I KNOW many people think we are CRAZY for having another child with Mark in school and life just being so CRAZY right now. It seems like when I do tell someone oh we are having another baby I get the look like are you crazy?? or people have said you are having another kid while you continue to go through so much with Weston?? and my answer is YES and I am SOOO EXCITED. For anyone that knows me knows I LOVE babies I mean I really LOVE babies. Growing up if there was a baby around I just wanted to sit and hold the baby. I have always wanted 4 kids close in age! We found out last week we are having another BOY! I was secretly wanting it to be a BOY. Growing up I was the baby and the only girl, I loved everything about it and I really wanted my Ms. Graycee to go thru her life the way that I did being the only girl! We took Graycee and my mom with us to the doc. apt last week to find out what we were having, having my mom there in case Graycee had Major meltdown if the doc. told us it was a boy because all along Graycee has been praying for a little sister and she would come up to my stomach and say good morning sister! I would tell her Honey that is so sweet but it may be a BOY! she would look at me like I was just crazy. So when the doc did in fact tell us it was a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333ff;">BOY,</span> Graycee looked at my mom and started to do the SIGN for <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#ff99ff;">GIRL</span>. Lets just say Graycee wasn't very happy. After we left the doc apt. we went to lunch and I told her all the GREAT things about being the only girl. So we are happy to announce we are having another <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333ff;">BOY</span> he is due in AUG. </b><div><b>If you know me you know I LOVE family names and I love having there name picked out before they are born, So with that said I HAVE picked out a family Name and a GREAT family name in fact! Let's just say this baby boy will have BIG shoes to fill:} I feel like the baby boys name needs its very own post!</b></div>Skousen Family!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06778919487079764036noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982820336669910841.post-21200293292268642402012-02-07T11:51:00.000-08:002012-02-07T12:23:49.490-08:00Family Home Evening Skousen style...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpy_onzddn_ToaFGUmWe8UDxVy9uUErnOKhl6QT6-Dzx6QwQI8hOZylEWBZlOtozspbpYX3xlRVy31Fl8m1VztRia0zaHvgw9l365DdyXknxL9NeZgxc-C8IEq1jbGOKogOUpQtebLcsg/s1600/DSC_1040.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpy_onzddn_ToaFGUmWe8UDxVy9uUErnOKhl6QT6-Dzx6QwQI8hOZylEWBZlOtozspbpYX3xlRVy31Fl8m1VztRia0zaHvgw9l365DdyXknxL9NeZgxc-C8IEq1jbGOKogOUpQtebLcsg/s320/DSC_1040.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706491572187428658" /></a><br />Last night we held our weekly <b>Family Home Evening</b>, its a time where we set aside time to do <b>SOMETHING</b> as a family. In church our Bishop has asked us to try really hard to do this with each of our families. In my <b>FAKE</b> world I would love for it to run smoothly something like this, start with prayer, sing a song give a <b>LESSON</b> to the kids on something <b>ANYTHING!</b> go around ask them what there favorite thing was they did that day. End the night with a nice treat, read books, we say are night time prayers kids give us loves and they <b>BOTH</b> go off to <b>ZZZ</b> land.<div><br /></div><div>well are night went something like this my parents came and had dinner with us, this is one reason I LOVE them living so close, I cleaned up dinner my mom gave them baths and then the fun starts. Ryker being a <b>TRUE</b> Boy is running around the house wont get his PJ's on finally I got some underwear on him. My parents leave I tell the kids to come sit down I have a story to tell them. Finally asking about 100 times they come sit down, Graycee and Ryker start fighting so I changed up the plans I said tonight for FHE we are going to do a talent show. Graycee starts it off with a nice dance session to Michael Jackson. Ryker gets up remember he is only in his underwear and does some of his dance moves. Weston starts to dance with him and Graycee goes into major melt down so we ended the night by breaking up there fight and them saying we were sorry for hitting and having them go straight to bed. Mark had to go in about 50 times and tell them stop doing this stop doing that and just <b>GO TO BED!!!</b> Mark and I end the night by having a nice bowl of ice cream and helping him study for his test coming up I know our life is <b>CRAZY</b> but its my life and I LOVE it! I love being home with my kids well most of the days...</div><div> I am <b>EXCITED</b> for what this year brings us.<br /><div><br /></div><div> </div></div>Skousen Family!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06778919487079764036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982820336669910841.post-60908103168943144862012-01-31T07:36:00.000-08:002012-01-31T07:49:33.372-08:00my baby is two.HAPPY BIRTHDAY COWBOY!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDkwsuPGH4xPfVgQcbbGqZRxk3xt78nagyGOr6sNPaXgz8DTriCyZsdJdfAXyShFH3FRiDds3o52Hj5ifLy5khRJiPm0WwS56qGoV4mUn0CG83yykN_0Zd6o9dAmO-lpTtE4tRuZ59FA/s1600/DSC_0107.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDkwsuPGH4xPfVgQcbbGqZRxk3xt78nagyGOr6sNPaXgz8DTriCyZsdJdfAXyShFH3FRiDds3o52Hj5ifLy5khRJiPm0WwS56qGoV4mUn0CG83yykN_0Zd6o9dAmO-lpTtE4tRuZ59FA/s320/DSC_0107.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703823503032679906" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbLHzKagwkC6TGtBEs_dDHvsq8WDQJt5-QxvFotcHiSHhLRpVR3SoMiM42geYQOpJ_HX-YgdbHD545zqlGuvzOTg_Cz5ziy-pt_7vnEDbs46-hzgOHWn3K3t1CsJqe8epIIBEnxgnj4zw/s1600/DSC_0253.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbLHzKagwkC6TGtBEs_dDHvsq8WDQJt5-QxvFotcHiSHhLRpVR3SoMiM42geYQOpJ_HX-YgdbHD545zqlGuvzOTg_Cz5ziy-pt_7vnEDbs46-hzgOHWn3K3t1CsJqe8epIIBEnxgnj4zw/s320/DSC_0253.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703823494907191858" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAlwcRa9n7PEeQsqZMttPJwytkmNPBTZT9n_PxcwqhgFArVjFgcQP0uamVLItvACzq5qZ5zh1OyNlk4UMoQ26l8fLsNSi4T0bbAMNYfa9HnB-2KldZThdtsZfHrUq_rmyzjx61XHtV8fY/s1600/DSC_0248.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAlwcRa9n7PEeQsqZMttPJwytkmNPBTZT9n_PxcwqhgFArVjFgcQP0uamVLItvACzq5qZ5zh1OyNlk4UMoQ26l8fLsNSi4T0bbAMNYfa9HnB-2KldZThdtsZfHrUq_rmyzjx61XHtV8fY/s320/DSC_0248.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703823489957476402" /></a><br />It is hard to believe that Weston is two.

