4 MONTHS OLD

SKYLER IS GROWING SO FAST.....ALMOST TOO FAST. I MISS HIM BEING A LITTLE BABY AND CUDDLING ALL THE TIME. HE WILL SOMETIMES STILL SNUGGLE WITH ME AT NIGHT. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS 4 MONTHS OLD. THIS IS WHAT HE HAS BEEN UP TO LATELY: SMILES ALL THE TIME, ALMOST IS LAUGHING, WATCHES EVERY MOVE I MAKE, BEING A MOMMA'S BOY, EATING ALOT, ONLY NAPPING 30 MINUTES AT A TIME ( IT USED TO BE AT LEAST 2-3 HOURS AT A TIME) GRASPING HIS TOYS, TEETHING (POOR GUY),

BONDING WITH BUNK

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE MANY GREAT EXAMPLES IN MY LIFE. FIRST OF ALL MY HUSBAND MAX. HE IS SUCH AN AMAZING FATHER TO SKYLER. YOU TRUELY NEVER SEE EVERY SIDE OF A PERSON UNTIL YOU SEE THEM WITH THEIR OWN CHILD. I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD LOVE MAX ANYMORE BUT WATCHING HIM WITH SKYLER JUST MELTS MY HEART. AS SOON AS HE WALKS IN FROM WORK HE WANTS TO HOLD HIM. HE IS SUCH A HANDS ON DAD AND I KNOW SKYLER IS GOING TO LEARN SO MUCH FROM HIM AS HE GETS OLDER. MAX IS ALSO A WONDERFUL HUSBAND. HE IS EASY GOING AND HAS TO CALM ME DOWN WHEN I GET UP-TIGHT. (THIS HAPPENS QUIT OFTEN) HE WORKS SO HARD SO THAT I AM ABLE TO STAY HOME WITH SKYLER. WE DONT KNOW WHAT WE WOULD DO WITHOUT HIM. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY MAX. HOPE YOUR FIRST ONE WAS A GREAT ONE. WE LOVE YOU!

NEXT IS MY FATHER-IN-LAW LYNN. HE IS SUCH A FUN LOVING GUY AND ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL PART OF THE FAMILY. HE CAN ALWAYS PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE OR GET YOU LAUGHING. HE HAS PASSED DOWN SO MANY GOOD QUALITIES TO MAX. FOR EXAMPLE: BEING A GENTLEMEN, HANDY MAN, EASY GOING AND A HARD WORKER. I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO BE HIS DAUGHTER-IN-LAW. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY LYNN. WE LOVE YOU!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS MY OWN DAD.
I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS LITTLE RIDING THE FOUR-WHEELER WITH HIM. HE TOOK ME EVERYWHERE....TO THE FARM, TO LOGAN, GOLFING, AND EVEN FISHING WITH HIM AND GRANDPA MAUGHAN. I WILL NEVER FORGET ALL THE MEMORIES . HE HAS TAUGHT ME HOW TO MANAGE MONEY, BE A HARD WORKER, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, HAVE LOVE FOR OTHERS, HOW TO GOLF AND MANY MORE. MY DAD LEARNED SO MANY OF HIS GREAT QUALITIES FROM HIS DAD GENE. HE WAS SUCH A GREAT GRANDPA AND I MISS HIM MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD. WE LOVE YOU

3 MONTH PICTURES

My cousin Mandy Hoth took these wonderful pictures of Skyler. She did such an amazing job. Just a warning this is a VERY LONG blog of pictures of Skyler. I am having the hardest time trying to pick a few to blow up and hang in our house because I love them all. With the help of Nan, my mom and sister we were able to get a few of him smiling. After a few hours he finally gave up and just fell asleep. We all had such a fun time hanging out together last week. Let me know if any of you want her number. She is so great with kids and babies!!! Love you Mandy and Thanks for all the adorable pictures of Skyler.

SKYLER WAS SUCH A TROOPER WITH OUR TRAVELS TO UTAH. ON THE WAY THERE WE ONLY HAD TO STOP ONCE. ON THE WAY BACK IT WAS TWICE. HE IS SUCH A GREAT BABY AND SLEPT MOST THE TIME. WE HAD SUCH A BUSY WEEK MEETING FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WE HAVE HAD QUIT A BIT OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE BABIES THIS YEAR. IT WAS FUN TO SEE THEM ALL AND HOW MUCH THEY HAVE GROWN. ( WE WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE BABY COZY AND LITTLE NICO)

MY SISTER WAS ABLE TO SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH US AT MY PARENTS. HER KIDS JUST ADORED SKYLER. WE GOT A CUTE VIDEO OF AUSTIN SINGING AND ROCKING SKYLER TO SLEEP. IT'S ADORABLE. THEY WERE ALL SUCH A GREAT HELP. HER AND MY MOM WERE CONSTANTLY FIGHTING OVER WHO GOT TO HOLD SKYLER. MY DAD WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO WATCH BUNK.
THE HAMMOND'S AND MILLER'S HAD FAMILY PARTIES WHILE WE WERE THERE. ITS NICE TO CATCH EVERYONE AT ONE PLACE INSTEAD OF RUNNING FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE. SKYLER DIDNT SPEND ONE MINUTE NOT BEING HELD. DEB AND MIKAH WERE ALWAYS FIGHTING TO HOLD HIM.

MY COUSIN MANDY IS STARTING A PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS AND WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF SKYLER. SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB. AS SOON AS I LOAD THEM ALL ON THE COMPUTER I WILL SHOW YOU JUST HOW GREAT SHE IS.

IT WAS SUCH A BUSY/CRAZY WEEK. SORRY IF WE MISSED ANYONE BUT WE WILL BE BACK UP FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THEN
