A Little Fun

Here's a few video clips of a few things we've been doing. The first little clip is sideways. That'll teach us to turn the camera! Oh well, you still get the drift! Logan is getting so big and so much fun. Enjoy!!!

Projects!

So before we started back with real life we had a few projects we wanted to get done. The first was the shed. Andy and Michele flew up for a few days and Seth and Andy had it up in no time. It was pretty funny to watch them work! They made a good team! According to Seth, Andy is "handier than pockets on a shirt!" Thanks so much Petersons for all your help! You guys are great!

The other project we had was moving Logan to a big boy bed. We found a dresser big enough for both kids with a changing table on it and a bed on Craigslist for pretty cheap. They were pretty banged up so Seth and I sanded and painted them. Logan absolutely loves his bed! He and I moved it up and arranged the room while Seth was at school one day. When Seth got home I told Logan to show his dad his new bed. Logan took Seth's hand and led him up the stairs and crawled onto his bed with big smiles. He's doing really well with it. He only fell off once that we know of the first night. Our battle now it that at night we leave our door open and he comes into our room at random hours wanting to sleep with us. Hopefully before his sister comes we'll have that one taken care of!!! We took the gate down at the top of the stairs as well. We feel like our baby is now a little boy but he is sooooo much fun. He thinks he's pretty funny and everyday is more and more like his dad! Guess its a good thing we like him too huh!!!

Summer Break

As the lazy days of summer come to an end we approach the beginning of a new school year with hesitation and anticipation. We have loved having time together but we are so excited to start another year (one closer to being done).

As I mentioned before, Logan began the break with a busted arm. It didn't slow him down any. He still ran, played, fell, laughed and did all of the things little boys do. While in Arizona he caught a frog, found a worm, cut a molar and played and played with grandparents and cousins. He had a blast having someone other than mom and dad to follow around. We spent a weekend on Mt. Graham at the cabin with our friends and that was a blast! It was so fun to see everyone and play horseshoes in the mud (it rained half the time we were there). Seth, Curtis, Vanessa and myself hiked Soldier Rock (not recommended for out of shape pregnant girls) and took some cool pictures. The boys all hiked up the mountain the night before and Seth's dad and Jonathan and Casey went up and rode horses down to meet them. Somehow Seth banged up his knee and limped the rest of the time in Arizona.

We are now 24 weeks along with this little girl and anxiously anticipating the arrival. We have discussed some name possibilities but want to wait and see what she looks like. She's getting more active and Logan will even "kiss the baby" now. We are currently Craig's Listing a new dresser so we can put both kids in the same room and have a place for all their stuff. It is starting to seem more real now and we are getting really excited.

When we came home we had a day to get ready for some real fun. Andy, Michele, Beckie and Brittlee came up for five days. The boys built a shed in the back yard and we girls shopped and played. It was so much fun to have them here! I'm pretty sure everyone had a blast. We were sad to see the five days come and go so quickly.

Things are going well. Getting back into the swing of life before school starts next week for Seth. I'm wrapping up another set of classes and will start two more soon. We miss everyone so much and were so glad to see those we did. Next trip to Arizona will be at Christmas with two kids! AHHHHH! Wish us luck!

Just A Few New Things

So, we are in Arizona and loving it. Seth took his boards and we are so grateful they are OVER! We should know results in a few weeks. The night before boards brought some excitement. Logan and Seth we playing hide and seek and Logan started to crawl back to Seth and I went to stand him back up and heard a pop. So we ended up in the ER with him and they said it wasn't broke but jammed. So, he was splinted and put in a sling for two weeks. Needless to say he has no more trouble wanting to crawl. We only walk now!

Now, the Monday before we left for Arizona we had our ultrasound. Everything looks great with the baby. SHE is growing perfectly and is already sucking her fingers too! That's right...we are having a GIRL! Woohoo! I am no longer out-numbered in our little family. Seth says our family is now complete and we are done (smile). I told him if this kid looks and acts just like him too than we aren't quitting until we get one that is like me! Anyway, we are so excited!

I'll post some pictures of the busted arm and our trip when we get home! Hope everyone is doing great!

To Answer A Few Questions...

So, we have gotten some emails asking questions that I am assuming everyone knows the answer to. However, we all know what happens when you assume so I'll go ahead and give a quick run down before you move on to the real reason you are checking out the blog in the first place (Logan).

I mentioned that I am in school full time as well as Seth. I am taking online classes through Grand Canyon University. The goal is for me to complete my MBA by the time (or shortly after) Seth graduates. Our timing couldn't have been better with the new baby coming (smile) but we decided if I'm going to finish school now is the time and this is the way. I am really liking it even though I feel like I'm always catching up!

Seth takes his boards test on Thursday! Woohoo! It has been a stressful couple of months for him so when boards are over on Thursday and all finals complete the following Tuesday we are outta here! There is some bright shining light during this next week however and that is we get to find out what we are having a week from today!

Okay, now that ya'll have a general idea on what life is like in the Skinner household sit back and enjoy the rest of your day! ;)
