Happy Birthday Scout!!!

I know this is late, but it's been a long day and the birthday girl is now in bed so I can finally do this. Here are some of the things that Scout loves:


kitties and doggies

Nuts, all sorts

Egg drop soup (she loves most Asian food, especially Japanese)

She loves vanilla ice cream (excuse me, sindilla)

She loves Kiki (there she is wrapped up in kiki, sleeping, and with grandma. Lots of things she loves)

She loves apple juice (and apples!)



She LOVES animals (all kinds, when I asked her tonight she specifically mentioned: elephants, zebras, camels, kitties, kangaroos, and koalas -but really, she loves all of them and has had a lifelong fascination with them all.


Along with that, you can bet that she LOVES the zoo. We are sad being stuck in Utah Valley, as before we were only about 10 minutes away and were able to go weekly. Maybe someday again...


She has developed a recent obsession with flip flops. She mentions them all the time these days and wished for them about 3 times a day for weeks now. She got a pair today for her birthday and is loving life. So easy to please.


Finally boy does she love Charlie and Lola.
Rob and I consider ourselves very lucky. She likes some annoying stuff, but to have this as her favorite makes me want to give her a high five. It really is so cute- you can't beat little British kids for cuteness. Her love of Charlie and Lola has inspired an occasional accent from her, and she has picked up such British terms such as: wobbly, biscuits (for cookies- she calls Oreos "black biscuits", says "ever so" and so on -oh and since the show introduced her to "the big dipper" in the sky, it's "the big dippah" when she says it).

Love you sweetheart, kisses!!!

Lovely posting, Emily. Happy birthday, Scout. I had never heard of Charlie and Lola but I watched the clip and see that I have been missing out. I am glad scout likes it. "Black biscuits" is so funny. She's a pistol, that scout. Glad you have her. Love, Grandpa Wright

Happy Birthday Scout! I thought of her a lot today as I was preparing for Annie's party. Hope she had a great day! Kisses from Aunt Amy!

Scout is very loved. I think about her all the time. So happy she is part of our family. Can't wait for her party on Saturday! Yes, not the most flattering pic of Mom. It's just the angle and the way her sweater has ridden up a little.

Yes Happy Birthday to Scout and Annie. What great girls. And of course my sister Sharon is wonderful too. What a great day! Wish all the best!

Happy birthday Scout! You are a great addition to this family! Yeah, it seriously took me about a minute (literally) to figure out that that was Grandma in that picture. It doesn't even look like her at all. Weird. Charlie and Lola are so cute. I hope Allison likes it when she is older, hee hee.

Sue said...

Happy Birthday Scout! Nice posting Em. Her doing a british accent once in awhile is hilarious. She looks so cute sleeping next to mom.

Yea! Haley, Marcus and Allison made a supprise visit tonight (friday, June 19) They showed up at Kyles baseball game that he pitched to a win. He came in to pitch after the 2ed inning with his team down like 2 to 11 and they won 15 to 14. Waytogo, Kyle! By-the-way: You know there is baseball in the heavens, because the Bible starts with "In the Big Inning".....

Amy said...

Good one dad! Ya, the game was sweet! And I'm holding sweet, baby Allison now. So fun to have them here. She changes so much each time we see her!

Neaners said...

How nice they came to visit. Happy Father's Day to the great dads in this family!

It took me a couple of days to shake off dad's joke.

It was great to see everyone at Em's house Saturday for Scout's birthday. We had a lot of fun.

I think it's so cute that Scout loves nuts. I remember once when you guys were at my house, I had a bowl of pistachios on the coffee table, and Scout ate a bunch of them. She called them "tacos".
