It was something I dreamed about and looked forward to ever since I can remember...and probably even before that.
Being a mother is to me the greatest calling any woman can have on this earth. There is nothing more noble or brings more joy than being a mom. There is also nothing that brings more heart ache and suffering than those three little letters m-o-m.
One thing is for certain...once that precious little newborn is placed in your arms, your heart is never the same.
I feel so grateful to have been blessed five times over with that experience. But the first time is always something that each mother always treasures and never forgets. In the very moment that sweet little bundle arrives into this world, you transform from being just a woman, into becoming somebody's mother. Thank you Skyler for making me a mother! Your mother. ♥ I love you bud! ♥
Happy Birthday!
He spent a lot of time doing this over the years!
Hockey - He is a brilliant ice skater and played hockey for the Northern Utah Independent team.
Graduation 2003
Trip to Hawaii ~ (one of them) - He has been twice already and is going again on Thursday to go work for two weeks!
Skyler served an honorable mission for our church to the Indianapolis, Indian mission for two years. If I had more time I would post some of his Indiana pictures. Maybe later....
He has been on THREE cruises (yes THREE! and I haven't even been on one! There is something wrong with this picture!)
They have not always been the best experiences.... the first had some issues, the second he was sick the entire time, and the third ALL of his things were stolen off the beach (cell phone, IPOD, wallet, shoes, credit cards, money, driver's license, passport, etc!) Now if he would take his Mother with him, then maybe she could help prevent these things from happening!
Sky has always been daring and adventurous and loves to do crazy things like scuba-diving, cliff diving, and even SKY-DIVING! I wish I had some photos of those crazy antics...on second thought, maybe I don't!
Alaskan catch!
I could not have asked for a better firstborn! Skyler has always been such a great example for his younger brothers, which is good because they look up to him so much. I really like having him around at home and it's so nice to be able to talk to him as an adult now. It's so cool...he really talks back! No grunts or caveman-ease anymore! I love it! I just wish he was able to be home more often!
Thanks for being such an amazing son Skyler! I ♥U!
He's gone a little to the dark side as of late... lol!
Happy Birthday to a great son and wonderful brother!
We ♥ you!!!
But most of all... thanks for making me a mother! ♥

Happy Birthday to your Skyler. He is an amazing young man and very handsome. Being a mom is the greatest thing isn't it?
Happy Birthday Skyler. I'm so very jealous of all your trips and adventures! That's awesome!
L♥VE your post, as always .. you do the most amazing things! being a Mom is definitely the best!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKYLER .. I too am jealous of the trips, WOW! hope you have another wonderful year!
Let me join the group of bloggers and wish you a very Happy Birthday. Sounds like you have been around the world, you are so lucky!oooooh and just look you were born in the lucky month of March, no wonder! Have a great day.....oh no here goes my daughter wanting to blog again....
This is Stephanee, Tamee's daughter, and I wrote earlier on one of your mothers blogs saying how hot you are!! Just wanted to let you know! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Oh he was so cute! And still IS so cute....or should I say HOT like Stephanee above?
Time has a way of flying by when you aren't looking. Wish Skyler a Happy Birthday for me. He probably doesn't even know who I am, but I do remember being in St. Louis when you went to that game.
What a nice tribute for your son's birthday. I feel the same way about my oldest- my greatest blessing is the day she made me a mother. Nothing is more precious to me then being a mother to my children. My twins are graduating this year and I am trying to prepare myself for a semi empty nest.
Jodi - you so need to treat yourself and go on a cruise! They are so much fun. I loved how you wrote about your son making you a mother. I never thought of that - just "Happy Birthday." Maybe I'll thank him when he quits leaving his clothes all over the house!
we were pregnant at the same time. My oldest will be 24 on March 25th, fun, if we had only know each other then. hehe
Sking on his dads shoulders at age one! how did you let them do that? that would have scared me to death! death for sure! He is a very cute boy/man1
Happy Birthday to Sky! My oldest son was born just a couple months before him! :)
Happy Birthday to your Sky.
He sounds like a terrific young man--but, of course, he has a great mom ; )
