Exciting week for some Skousen kids...

Brant lost his first tooth this week! We didn't even know it was loose. He told me his tooth hurt so I looked at it and it was loose then like an hour later it had fallen out and he didn't even know where it was. Him and his big brother wrote a note to the tooth fairy explaining what happened in hopes of still getting some money :) Yes, he only lost one tooth (on the bottom). Sure looks like two missing!


Then today little Miss Brynlee took her first steps! I tried to get some pictures and video of her but waited too late and she was so tired so I'll have to try again tomorrow...

Happy 3rd Birthday Kayleigh!

It's not very often we have actual birthday parties but Kayleigh's made lots of new friends this past year and a half so I thought we should have a party. She had such a fun time with everyone and still talks about it. Kayleigh is a fun, crazy little thing and we just love her to death!

Fall Break

 
We had a fun break! Sorry, but I love the collage option cause I can't ever just pick a few pictures. Went to the zoo with friends, Jump Street with family, played at Chandler Mall, and I think there was more, just can't remember. That's how my brain works.....

Our little dancers

 
I was given this tiny leotard and so we just had to dress up and take pictures!

Didn't Snow White learn the first time??

Happy 5th Birthday Brant!

So, Brant came into this world really fast and hasn't hardly slowed down since. He's definitely the one that has tried every bit of patience that I could possibly have but has also been the sweetest thing ever! Usually everyone sees a crazy little boy but he has got some wonderful qualities that I wish people could see more. I think his camel eyelashes and cheesy smile always gets me too. Brant will be anyone and everyone's friend, is great at sharing, listening, and really does try to do good. Oh, and he always has something funny to say :)He's going to Kindergarten next year and I sure hope the world is ready for him! We love you Brant!

Happy 7th Birthday Kaden!

 
Can't believe it's been seven years since we had our first little guy. So much has happened since then and he's been through it all with us. On one of his birthdays I ended up sick and couldn't hardly get out of bed, just enough to make his cake. We didn't even have his presents yet. Well, he took care of ME that day and never complained that he wasn't having a party. Just shows what kind of a person he is.....when he's not harassing his brother and sister, or toilet papering his room, or inscribing names into the wall, etc....
He's the one I can count on to help me out when no one else will! We love you Kaden!

I know....it's a lot of pictures :)

If you know me really good, then you know it's REALLY
hard for me to make decisions. So, I just made a collage
then I didn't have to choose just a few!
Thanks again Jennifer!

Some pictures of the baby finally...

Love those smiles when they dream...

1st day at church

so sweet and is so peaceful amongst

the craziness of her brothers and

sister....
