Crazy Memories....

The other day I was remembering when we first moved to St. George and we lived with ma and pa Scott. We slept in the living room, which was just off of the kitchen, so very early in the morning we would hear a loud crackling... then stop...crackling...stop...crackling. It was Jaren (or "Fire") getting his mug filled with ice from the freezer door before heading off to work-- which was driving a linen truck-- which required him to wear shorts-- which reminded me of Doug on the King of Queens. Anyway Jaren was trying to be nice and not be loud, but the pausing and then some made it much worse and just dragged on the loudness. That is probably why I get so irritated when my girls are getting ice and they keep pushing for the ice again and again and again....it reminds me of being woken up so early in the morning, many years ago.

who new?

the scott family has a blog for 2 days and everyone can't get enough. luckily ma hinted that i should write, or you all wouldn't even know if i'm alive. you want an update... well i'm sitting here at my computer waiting for a guy from the Technology and Commercialization Department to send my my collaboration letter so that I can submit this grant that is due by 10 am in the morning. Everything is set... just waiting for 1 stinking letter. Is that pretty exciting. Don't you all feel better knowing what I'm up to.
Oh yah... we sold our house, bought a townhome, Emma is sick, Libby is psycho, Sawyer doesn't sleep through the night and I still don't have a job.
Peace.

Happy Birthday from Mom, as well. I love this option for communicating, but I want to check it too much. I have to be careful not to neglect my work to play here.

See you tonight Cedar City Scotts!

I loved your trip update, Parly! Sounds like you guys had a great time in California.

Any news in Houston, Brenton?

Happy Bday Shalyse.
We are coming down to SG today to see mom, dad, and you for your Birthdays. Mom told me she is tending Henry for you and so we are assuming you have plans, but may get to see you when you drop him off or pick him up.
As for an update with the ScottsinCedar. We have the goal of finishing the backyard this summer. I spent all weekend on the tractor moving dirt and so we are that much closer. Plan on a BBQ by mid-summer.
Cooper is a bike riding fool. I took his training wheels off about a year ago and he hasn't really ridden his bike since. Mom (Susan) gave him a scooter for Christmas and he thinks he is the Toni Hawk of scooter riding (only Cooper has more scab than skin on his body right now) Well, this weekend he decided he wants to be a pro bike rider and now we don't see him much. The bike has revolutionized the way he gets around the neighborhood. Watch out--Nick Ence Jr is on the loose.

Today is your Birthday!

The Scotts in Santa Clara wanted to wish Shalyse a very
Happy Birthday! (click on Happy Birthday)

Olive Garden

So it wasn't a rumor or urban legend after all. The Olive Garden has actually made it's way to St. George.

We all remember back in 1998 (date provided by Shayne) when Susan told us the exciting news. Well as the years went by we doubted and each time she told us it was really coming we scoffed at her. She has now had the last laugh. So maybe as a peace offering we should all go and enjoy together.

Jared's photos on Flickr

This is a link to Jared Stanley's photos. There are some for everyone to look at, he is scanning many old photos in and posting them here. It will be especially interesting to Brenton who is in some of the photos.
