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!)

BEFORE....

DURING...

AFTER...

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!

In the car....Aunt Josie, Odessa and Bridger

Bridger on the same tractor that my dad (Craig) rode when he was a kid. Funny thing, every so often Bridger says "let's go to Kansas so I can ride the tractor!" Did he forget the car ride?

Bridger...

Talks as much as his mom.
Uses full complete sentences to get his point across.
Was potty trained at 21 months.
Tells people his mom is having a baby girl. (for the record I'm not even pregnant, there is a girl in nursery at church whose mom is having a baby girl.)
Sometimes likes to hit his mom and than goes to timeout and counts to 5.
Eats anything and everything.
Loves his mommy and daddy.
Wants to do everything Jeremy does.
Is funny and makes us laugh.
Wants to be a cowboy like uncle Corde and Kellen.
Lovess to read books.
Loves to go to nursery.
Says the prayer and is thankful for anyone he knows.
Knows all of his aunts, uncles, and cousins by name.
Still sleeps in a crib.
Thinks he has 3 belly buttons.
Dresses like a stud. (due to his moms good taste)
Loves chocolate milk.
Can convince anyone he is sooo cute.
Loves his Napolean Dynamite boots. (Although we don't allow them to be worn in public)

Jeremy

Jeremy is still working at the mine for 4 days and harassing Bridger and I the other 4 days. He still snuggles with Buddy and is trying to teach Bridger to skateboard and snowboard. He can't wait until winter dumps plenty of snow so he can hit the slopes with his snowboard. Jeremy still makes me laugh until my stomach hurts and is the best dad ever. He cooks on his days off and puts Odessa's meals to shame even though she follows the recipe down to the T. He enjoys working on his truck in the garage and organizing it so Bridger can't get into everything including all of his tools. And yes for those of you who were wondering, Jeremy still gets made fun of for looking like a 16 year old! He will appreciate that someday...

Odessa

It's official. I am halfway through my first semester of nursing school. I would be lying if I said I hated it because I actually enjoy the learning part of it. Although it is time consuming, I feel I handle it alright. I have an A in the clinical part of it and a B in the lecture portion of school. Hopefully in 8 weeks those grades are still standing. I am so grateful for Jeremy. He is so supportive and at times when its frustrating he keeps me going. I think because its motivation that he can go to school when I am finished. Bridger is still too little to understand what school is exactly and he is a trooper most of the time too. Although last Friday he cried when I dropped him off at Grandma Jensens because he didnt want me to go to school. Luckily Jeremy works shift work and spends quite a few days with him as well.
