Home from Nebraska!

Skyler and I just spent a great week in Nebraska! (All of our photos are posted here!)

We had such a great time seeing everyone! Our trip was very busy and included a trip to the Children's Museum, the Omaha Zoo and a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese!! (So there are lots of pictures on my private site, here.)

I also shot Senior Pictures for a family friend, which you can view a few of here!

And now, I'll shut up and post a few of my favorite photos!

Cousin Jacob at the Omaha Zoo!

I'm 2!!!

Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday For ME!!!!!!!

(Pictures are HERE!)

I had such a fun day, turning 2 is awesome. I got so many fun presents and I got to help Daddy bake brownies for me. Then I got to blow out my own candles and play n the backyard with all my new toys. It was so cool.

4 months old!!

At 4 months old, Skyler was deeply involved in her travels. She got to experience Hershey Chocolate World while we took a break in Pennsylvania. (We were there for the week of Halloween because Daddy had Hernia Surgery, after he found a hernia on the road...) She also got to dress up as the worlds cutest pumpkin - EVER!

3 months old!

Her first trip to New York (Brooklyn), her first "solid" food (if you count baby cereal as solid *lol* ) and lots of smiles!

2 Months Old!!

Now onto Skyler at 2 months old - in my "Almost 2" series! When Skyler was 2 months old, we joined Ryan on the truck! This is the point where my little girl turned into a gypsy. *lol*  Here are a few photos for you to enjoy!

Flashback: 1 month old!

It's so hard to believe that Skyler is almost 2!

At 1 month old, Skyler had so much going on!! I'll just show you the pictures, rather than typing everything out. This was a busy month!!

Grandma Pam and Grandpa Brian came to visit

Then Grandma Pam stayed for two weeks!

While she was here we went on all kinds of adventures! 

To San Isabel and Bishops Castle, To Cripple Creek.

Skyler's first Mountain Adventure!

On July 30, she smiled for the first time!

On  August 5 she lifted her head!

We also spent a fair amount of time getting to know Taylor,

Joe's youngest son who shared a Due Date with Skyler

but was born July 5th!

Then we headed to Nebraska, to help Aunt Katie move into her dorm.

(And also for Great Grandma Jo's Funeral )

This was the first time (and only for some :( ) that we met Mom's Family

And Mom's Good Friend from Germany, Bettina!

Aunt Melissa brought her Kids to Lincoln while we were there too!

And we got to meet Uncle Kevin (and Cousin Jacob) 

Flashback - Almost a month old!

The 4th installment in my "Almost 2" series! (HERE for the rest!)

Weeks 2 - 4 of Skyler's life! (Also the last 2 weeks before Daddy went back to work...)

Skyler meets Great Grandma Sharon!

Meeting Grandma Dianna and Grandpa Brad

With the apple Ryan planted in our backyard 

(That never sprouted a tree :( )

Her first time sleeping in her crib! (Rather than her pack n play which was in the livingroom)

Sticking out her tongue!

And sadly - saying goodbye to Daddy.
