18 Month Pics of Rachel

Our baby girl is growing up! It's hard to believe, but it's so much fun!

Rachel's First Haircut

Tuesday (May 18th) Rachel went to Jane's salon to get her first haircut. Jane is a special lady for the Skiles Family. She has now cut 4 generations of hair in Rachel's family! (Great Gma Skiles, Gma Skiles, Daddy, and now Rachel!) She also now does Momma's hair and did the hair for our wedding! We have fun going to see her! Rachel did better then we expected, and got a style too! She's a big girl now!

For Sure A Boy!

Last week we were blessed to get to see Noah again. And in the first pic it absolutely confirms he is a boy (as if there was any question!) He was moving around a lot the day the sono was done, but still had time to pose for pics.

The arrow shows boy as he sits in profile view. (Oh he will hate me someday!) :)

Happy Anniversary!

We were married 4 years ago today! I can't believe how the time has flown and how different our lives are now then they were then! But we love every minute! Daddy has a "surprise" weekend planned that I know nothing about, so I will have to post pics and the news about "celebrating" our anniversary when we get back Saturday. Until then...Happy Anniversary Brett! I love and don't know what I'd do without you!

Riverfest Fun!

When Momma was a little girl all her sisters, Gma Oakley, and GGma spent an entire Saturday at the Riverfestival downtown. As we have gotten older and had kids of our own we don't go the entire day, but I wanted Rachel to get in on a little of the fun! Her first time at Riverfest was a blast for her and Momma!! Even if it did rain a little!

Momma and Daddy

This was a horseshoe ministry. The horseshoe has John 3:16 and her name on it. A church was giving these out for free! Very neat idea!

Rachel's first funnel cake!

And of course we didn't get away without a giant corn dog!! We told her Aunt Shelly would be sooo jealous! :)

The Bedding!!!

No better theme for a boy named Noah! We purchased the bedding this evening and absolutely love it!

Say "Cheese"

We have been have been practicing saying cheese to the camera for pictures. Can you tell?! :)

First Purchases

Because Rachel was born first we have absolutely nothing BOY in the house! The very first thing bought was KU booties! (of course) And then we bought a swing. Daddy put it together Friday evening, following all the instructions! The nice thing about the new swing is that it is a bouncer as well. When you want it to be a bouncer, the swing seat just unlatches and sits on the floor! I hope Noah likes it as much as Momma!

He Has A Name!

Numero 2's name will be Noah. No middle name set for sure yet, but it will be soon!

Good Ol' Kansas Thunderstorm

The other night it stormed so Daddy took Rachel out on the porch to watch one of his favorite things. She thought it was fine at times and not so fine at others as the pics below show!

Numero 2 Is A BOY!!!

Our Family of 4!!!! (No one's as happy as Daddy!)
