Poor little Scout has been plagued with nightmares for the past few months. It isn’t every night, and I am convinced it is mostly when he is too hot while he sleeps. (I get nightmares when I am too hot, and Micah just told me that he does also.) Anyway, I was sleeping with him last night, and three different times, he woke up upset. The worse was when he woke me from a dead sleep, and was screaming bloody murder. I said, “Scout, I am right here. Were you having a bad dream?” He said he was, and when I asked him what it was about, he said, “BEARS!” Poor guy. After he was awake and I asked him about his dream, he completely recounted his time at Disneyland with Micah when they found the caves for the bad guys and the bears. (babe — he might be a little young for all the details.)
The good news is that towards the morning, he started cracking up in his sleep and then said, “you see dat?” I would love to know what type of showing off he was doing in that dream.
In honor of Micah’s cousin Jason playing football for DHHS, we get Scout and Navy gussied all up. Unfortunately the last shirt I made for Scout never reappeared, so I had to find another shirt to write on. Because the only white shirt I had was the one sissy used in the hospital, we made do. So Scout sported a crop top to the game. When Micah saw it he was appalled, but I reasured him that he was going to wear a sweatshirt the entire time, and just let the top of it peak out. Too bad that Scout was so in love with his shirt, (probably due to the laughs he got whenever someone saw it), he was not into wearing a sweatshirt to cover it up. I am wondering if he is going to start a new trend.
On the other hand, Icka’s outfit was pretty tame. And to our surprise, she was really good at the game as long as she could stuff anything and everything in her mouth. Between pirate booty and bread sticks, she was as happy as can be. Our worry was that she is so constantly on the go, (notice the picture where she is climbing the stairs at top speed), that sitting in one place for over two hours wouldn’t jive. But with B’s trick of bringing the car seat along, and my ability to have food in her hands at every moment, the game was a success.

Micah couldn’t be happier.
It is funny, because I can see some similarities between my two kids, but I would never call them twins. But no matter where we are, people are dying over how much they look like one another. Here are pictures of them both at 7 months….so see for yourself…
I take it back. They are twins. Good thing Icka was wearing a girly bathing suit to give away who was who.
Since we spent all summer long with our cousins, it has been WAY too long. In fact, Scout is always saying something in his prayers about Jake. I guess we will have to head down to San Diego for one of Jake’s x-country meets.
ne of my favorite pictures of Scout is when Skilly is holding him at three months up Provo canyon. So when we went there this past summer, I made sure to get a shot of Skilly and Icka, and another with Scout. Talk about picturesque.
Scout at 3 months.
Scout at 2 1/4 years old.
Icka at 7 months.
I find it interesting that my photo up Provo canyon doesn’t quite have the same appeal. Odd….isn’t it?
Must have been the lighting.
I can’t believe it is fall already. It seems like summer just started. Scout and I decorated for Halloween yesterday, but first to my mom’s disgust, I turned him into a female dalmatian so he could get into the spirit. (My mom’s disgust was a result of permanent marker all over my boy….not that he was a female dog.) Afterward, he immediately hopped into the pool before all of that black rubbed off on the furniture. Ruff Ruff.
Because Micah got in free at Disneyland on his birthday, he took Scout on a special date. Besides getting their stroller “stolen” and having to file a report, they had the best time. (It ended up showing up, due to it being relocated because Micah parked it in a non stroller zone. Who has ever heard of a non stroller zone?) Scout was in heaven because he got to do total guy stuff. Stuff I literally have never done in all my times at Disneyland. They hung out in Tarzan’s Treehouse and on Tom Sawyer’s island a good chunk of the day. Then Micah waited in the really long line at Mickey’s house. I would never! Good for him. Scout zonked on the way home in his chillaxed way. He snapped a few shots, and I am loving them. How cute!
Shmickety Dickety had his 33rd birthday on Saturday. I honor….I went original and had a dinner party for him with a few friends including the Zimms, Zimms and Tackys. We had a great time, and laughed pretty good. The highlight of the night was definitely B. Tacky telling his “fired” and “Steve Jobs” stories. A close second was Jim Zimm’s ability — or lack there of — at playing Balderdash. Those guys are classic! Happy birthday babe, and I hope my cooking and party planning made it great!
