His birthday dinner: Thai Food

Tyson picked a Thai restaurant in Mesa for his birthday dinner. It came to us HIGHLY recommended so we HAD to try it. I think it's safe to say we fancy Thai food. It's just so good!
We had dinner on Monday (just a couple days early) because of my work schedule. It's actually really nice this way because your birthday becomes a birth-week! I like trying to spread out birthdays and reasons to celebrate for as long as possible!
Curry Puffs were delicious!
Tys ordered Cashew Chicken and we both loved the sauce it came in.

I had the Pad Thai with Beef and loved it! The noodles were perfect- not too filling and just amazing.

We ended the night on a Sweet note by going next door to Sweet Cakes. They just opened a new edition to their store- FROZEN YOGURT!!!!! There was no way we could just walk by and not try it out! And there was no disappointment there. We enjoyed a great night in Mesa celebrating Tyson's birthday!

Birthday Boy!

He really made this face! I decorated while he was asleep and the surprise was a success!



Birthday Breakfast: Birthday Cake, peaches and pears (they HAVE TO BE canned), orange juice, and present opening.

We have a tradition in my family of Birthday breakfasts and I think it's a great way to start off the day! You get to eat yummy cake in the morning and open your presents so that you can use them that day.

It was a fun morning and I'm so glad that I married this man! Happy Birthday Babe!

More birthday posts coming...

Almost but not quite yet!

Tomorrow is Tyson's 23rd birthday! I can't wait to celebrate this day with him!

It broke

Tempe Town Lake had a dam. And it burst last week. Yup. Water and tons of it came rushing into the Salt River. Poor fishes... So we went to go check it out.
And saw this little guy. FREAKED me out! I thought someone was being rescued because there were firetrucks, police men, park rangers, and newsreporters everywhere. When we got closer I said, "Tyson...I think that's a alligator!!!!"

We found out that for some reason they brought this little guy down to the lake...I think it was to eat all the fishes but I have no idea. These kids were so brave.
Tyson was brave and touched it.
So even though I didn't have the courage to, I touched the alligator! (then used Purel to disinfect my hands!)

The Start of everything Lake Powell

Thank you Mom and Dad for a great Scott Family (honk honk) Lake Powell Trip! Every year is fun, exciting and amazing! Thank you for all the hard work and effort you put into this trip. Tyson and I loved every minute!

Happiness

Loved the back of her dress!!


Happiness sums up the whole day. Saturday was a great! Tyson and I attending the Sealing of Christie and Justin in the Mesa, AZ Temple. It was a great experience and we couldn't be happier for them! We enjoyed seeing so many people at their reception and dancing and eating the great food. Christie's family is so special to me. They really have been my Second family in Arizona. I know so many of them through stories that Christie has told me or pictures or meeting them in person. Each one of them is so kind and caring and absolutely fun to be around. All of the girls in her family (5 including Christie) and I had a blast dancing to "This Will Be" from While You Were Sleeping. So glad we could be apart of their special day and can't wait to future double dates with this awesome couple!

Meeting Sandy and Cortney's new edition

Saturday was such a great day! And part of it is because of this little guy!
We met Tyson John Skouson and he is adorable! We had a lot of fun visiting with Sandy and Cortney while holding this little guy. Thanks for letting us stop by! We think they chose a great name! (They will be calling him "Ty" because Sandy served his mission in Thailand!)

Can't wait for a lot of relaxing.....

It's been YEARS!!!!
B- 4 years since she has seen the waters of Lake Powell (cause of school)
T- 5 years since he has wake boarded on the "just like glass" water (cause of school/mission)

Ahhh.... this will be great....

Saturday is a special day!

Guess who's getting married Saturday?
