They're Here!!!

I finally got to posting the pics from Rocky Point! It was a blast and we can't wait to go back!

I don't know if you can see, but Slade took a wipeout on the tile stairs and knocked his front teeth loose. His gums were all bloody the rest of the trip. Poor guy. :(

You can't go to Rocky Point without getting your hair braided! It's a tradition that my cousin, Paige, and I do every year we go!

The grandkids that went on the trip (minus 1).

Our Family

Oh so peaceful.

Lots of fun and games.

Oops. I accidentally uploaded two of the same pic and I can't figure out how to erase one of them. You'll just have to deal with it! :)

More paletas!

The Skousens are tooooooo cool.

Spring Break. Smile.

Grandma and Grandpa.

Slade can fly!!! (I edited this photo with Picnik [the best photo editing site on the planet].)

A New Addition

We have an important announcement to make. We have a new addition to the family named Diesel. In just the few days that we've had him, we figured out he's a mellow, sweet dog. He's like a giant Teddy Bear! We're hoping Cupid will make a friend out of him, but right now Cupid is still a little uncomfortable with him. Here he is:

Isn't he a cutie?

Our cousins actually have his brother, Harley. You can definetly see the resemblance! Here's a picture of Harley.

Don't they look the same? We are so happy to have him!

(BTW: Rocky Point Pics are coming soon!)

So Much Anticipation!

As I have mentioned in the Beach House post, this year we are going to Rocky Point (aka: Heaven on Earth). It is SOOOO much fun every year and we are finally going on Friday! 2 days! It may not seem like a very long time, but it is! A day seems like forever nowadays and it's just getting longer! This anticipation is pure agony!

Our Beach House

Every other year during spring break, the Skousens go on a big vacation to Rocky Point, Mexico. We usually rent a beach house and stay there for a few days. Some of the activities we've done in the past include getting our hair done in cornrows, swimming, going on a banana boat, and celebrated holidays like St. Patrick's Day and Easter. It's always so much fun! This year will be our third year going, and we are all SO excited!



A couple of weeks ago, my dad got the opportunity to go with my Grandma and Grandpa Skousen down to Rocky Point to rent out the beach house that we'll be staying in! It was his birthday, and it was nice for him to get off work and go to Mexico. Here are a few pictures of the beach house they got. My grandpa took the pictures, and he didn't take one of the house from the front, so I'm just going to show you some pictures of parts of it.

This is the main room. This picture was taken on the stairs.

Another picture of the main room. Notice the statue in the corner. We're gonna half to get a sheet and give it a toga or something. :-)

The court yard.

The gorgeous view.

Nice shot of my dad, huh?! :-)

It's Official ... I LOVE Picnik!

So, about 2 months ago, my cousin, Kassidi, introduced me to picnik.com. It's just about the BEST photo-editing program EVER!!! Picnik is pretty much everything I do in my spare time and I highly suggest it. Here are a few of the experiments I've done.

Superbowl Sunday

Superbowl weekend was a whole lot of fun, despite the outcome of the game! Our family went to Chino Valley at my Uncle Curt and Aunt Jeannine's house to watch the big game. While we were there, we played with cousins and chatted. My personal favorite activity was playing Rockband. They have drums, guitar, and singing. It was so much fun! My favorite song to sing was Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi. It would have been the PERFECT weekend if the Cardinals' hadn't lost!
