I made you a mix tape!

Found this today. What an easy way to kill 5-6 hours. Kudos to the guys at Mixwit. This is definitely one of the funnest things I've seen on the interweb in a long time. Flip through and check out the songs. Don't forget to come back to the dance floor for the slow jams.

Bicycle Safety

I thought this little gem was worth a post. It's an old bicycle safety film from the '50s. You gotta watch the whole thing cuz you don't want to be a monkey do you? Right? Right! (it will make sense after you watch the video)

Doin' an 'O' out in the desert

I'll be headed out past Murphy this weekend for an orienteering meet with this group. It's a 4 hour Rogaine (Rugged Outdoor Group Activity Involving Navigation and Endurance) which should be pretty interesting. I'm hoping to take my GPS (which isn't really allowed) just to save my track so I can look at it in Google Earth later.

Pics and stories about our recent trip to Nashville, with the twins and Samantha. . . and AAAALLLLLLLLL their stuff.

Robie race pics

Here's a little photo blog of friends and family running Robie Creek

Yeah me!

Heather, you're not working hard enough if you're smiling

And my personal favorite, Gary givin' it the "Right On!"

Offical Time

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this yet. I mean, I'm happy that I met my goal, and amazed at how close I was. But I'm also a bit bummed because I actually thought I might beat my goal by a few minutes. I guess I should be happy since I hit a new PR and took 15 minutes off of last year's time.

I felt like CRAP for the first 4 miles. I don't think I went out too fast or anything like that because my pace felt good, I just felt like things weren't clicking. I walked for about 30 seconds at an aid station to get my heart rate down and that seemed to do the trick. And just like every year, it looks like I'll be losing one of my toenails.

Unofficial Time

It's that time again

After several months of no posts I figure it's time to get back on the blogging wagon. Trying to get time, let alone interesting topics that the few of you out there would actually read has been the biggest road block. Let's just get back into it and see how it goes.

It's also time again for the annual sufferfest, The Race to Robie Creek. This race is known as "The Toughest Half-Marathon in the Northwest". The elevation gain is 2296 feet in the first 8.5 miles. Then 1700 feet down in the final 4.5 miles.

HOLY LOWER-BODY-CRAMPAGE BAT MAN! This will be my 4th time running Robie and so far I've set a new PR every time. This year I'm looking to shave about 25 minutes off of last years time. My new goal is:

During the past 4 months I've dropped 30lbs thanks to Taylor and Heather who put a Biggest Loser competition. Yes, I was the biggest loser (yeah, yeah, in more ways than one, very funny). But thanks to my new found fitness my legs have gotten pretty fast and my lactic-acid-pain-threshold is as high as it's ever been. I'm shooting for top ten in my age group. I'll images and finish times when it's all over.

Yes, we're finally getting some sleep

I know, I know, it's about time right? Once you have twins little things like personal blogs find their way to the bottom of the list. But, I thought you would all enjoy some new pics of the twins. I'll try to keep the updates a little more frequent.

New photos of the Twins

I finally got some time to add a new album of the Twins.

Things have been great. The new fam came home on Friday and we have been adjusting very well. The Twins are eating and sleeping like champs. Friday night was pretty rough but we made some adjustments and Saturday night was smooth sailing, well... at least as good as it can with twins I guess. We're in full on baby mode now... wake up, change poopy diaper, feed baby, go to sleep X 2.

Gotta keep it short, I'm awake so it must be time to do something else on the list.

They're Here!

We would like everybody to meet Teagan and Finley (two girls!). The delivery went GREAT and they are both healthy and strong. Finley was born first and she was 6lbs 13oz and Teagan was second and she was 7lbs 1oz. They didn't have to spend any time in the NICU (woohoo!!!!) and went right up to the nursery. Lauren is recovering well and we hope to be home soon. I'll try to get a gallery together of all the new cuteness but until then, here are some quick pics. Check out how you did in the baby pool.

Last chance to get in the pool!

As you can see from this previous post, it's getting down to the wire. The Twins will be here VERY soon. So if you haven't guessed what the Twins are going to be yet, make sure you visit our baby pool and let us know what you think we're having. If your guess has already come and gone, please feel free to post another.

Remember, when you visit Expectnet there is box in the upper-left called "Invited Guests". Enter in Scott-Twins and click "Go". Then on the right side there are links for entering a guess for Baby A and for Baby B.

Baby Pool

We started this little Baby pool for the Twins so we can see what everybody thinks we're going to have. Enter as many guesses as you like. We'll send the winner a nice-little-something (maybe the twins' first diaper).

When you visit Expectnet there is box in the upper-left called "Invited Guests". Enter in Scott-Twins and click "Go". Then on the right side there are links for entering a guess for Baby A and for Baby B. Good luck and have fun!

Countdown to Twins!

They're here! They're here!

We've finally set an appointment! Set your clocks, mark your calendars. They're coming! Are you ready?

UPDATE!
I just realized something...if the twins are actually born on Tuesday then their birthday will be 06-06-06. Uh...honey, can we reschedule? Oh well, it must be some kind of Omen. Besides, Damien has a nice ring to it.

Another day older

Happy B Day to me!
