Weekend




So here is a little re-cap of last week... Thursday we took Skylee over to the Lehi horse parade and she loved it.. She thought all the little pony's and mini's were babies. It was really cute. Skylee has started to ride Rooster by herself now and she thinks she is pretty hot stuff. Rooster is such an amazing horse and never gets excited and he seems to know when she is on him and he is so patient. So next year Sky will probably be in the parade.


Then Saturday was Josh's 30th birthday we had a little family get together. It was really nice. And then Sunday we rode horses behind my parent house and Skylee went with us. She did really well.
So anyways theres are re-cap of the weekend. Hope everyone has a same and happy 4th of July!!

Growing Up

Skylee sleeping in her "Big bed"

This weekend we decided that Skylee's crib should turn into a toddler bed. She was so excited to sleep in her big bed with her Dora pillow.
The first night she decided to get out of bed and take all the blankets out of her dresser and then when she was bored with that she decided she needed to scoot around her room on her lion scooter.
Well my little baby is growing up everyday.

I thought this pic was so cute!!!

Memorial Weekend


Since saturday it rained most of the time we decided to take Skylee to the The Living Planet Aquarium. I thought it was pretty cool and Skylee liked all the purple fish. The aquarium isn't the biggest but it was still pretty cool.



Then Monday we took her over to the Legacy Center to swim and she loved that. Josh taught her how to plug her nose when she goes under water and she loves to jump in the pool. (Don't worry mom she had her life jacket!).


Other then it being a rainy weekend we had great time together as a family!

Camping at Otter Creek

Mothers Day weekend we went down to OtterCreek in Piute County. It was fun but not the warmest. Skylee loved the 4-wheeling, fishing and Teresa's 8 week old Jack Russell puppy.


Sky also loved the idea of being dirty the whole time. Me on the other hand had a hard time with that. I hate being dirty and having dirty kids!!

Western Nationals



Sunday the whole family went up to watch Rod cut at the Western Nationals. And Skylee Loved it!!


She really wanted grandpa Cowdell to take her over to the cows and let her cut. I think cutting is in the blood. And I think her dad is eventually going to end up buying two High Brow Cat cutting horses!! One for Skylee and one for mom!!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!! This weekend has been fun and busy. Saturday Josh and I ran a 5k we both came in the top 30. Josh ran 27.30 and I ran 27.49 I was pretty happy with that. Then I came home and made Easter bunny cakes for Josh and Skylee. While I was doing that Josh was finishing up on the Chateau (playhouse) for Sky. It's pretty much finished. I'm just finishing making a plaque for it and the it will be done!! Then I have been pleading with Josh to harrow my riding arena all spring so finally dad and Skylee did that for mom!! Yeah I can finally exercise my horses in the backyard!!!

2yr check-up

Today we had Skylee's 2 year check up. She is a whopping 25lbs and 33.75 inches tall!
She is in the 25% range in weight and 50% in height. So basically she is small.
Everything else she right on track for her age. She had only one shot this time and all she did was whimper. But she did throw a huge 2 year old fit when we had to leave the books at the doctors office. I asked the doctor how long does the terrible two's last for, and he chuckled and said about 18years!! 2 years down 16 more to go!!

Skylee's Birthday Party


I love this pic. She looks so little next to her gift!!

Dad and Skylee

Skylee loves dump trucks and equipment. She is like her dad!!


Sunday was Skylee's Birthday. All of her grandma's, grandpa's, Great Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends all showed up for her birthday!!
She was SPOILED!! She got a ton of cute summer outfits, Barbie (she is not into at all), trucks, play shoes (she is always wearing my shoes.),jewelry, sand box, sandtoys and a cute playhouse. (I will post a pic of her new playhouse as soon as dad is finished building it!)
We had a cute farm theme for her party. She loves animals and so she picked that one out. It turned out super cute!
