First day in sunny California

In January I started feeling a little better and wanted to get out of bed and get some sunshine. We convinced the Ipsens to go on a roadtrip to California with us. We had a great trip and I came home with a much better outlook on life and thinking that maybe I could handle being pregnant for a few more months. The Ipsen kids had never been to In N Out, so we stopped for lunch and met Grandma and Grandpa Skaggs to deliver their new puppies to them.

Xander and Brevin came with Grandma and Grandpa

We went Newport Beach to go tide pooling. Grayson is getting ready to stick his finger in an anemone.

Their were so many cool things to explore in the tide pools.

Anisha is taking Sawyer for a spin in her sweet ride.

Sawyer isn't so sure he likes being this close to Buzz.

This picture has a sad story with it. Mylee really wanted to get her picture with Mickey Mouse. Just as it was our turn to get a picture she started dancing and had to go potty REALLY bad. Scott took her to the bathroom and was gone about 1 minute. By the time they got back the picture was done and no one wanted to waitfor her to go through the line again. Poor girl had to get her picture taken with Mickey's mailbox instead. We still feel guilty about that one.

OOH, Mylee you are sooo strong!

Poor Mylee with Mickey's mailbox

A great day at Huntington Beach

Mylee dug a cool hole that she was chillin' in.

Sawyer was afraid of the ocean, so he had to be held if you got to close to the water.

Here are the girls watching the surfer dude.

Sawyer with his dirty happy face.

The girls made an awesome sand castle.

Our day at Sea World

Mylee has a picture of her holding a starfish that was taken when we went to Sea World when she was one, so she wanted to make sure she had the same picture taken on this trip:)

Here is Emery holding a cool purple sea urchin.

Mylee look cool in her shades with another starfish.

Everyone looks like they are having fun on the rapid ride.

Sawyer wasn't to sure he liked having a starfish on his head.

Scott and Kadee watching the sunset at Mission Beach.

After a day at sea world we headed to Mission Beach. Kadee was so sad to leave sunny CA and just wanted to see the ocean one more time.

Long time no blog!

Since the first of November life at the Skaggs house has been kind of a mess. Kadee has been sick in bed, Scott has been trying to be both mom and dad, and the kids are wondering what the heck is going on. It has been miserable!!! Scott has done a great job cooking, cleaning, breadwinning, Christmas shopping, changing diapers, and showering love on our kids to try and maintain some semblance of normalcy. Meanwhile Kadee has laid in bed, moaning, crying, puking, feeling sorry, growing a baby, and definitely not blogging. Needless to say Thanksgiving came and went and so did Christmas and a New year, and we are thankful to see them all go. Finally for the last 2 weeks Kadee has began to come back to life, she even decided that she was Vitamin D deficient and that the only cure was soaking up the sun on the beach in sunny California, so we just returned from a trip there last night. (I will blog our trip next. ) Anyway since it has been so long the pictures in the Chrismas post are all jumbled and I didn't label any of them, so I will tell you here what they are about.

One night Sawyer and Mylee were playing barbies and we looked over and he had the barbie dress on his head, so cute!

There are a couple pictures of Grayson's 9th birthday party. Scott took him and his buddies sledding!

There is a picture of Emery dressed up for her report on Christmas in Guatemala. It was fun to have actual experience of Christmas there to share with her class.

We spent Christmas with Dallen and Molly and there kids and on Christmas Day taylor and Celeste came up. Thanks guys for trying to make the holiday normal for my poor kids!

Grayson has started playing basketball. Here is a picture of him and Bridger before a game.
