Seriously???

If this girl makes it through life with teeth it will be a miracle. So a few days after Christmas, the girls were out riding their new electric scooters and I was in getting ready for work when Saige came running into the house to tell me that Misha had crashed and had knocked out her teeth...I freaked out because I was remembering the last time that happened and it was no good...So I ran outside in the first clothes I had grabbed to put on and she was out there bleeding from her chin and mouth with a tooth knocked completely out with the root broken off and still stuck in her gums... So off to the dentist to get it looked at where they took an xray and patched up a chip on the tooth behind the one she knocked out. Poor kid. Then it was off to the pediatrician to look at her chin and see if it needed stitches...Luckily it didn't so he just steri stripped it together and sent us on our way. So glad it wasn't worse and now I am sending them out with helmets and gear to ride their scooters...

Fun With Cousins!

Rich's brother Bruce and his family who live in Omaha were here for Christmas this year and we were so happy to get to spend a little bit of time with them. We headed over to Logan to the Cache Valley Fun Park to let the kids burn off a little energy and boredom. The girls had fun trying to learn how to roller skate. Saige and Brighton wore their cute animal hats to match each other. Brighton was so good to help Saige on the roller skates. They had alot of fun!
And Rich gets the award for being a great dad that day because when Misha was struggling to skate he just went and rented some skates for himself and went out and helped her. It was so much fun just hanging out with family and spending time together!

Christmas 2011

We had our annual Skinner Christmas party the Saturday before Christmas up at my parents, well at their church. My very kind sister Leslie, who treats my kids like her grandkids and spoils them to pieces, gave my kids a couple little gifts and man were they excited. Greyson held his the whole way home and fell asleep with them on the way. So cute!Christmas Eve at the Bischoff's. We have started a tradition of going caroling at the nursing home and then go to Rich's parents after for Christmas Eve dinner. This year I had a really bad headache so I missed out on the caroling but made it up for dinner at the Bischoff's. This year Rich's mom did a Jerusulam dinner. The kids always are so excited to go to grandmas and were so hyper for Santa was coming this very night! They didn't go to bed until way too late....
And they woke up so very very early....They came in 2 or 3 times asking if they could go out and see what Santa brought before we finally gave in...So TiReD!!!! But it was way fun seeing them so excited! The girls had to wake up Greyson this year again, just like last year. Poor kid. He would have been fine sleeping a little longer but it didn't take him long to perk right up and get in on the excitement.
And, the aftermath.....
They were pretty dang happy and pretty dang spoiled...Happy Christmas 2011!!!

Christmas Decor.

It was fun decorating the new house for Christmas. I will probably want to add a little more in the future but I just used what I had this year. I am used to decorating a much smaller space so it will be fun to add a little each year. Merry Christmas!

Tavaci Christmas Concert....

Saige's Christmas Tavaci concert this year was really cute. She LOVES singing and doing Tavaci. She is a cutie and quite the performer!

Ward Christmas Party

Santa came to visit at our new ward's Christmas party! The kids were very excited to tell Santa what they would like him to bring them! :) Happy Holidays! Greyson wants a "yightning makeen yace tack" (lightning mcqueen race track)Misha wants a Fijit and a ipod...Just like her big sister....
Saige, who Also wants a Fijit and an ipod....Lets hope he delivers!

My little buddy...

Greyson is so fun. I am so thankful to have him in my life. He is hard in some ways but so much fun and makes me laugh. He loves to play with his sissies. He even plays dress up with Misha and Marli.He says and does the funniest things and keeps me laughing and entertained while the girls are at school. His latest saying has been "OH, What a Day!" Totally random. Also when it is getting later in the day and getting dark he has said quite a few times, "Is it getting dark? Oh, Not Again!!!"
He loves playing with toys and has such a fun imagination. He is such a sweetie!
And every once in awhile he will fall asleep cuz he is just plain tired, but that doesn't happen too often...And when he does by chance have a nap, he is up until way late at night. We sure do love our little dude and just want to hug and squeeze him all day long. He tells me not to pinch his bum cheekies tho, but I just can't help it! :)
