Our Kobes is 10 years old!

Breakfast in Bed - normally it is a really nice breakfast but since I don't buy much sugar cereal he wanted Fruity Pebbles. :)

I love how excited Koby gets for everything...

He loves Lego's so he got a new Lego watch.

The best gift was his new BMX Bike!


Our Birthday Boy!

These are the boys from our ward.  We don't usually do B-day parties, but we took them to space camp for scouts so we decided to make a party out of it.

Koby wanted a soccer cake.


I got to watch their mission on a TV.  This was a very cool thing to get to do.

Everybody had an important part to complete the mission.  They did not die and they were all very excited!!

At dinner with G&G Skousen.

Koby loves to collect things.  Now it is the State Quarters.

Lastly he got a ripstik.  Mikaela looks just as excited in the back.

Now she doesn't.  But Koby does and that is all that matter! :)
Happy Birthday to our cute Koby.  What we do without you.  Koby is such a happy boy and tries so hard to be good.  Each year we deal with less issues, but I do think he has caused the few grey hairs I have found on my head this year.  But this boy we cuddle with me any day.  He is so good to play with his little brothers and loves his big sister.  We love you so much Koby!! :)

Update on Elder Tripper Frost

I haven't even blogged anything about our Tripper.  I guess it is because I do his Missionary site also.
He is doing great!  Been out 10 months now.  I can't believe how fast it has gone.  He is now a Senior Companion and baptizes like crazy!  He has a great attitude and is loving his mission.  We are so proud of him!


Cute Helen Jane


I went back to Vancouver for a quick trip to see my dear Friend Helen Jane who is having some health problems.  We had such a good visit!  What a neat lady.  I feel blessed to have her in my life!



Little Girl All Grown Up


6th Grade Graduation

She is all done with Elementary!

With cousin Jenny

Believe it or not - this is Mikaela's teacher Mrs. Snow.  She was amazing!

With the girls from the ward

With Grandma Skousen

The Smith Family

I have to say that I did share some tears as the kids were walking in and they played the graduation march.  I can't believe my little girl is getting so big.  She is so excited for Jr. High, to wear make-up, and to get her braces off!  

Kai's Pre-School Park Day and Graduation

Kai's end of school party at the park.
Playing duck, duck, goose.


Waiting for snacks.  Kai with his BFF Quinn and his little buddie - Red



Karsten was no going to miss out on the games....

Or be in line for the pinata....

Or hitting the pinata. :)

Kai swung once and it broke open.  Good thing he was at the end!


The pinata was cute - it was a graduation hat.

Kai's Tree-House Graduation.



He memorized his part so well!

And sang really loud!




With Quinn - his best buddie..

And of coarse - Karsten. :)

With his teacher (and aunt) Mrs. Skousen.  He had such a fun year and loved every minute of the Tree-House Pre-School.  Way to go Kai!! :)

Our Little Red

I took him to the park for Kai's end of school party.  He was a little tired - but his faces were priceless!
