Amika's Baptism






It was a perfect Sunday for Amika. We had so many people celebrating and even some special guests all the way from Montana. We could not have asked for a better day!!

Sometimes I just come across pictures that need to be enjoyed because the young children in the pictures are so cute.

The Forbes come to Visit






Three children under the age of 4 and two teenagers makes for fun and excitement. Even in June we did manage to squeeze in a couple hours of sunshine! Nic, Gus, Seth(even drove the boat a couple times), and Lilly.

A visit to Glenwood


We popped into visit our good friends the Stewart's. We can't wait until they come with their kids to visit at the lake

Graduation Day for Tiffany



All the Skalsky's were in Sauk Centre to celebrate Tiffany's graduation and to send her off to the Navy. It was also the first time in a long time that all of Larry and Gloria's grandchildren were all together. WHOHOOO!

Really you have to wonder about her parents!?!

The first great weekend of SUMMER/SPRING!




Colorado Friends


Rich and Nicole are great school buddies who now live in Colorado. I try not to hold it against them. We met their daughter Jayden. She is only 10 days younger than Amika. It was great watching the two babies interact.

Veronica Amaya




Amika received her first cabbage patch doll. Believe it or not, I got a bit misty eyed over that. I mean it's her first real dolly and she got something that I never had as a little whipper. Amika LOVES her, in fact in one of the pictures..maybe too much love.

The women of Mother's Day

Interesting...


Apparently at the Skalsky's they serve baby for Mother's Day dinner. :-)

Volleyball



Amika went to Moorhead to cheer on Katie's team in JO Volleyball. Uncle Scott was protecting Amika from flying volleyballs. Amika is not quite sure what to think about this volleyball thing yet...

A new behavior


I got a kick out of watching Amika with her new toys. She was pulling the cups apart, they would roll away, she would try to scoop them all back to her. Of course she put them in her mouth. The interesting part was that she would get mad if they ALL were not in front of her. She would cry and want me to bring them back to her if they rolled away. I haven't seen her get frustrated with a toy like that before...

"treble maker"


I got this onesie about 3 years ago, just when we started the adoption process. It's just been waiting for the right baby. I can't help notice the colors...hhhhmmm...she's trying to be a Sturgis Scooper.

I think this dress has been worn by many cousins...Do I remember this first on almost 17 year old Katie???

Not everyone is crazy about the Paparazzi....



both Jackie and Amika let me know how they felt.
