forward to the warmth and our family trips. <br />SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO instead of getting the tattoo, Jac bought me a new set of pots and pans I have been BEGGING for. I LOVE them! I really enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, so it was the PERFECT gift. He and Ele got me flowers as well, and I ordered a Momagenda planner that I have been wanting. I also got the material cutting board and cutter I have been wanting from my parents and my sister. AND to top it all off, My dad fixed my drawer in my kitchen that has been DRIVING ME INSANE! Thanks to all my family and friends who made my day so special. My kiddies had the flu HORRIBlY all week long, so we spent my birthday cleaning up puke and cuddling my sweet babies, but it was a wonderful day. Jac and I eventually got out on a date this past Thursday. We went to Texas Road House for dinner. NEVER again! That place is ridiculous! We just aren't into that loud ANNOYING servers and SCREAMING line dancers kind of place. I almost started drinking again just to make it bearable. HEEEHEEE! We will just stick with our usual Ruby River or Sundance. Then my sweet friend Jes and I went and got a Pedicure Friday night. Pretty feet. YAY! <br />Thanks again babe for such a wonderful birthday and always being my voice of reason.

I mean YEARS. In high school I wanted my boyfriends name on my wrist, glad I didn't do that:D Then, I wanted the other boyfriends baseball number on the back of neck, REALLY glad I didn't do that. And now I am REALLY wanting to get one. I am turning 32 this Friday and have decided to just do it. It's my body and I am 32 freaking years old, and my dad is getting to old to chase me down and scrub it off with an SOS scrubber right?!?! Well, probably not. He is in damn good shape for his age, BUT I don't think he would like to make a scene with his two beautiful grandchildren that I bore present, well at least I hope he wouldn't. I have always been his little defiant, bratty girl so I am sure he won't be surprised.<br /> NOW here is the dilemma. Where to get it? Not the ink shop, but the place on my body that I am going to be happy with it for the rest of my life. So, when I am wrinkly and old I will still like it. I have debated on getting on my foot, but like I have mentioned in a previous post, I am a flip flop junkie and I heard they tend to need to be touched up more often when rubbed all the time by the flip flop. That is still my number one spot. Then there is my wrist. LOVE the wrist tattoos. I was thinking of getting SCOTT for our last name, but I went out with a guy named Scott in high school, HORRIBLE boyfriend, and I hope that people wouldn't think it was from when I dated him. BLAH! So, if I do the wrist tat I was thinking of three stars. One for my Jac, one for Ele and the other for Phin. OR my kids names on my left wrist. OR on my neck right under my hair line is another option. I am still trying to decide what to get and where. Such a big deal. BUT I really really want one and I am tired of worrying about what the ward folks and the in laws and my parents will think. I am Kelly and damn it! I am doing it! SO, stay tuned because I am planning on doing it this weekend for my birthday. pictures to come. Feel free to leave your comments on what your opinions are. I don't care if you criticize me, I am still going to do it, so please speak your mind. That is where I am a brat and don't give a RATS:D<br />Well, I am sure I will also be posting my daddy's HUGE steal blue eyes glaring at me, but we will see:Dthescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-69705089506998776762010-02-14T09:46:00.000-08:002010-02-14T09:51:57.652-08:00TO MY SWEET VALENTINEMy sweet Jac is clear across the world today shooting. It is our first Valentines Day in 13 years apart:( We LOVE Valentines Day! Jac was the first guy I ever dated who made Valentines special for me. Well, made anything special form me. I LOVE and miss him beyond belief. He has been gone for almost two weeks. I can't wait to see him on Wednesday. Love you babe. You are my best friend and I am so happy to spend FOREVER with you:D So, I am dedicating the song my best friend by Tim McGraw to him. There is no other song on the earth that I can think of that fits us perfectly. Jac is NOT a huge country music fan, but he does LOVE Tim! So, to you my sweet heart and valentine.

