Meet the Skillmans

This is Kreig and I(Heidi). We have been married for just under a year. Kreig has his own insurance agency and a small cleaning business. I work part time at a hospital.

These are the kids. Alix is seventeen years old and a junior in highschool. She gets really good grades and is in cheer and dance. She wants to be an anesthesiologist. Charlee is almost 9 months old. She is a hyper little thing, but a joy to be around!

This is Kiwi. Our CRAZY dog! She is a schnoodle. She is only a year and a half old, so she still has ALOT of puppy in her. We love her like another child.

Need a smile????

I stayed home from work today because Charlee is sick. She has been REALLY grumpy for the past 3 days! A combo of 3 teeth coming in and a cold makes for some very miserable days! However, I was doing dishes this afternoon and turned around to find my daughter walking around the house like this. Just what I needed, a good smile:)

Easter

We had a really good Easter this year! We went to church with Grandma and Grandpa Skillman. Charlee did really good for about 40 minutes, but she spent the last 40 minutes in the hallway because she was yelling and talking during service. After church we went to lunch and the Rayls joined us.

Charlee started saying "BaBa" and crawling today! I was beginning to think she was NEVER going to crawl. I guess she showed me! She has also said "DaDa" a few times, but I am tuning it out:) She has been pulling herself up in her crib too! This always ends badly! She has smashed her face on her mobiles countless times! Poor baby:(

Almost 8 months old

I always thought that Charlee would walk early based on how good she does in her walker, but not this early! She doesn't pull herself up yet, but if you stand her up she is a walking machine! She has also decided she is done with her walker (aka "the babysitter), so it looks like I need to get to baby-proofing ASAP! My sweet little baby is growing up too quick:(
