Brinley is 7 Months

7 months and we have gotten MOBILE!!!!!!!! She has been getting up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth for the last week or so.....and today there was bullseye (the horse from toy story) sitting in our living room minding his own business....then Brinley spotted him....she stared him down...got on all fours....rocked once.....twice....and she was gone with her eye on the prize she crawled over to him so quick and gave him a total slobber bath.
She seemed SO pleased with herself...Daddy got her to do it again........it is now operation "baby proof" the house all over again. Because to be honest......she was into everything when she could roll over......it's only goingto get better! :) she is so cute.

She has developed what we lovingly refer to as the "Stink eye"
She also thinks her brother is like the funniest person on earth. Which he probably is :) but it's cute that she thinks so. She laughs at him all the time, even when he's not TRYING to MAKE her laugh :)

She has also out grown her bumbo and is now sitting in her new chair! She loves it, well it's like she knows the second that she's put into it that she is getting something delicious to eat!

You can tell she is developing quite the little personality...and it seems like those big blue eyes just get bigger and brighter every day. she is a joy to have in our little family.

Tyler and Ashley's Wedding

Highlights:
*Condom shopping with Tyler. LOL...so stinking hillarious. They ended up being up at the front of the store in a glass case right in front of a check out line :)...
*Hanging out with the Sisters.


*The Groom's dinner

Where he received the following from his sisters:
-A nightlight from me, because I scared him pretty bad when we were little and just in case they watch a scary movie it will be on hand.
-A harmonica from Jackie, because he hums when he is mad, she thought him and Ashley can have a jam session when they got mad at each other.
-A bunch of pink razors from Dani, because Tyler seemed to like to use her razors all the time.
-And a Calendar from Hannah so he wouldn't forget things that he tends to forget.... :) like birthdays....special holidays and what not.

*The sealing in the Twin Falls temple. I was so so proud of my brother and so excited to have Ashley added to our family for eternity.


*Watching Tyler's eyes get wide when they said it was time for the ring exchange...(luckily we brought it :) lol.


*Visiting with family that I hadn't seen in awhile.



*Oh I almost forgot Ashley's bachelorrette party, where a very mormon stripper (only went down to his undershirt and took off his belt....) made a surprise appearance....Ashley almost cried. It was hillarious. Wish I had a video camera.

*Celebrating Hannah's birthday at TGI Fridays.


*Hotel Hopping

*Catching up with Tyler's old High school and college friends. He had several people who came from very long distances and it was a ball to see them.



*The reception in Boise. They had it in this beautiful little coffee shop, it had Art all over the walls and yummy deserts. Very beautiful.






*Visiting with my Uncle Ben and Aunt Jill and my cute cousins in Salt Lake while waiting for my flight.

All in all, we had a very busy ball of a time. Welcome to the family Ashley!

Cohen is 3!

Oh my my, my little boy is growing up way way WAY to fast. Here are a couple of priceless moments mixed with some pictures of his birthday party with Grandma and Grandpa Skinner as well as Aunt Dani and LaRae.



Cohen was in the kitchen putting the chair up to the counter, so as to reach his "potty treats", I walked in and said "COOOOOOHEN????" he looked at me and said..."Just turn around mom". :)

My sister in law Jody nailed it on the head when she said that he is an orange on a toothpick! lol

Another day we just put Cohen down for a nap, and Jerry was about to close the door but saw something adorable and told me to come take a look, I watched my sweet little boy talking to his Thomas the Train, he gave it a kiss and then tucked it in right next to him. I thought...AWEE he is the cutest kid in the world, I am so lucky, I then walked into the bathroom and found my wedding picture in the toilet.




A couple days later he took a ball point pen to my TAN microfiber couch...., followed by putting my wedding ring inside the couch (there is a hole behind the cushion where he likes to put all of our treasures.) It took me two weeks to find it :). lol. I still think he is the cutest kid in the world and i AM lucky...but shoot.....3 is hard! lol.

A run down of milestones:

I would love to add potty training to this list....and we were doing really well for like a week....and well...he's back to not caring....that is unless it is bed time (when he uses it to stay up for an extra half hour). However he has stopped taking off his clothes and pooping on the floor....yes we went through that every day, twice a day, for 2 weeks. and not just pooping, but then playing in it and getting it all over his clothes and toys (he would only do it at nap or bedtime...AFTER he sat on the potty for 45 minutes. He didn't go a DROP in his diapers so it was NOT an accident) I finally started getting fed up and started giving him cold baths to clean him up. I know it sounds mean, but It only took two and he stopped....sometimes he will tell us and it is very exciting, and sometimes he'll go in his pull-up...but he is NOT going on the floor, I count THAT as a small success I guess. :) baby steps.

He is still such a lover. Loves to snuggle and any hurt feelings or tantrums or scraped knee is cured with 5 minutes of being hugged and loved.

He is quite the negotiater these days the other day he came up and said "mom....watch buzz?(toy story)"

I said Cohen "You already watched a movie today lets go outside and play." He then returned to the movie shelf and picked out 2 different movies and said "mom, wich one? You pick!" :) He's hillarious.


He knows his abc's (has for awhile) but he can also recognize the letters by looking at them now. He also knows all the letter sounds as well.

He gets very very giggly and silly when he is tired.

We think he has an imaginary friend. He'll be in his bedroom by himself and then just start LAUGHING...and then we hear a bunch of toddler babble....we go in and he is staring at the ceiling in bed. It's weird. :)

All in all Cohen is a love bug disguised as Dennis the Menice who loves to laugh and play. He is stubborn and cheeky at times but one look at those big blue curious eyes you can't help but love him...... And I DO love him so so very much.
