Rocking out for Sports Day!

I guess wearing riding pants and boots all day wouldn't have been comfortable.... but hey, mis-matching still counts. :0)

GATE program here we come......

So, I came home tonight after spending the day with the Seester and found that Scottie had some papers in his backpack waiting for me. I pulled it out and surprise surprise... it's his Reading Benchmark scores. Though I can't say that I am shocked.... I am unbelievably proud of my Lil Scottie Man!!! There are no words for the joy I have in my heart to have raised such a smarty. I feel like parading him through town and showing his scores off to the world!!!! Now, Scottie always scores in the advanced category on testing, but it is also so easy for him to get distracted.... so a perfect score is hard to reach. So, when I saw this, I was unbelievably excited with his work. The beginning year test had a score of 93% so I can tell that his test taking scores have improved. AND, this is the first year Scott has tested with his own class. The years before, he had been excused to the office to test alone.

SCOTTIE, MOMMA IS SO PROUD OF THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE THIS YEAR! YOU ARE AMAZING!

sorry I can't get the picture any larger.... trust me I'd blow it up and post it on an entire side of the house if I could :0)

Iron Circus by Metal Mulisha

I took Zach out to see a freestyle moto show this past Saturday as an early Father's Day gift.


Zach dressed from head to toe in nothing but Metal Mulisha gear!


We waited in line for autographs for what seemed like years haha (can you spot my Metal Mulisha fanatic Hubbin?)


Zach getting autograph


SMILE!


Zach goes "oooooooh bike" hehe


The landing ramp

I wrap Christmas presents months in advance... why should Father's Day be any different?...AKA Father's Day Part One & Two

So, Daddy Zach got quite spoiled this year. Father's Day is coming in three parts.

Part one, Zach recieved a new pair of Sandals almost two months before Father's Day (which he desperatly needed and I just can't keep a surprise if my life depended on it!)


Part Two, Since this gift goes along with a surprise trip this Saturday (that was the intention, Daddy Zach found out weeks ago cause loud mouth Momma can't keep her trap shut)... anywho, this is the only free day Scottie had that matched with Daddy Zach's schedule (Cause Scottie is a highly saught after ticket item in this family.... the kind of item that people start wars over... no joke, just ask someone about the War of 2000 Birth of the Sacred Child.... their faces will turn white as their bones rattle in fear!)

I Digress...

Step One: Wrap gift in beautiful paper with much care and preparation (Or use box the item was shipped in) Don't forget to make the receiver of the gift close their eyes.... just in case they have x-ray vision. If they don't, it still makes for better anticipation.


Step Two: Gift Reciever recieves gift and has amazing shock response to the awesome gift they just recieved. (However, one of two things happen. Either picture taker is not expecting Gift Reciever to open gift so quickly so misses shot OR Camera doesn't funtion quickly under low light... but remember, we always shall blame it on the camera. Because professional photographers do not make such silly mistakes so camera is at fault.) None the less, Gift Reciever must now pose as though they have just recieved gift again. All the pressure mounts as pose must be held for numerous minutes because within the alloted arguing time over what the problem was (Camera's fault... don't forget) the camera has shut off (such a lovely energy saving feature). Photographer is beyond capable of getting perfect shot.... here's proof...


Step Three: Gift Reciever now models gift (wearable gifts only please) for Photographer (unless its like a new thong or something... in which case the photo should not be passed around a family blog such as this.... and definatly should not have been considered a great Father's Day gift)


Step Four: Bask in the glory that is the perfect gift... because you the Gift Giver deserves it. You have thought long and hard about this moment. Tears have been shed. Memories sifted through til the wee hours of the night (What does a trip to the bathroom have to do with late night anyhow? And if you mean "we", then why does it have to be plural? These are the things that keep me up at night people!) Gift Giver deserves a pat on the back (Why? Am I a dog?) .... I think Gift Giver deserves a night out on the town. What do you think? .... oh.... ok then.... sorry... I forgot.... I know I know... you don't give gifts just to recieve something in return.... the smile on their faces is the gift you recieve.








Well, if that's the case, I could have given just the card.

A short story... created in the life of Scottie and Momma

Once Upon a Time.... (Hey, why don't we capatalize the "a"? Poor little guy... I cant just leave him out like that. He'll get cold and lonesome!!! Let's start this over again without any discrimination.)

Once Upon A Time...

A little Scottie creature hide behind the lunch tables just waiting for his next prey (cause he's a naughty lil Scottie creature)


Then, there came a beautiful fair maiden (Guess who!!!???) just minding her own business (Cause she knows better then to follow the drama of others... highschool taught her that)


When out of nowhere, the lil Scottie creature attacked..... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH alsdfpuoarwglkfbh (Whoa sorry, jumped out of my chair there!)


The lil Scottie creature was sooo amused with himself. "I am the greatest creature of all the land and no one is scarier then I", he chanted. (Someone is a bit too confident) DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNN (Scary sounds affects for more dramatic scene)


But to the lil Scottie creature's surprise, the gorgeous fair maiden had a sneak attack.



And they all lived happily ever after.





Or did they?





Mwuahahahahahahahahaha

Three Cheers for Open House!!!!

Started with some simple food from the Kiwana's Club BBQ... but that isnt important.... THIS is the stare of the show... KETCHUP! Oh how I love you dear friend.... my sweet sweet friend.


Scottie is such a helper...
He helped with the coffee fundraising stand... (Coffee really? Well, with all these crazy kids it makes perfect sense... FINALLY instead of cupcakes for the kids... give the parents COFFEE!!!!)


Helping carry a box for the Principal.... in his own way of course


Awww my Scottie Man showing me his wonderfuly organized desk (which of course was that neat ALL year!)


Scottie's work.... (Only some writing? What a jip... where are the huge pictures that take up half my file cabinet every year?... cause of course I can't part with any beautiful work of art my lil man makes... what kind of mom do you think I am?)

Seester's new place so cute... and comes with DUCK!

Went to Seester's new place today so Zach could help bring in the couch and loveseat. Here's a sneak peak of the work thats been done... painting, clean carpets and they are working on the tiles for the new floor. Their place is SOOOO cute with all of its little built-ins and such. Funniest part was when I saw a random duck walking outside. Yea... a DUCK! Just taking a Sunday stroll through Glendale!
