"Duuuude"

Skyler, Carter and Zach (Skyler's younger brother)

These boys have too much fun together. Whenever they hang out Carter says "duuuuuuude". So much fun watching boys be boys!

7 years in the making!!

Skyler started college at BYU-Idaho back in 2004, after a year of school he left to serve a mission in Brazil for 2 years then returned in 2007. That's when we met and maybe slacked off in school a little bit :)! We got married in 2008 and we took 2 semesters off to work and enjoy the newlywed life! Plans changed a little bit when I had Carter the week before finals Dec. 2009. We knew that we (errr Skyler) needed to focus on school and get things done so we can move on from our lives in the little bubble of Rexburg. That next semester Skyler got on fast grad and went to school year round for 1.5 years AND worked full time. It was tough, he would head off for his day of work and school at 7 AM and not get home for the day till 8. Some of those days he had tests/projects/ect and it would be much later. We looked forward to July 2011 for so long and could not wait for it to be over! Even though at the time it seemed like it would never come, it did! Skyler Graduated from BYUI with a bachelors degree in Business Marketing!! I am sooo proud of him and all the hard work he put into his degree!! He would go to work and school and still come home and play with Carter and give mama a break whenever he could! I am so grateful to have a husband who is willing to work so hard to take care of his family!! Love love love you Skyler!!
