[pics incl] I know I’m missing a few of ya’ll whom were upstairs and didn’t hear me yell to stand still! I did take a bunch of photos but many are blurry or the back of heads. I’ll still pass them out later, holler if I forget. Apparently, all the photos I have taken the past several days have been fuzzy?!? (even the ones I took with other people’s phones???)
Courtney made him cry, Ashley made him laugh.
[pics incl] I fixed dinner. YES… I fixed dinner, stop laughing! I was even gonna use the grill but somewhere along the line, I was missing the part where the starter to the grill went out and “we have been using a lighter for a year.” So I fixed chicken quarters in the oven and I did NOT set the oven on fire doing it 😉 While the rest of us are perfectly ecstatic to use the BBQ sauce from Tim’s friend, I know Courtney does not like it so I left one “blank” 😉
Courtney is home from China and pointed out that we are out of ketchup….. I did NOT fix frosting for dinner tonight, but I had the foresight a couple of weeks ago when I made William’s birthday cake, to place the frosting in the fridge. WHY? Because I knew… yes, I knew, that Courtney would eventually find it. 🙂
[pics incl] The frost this morning kinda had a “glowing” effect! I see these footsteps in the snow and I’m laughing because Ashley got new boots so either 1) she took one step, slipped and continued in the snow, or 2) she took one step and said “hey, my boots are waterproof!” and bolted for the snow. 🙂
Here is one taken after the sun came out.
[pics incl] Mario and Debbie came to visit. Someday, Courtney might learn that Mario has a very sneaky sense of humor 😉 “Hey, did you just tie me to a door?!?” Brings back memories of the time he was holding scissors, but handed her a colored picture to look at… while he cut her hair!

[pics incl] Well, it’s a picture taken with my phone. I didn’t have on shoes so I couldn’t move around to get a better photo for you. (Where is Elna when you need good neighborhood view photos?!… at work!).
[pics incl] The fireplace won’t stay on, so apparently, they have declared a truce in the middle of my bed???
[pics incl] The forecast yesterday was supposed to be <1″ over the day (even said about 1/2″ in morning, 1/2″ in evening). It did NOT take long to realize we were going to get a LOT more!
[pics incl] It’s snowing like crazy (supposed to be <1… YEAH RIGHT, I DON’T THINK SO)?!?
I put new batteries in a laser toy… a CAT laser toy. Jeff and William each had one and next thing I know, everyone is giggling in the other room, and shouting, “Got you!” “Out of bounds!” “You can’t make a line!”
What?
(this looks like red specks but it’s laser tag in a dark, fire-lit room).
[pics incl] Ashley tripped over a bowl of ice cream and the spoon rang in the New Year. That was our excitement… poor Abby, we are boring partiers. ;-P Now, off to pick up our non-drivers that have social lives….
[pics incl] Jeff had the opportunity for a good deal on a BMW. He misses his old BMW. But now we have a BMW and an Audi. Should I park the Suburban? Keep the Audi for… William (remember, 2 teenage girls that don’t drive???)?? We need a tow vehicle, “I” WILL… be parking whatever I drive, in the garage. I think we are selling the Audi 🙂 Sooo… talk to Jeff.
Here is a BMW pic… It’s late, it’s 3 degrees outside… it’s the best you are getting right now. 😉
[pics incl] Yesterday, it snowed all day. It was snowing this morning but the sun is out right now. This view is deceiving because it’s -3 with windchill -19!
[pics incl] Ok, not really! He borrowed the snowblower and cleared out our driveway before walking to his 🙂 Jeff wasn’t home and there was a racket outside… so now I have pics of Nathan ;-P
[pics incl] One year ago, we lost a beloved child, whom we considered our own. http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2014/01/07/daltons-obituary/
Dalton died in an unfortunate ATV accident. As part of their PAY IT FORWARD lifestyle, they received permission from CA to place warning signs in the area where his collision occurred. Before their trip, they had Dalton’s image wrapped onto the back of their camper. Please share your “Pay It Forward” stories: http://www.doitfordalton.com/
That alone does not sound like much but tonight is the first movie I have attended since “brain clot.” I had two sets of ear plugs and my warm fuzzy hat (because it really muffles sounds). And I saw The Battle of the Five Armies. We were binge watching The Hobbit DVD’s and I didn’t want to skip to LOTR series without seeing Hobbit #3.
I never went to many movies before but it’s definitely nice to know that I CAN (w/ aides)… if I want!
Thanks to Abby for being a surrogate kid since two of mine bailed, Courtney for watching it again, and Jeff for watching it a third time 😉
[pics incl] Another ginger appeared… she could pass as a Scott 😉
