SO our Christmas started on the 23rd, we travled up to NC to see my parents. While we were there, there was also a family reunion of sorts for Christmas, so we stopped by. It was the first time for a lot of my family seeing Tanner. Of course he was a hit. But he wanted nothing to do with the adults, he wanted to play with the kids and the dog. While we were at the party, my cousin Geoffrey proposed to his girlfriend Alicia. So there's going to be a wedding. We didnt stay long, when we got back to my parnets house there was blackout, the whole neighborhood was dark, so we grabbed the laptop and played Disney's Scene it by candle light. Fastforward to Christmas Eve....we did presents:
Yep I got me a laptop!! Yippee! I also got a cute bag to carry it in. Some earrings from my sister, a Vera Bradley purse, and a CD I've been wanting. (Told you made out like badits.)
Next, Christmas at our house....
After an awesome dinner with my family, we packed up my car, and headed home. We got there about 7:45pm. Unloaded the car, changed into our pjs, and had our Christmas. Scott had to be at work at 6:30, and he didnt want us to have to wake up at 4 to do Christmas, so we decided to it Christmas Eve.
And our 3rd Christmas...the inlaws!!
And our Christmas adventure ends with Christmas at my in laws. Man oh man. I will say Tanner got more toys there than anywhere. Wow, I dont know what to do with them all. We gave some of his toys that he doesnt play with to good will and the Police station where my mom works, I'm begining to think we didnt give away enough. He got a Vtech Baby video game:

Tanner's birthday
Originally uploaded by HeatherScott.
Its been a rather gloomy day, lots of rain, and no sun. But we've made the best of it. Being lazy, and coloring, and of course watching the Polor Express again. Tanner didn't get lots of gifts today, just 2. Some warm pjs, and that light there in the picture. It has all the super heros and shows up all over when its on. He loved it. Tomorrow we will be seeing my parents which means lots of Christmas presents for him, and then we're doing Christmas together Christmas Eve, because Scott has to be at work on Christmas morning at 530am. Then when he gets home at 3 we're going to his parents for Christmas with them, so needless to say we will have a very busy weekend, I hope I get some time to post durning the next few days, if not I hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas!!

Yep today is the day, that my sweet, baby boy turns 2. Where has the time gone? I look at him and still see the 7lb 11oz, little baby I brought home from the hospital....
My dear sweet boy:
Today is your birthday, you are 2. No matter how hard I want to deny it you are growing up. You are a big boy now, and not a little baby. (Even though you will always be my baby) It amazes me how much you have grown this year, especially in the past few months. You are talking, your vocabulary has tripled in the past month. You can count to 5, and you know your animals...especially elephant, which you pronounce elllfont...but I know what you mean. You have the most beautiful spirit I have ever encountered. You have the ability to make anyone smile. You show compassion at your young age, and as you get older I hope you hold on to that. When someone cries, you want to hug them and make them laugh. You are not scared of anything, and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing yet. You love to jump on the bed and dance. You copy dances you see on TV, dances that mommy would never attempt in a thousand years, and some how when you grab my hand and we dance, you look at me like I am Ginger Rogers, and my heart feels with joy. Thank you my sweet, sweet boy, for teaching mommy its okay to be silly once in awhile, and for being daddy's wrestling partner. Know that you have my heart little man, and I love you always. "My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish."
Happy birthday Tanner, mommy and daddy love you so, so much!!!

Well I guess I should update. I had finals yesterday and....drum roll please, I made the Honor Roll...2 A's and a B. I'm a little disappointed in the B, but I'll take it. It could be worse. So I'm done with school, until the 8th. Woooo Whooo, I can actually sleep in a little. Today we had a Christmas party at the school for the kids, and I was told I could bring Tanner. He's chowing down in the pic, I have several others, but he was with other kids, and until I learn how to blur them out, I wont post them. But he had a great time. He loved being with the kids. I was so proud of him, seeing him around other 2 year olds makes me realize how well he behaves. He shares, he doesnt hit or push, even if he was pushed, he doesnt take toys from other kids, and when he saw someone crying he tried to hug them. I'm worn out from 11, 2 year olds, but he sure had some fun.....
Labels: The kid
He watched both showings of the movie, I think I'll have to get it for him for Christmas or his Auntie Kristi will have too, (hint hint). Well I'm off to study finals are tomorrow, then I'm out of school until January 8. Woo whoo!!Labels: The kid
Make sure to pay attention to Tanner's outfits, since I ended up having to throw him in the shower half way through the party.
So after everyone played outside, and some of them turned blue...everyone came in to eat hotdogs and chips.
And while everyone ate and talked the entertainment put on the cutest little show, that kept everyone smiling...
This is Beck's little one Christopher and he was passed to every female at the party. He is a doll. So after food, came the presents, and boy was there a lot of them!!
This is just the presents from the grandparents, Aunt Kristi, and us...and guess who ended up opening them all? Me, he wanted to play with everything as soon as he saw it.
This is the magna doodle that Beck and her kids got him, he loves and has played with it most of the day.
And this is the Zebra that my sister got him, and he loves the way it spins around, it looks like he's riding a mechanical bull when he gets on it.
And then of course there was cake and ice cream!! Yum!!! This is the ice cream cake, that we still haven't cut yet, and below is the one that is now gone
And of course this post wouldnt be complete if there weren't some messy face pictures...this first one he did all by himself...
Then he decided to eat it like a big boy...but he still made a mess, I am so glad he did it all by himself, and we didnt have to push his face in it!
And then after everyone went home, Tanner decided to party some more all by himself, and this is why all the cake is gone
And so we made it though the birthday party with minimal stress, we did have a few mishaps before the party, like a bouquet of balloons getting sucked into our ceiling fan, but all it all I thought it turned out great. Tanner had a blast as did I. But I am glad birthday parties only come once a year. LOL. These are only some of the pics, I think at last count the counter said 408...you can CLICK HERE to see somemore, I think I really on edited 50 so far, but they are up on flickr, so click away and enjoy.Labels: The kid
I promise a long birthday party post, with lots of pictures but I'm still going through pictures. Between me and my dad, we took almost 400. So between picking the ones I want to share and editing, its taking awhile. So check back in the morning, I promise it will be worth it...

