HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Here are Cole and Ali in their costumes

Here are all three kids dressed up for Halloween. Cole was really excited that him and Ty were both skeletons!Here they are with their cousins at the school carnival.
Ali was too busy eating her cupcake to pose for these
here are a couple more... Ty would not look at the camera much.
Cole and Ali with their carved pumpkins. I helped Ali... a few triangles... then we were done.

Chuck looked online with Cole to find a good pumpkin face and was very picky with Coles pumpkin. Luckily Ali is not competitive!
Here is Ali all dressed up. Just put some makeup on her, and she is the happiest girl!

Family pictures

Here a few family pictures my sister took for us while she was visiting. She did such an awesome job! Who needs to pay a professional when you have her around! Thanks Brooke!

Jake and Ty

We were lucky to have my sister Brooke and her baby Jake come and visit last week. Here is a picture of Ty and Jake together. They are already best buddies!

A beautiful fall day

Happy Birthday Aliyah!

I cannot believe our princess Ali is 3 years old! She is the ultimate girly girl, so we decided to throw a princess party. Lucky for us grandma and grandpa were here for the party too. (otherwise it would have been crazy for me to try and do this with a new baby). Here are all the beautiful princesses!
Ali opening her gifts.... lots of fun stuff!
I think she is happy with the all the pink, purple and princess presents!
Her favorite part was the cupcakes and hearing everyone sing to her. She LOVES to be the center of attention!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALIYAH!!!!! You are so loved!

Welcoming Ty Craig Skinner

Ty Craig Skinner

7lbs 4 ounces

19 1/2 inches long








Hes finally here! Everything went so well. I was induced on my due date September 8th and we were lucky to have grandma and grandpa in town to help with the kids. I was started on pitocin at 8am and had Ty at 4:30pm. I was dilated to a 10 at about 4:15, so once it was time to push... it was quick! A small scary part was the cord was around his neck when he came out, but after a few seconds, we heard his first cry. I cannot believe how precious and tiny he is. He is a good baby so far and perfect in every way. I am excited to welcome him to our family. We love you Ty!