I guess that is a way of saying I am DOWN this Christmas. This will be the first Christmas without my sweet Nana and I don't know how to handle it I guess. I started decorating my house, and just can't seem to finish. I usually have it all done the weekend after Thanksgiving so we can enjoy it for the whole month of December. I got ALL my Christmas shopping done early thinking that would really help me feel the true spirit of Christmas, but it didn't. I miss so many things about her. I miss talking to her every day, I miss calling her to tell her things that I know will make her happy, I miss the "hello you" on the other end of the phone, I miss going up to see her every few days and having lunch, or taking her Christmas shopping and making her laugh by all my rude comments about people. I miss her smile, I miss her so much it hurts. She was Christmas too me. I don't know how to get past this depression of losing her. I have grieved and cried so much since February, but it is hitting me again. I made egg salad the other day and bawled my eyes out. That was her thing. Egg salad with onions, mayo, and relish on toasted rye bread. I have some of her decorations and I smell them to see if they still smell like her. We were all so blessed to have her for so many Christmas's. I am trying to just be grateful that she is not in pain and she is in a better place, but it is hard when you want to see someone's face so bad it aches. So, to bring my spirits up, I am trying to enjoy every second of this holiday season with my family. I still have my Eleanor, and she is every bit as sweet as Nana. Jac helps me feel better by helping come up with ideas to honor my Nana. She truly was an Angel on this earth and I can't wait to someday hear her say Hello You again. I love and miss you my sweet Nana with all my heart.

I am EXTREMELY excited for my anniversary gift from Jac. He gave me the BEST gift for Kelly:D He got me a NOOK!!!!! No, dirty minds, I am not talking about the oh so goodness of lovin, I am talking about my new E book from Barnes and Noble. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to read!! I will read just about anything, and I think people who know me well are a bit shocked when they find out my favorite author is Jane Austen. Of course my favorite book is Pride and Prejudice, I have stated this many a times on my blog, but again, HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG WITH MR DARCY!!! So, I have been dropping hints about the nook and the kindle from amazon for a while now and thought maybe for Christmas? Jac is always a bit hesitant to get me these kinds of gifts and for good reason. I have a way of saying I will use it forever, and am totally bored with it after a week or so. BUT this is going to be the BEST thing!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! He came home from work on our anniversary and asked me if I got him a gift. Me, looking EXTREMELY dumbfounded, said, no, you got your snowboarding pass and I thought you were getting a new board too. So, I hurry and recovered by telling him I bought him his favorite cereal. WHAT A LOSER!!!! I felt like CRAP! So, I thought he was kidding when he asked me if I wanted my gift or if I wanted to wait until we got up to Sundance for dinner. I of course said NOW!!!!! AND, he pulled out a piece of paper. What could it be?!?! It was the receipt for my NOOK!!!! YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!! I will be getting it in a couple of weeks and I don't know if I have said this but I am WAY EXCITED!!! <br />Check them out. They are a bit pricey, but if you read as much as me, it will save you money in the end. LOTS AND LOTS of free books and when you do buy one, they are NEVER more than $9.99. Even the new releases. AND think of all the trees we are saving!!!!! Kind of orgasmic if you ask me!!! So, if you see me at a stop light, or at the gym with this weird giant ipod looking thing, DON'T BOTHER ME!!! I AM probably reading one of Mr. Darcy's epic lines. THANKS JAC!! You are the best, and you can go snowboarding EVERYDAY, wait, you already do that. Oh well! I will be reading on my NOOK!!!! LOVE YOU JAC!thescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-55499817296881791902009-11-20T12:12:00.000-08:002009-11-20T13:27:09.268-08:0011 YEARS, ARE YOU SURE?!?!?!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAo-YZFX5L2pSBHzhgcrkSLtxHZz0WXZrWoOqtiA5MrBv07bxPpJUdBFwAzcwdgsQ1A-UIlylHgHmNNW1RFFdpQDkEOF3Xk7E9BvRwRIbUZJeb5PAq7lykF-x52Yh4WC3kmSkvNrNnyxM/s1600/HappyAnniversary.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAo-YZFX5L2pSBHzhgcrkSLtxHZz0WXZrWoOqtiA5MrBv07bxPpJUdBFwAzcwdgsQ1A-UIlylHgHmNNW1RFFdpQDkEOF3Xk7E9BvRwRIbUZJeb5PAq7lykF-x52Yh4WC3kmSkvNrNnyxM/s400/HappyAnniversary.