Photo Tag

Here is another tag... Rules: Go to your picture files. Pick the 4th file, and the 4th picture in it. Tell a little about the picture. Tag 4 friends.
WOW, everytime I see this picture it reminds me how lucky we are right now. That was a really hard time for our family. This is a picture of Skylan 4 days after she broke her leg. I started babysitting my friends cute kids that day. It was really crazy. Jayden was 6 months old and Skylan just turned 2. We went to the park and she fell off the landing (right after the steps). She broke her femur. She was in this basically full body cast for 6 weeks. The cast went from under both armpits, down both legs and stopped at her toes. She had an opening for her diaper. She couldn't sit down. She just laid there. We would prop her up against a chair so that she could color. Even though she couldn't do much she was still smiling. I couldn't give her a bath either so I would have to lay her on the counter to wash her hair over the sink. She had a special carseat. I love Skylan so much. I am so grateful for her beautiful spirit and determination. She is my little angel. I love you Skylan.

Brother & Sisters- Best Friends-- I Love You, Mom

Skylan, Jayden & Daxton- Best Friends

I love my little ones so much. They are so much fun to be around. They always make me smile and laugh. I love to hear the new things they say. I am so grateful that they love each other so much. They are all such good friends. Skylan and Jade always play together and are always sticking up for the other when in trouble. They absolutely adore their little brother. They love to hold, kiss and play with him. They get so excited to see each other after taking naps or if they were away from the other. I have been so blessed to have our sweet little kids. I love them so much- They are the greatest! XOXO Mom

Chuck-E-Cheese


Paul took a Thursday off of work a few weeks ago and we took the girls to Chuck-E-Cheese. It was a blast. We had so much fun playing with the girls. They love Chuck-e-cheese and can spot it a mile away. Skylan did awesome at shooting water at a target and got lots of tickets. Jayden just had fun being with big sister and daddy. She loves to play all of the games. They already want to go back. Jayden's birthday is next month so we will probally go again soon. The only sad part was that Daxton wasn't feeling very well. He threw up all over the floor but he still was smiling. I love my "momma's boy".

Jeeping w/ Olivia & Chase


We had Olivia and Chase come over and play with the girls the other day. It was lots of fun. Olivia was so excited when I told her that Skylan and Jayden had a pink princess jeep. She was so excited to drive it around. Skylan showed her how to do it and she caught on pretty quickly. They had lots of fun and did a pretty good job of taking turns.

Nana's Birthday


We went over to Kelly's house for Nana's birthday. It was so much fun. We had a barbeque, the kids hit a pinata, and let the kids run wild playing with their cousins. The girls love playing with their cousins.

Big Girl Day

We had a big girl day at our house. Skylan has been being a very big girl lately. We decided to reward her and her little sister- that follows everything that she does with big girl day. We wrapped up their new computers. They were so excited. Skylan asked me if it was hers or Jayden's birthday. Skylan has wanted this computer like mommy's so badly. She has been so excited to play with it. Jayden has wanted to play with Skylan's computer too but has loved having her own.
