Campin'

We went to Logan canyon with my mom and Patrick and went camping for the weekend. We had a complete blast and didn't want to come home. The girls loved going with Grandma to ride the horses. Thanks mom for taking them they had so much fun. Randy and I went on a 4-wheeler ride with KortLyn and she thought that was so much fun. Her helmet kept hanging down over her eyes so she couldn't see anything, but she was a trooper and could have cared less. We had a great time with you guys! Thanks for inviting us!

Welcome to the Skinner Family

So here is the newest additions to our family...... Sallie and Little Bella. I am not so sure if they are lambs or dogs though. Bella just sits on the front portch or the steps in the garage, and waits for the girls to come out and play with her, or give her some much needed attention. One day we were in playing on the computer, and all of the sudden we heard a loud noise, we looked up and noticed that Bella was at the window with her paws up on the window pawing it to get our attention. I am not so sure that I was overexcited about it, but I couldn't get to mad because I had to admit that I thought it was pretty cute myself.
So on to Bella's name...... we all were trying to decide on a name for her and Randy, KodiAnn, McKesson and MaKayja had decided on Sallie. I just thought that Sallie didn't fit a black lamb to well and I fussed and kept saying "no Bella." No one liked it so..... I said "okay girls if we name her Bella and we get a boy next time we can name him Edward" (ya know Twilight) anyways they all thought that was pretty cool and agreed. Well about a week later Randy brings home the little white lamb and of course it was a girl, so we had to think of another name for her so I gave in and decided that Sallie was just fine for her. Maybe Edward will appear someday and sweep our little Bella off of her feet.

The Bed or the Treadmill for Nap Time?


Rub a Dub Dub in the Tub

KortLyn loves the tub and gets so excited when she hears the tub water running. She loves to play and splash and of course drink the nasty dirty water.

Let's Play Some Ball....



This was KodiAnn's first year to play fast pitch softball and she absolutely loved it. She also got picked to be on the softball All Star Team and had a blast doing that. She has improved so much this year and we are so proud of her. Good job YanDre!!!!!

4th of July Fun!!!!


Every year we get together with my family, Stacy's family and friends to watch the fireworks in Logan. We have a ton of fun!!!!! The kids laugh hard and play hard. This year we had gone up camping with my mom and Patrick and just had to come down for the fireworks, since last year Randy and I missed them. So here we all are. Stac thanks so much for all of the good memories and putting this together every year, the 4th wouldn't be the same without ya.

Batter - Batter Swing


MaKayja did really well this year in coach pitch considering this was her first year without the T. She had a ton of fun and enjoyed every second of it. You go girl!

Nice Pants....



MaKayja and McKesson can be so silly sometimes. The other night they walked out and had Randy's pants on and were just a giggling. Randy said "nice girls and just looked at me and smiled. Then the girls turned around and said "Dad you like our Butts?" We started to laugh and thought that was so cute.

Walking - well kinda with some much needed help!

Piano Recital


KodiAnn and MaKayja had a piano recital and did a great job. This was MaKayja's 1st recital. She was a little nervous but she did an awesome job. I am very proud of her and I love to listen to her learn more and more every day. KodiAnn did a great job and just played her song with no fear at all (of course she is getting more and more used to it by now). I am also proud of her and so thankful for her comitment to playing and practicing the piano.