To take pictures of my big boy. Everyday it gets harder and harder to get any good shots because he's always on the go, and he just doenst want to smile anymore, he would rather run and laugh. While that is adorable too, I miss getting those big eyes in a shot. Dont get me wrong once in awhile he will give me a good look, but I miss those days when I could take one whenever I wanted. I guess now I will have to become more creative with my pictures. After I graduate, maybe I will take a photography class. We've been steady getting ready for his birthday party this weekend, it seems like once we get something done, 2 more somethings come up. I know I will never feel like everything is totally done before Sat. and I will have to deal with it, but this is really the first time that we've had a bunch of people over since we've been married. We had a party when we were dating, but then it didnt really matter. It was a party with drinking...we were young...now I want everything to be spotless, and in its place, which never happens with a soon to be 2 year old. I went to order his cakes today, and of course the machine is broke for one of them so now I have to go check somewhere else. Oh well I'm off to do another load of laundry and then I'm taking my butt to bed.

Man, am I ever tired. We have stayed busy this whole weekend, and we havent left the house once. We got a lot accomplished so we pretty much just have detail work to do before this weekend. I even got all my Christmas cards done. Yay! I'm still feeling good. I started coughing again, but no where near as bad as I was before. Last night I finally got into the Christmas spirit. Yep it finally hit me. We were watching The Polar Express and I got the Christmas feeling...I have never seen the movie before, and I have to say it has become a fast favorite. Tanner loved it, he actually sat down for the whole movie. Well after a busy weekend, I have to sit down and do my homework, so I'm not rushing to do it in the morning. Until later...oh yeah, we havent had success with potty training today, it seems like we would sit him on there for 20 minutes and the minute we put the pull up on him, he would pee. LOL. Thats my boy.

Like I said we started the potty training on Thrus. but today we had all day to really work on it, and guess what?! He peed and pooped in the potty today. Just once, but its a start. We made a big deal about it, and gave him a sucker. Hopefully we will continue to have this kind of progress. I'm so proud of him. We got a lot done today, Scott got the lights up, he cleaned the office, and Tanner's room, I cleaned and unclutter the cabinets in the kitchen and the living room. Needless to say its been a busy day. And I feel better. I've been taking my medicine like I'm suppose to, and I really do feel better. Just a little headache once in awhile. I'm waiting for Toot to go to sleep so I can get to my Christmas cards. He should be winding down soon. Hopefully I dont wind down, I really want to get at least half of my cards done tonight, and the rest done tomorrow...I guess we will see.Labels: The kid

I'm still here and still sick. It wouldnt be so bad if I wasnt coughing so hard...but I cough so hard my head is killing me, I probably rattled something loose up there. Man. So I stayed home from work, I probably should have done that yesterday. They tried to send me home, but I was stubborn. I'm pumping myself full of cough meds, but nothing seems to help. I WANT MY MOMMY!!! ( Just in case you're reading this mom). I'm a big baby when I get sick. And its hard to be sick with a toddler running around. Even though I must say he's been awesome since his daddy left. He laid down and took a nap with me so I could get some rest, and he's still asleep so I can study for yet another test. 2 more weeks, just 2 more weeks, then I get some real time off so my brain can relax. Okay, I'm just whining now, I told you I was a baby when I get sick.Labels: Absoulutly Blah

And I will end....and you guys will begin with Tanner. Thats what everyone comes here for anyway...lol. He's learned so much this week. He can count to 3. He is learning animals right and left. He can say elephant (Lphat) . A video came on the Disney channel this morning, and he was like Lphant, duck, monkey, puppy....and he got them all right. I was like wow, he really does listen. And he's learning. I was just hoping to get him to say 2 before his birthday, but I got a little more. Which is awesome. He's going to start daycare in Jan. 3 days a week, 4 hours a day. I've got the paperwork filled out all I have to do is go turn it in. My little boy is growing up so fast.

Kissing under the Christmas lights

Just another pic of us, since I dont post pictures of grown ups on my blog too often.

So I mentioned food...well they had wasobee there (I'm probably spelling it wrong) and Scott wanted to try it. He's heard how hot it was...so he put a small spoon full on his plate. Well one of his friends dared him to eat the whole spoon full, and you know men, they never back down from a dare...the picture doesnt do justice to the moment...he turned 5 differant shades of red, starting at his chin and working its way up...no joke. Needless to say I dont think he will do that again.
We went to Scott's company Christmas party last night. We had a good time. It was nice to go out without Tanner. Even though it broke my heart that he wasn't up set that we were leaving. Go figure. They had good food at the party, and we even won a door prize. A bottle of wine, which of course we dont drink. LOL.
Blogger is being dumb right now, and since I want to post pictures I have to do it from Flickr. So bare with me please. I have to post each picture seperately because I'm no good with HTML codes.
So I took this yesterday, Scott was cleaning the floors and Tanner decided he wanted to help too.