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406298079888031314" /></a><br />Jac and I just celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary yesterday. WOW! Can't believe it. It doesn't seem that long, but at the same time, I can't remember my life without him. You know? Feels like he has always been in my life. We always tease and say that since we have had such a good run the last 11 years, maybe we should quit while we are good. FUNNY, yet scary to me. It is a little bit of too much reality for me right now. SO many of our dear friends are getting divorced. Heart breaking. I had a panic attack a month or so ago about it. WORRYING that Jac was going to leave me. Lying awake staring at him wondering what it would be like if he wasn't there anymore, dropping the kids off for the weekend and what would I do without all of them around. I of course freaked out in my Kelly way, and cried and "expressed" my feelings too him, and he of course handled it in his oh so Jac, laid back, James Dean way, and laughed at me, then hugged me, and in his LOVING way, reassured me that he is not leaving me. I go through that once in a while. You would to if your husband was a super good looking photographer who works with GORGEOUS models, BUT not going into that. I am not insecure in the least bit, I think God blesses me so I don't lose it all the time, but once in a while I freak out and he brings me down like Xanax. We waited a while to have the kiddies, and REALLY Enjoyed our seven years traveling, hanging with friends, partying, traveling, sleeping, eating, working, sleeping and more sleeping!!! BUT, I wouldn't trade any of that for our two juniors. Well, maybe for some more sleep, BUT, Monkey is actually sleeping better. <br />Life is so NOT perfect at Casa Scott, but we work. We put up with each others crap and we have our "fun" battles, which I always win, guess working for Attorney's for so long you learn to argue:D Well, okay, I NEVER win, but I like to pretend I do. And the more wrong I am, the LOUDER I argue. <br />I love Jac with everything I have. He is my joy, my soul, my besty, my confidant, my heart, and most importantly my companion. Love you Budah! Can't wait for the future of us sitting on a HOT Beach somewhere, you surfing, taking pictures or watching birds, while I read Pride and Prejudice over and over on my Nook and judge everyone around me for what they are wearing and their way too tan bodies, and planning my next botox, hair and eyebrow waxing appointments, all while eating some Curry and rice. And at the end of the day, we will be us, and there is nothing better to me. I LOVE YOU, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!thescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640324144578075700.post-47410508645659217422009-10-27T13:04:00.000-07:002009-10-27T13:22:27.945-07:00PURSE AND NECKLACE PARTY AT MY PLACE!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAQlTojpE24crbn3vekuBigNSb-lqbQ_AZZyWL0TQ6xfI2s973A1XadLOeM5Wug7BzlQoH3yrzRZX9QZdjGF11_q90NJqJW4W-NhH4tt7xVe2oDd2mMg8LwZF_arp-TRE81JlyrOaAJ8c/s1600-h/giraffebag.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 190px; height: 253px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAQlTojpE24crbn3vekuBigNSb-lqbQ_AZZyWL0TQ6xfI2s973A1XadLOeM5Wug7BzlQoH3yrzRZX9QZdjGF11_q90NJqJW4W-NhH4tt7xVe2oDd2mMg8LwZF_arp-TRE81JlyrOaAJ8c/s400/giraffebag.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397377770599022450" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">I AM HAVING MY LAUNCH SHOW FOR PARADE OF PURSES AT MY HOUSE.

WOW! It seems like yesterday we were going on our first date exactly thirteen years ago. We had our first date the week of Jac's birthday. That is why I LOVE Fall so much. The chill in the air, the smell of the leaves and the temperature changing. AHHHHHH!!! <br />Jac and I have been on MANY road trips together. Gosh, I don't even think I can count them. We LOVE driving together and the anticipation of getting to our destination. Which is usually Southern Cali where we can bake in the sun, well, I can while Jac surfs, and smell the sea air, feel that cool, oh so needed sea spray, and sit and watch some of the most amazing sunsets imaginable. <br />Every time I hear The Beatles song two of us, I think of me and Jac and our road trips. We LOVE that song and it has kind of become "our" song. We have so many, but that one always makes me smile and think about him and I in the Jetta or the Jeep driving somewhere, or no where at all. We haven't been on too many road trips with the kiddies, but they are getting older and we are planning lots and lots of trips for the future. <br />Jac is my heart and I LOVE him so much. He works SOOOOOOOOOOO HARD all the time to support our family. He is an AMAZING photographer and has so many other great talents. Oh, and he is so damn good looking it is kind of sick:) I am one lucky girl to have him and I thank him for such a wonderful love and life we have. <br />This morning I was sitting at the dining room table checking my email and I looked into the kitchen through the little cut out and I started to cry. My sweet Jac and our two adorable kiddies were singing and dancing to Danzig of all things, but we were all together. How did I get so lucky? Why did I get him? How did we get the two of them? I thank God everyday for my sweet little family and all our blessings.<br />So, to my Budah, which I call him that not because he looks like Budah, but because his motorcycle makes that deep BUDAH BUDAH sound, anyway, to my Budah, I love you with everything I have. You are the most amazing husband, father and best friend a girl could ever ask for and I thank you for loving me. I know it is a challenge sometimes, but we work and I cherish you. Happy BIrthday Jac!!!thescottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527768252005386133noreply@blogger.com4
