More of April 2009

Here is a recap of what went on in this busy month of April...

Mary's first Easter

Teron wondering why we hide eggs

Jonah was so "egg"cited to do the egg hunt

Jarom

Bentley

Kelly

Mary is two weeks old

Teron's 2nd Birthday

Jonah asks all the time to hold Mary. So on this day,

I had just finished folding laundry and Jonah gets up

on my bed so he can hold Mary. He put the boppi

around him to help him hold her. I went downstairs to

change the laundry and when I came back upstairs I

found them like this...both asleep all over the clean

clothes. It was too cute!

All of my siblings were in town for my baby sister's

missionary homecoming, so we celebrated some of our

birthdays together...Jennifer, Matt, Laurel, Ben.

Teron likes to ask, "Hold it? Hold it?" I gently correct

him and say "Hold HER." He's starting to get it.

Sam and Mary all pooped out from a hard day.

Mary at three weeks old.

Mary and her cousin, Riley, born the day before Mary

(my sister Heidi's baby)

Mary and her other new cousin, Harry, born two weeks

after Mary, but weighing TWO POUNDS more than Mary

(my sister Karen's baby)

Our Newest Addition!!

On Monday, April 6 at 6:58pm, we welcomed

our newest addition - Mary Lynne Alldredge

Sam giving Mary her first bath...

All tired out from her bath, but cute as a button.

Teron truly loves his new little sister.

Teron gets so excited every morning to go see

his Baby Mary. She just brightens his day.

Mary chillin' in her boppi.

Mary pondering..."What was I thinking?

Four older brothers and only one sister?

They better spoil me rotten!"

April 2009

April has already been so crazy that I'm

posting early this month...

My baby sister Amy returned from her mission

in Texas, Fort Worth on April 2.

Here's the grandkids eagerly awaiting

her to come down the stairs at the airport...

Amy is the one in the middle in a black jacket.

And then my sister Heidi had her 1st baby on April 5.
She had a girl, Riley Noel, and we are so thrilled
to add another girl to the Skousen grandkid pool.

March 2009

Bentley had his 10th Birthday on March 9.

Here he is sporting his new suit jacket.

As you can tell, I'm really creative when

it comes to birthday cakes...

Sam and I also celebrated our 14th Wedding
Anniversary on March 31. (Sorry no pictures)
We went to dinner at the Olive Garden and then
went grocery shopping to Costco and Wal-Mart.
We are so romantic!

February 2009

Here's what went on in February...

My cousin Katie got married on Feb 6.

So here's a memerable photo of me and

three of my sisters who are pregant too.

I'm due April 4; Heidi is due April 12;

Karen is due April 25; and Heather is due June 5.

And none of us know the sex of our babies.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Kelly participated in her school play.

It was called "Use Your Imagination".

She is in the third row from the bottom on the right end side.

Here she is again doing her scene.

She is the camper in the brown shirt.

On Feb 13 we went to a Balmoral Ward get-to-gether.
It was a blast...we missed all those who couldn't make it!

On Feb 24 we had the boys Blue and Gold Banquet
for Cub-Scouts. The theme was Dinosaurs.
This is Bentley & Jarom showing off the masks
they had made for this occasion.

They had the boys make dinosaurs out of potatoes.
Jarom is the one in the yellow neckerchief.

And here is Bentley making his potato dinosaur.


Well that about does it for now...
We have about three more weeks to go
before we this baby - whoppee!!
