SNOW!!!

Ok seriously?? This much SNOW already? I was snowed in yesterday at the mountain house. The snow NEVER stopped all day! The boys were EXCITED for the first blizzard of the year. I hope this isn't a SIGN of what's to come....!

Let's go back....August 9, 2008

I want to go back and post some events of the past year so I will have it for my journal....so I thought I would start with Ry's Birthday!

Rules for the Stott Birthdays:
1. They only come once a year, so make it special.

2. They are not birthdays, but birthday weekends.

3. You must celebrate with family, friends, and yourself.

4.You have to eat, drink, and get all the wishes you want.

So this year for Ry's birthday, he told me that he wanted to lay low. Keep it small, no gifts..we are building a house. I said okay, and left it at that. Nope, he should know better. Ry did manage to go golfing and lunch with the guys. (friends) Get a massage. (yourself) and go to lunch with the kids. (family) But his birthday was not over... He needed a bigger celebration, it was his birthday. So when Ry was off getting a massage, me and the kids hit Macey's, Harmons, Zurchers, and the Buckle. We bought the balloons, banana cream pie (his fav), 30 ice-cold Coke a Cola's in the glass bottle (bought Macey's clean out), and a cute outfit from the Buckle. ( I do have to admit, that was actually my birthday present.) Later when Ry and I left the house that afternoon for a not so good Mexican lunch, the kids were in charge of setting up all of the loot: balloons, homemade cards, pie, cokes, presents, and music. Ashlyn was in charge of the ipod and she chose Jesse McCartney, "I'm Leaving." (hmm. I think boy crush) Then they got everything ready so when Ry walked in the door with Jesse McCartney singing, Mace dancing, and the kids screaming, suprise, then I knew he had a fabulous birthday! Happy Birthday Ry.
