Bella Rouse

Bella is gone she lasted 2 weeks and 2 days. I got sick of pretending we were a dog loving family. I gave her to my friend Sarah one morning when my kids were still asleep. Lets just say that they shed no tears when I told them. The only one who cared was Annie, she keeps going to the back door and saying "Bella, Bella." I think that the Skousen will NEVER have a dog again. This time I mean it.

Bike rides with my dad

Annie loves to go on bike rides. I am not quite sure she realizes what her dads bike looks like. I think he thinks it is a west coast chopper. The best is when my brother Jono rides the bike I am sure it hurts his arms after a few minutes. Jack decided to put a baby seat on his bike because he did not like to take her on my pink bike. It hurt his ego!!!

Battle of the Books

Hailey had her last battle today. There were 4 teams tied for 1st , her team was one of them, but they missed 2 ? today so they got 3rd. 3 of her good friends won, they deserved to because they had read the books 3 times each. They were so excited. We were proud of Hailey and here 2 friends they did great.

Our New Puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess what? We got a new puppy the other day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We named her Bella Rousse Skousen (tell me if I spelled something wrong). My mom's friend Julie has a friend that got her but she was allergic. Isn't she sssssooooooooooo cute!!!!!! It's not official that we get to keep her, we have to try her for a week. My mom gets to decide.

P.S. Hailey wrote this. My 1st post. Maicy is begging to keep the dog.
Bella loves Annie and my dad.
Bella tried to escape from Kiley.

Hannah Montana

Before the movie. Aren't they cute?
Hyper Ladies!!!!!
Sorry about the red eyes I do not know how to edit them

Oh boy can you say hilarious. The girls and I went to see the Hannah Montana's 3D concert movie. It was so much fun. They thought they were at the real deal. We had 11 girls there and they were screaming along with all the other pre-teens in the theatre. Poor Annie had to stay at home with daddy. Jack it sure glad he did not have to attend.

Londons Run

OK I am new at the whole blog thing. Pretend the pictures are in order and that the whole Londons Run description is at the top.

This is Troy the cutest boy ever. I love this picture, even though Jules, Lindsay, Sarah and I are thrashed from the race.

This is my fam. It was fun to see them at the end of all the torture. They do not get to come to most of my races so I loved seeing them. I was proud of Jack getting the ladies ready and out to Queen Creek on time. Yeah!!!

This is team troy. My friends Lindsay and Jules aka Juliet.

This is Hailey and Maicy running to the finish line with me . I was pretty tired at this point.

Londons run

On saturday some friends and I did a 1/2 marathon, Londons Run. It is a race for leukemia. London passed away from leukemia a couple years ago and her family and friends do the race for different people each year. This year one of the kids they were raising $ for was Troy W. He is one of my best friends nephews. For those of you who know Juliet Chapman it is here sister Heathers son. He was diagnosed about 7 months ago. We had a blast it was sure hard. I was pretty much sick the rest of the day I did not rehydrate. I will have to remember that next time.

Annie is a big girl now!!!!!

I am in the nursury and let just say Annie thinks she is so big. She loves to say CHEESE when I take a picture. I just love this picture. Check her out in the group shot in the back, she looks so big.
