Updating My Blog

I haven't posted anything on my blog for so long I've nearly forgotten how to do it. Only fair since it's been nearly 7 months since my last posting. I hope those of you reading and looking at my family photos will be patient with me...as I have much to catch up on. I keep promising SHANNON that I'll be better -- so far that has been a pie crust promise. So I'm going to really try harder to keep this site up-to-date (I guess only time will tell). Since I wrote and posted last, our little family has moved again. This is move number 15 I believe. But who's keeping track. The current plan is to stay in this house for a couple of years or until Marcus finishes his MBA. Then who knows where or when we'll move again. It's always an adventure. Anyhow, just wanted to update my viewers (if there are any left after my long delay).

Fun Pictures of the Stott Fam

I love random family shots. Here are some from Matt and Nicole's wedding.

Branding at the Ranch

Nothing brings a smile to my face faster than hearing Aivree tell the story of branding Grandpa's cows. She always begins by saying, "Branding is sure hard. It stinks and the cows are really loud." These are a few photos from our trip to the ranch to brand cows. The best part was seeing Marc back on the ranch.


Grandma and Aivree.

Cousin Cory with his son Tanner and Marc with Raleigh Anne. So cool to see the two cousins together again.

Aivree kissing on Raleigh in the corral.

My handsome honey!! Ooo lala.

Sweet Moments

There were a lot of sweet moments with Granny and Poppa. Only a few got captured on camera. Here are some of my favorite moments (I have a few other photos that I love -- however, they are on Granny's camera -- I'll add them later).


Cousins and best buddies!!!

Poppa reading bedtime stories. Pretty sweet!

Granny and Kinzlee posing for the camera.

Lots of Being Wet

While at Granny and Poppa's we spent a lot of time wet. We went boating, swimming, ran through the sprinkler and rode uncle Rob's slip n' slide. Here are a few photos highlighting the wetness.

Trip to Granny and Poppa's

We just returned from our FABULOUS trip to Granny and Poppa's. It was wonderful -- boating, relaxing, eating, laughing, cooking, visiting and overall just doing nothing important...just being. The kids spent the week playing, swimming, playing, swimming, and getting VERY tan!

The trip began on Thursday night around 8 p.m. We left Sheridan very late after Marc worked. Within a hour of being on the road, both girls were fast asleep. What sweet sleeping angels.

Two Thumbs Up

Aivree thought she was pretty cool riding in Daddy's truck with his sunglasses on. She gave me two thumbs up for the experience.