Here is a perfect example of a beautiful lady {Stephanie Nielson} who radiated even before her accident but has become even more impressive since. Oh that we could all remember and appreciate her message every day of our lives. Her example is one of tender mercies, not only to her but for all of us that benefit from her example.

Once when he was one moth old and then a couple weeks ago,I was suppose to go to Utah with my SIL and her friend and a friend of mine, well lets just say my friend dogged out on me so I wasn't looking forward to being the 3rd wheel I KNOW my SIL wouldn't make it like that but still I was BUGGED! But then Poor little Weston gets sick and not breathing so GREAT so I spend my Utah days in the hospital with him. FUNNY how thing turn out, The staff there is AWESOME! I have to give a HUGE shout out to the nurse's that took care of my sweet boy. And a HUGE shout out to my friend Veronica the hospital is named after her dad and family:} Lets just say If my BABES need to go to the hospital that is where we will go.</div><div><br /></div><div> Things are looking better for him he is breathing better now, still getting treatments every night and not throwing up all his feedings. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> I AM GRATeful For my mother in law and Mom and Kami who helped out with the other kids so Weston didn't have to be alone down there. I am freakish about leaving my kids alone in the hospital. I mean I wont even go get something to eat unless my mom or Mark was in the room with him. </div><div> </div><div> He will be 4 months on the 28th of this month and he is a BIG 11 pounds.. So we are working on the weight.</div><div><br /></div><div> We are ready for the DARK cloud to leave our family. </div><div>May 12th my dad became CANCER FREE... </div><div> Our family has gone through a lot the last couple months but you know I wouldn't change it well yes I would I WISH uncle Norman was still here. I miss him so bad:{ Me and the kids went to my cousin Birthday Party {Milo} Norman's little boy and it was a party at there house, as we pulled up I just started to cry because It wasn't right us being there and Uncle Norm not there. </div><div> But his passing has brought our family very close and I am so grateful for that.</div><div><br /></div><div>So I am Hoping May 12 2010 was a start of a new chapter for us, a chapter of GOOD things:}</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>Skousen Family!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06778919487079764036noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982820336669910841.post-11894406636048769202010-05-07T13:46:00.000-07:002010-05-07T14:21:13.110-07:00Life is GOOD....

Does it happen all the time NO,But we sure TRY!</div><div><br /></div><div>This Monday was nothing special got up ate gave the 3 babes bathes and just enjoyed are time with daddy before he had to leave. The time came he had to leave we said are goodbyes and daddy got a THOUSAND kisses before he walked out the door! We like to kiss daddy a lot just in case while he is sitting in class he forgets how much we LOVE him he can remember all the kisses he got before he left.</div><div><br /></div><div> He leaves I go into change diapers and about 2 seconds later Mark comes in and say"Annie are you dressed?" I said Yes why? Because your dad is here and would like to talk with us. </div><div><br /></div><div> I come out to the family room and my dad and Mark are standing there My dad goes on to tell us He has been going to the doc. for the last couple weeks having his PSA numbers watched, He goes on to tell us they think he may have prostate cancer. I was SHOCKED! I just started crying and I mean crying hard,poor Graycee is looking up at us and says,Daddy why is mommy and Papa crying?? he told us what the next steps were. He was going that wed. to have some tests done to see if it was Cancer, well sure enough on Friday we found out that it is Cancer. </div><div> </div><div> He goes in this wed. to have a full body scan done, This will tell us if it has left the prostate and from here they will make a game plan of what to do. The GOOD thing is this kind of Cancer is very treat able if it is still in the prostate. We are hoping they caught it early enough. Thank goodness he has yearly check ups with the fire dept. </div><div><br /></div><div><div>My mind is going CRAZY.. Just like I am in a NIGHTMARE and I am waiting for someone to wake me up.</div><div><br /></div><div> To me my dad is SUPERMAN I thought Superman never got sick?? </div><div> I do know that what ever the outcome is we WILL GET THRU it! </div><div><br /></div><div> Here is a poem I found on a blog that a girl wrote for her dad and when I read it awhile ago I just started to cry because this is how I feel about my dad.. and my HERO he will always be.... </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoBodyText"><b><span class="Apple-style-span"

Dr. D was very happy that we have made it this far with you! If I make it to my next Dr. Appointment he is going to strip my membranes, and that should help get things going! I have been having contractions all night off and on and today I am cleaning our house like a MAD WOMAN!
