School time

Last day of summer....we went to McDonalds....

And to the drive in movie to see planes.

My beautiful 8th grader.

Handsome 6th grader.

And cute 1st grader.  Will he make it all day ok?

Cute kiddos.

Welcome home Elder Frost and Washington Trip

Tripper had a 2 hour layover in Salt Lake on his way home from Peru so we were able to see him for about 20 minutes at the airport.  Karsten was excited to hold the sign even if it was upside down.

Waiting anxiously....2 years is a very long time!!

In any moment they will run...

And give a great big hug!

Excited to have him back home.

The boys are back!!

Two thumbs up for this missionary!

Daddy holding Kai's hand.  Or I should say pulling because Kai cannot walk fast.

Koby catching green frogs with his friend Nathan.

Playing games in the park.

 Matt and Cam Gentry

Baylee giving Tripper loves.

The three Amigos

Baylee, Kai and Karsten.

Baylee and her Kai Kai :)

The kids with Pia.

We surprised Mikaela's best friend in Washington - Liv.  So fun to see them!

Her other BFF PJ.

With our sweet neighbor Helen Jane Wilson.

The only thing I really wanted to do was hike Multnoma Falls.  We stopped in all the same spots to take pictures.

 Sleepy kids...except for the one with his eyes open.  I have a strange feeling that Kai was awake also.

Karsten was so excited to have his own setup for a movie.  Too bad he kept messing with all the buttons and I had to take it away.

Eating at McDonalds.  Thanks to Pia and her Gift Certificates.

Ending the ride with a very big surprise for Koby.  One of his best friends Nolan was in Utah while we were in Washington so we met up on our drive back so they could give each other hugs.

Skousen Reunion

Matt took a close up picture of Kai's eyes to prove to everyone that they are green. :)

Our cute Karsten took his training wheels off.  He was just like Koby and just did it.  No help at all.  Now he is a pro.

Happy Birthday to mom.  Kai was really sick that night. :(  But I had a great bday thanks to all my family. :)

Skousen family reunion - Making scarfs out of yarn.

Karsten trying to look cool...

Much better.  Apparently I didn't do a good job with the first picture.

Playing Bocce

Uncle Bret always has a kid on his shoulder. :)

Rick and his boys...

One tired boy.

A cougar and T-Bird forever!

Karsten lasted 5 minutes on the way home from the reunion and he was out cold!

Snow cones with neighbors.

Wallsburg 24th of July parade.  Lets be honest - it is only 10 minutes and throw lots of candy.  Definitely our kind of parade! :)

Koby riding the bull.  He actually did really good.

Karsten slid right off when it started to move, but he sure looked cute. :)

Mikaela with her new team.  They took second place in the Utah invitational.  Unfortunately she ended breaking her arm in this tournament.  But she still played because we didn't know.

My  cute boy :)

We bought this house on my B-Day.  We are super excited!  Love the house and the neighborhood.

We found a new favorite Italian Ice store.  YUM!
