Austin just had his Eagle Board of Review! It was scary! (for me not Austin). He did great. I was proud to introduce him as my son! Now, we wait for nationals and see if they passed it. Then we can have our EAGLE "court of honor" for him. His big brother Colt went and so did our hometeacher, Bro. Hancock. Thank you to both of you! We couldn't do it without you!

JUNE 20 - save the date!
Number one son is getting married!!! He has found the sweetest girl EVER and we love her. Her name is Kristin Hardy and she signed his yearbook in High School! They went to school together, but never really hung out. But they are hanging out now! So, we would officially like to welcome Kristin to the Skinner clan and are so happy you two are tyin' the knot! Lots of fun plans ahead - that's for sure!!! Kristin is a kindergarten school teacher at Meridian and her kids LOVE Miss Hardy! We love her too!

Happy Mother's Day
Thank you to my awesome husband for cooking my yummy steak dinner today! I had the "day off" and enjoyed it with a long nap, good food, and my favorite company (my kids). Mandy & Van made the greatest bruchetta!! And Colt & Kristin brought a multitude of hot chocolate to taste in lots of flavors! I love my kids more and more every day. I am so lucky to have them a part of my life. Sweet Nyah is so fun and getting so full of personality. I love to watch her try to talk! What a Q.T.!! My Mom has been with us since April 6th. She is a trooper and is being patient until she can return to Utah. But, for the most part, she enjoys it here. She is always trying to do something to help me! I LOVE HER!
Did pretty well at the garage sale yesterday. All together we made over $600. Now we will get everything ready for the movers to "survey" this Thursday. They will let us know if we have too much weight for the barge "pack out". This is such a crazy time for us!
The B of M reading is coming along. I get pretty lost when Nephi is talking "Isaiah". He even says his people didn't understand it! NO DUH!! I loved it when he said, and now I speak in a way that they will understand! Yeah, me too! If we are 1/4 of the way done by Wednesday, we will have our first reward - a MOVIE Friday night! YIPPEE!! I'll bet Ashlee is ahead of me in her reading. She is really good at reading every night!
Austin is all ready for his "Board of Review" with the Eagle Board. He turned in his "write up" and will meet Thursday night. Man, I'm so nervous for him. He is such a GREAT kid! I'm so proud of him. I hope he passes! Then we can have his Court of Honor before we move! His big brother Colt can come and sit in the Eagle's Nest along with his Dad! WAY COOL!!!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYBODY!
