6.50?

As I was ebaying one day I noticed my sister in-law Chelsie gave me great feedback on an item she purchased from me. Then I noticed she has way more feedback than I do, curious I started looking at a few of the things she has been buying and selling. Six dollars and Fifty cents for the 2009 S.I. Swimsuit edition. Very Nice Chels, Very Nice!

Little buster...

Funny quotes by Bridger:

When I go get Bridger out of his crib in the morning, his eyes get wide and he says, "Mommy, don't you have cowlege (college) today?"
Jeremy and Bridger were watching the Xgames and a guy snowboarding fell Bridger yelled, "That guy just biffed it!"
When I put Bridger in his car seat one day I bumped his head on the door and he was very upset. Now everytime before I lift him in he says, "mommy, try not to bump my head." After I successfully place him in without bumping his head he replies, "Thanks mom for not bumping my head."
Jeremy calls his new car (1995 Buick Regal that we bought from his parents) the red rocket. Tonight Jeremy was leaving and Bridger began to cry and yelled, "No daddy don't take red rocket, take big bwack (our black Denali)."
My favorite is when I am getting excited or irritated he states, "CALM DOWN MOM!"
We came home from wal-mart last night and I couldn't figure out why he was crying, finally I got him to calm down and asked him why he was sad, his reply, "You haven't washed my hands yet." Yep that is all me and one day Jeremy might thank me for my OCD about germs!

A day doesn't go by that I am not thankful for Bridger in my life, (even when he drives me nuts). He definitely keeps Jeremy and I on our toes! He is all boy and loves everyone he comes in contact with. As soon as I can get him to sing his Bridger song loud, I will take a video and place it on here!
Enjoy the pictures...

Bridger...

Last week, I was attempting to study while Bridger was playing in the living room. My backpack was open and I noticed he grabbed a highlighter and had started to color on some of my notes. I didn't think twice about it because he was entertained. The next thing I know he grabbed a picture off the computer desk and hands it to me and says "Look mom, I drew a picture of you!" All I could do was laugh when I saw this......

This is one of my senior pictures, Bridger just added some "color" to it!

Some thoughts....

My heart is so full this week. A little boy in our (Jeremy and I teach together) primary class was killed on Tuesday morning in a school bus accident. I went to the funeral yesterday and even though it was the saddest funeral I have ever attended, I learned many things and my testimony was strengthened so much in that hour. http://www.gillettenewsrecord.com/articles/2009/02/13/news/wednesday/news01.txt read the article because it will make sense as I go on. His dad read his eulogy at the funeral and what a man of faith and love he is. Next, I witnessed the most christ-like example I have ever seen. The bus driver walked in with the family behind the casket and she and her daughter sat next to the parents of the little boy. The dad talked about how they loved the bus driver and no matter what the media portrays, they are going to continue and embrace this woman with their love. He also said that we need to tell our children EVERYDAY how much we love them, not hold grudges, and forgive. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Christ lives and loves each one of us. Count your blessings, I know I am guilty of taking what I have for granted. Last night, I held Bridger tighter than I ever have before because I know he is ours for eternity. The Ringers have extreme faith and know that Josh will be waiting for them when their time comes and that Heavenly Father has provided a plan so that families can be together forever.

Dang Wyoming wind.....

Sunday morning I wake up to snow fall around the Gillette area. I planned to leave at 2 p.m. for a conference in Cheyenne with my nursing class. Around 10 a.m. my cellphone rings and my instructor thinks it would be a great idea if we left at noon instead. I am a class officer so I needed to be to a dinner at 5:30 that night. Cheyenne is about 230 miles and on a good day a 3-3.5 hour trip. Needless to say I rush to get packed and am on the snow filled roads with 2 other girls at 12:15! I should have known better... We didn't arrive in Cheyenne until almost 6 p.m. that evening. Very crappy roads 90% of the drive down!
The conference was all day Monday and until noon on Tuesday. Therefore we planned on being home around 5 Tuesday night. Sunday/night, Cheyenne got close to 12 inches of snow. Josie came over Monday night and we were able to go out to dinner and hit the mall for some shopping. We found some awesome deals and had a lot of fun together. Josie ended up staying the night and leaving around 7 Tuesday morning. While I am in my class Tuesday morning I am getting text messages about the road conditions and the 50 mph winds on I-25! They closed the roads before we were able to get out of town. I was a bit unhappy but whatever! Wednesday morning I wake up and the roads are all still closed out of Cheyenne. Around noon they decide to open I-25 so I call everyone who was riding with me and we get the car packed. 1:00 my instructor is telling us not to leave and wait until Thursday morning. I call my dad and he says get on the road because they look fine and we have enough daylight to get to Douglas. 1:20 my instructor is now in my face and making me sign some consent about how I am leaving "AMA" a medical term used when someone leaves against medical advice. What a MORON! So everyone now decides we better not go and my instructor wants to call my dad and ask him why he is giving me advice about getting on the roads when he is in Gillette. At this point I am crying because I just want to go home. I decided to stay and went to the Laramie County Library in Cheyenne (it is BRAND new and 4 awesome levels) and studied all afternoon. I learned that it is nice to study while in a very BAD mood. So 4 sleepless nights later and after wearing dirty clothes for 2 days, I made it back to Gillette Thursday around noon! I missed my 2 boys like crazy and I don't have any plans on traveling without them anytime soon. By the way, does anyone in the Skinner family have a clue what it is about Cheyenne and the weather when we are visiting??????

Sweet side note~

Tonight Bridger and I went over to G&G Jensens to celebrate Ashleys' birthday. Grandpa asked Bridger to say the prayer and it was by far the sweetest prayer Bridger has ever said. It's a funny thing that he listens so well to what Jeremy and I say in our prayers. Often times I find myself scolding him to fold his arms or kneel and be reverent. Even with all that commotion he knows we are praying to Heavenly Father, so tonight without silence he humbly said that he was thankful for our blessings, the Gospel, our families, mommy and daddy. I suppose that doesn't sound like much but I found myself choking up when I helped him finish the prayer and as I type this my eyes are blurring with tears. Bridger is listening when we pray just like Heavenly Father listens to each of our prayers, keep that in mind!~
