My baby is turning 10!


Wow, where have the last 10 years gone? Seriously, It seems like I just found out I was expecting him. 
The past ten years has been filled with fun and excitement.
Skyler is very funny and is making us laugh all the time.
He is a very sensitive little guy. Sensitive to not only his feelings, but those around him too. 
He loves  being an uncle to Mia and Emmett. 
He is a good friend, and informed me the other day, that "I don't play with friends anymore, we hang out. Playing is for younger grades, fourth graders hang out" 
He is having fun with his dad and their hunting trips. He took hunters safety this past year, and goes target shooting. He is my sweetheart! I truly feel he was saved to come to our family at this time. He is a ray of sunshine in our crazy life.   Skyler, you are such a blessing in our lives, Love ya!

What a handsome guy! 
 I'm his favorite!

Once again, it was time to have our family pictures taken. It seems like we just had them done, but It was a year and a half ago, and our family is growing so here are some of the pictures.
They were taken up South Fork, Provo Canyon by my niece Alyssa. The hard part now, is deciding which ones to enlarge. any input would be appreciated.

Family Vacation

We decided about a year ago, that we wanted to take the family to Disneyland for Fall Break.
We headed south in three cars. Most of us stayed with my sister Diane in San Marcos that first night, while Nicole and family stayed with Chaz's grandma just up the road.
Thursday we left Di's and headed to the beach at Dana Point by San Juan Capistrano which is south of Anaheim. We had our hotel there. Friday and Saturday were filled with California adventure, and then DisneyLand.
We had so much fun being together. Just sitting around at restaurants, the beach and the parks. Hopefully some good memories were created for my kids. I know I had a great time, and pretty sure they all did too!
Here are just a few of the hundreds of photos taken this past week.

The park was all decorated for Halloween, it was fun to be there to see it.
My whole family at the end of a very long few days.
Disneyland was extremely crowded, but thanks to fast passes, and the rider swap passes, our longest wait was about 40 minutes for the haunted mansion. The fast passes are the only way to do Disneyland. Some of the wait time was 75 minutes but on those rides, we waited maybe 10 minutes thanks to the fast passes.
A trip well worth every penny spent!
