So, it was just so beautiful yesterday that I took Sammy with me to check the mail, but that was about as far as we could go without a stroller. So last night, we went and bought one of those cheap umbrella strollers so now Sammy can come with me when I go walk around the storage units, checking the locks and such. 
Today was our first time out and Sammy looked so cute in his stroller and also in his little coat Oma bought for him. We had a great time and the weather was pretty nice, just a little windy. I think it will quickly become part of our routine, he liked it so much and Mommy loved getting out of the house for a while!
Thanks to Grandma Smith for this picture. This is Kayla, Adam, Ellie (she's the older one) and Emma Marble. Kayla is Robert's older sister. This is picture is from this last Christmas. The Marbles are showing off their scarves and cups with their names on them.
The Skousen Family: top row, left to right- Jacob, Mark (Dad), Robert, Adam (Kayla's husband), and Lisa. bottom row-Shanna, Trixie (Mom), Me, Kayla, and Kurtis. Kayla and Adam have to sweet little girls, Ellie and Emma, but they left them with family members for the wedding. I will go find pictures of them and post them later.
The Whatcott Family: top row-Candace, Roland (Dad), Robert, Ben (Corinne's husband), Angela, and April. bottom row-Matthew, Natalie, Leslie (Mom) with Lucy on her lap, Me, Corinne with baby Karalie, and Daniel. This is pretty much how our family still is (besides, of course Sammy), for now. Candace is engaged, Corinne is expecting Girl #4 and April is dating like crazy at college, so the family may get alot bigger before the year is out.
So this is (obviously) one of the pictures from our wedding almost two years ago. Isn't my honey HOT? Ok, now back to business. One of my friends posted pictures of her nieces and nephews and I thought it was a good idea. My nieces are soo adorable! The oldest on the left is Natalie Noel, the one on Robert's lap is Lucy Lynn and the sweet baby I am holding is Karalie and I don't know her middle name, sorry! Natalie and Lucy still look much the same, but Karalie has grown a TON! She is only about a month old in this picture. They live with their parents in Prosser, Washington and we had a great time last summer living close to them and visitng each Saturday to help them add on to their home.
What more do I need to say? He was so sweet and angelic, I had to post these photos!
Samuel Kent Skousen was blessed on Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 by his Daddy. Those in the circle included Grandpa Skousen, Grandpa Whatcott, Great-Grandpa Whatcott, and two cousins and an uncle of Daddy's.
The outfit Sammy wore is the same one that his Daddy was blessed in 23 years ago! It was made by his mom with the same fabric she used to make her wedding gown, so it meant alot that he could still fit into it! All of Daddy's brothers were blessed in this outfit, too. The little booties were knitted for Sammy by Great-Grandma Smith and the white blessing blanket was made by Grandma Skousen.
Sammy was so excited to finally meet his Grandpa Skousen! They had a great time getting to know each other during Grandpa's visit.
So here are a few of Sammy hanging out with Mommy and Daddy this last weekend. You can tell he's having a blast by the expression on his face! :)
Here Sammy is enjoying the beautiful new quilt his Great-Grandma Smith made for him.
He's still getting used to the idea of "tummy time" :)
