Someone is getting old!

Scott turned 40...yes the big 4-0! Here's a few things I love about Scott...He always puts other people first. He is a fabulous doctor and his patients love him. He is ambitious, responsible, and of course works harder than anyone I know. He takes great care of himself. He is almost always in a good mood. He loves his family (including extended family). He has great respect for his parents. He is kind. He is intelligent and funny. He can fix anything or figure anything out. He loves the outdoors. He thinks before he reacts. He gives people the benefit of the doubt. He is one of a kind! I love you!

Here are a few photos (just a few) of this hunky old man!

Another beautiful creation by me. I know, I know, I should sell these beauties at a bakery...
My brother-in-law Rob has some connections in the banner business. We had to put a spotlight on it because of course Scott didn't get home from work until after dark on his birthday!

Quite GQ don't you think?
This is how Scott rolls...one kid on his shoulders and one on his back
Or sometimes, one kid in front and one behind.
He fits right in with the kids!


Picture above from his 20 year high school reunion (sorry about the blur)
Scott's usual attire...accessorized by a lovely black pager.

Like a friend said... he has the body of a 20 year old.
Graduation from Cardiology Fellowship...
Scott's good friend and fellow Cardiologist (Steve Minor)...note: Scott did not give him that black eye

As I said before, this is how Scott gets around
Sporting a little scruff
This is how Scott feels about turning 40.

Merry Christmas!!

Big 4-0!

Yes, I hit the big 40 a couple days ago. It's very strange to be that old. I still feel like I'm 25, but I'm sure I am definitely as mature as a 40 year old :)

For my birthday, we went to dinner with my sisters and mom and their husbands. It was a lot of fun. Scott made a cake. He insisted on making it...he did work at a bakery when he was a teenage, so I was expecting his usual perfection in everything he does...

Perfection? Not quite. I guess it's been a tad bit too many years since those bakery days...

I love BYU...

We met Scott's parents at the BYU bookstore a couple days ago so the kids could pick out some BYU sweatshirts for Christmas. I was shocked how much the Wilkinson Center and the bookstore have changed. I love BYU and want my kids to love it to...and go there someday. It brought back a lot of wonderful memories to be on the campus. I admit I got a little teary eyed. Scott just rolled his eyes at me. He likes to tease me about how much I love hiking the Y, going to the Creamery, eating at Brick Oven, and how I always point out to the kids my college days jogging route and the apartments I lived in. My family moved to Europe when I was a sophomore at BYU, so BYU became home to me. It was a great time of life...and a hard one too, but mostly great. It was the place I went from teenage to adult and figured out what I wanted out of life. One day I hope to go back and get my PhD and then teach there. Maybe we'll even move to Provo and I can make Scott hike the Y and run my old jogging route regularly :)

Halloween!!!

Ireland was a witch/wizard, Ethan a BYU fan, Ryan..Ironman, and Caleb was Batman and Ironman (depending on his mood :) )




We went to the Halloween parade at the school last Friday. We had to walk down a long hallway to get to the gym (where the parade was). The school kids were all sitting in chairs along both sides of the hall. When they saw the boys they all cheered, "Ironman! Ironman! Ironman!" I turned to look behind me at Ry and Caleb and Caleb was strutting down the middle of the hallway with a big smile on his face and Ryan was giving high 5's to the kids on either side of the hallway all the way down to the gym. It was so funny! They thought they were pretty awesome!

Work it baby!

Scott was lifting weights one night and Caleb had to join in, shirt off and all. (Yes that is muscle man Scott in the background)

Ethan's Baptism

Ethan was baptized a couple days ago on Oct 9th. We are excited that he is officially a member of the church and proud of him for his decision. We love you Eth!

Ethan!

Ethan won the "Outstanding Academic Award" in his class. His friend Luke Romney(the blond) also won for his class. I was one proud mama! Scott was equally impressed. Way to go Ethan!

Ethan's Birthday!

Ethan turned 8 last week! We celebrated at "Incredible Pizza". The pizza was anything but incredible. Luckily the boys had fun!
