When Kids are QUIET???

Taylor and Bridger have started playing together really well for the most part. Now that Bridger has the stairs mastered they go play upstairs together a lot in the evenings while Jaman and I watch a little TV together. This one particular evening they were being extremely quiet for a long time. RARE we always here them usually fighting over a toy. So I said to myself I should go check on them.

Behind a closed door of GIGGLES .......I find this!!!!! Taylor had pretty much emptied a WHOLE bottle of baby powder on Bridger's head. They both thought it was HILARIOUS. So did we. I had to have Jaman hurry and get the camera to take a picture of this before

he had one of these. I love little moments like this when you want to be upset but instead you just LAUGH!!!!!

Happy Birthday Brider!

We had a fun party with lots of family. It was so much fun having a family party. We have lived away for the past 4 years so we have celebrated birthdays with lots of friends and no family could ever come. So thanks for all who came!!

Our Bridger turned 1

I can't believe it has been a year since this little guy was born. So much has happened in this year but it has gone by so fast. Things Bridger loves at a year. DIRT...hence the dirt cake. He loves to be outside. Loves to play with cars and balls. He is taking lots of steps and tries walking all the time. He still crawls a lot if he is in a hurry to get some where. He loves to wrestle and play with his sister.He has 8 teeth. He is a big mommy's boy but as long as I am not around he is content with being with whoever. We love this little guy so much and feel so blessed to have him in our life. We love you Bridger Happy Birthday Bugga!

Bridger and Grandma Skillings. We are so lucky to have Jaman's grandparents right across the street. I have loved getting to know them really well and I love that my kids get to have them so close.
His favorite part of his presents was the paper. I am sure that is most kids. Funny how they love the simple things.
Bridger and his construction Cake! Happy Birthday!

Skilling's Family Reuion

This was Jaman's side of the family reuion. It is his mom's side the Skillings. This year the reuion was at West Piney Lodge near Swan Valley. It was absolutely beautiful. We stayed in a huge lodge where everyone had beds. There were showers and everything you could ever imagine doing. Volleyball courts, basketball, baseball, bowling, hiking trails, and the favorite the huge slide which was a blast. We had so much fun and are looking forward to next year. I just need to be in better shape so I will be able to walk two days after the reunion. Lets just say volleyball, kickball, and stairs kicked my butt. It is times like these I realize I am not young and in shape like I was in high school. It makes me sad to think of this.Here is Jasie (Jaman's Sister) Dustin and Bri's kids, Brynn (cayd's finance) and Jaman's Brother Cayd. He is holding Taylor.
Here is Jaman taking little Bridger down the slide. He didn't like it to much. He didn't cry but his stomach would get all tight. Sad I know but this was the fastest way to get down. The stairs down were a pain.
Inside the lodge there was a ping pong table. Here is Jaman and others playing a round of ping pong.
Here is a picture of the slide and how steep it is. LOVED it~

More of Reunion

Here is Bridger playing in the dirt instead of getting in the family photo. He did not want to sit still and loves to play in dirt. I can never keep the boy out of the dirt!

Taylor and I getting ready to go down the big slide. She loved this slide and wanted to go over and over. She was pretty small to go down by herself and it is a long ways to fall if she fell so we took her. Those stairs killed me and I pretty much couldn't walk for tow days after this reunion.

Jaman and I decided to try going down together. Ya it was pretty fun even after Jaman had burns on his legs and I on my elbow. It was funner going down in the dark.

Reasons to Love Summer

Here is our favorite treat in the Summer time. Bridger just loved the fact that I would let him do it all on his own. I actaully loved popcicle time because it gave me a few minutes. The popcicles occupied the kids for a few minutes.

Some Summer Fun

I can't believe this summer is already past and fall is here. We had a very busy summer full of lots of fun outings, family reunions, camping and most of all being together and enjoying the sun. These pictures were at Rigby Lake. We went one day with Jaman's family. It was a lot of fun. We are glad we went. Taylor loved playing in the sand, canoeing, and swimming. She is quite the little fish and loves to play in the water. She has flooded our downstairs bathroom a couple of times. I ALWAYS find her playingin the sink. Here she is enjoying watermelon and cookies. Thanks to Bailee I have pictures of this event. I was the worst this summer at taking pictures. I love to have pictures but sometimes it is nice to not have to worry about a camera and enjoy the day!
Bridger LOVES his Grandpa Brunson. We don't know what it is but he will sit and sit and cuddle with Grandpa Brunson. Of course Jaman's Dad just loves this idea to pieces and gets every chance he can to hold and cuddle Bridger.
