Sunny Days with Skyler

You Are My Sunshine

I love this kid!! She's learned the whole first two verses of "You Are my Sunshine"

You are my sunshine, My only sunshine
You make me happy when the skies are grey
You'll never know dear, How much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dea,r as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken
And I held my head and cried

But, she doesn't like how sad it is. So she re-wrote it and has been singing it CONSTANTLY since then...
You are my sunshine, My only sunshine
You make me happy when the skies are grey
You'll never know dear, How much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke dear, there was my girlfriend
And I held my head down with happiness

A Skylerism

Skyler just asked for "ChickenFish" for her snack - I was confused. She wants an Easter Peep and goldfish crackers. LOL

A Trip to the Family Farm

I'm very late in posting this, about six months to be exact... But I'm finally getting there; that's what counts. Right?

In March of 2010 we went to Crawford Nebraska (where my Grandpa John was from) to celebrate the 100th Birthday of my Great Grandma Alice. It was a great trip, and as you can tell from the picture on the left? She was in excellent health for being 100! (Photos from the whole trip are in this album.)

Unfortunately, on October 27, 2011 Grandma Alice passed away. So the whole family made the trip back to Crawford for her Funeral. It was a nice service and a nice chance to see many people from my mom's family (particularly those who live in California.)

We also took the chance to make a trip out to the old family farm - Homesteaded in Belmont Nebraska (just outside of Crawford) where my Grandfather had grown up. We also drove through Fort Robinson, and Smiley Canyon! So I thought I'd share some of our photos from the trip. You can view the full album, if you'd like.
