Blue or Brown??

Linkin has brown eyes..

What color eyes will Liv have?? That is the question.

Sweet little girl

Here she is:

The moment we have all waited for:

Liv Adele Skinner

Born October 23 2009

At 3:22 AM

Weighing in at 6lbs 15 oz

Length of 18 1/2 inches

I can't believe she is so small. She fit into preemie diapers in the hospital. The outfit we had for her to go home in, it drown her and it was newborn size. She had a full head of black hair. I thought that was exciting, now I need to learn how to do hair and girly things:)
Linkin was thrilled when we brought her home. He had to hold her right away. Lucas was also very happy to have everybody back together. He spent just the right amount of time with his cousins that he missed me and dad.

Look at those super chucky cheeks. She gets that from me.

Liv has bad Jaundice. We have had her on bililights (pictured) for 3 days now, hopeing that her numbers come down. Everyday we have to go to the lab and get her bilirubin tested. That is where they stab her heel and collect a 1/2 ml of blood. Yeah EVERYDAY since she was born. Not fun for anyone. Other than the jaundice she is healthy and beautiful.

Happy Halloween...

Linkin and Lucas.. I had a blast painting Linkin's face. He was such a good sport even though I thought it might look silly, he loved it.. It turned out pretty good for a first time Vampire Mom.Lucas Iron Man, Linkin the Vampire, Chaiden is a bum and Brinleigh is a hippie. Our little gang. We have went trick or treating with these guys for 3 years. It is always so much fun. We go find the big candybars..

4 YEARS..

Wow!! Aaron we made it.

Now just 79 years to go, Right??

Cookies with Lucas

We had so much fun making sugar cookies. Lucas had his own special dough. He could roll it, eat it really whatever he wanted to do. He decided it would be fun to roll the dough on his tummy. That was hilarious.. He finally finished and we put the cookie in the oven. He couldn't wait for it to be done baking. When the cookie finally cooled. He frosted it. He did a really good job. (Proud mom) He put sprinkles on too. What a blast!

Linkin's 1st day in 2nd grade...

Linkin was so excited for school. He was up by 7:00am, all dressed and ready to go to school. We were informed that he got to ride the bus this year. But he doesn't start riding it until January, when the new Hurricane Elementary is built. He was disappointed but he is still happy that he gets to ride a bus at all.Breakfast of champions. Lucas was just as excited as Linkin. They both had their bags packed and ready to run when I told them it was time.
Walking to the bus stop just to walk back home and get a ride to school.

Here is Linkin ready to get to school.

Lucas and I didn't know what to do now that Linkin was back in school. We played around alot.

We had a great time. We were happy to get Linkin back at 3:30.
