Dang that is a sexy truck....

We recently reached a major milestone with our Dodge. 100,000 miles and still going strong. This event occured on my most recent trip to AZ for work.

I always end up doing a lot of thinking when I drive, which to Britt's defense, does get me in a lot trouble.

In the four years we have had our truck we have gone through the following...

5,800+ gallons diesel fuel consumed

180+ fill ups

20 oil changes equaling 60 gallons of oil

Countless number of trips to AZ

One new set of tires

My most recent addition is the RanchHand Bumper replacement that I got from my good buddy Alan. Not only is it massive and beefy, it is also bomb proof and comes with a 15K winch option. Thanks Alan for the bumper and helping me get it mounted up. Haven't hit anything with it yet, but I feel sorry for what ever is brave enough to jump out in front of my truck (insert evil laugh here).

Here are a few pics.

Mallory got to go with Dad to help with the install and she was a big help. She said she had fun, I hope she did since I had fun having her with me.

I love ya Mallory

Thanks for the hook up Alan..... your the man

Regards,

James "Mule" Skinner

We LOVED Washington!!

They were all very sad to leave! Except Molly the pug! She was glad

Maverik was leaving!

Nan's house is so cute! We had a lot of fun at the Falls. It was raining but still cool!

Ok, I have been wanting to post pics for awhile now, but things got crazy when we got home, homework, sick kids and James still working 24/7. But we had so much fun in Washington and Oregon! It was beautiful and we were glad we got to go! Thanks to Nan & Lynn for letting us stay! Our kids had so much fun visiting their cousins and cried when we had to leave. Thanks to Nan for decorating and making a cake for Halle! We loved everything! Even Maverik throwing a fit at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Happy 12th Anniversary!

I can't believe we have been married for 12 years! Where does the time go? I have to tell everyone the top five reasons I love my husband

1. He always makes me laugh (sometimes almost making me choke to death)

2. He is a hardworker!

3. He loves to cook and is great at it!

4.He can fix anything(atleast I think he can) and always fills my car with gas!
5. He is my best friend and still my high school Sweetheart!


Every year just gets better, I love ya babe!

My Partner

I read Melissa's blog and can totally relate. Here is what me and my partner in crime have been up to.....

Going for a jog! Iremembered why I hate to run with a stroller!

Watching the girls leave for school! He gets very lonely with mom!

!

Maverik with his smoothie mustache!

I told Maverik it was time for nigh-night and I came upstairs and found that he had gotten up on my bed and under my covers! He obviously knows what he wants!

Go Jazz!

Our school won a contest for reading and got to have a Jazz player come. Mallory's class read the most and so they got a picture with Jaron Collins. I was helping take the picture so I grabbed Mallory and got a pic with Jaron, He also signed Mallory's shirt. It was cool!

What a fun weekend

A day at the park (with BEAUTIFUL weather) What a bunch of HOTTIES!!

Just trying to update my blog. I wish I was more computer savvy, but oh well. I wanted to say thanks to my mom, sisters and ecspecially James for a great weekend away. I love AZ and the weather was great! I missed my kids a lot. (still trying to convince James to move back) It was a great break from our crappy weather!! STILL SNOWING!! We have had more snow than ever!

Valentines Day-Late Start because of blizzard! Nice!!

James digging us out after our crazy blizzard!

I miss my sisters!!!!

okay I know everyone was glad to see my blog finally change, but I haven't been blogging lately because I'm really homesick and it sucks to see everyone having fun without us!!(Amazing Race, Snow, Shopping) Maybe it is this crappy weather but I feel like I'm going crazy here! I wish I could just call one of my many sisters and say meet me at the park for lunch! I was talking to Brook today and I know we could have both used a reason to get out! I just want to tell all my SISTAS, I love you guys! Maybe some day my girls will stop fighting long enough to realize how cool sisters are!
