Bridger makes us laugh...again

This afternoon I was laying in bed thinking about taking a nap. Jeremy and I had ran errands and Bridger had fallen asleep in the car but as soon as he was placed in his crib he woke up and started to cry. I let him cry, but Jeremy decided to go get him and see if he would snuggle with us in our bed and fall back asleep. To Jeremy's surprise, Bridger was crying because he needed to go to the bathroom. Jeremy placed him on the toilet and was still in the bathroom when I overheard the following conversation....

Bridger, "daddy, I going poop!"
Jeremy, "really?"
Bridger, "Yep, I pee out my penis and poop out my bottom."
Jeremy (Im sure his face turning red trying not to laugh) "oh really? (awkward)"
Bridger, "uh huh."

At this point I have a belly ache because I am laughing so hard in our bedroom. Jeremy than comes in the room and asks why I taught our son the proper word for his male parts. I told him because I didn't want to lie to him. He was a little upset and still hasn't gotten over Bridger telling him that. Any suggestions as to what I could/should teach my son when it comes to the anatomy of his body????

If that wasn't the quote of the day...Fast forward 5 minutes, the 3 of us are lying in our bed and I am not facing either of them when I hear Jeremy pass gas. Bridger pipes up, "Daddy, that you?"
Jeremy (laughing) "yeah," Bridger ,"daddy, need to go poop?" Jeremy and I both laughed hard at that one as well.

Kids say the craziest things and yet they are honest. He does pay attention to what we tell him and ask him. We do ask when he has gas if he needs to go to the bathroom/poop? I'm getting a little nervous as to what the kids at daycare and nursery know about our family...

Locks Of Love

I have had long hair at least since I met Jeremy! It was getting harder and harder for me to brush, blow dry and style. So about a month ago I decided I probably had enough hair to donate to Locks of Love. Sure enough I had 12 inches, 2 inches longer than the requirements. Tell me what you think....(of the new do!)

Halloween!

We spent Halloween in Kansas this year. Bridger was kind of a pouty cow, not sure why, maybe the lack of sleep from the car ride the night before? He was dang cute though and so was his cousin Max that was with us. Shayla and I took them trick-or-treating in the ghetto, what an experience! This one lady didn't even have candy so she ran into her house and grabbed an empty fish bowl and put some suckers in it for the boys....Its the thought that counts right?

I think they were both sad the pumpkin was empty?

Quick Trip....Literally


If you know the Skinners, you know that we do crazy things like travel through the night to reach a destination in time for sunrise. And thats exactly what we did...Bridger and I rode with Lil Grandma, Jewls, Corde, Josie, and Kellen (Corde's friend) to Wichita, KS to visit Grandma and Grandpa Skinner for Grandma's 80th birthday. We left at 4:00 p.m. on the 30th and arrived in Wichita at 5 a.m. on the 31st of October. Bridger was an awesome traveler! It was a quick and fun trip. We saw Shayla, Max, Chelsie, Bryan, Madden, GandG Skinner, and a few old friends from Wichita. It was well worth the long trip! We arrived home on Monday Nov. 2nd at 3:00 a.m. just in time for my nursing test at 8! Definitely a Skinner thing because Jeremy kept telling me how crazy I was for even going in such a short amount of time... I wouldn't trade a weekend seeing family for anything! By the way, I even passed my test on only a few hours of sleep. A few weekend highlights: We ALL got to enjoy Chicken Noodles! I heard the foxhole story only 8 times! We ate Cinammon's Deli twice! We drove by the old "Skinner" house 3 times! Told funny stories about growing up in the 316 area!
