A Week With Daddy

Skyler and I just dropped Ryan off at the truck, he's back on the road for another 4 or 5 weeks.

We had a great time with him home! We played in the snow, went to the park, and had countless tea parties!

I'm Cleaning Because Daddy's Coming Home!!

123/365

Hi Guys! 

I just finished sweeping the kitchen floor, now Mommy got this funny looking broom out. she says it's a mop, and that I can't go in the kitchen because the floor is wet.

We've been getting ready for Daddy to come home! So the kitchen is clean, and yesterday I helped wash the laundry.

Mommy said if I'm nice while we run a few errands this afternoon we can go to the park too! (It's so warm outside that I don't need a coat.)

I don't mind all of this work that we are doing, because it means that Daddy is coming home! Mom even said we could bake him cookies. (I like cookies, because Mom lets me eat them when they cool with a cup full of milk. ) 

I should go, I need to start putting my toys away. But I thought I'd show you the silly pictures Mommy got while I was cleaning!


The Calm Before The Storm

Since we've had such a cold and snowy day today (and it looks like we'll be having more of the same tomorrow) so I thought I'd share with you a few snaps that Skyler and I got in the other day! We had such a beautiful, warm day on  Thursday so Skyler and I went for a walk and then spent a full hour playing at the park!

Happy St Patty's Day!

Spring is in the Air

With the weather warming up (60*+ for the last two days!) we have been spending lots of time at the park! (Skyler has even overcome her fear of the slides!!) So I thought I'd share a few picture from yesterday (pigtails) and today (striped shirt) at the parks.

















A Great Big Birthday Weekend!



Hello everybody! It's Skyler again!

Mommy is reading a book, so I thought I would write you a letter here so that she can keep relaxing. She had a really REALLY long weekend. She had to drive all the way to Crawford Nebraska and back.

And while we were there she turned really old. (She is 27.) But she is not as old as my Great-Great-Grandma! She turned 100 last Friday. (That's 99 years older than me! That's a long time.)

On the drive to Nebraska we had really yucky weather. I even got to play in the snow in Cheyenne Wyoming! And then it was really foggy for a lot of the drive. I couldn't even see all of the cows in the farms. But we sang "Old McDonald" about a hundred times anyway! (I really like that song, because the cow goes "Moo!" and I can say "Moo" really good.)



Then we got to spend the night in Chadron. We shared a hotel room with my Aunt Katie, even though she snores and talks in her sleep. And before bed, my Aunt Sue in California sent a cake all the way from California for Mommy's birthday! It was a yummy cake with raspberry inside, and I made a big mess with it.



We spent all day on Saturday at a BIG birthday party. There were lots of people there, and a few older kids for me to chase around. I even got a balloon! (See the picture up top? I got to keep the pink balloon and bring it home with me!)

Grandma Alice had a great party, with lots of friends and family there! (Mommy took a lot of pictures, you can see them in a show below or if you click HERE it will show you the website with all of her pictures from the weekend.)



Before we came all the way home, we went to visit this silly place called Carhenge. They had a lot of cars buried into the ground.

I thought it would be fun to run around the cars, but it was really cold and muddy. So my Mommy wouldn't let me run around. But it was fun to see! And Aunt Katie posed for some silly photos too!

The drive home wasn't quick enough. I was so tired when we got home I went straight to bed. But it was a really fun weekend.
