is this where i post a memory of you? gee, coco, where in the world do i start?! i probably have at least as many memories of you as i do with my own mom, or anyone for that matter! i remember watching you get ready for dates when you were still in high school, putting makeup on at your vanity and doing your hair and your long tube socks...i remember having sleepovers at your house with your roommates and riding in your little red truck and singing primary songs because you didn't have a radio...i remember you babysitting me (a lot!) and just spending time hanging out at our house...i remember some of your old boyfriends, ha ha...i remember spending the summer with you when cole was born--i was probably a pretty ornery teenager (sorry) but you were kind to me and loved me and i ADORED you--and i still do!!! i remember the sweet note you wrote to me when i went to girls' camp with sarah...i still have it and it's very special to me. i remember thinking that having aunts like tammy and coco was WAY better than having a big sister!!!!
love you, xoxo

This is Kayola Skinner...I got to your blog off of Meg's and I remember you coming out to Noah Webster and swinging by to see Tammy and thinking what a cutie her sister was. Wow how your little family has grown up since I saw you last...my goodness! This blogging is so great to keep people in touch!
Coco you are so dear to me. I love you so much! I have so many memories with you & I love them all. I am so glad to not only have you as my Auntie, but as my friend. I loved spending the nights with you as a little girl- you gave me my favorite stuffed bear, the white one with the bean bag butt, and I have chewed the nose off of it. :) I watched as you had the strength to deliver a 9+ lb. baby naturally(what good birth control that was for a 14yr old!), and my favorite memory happened not that long ago after Riah's wedding when I sat around your table with the "grown-ups" and we all talked & confessed(!!!) & laughed til' we cried. It was awesome and it really made me feel closer to you & my mom. I cherish my memories with you!
I agree with Amy, that you hold as many memories and teachings for me as my Mother almost. I don't remember spending a lot of time with you one-on-one prior to the summer I lived with you guys. Also like Amy I know I was ornery! And not the easiest person to live with. How did we all survive in that house without killing each other?! I remember you stubbing your toe so hard on the couch that you broke it because you were trying to not step on Chewie. I remember stepping in puddles of puppy pee and being so upset we had to laugh or we would cry. You helped me SOOOOO much that summer in dealing with and overcoming so much. You taught me a lot about life and love and family and being a great aunt. You took me in when you didn't have to and it has made all the difference. I love you dearly. I am so glad we are close and good friends. You have filled a much empty place in my life and I am so glad I have you. Can't wait to see you at the wedding! All my love!
My aunts have all given me many wonderful memories. I remember your little red pickup that I used to love to ride in when we lived in Chandler. And one of my favorite memories was of staying with you when you house-sat for some friends. The house was huge, and they even had a pool. One night you went out to dinner with a friend, and took me along. We went to the "Salt Cellar" I think? Anyway, that night I tried "escargot" and real turtle soup.
And I also still have the journal that you gave me for my baptism. It is very special to me. You wrote your testimony on the inside of the front cover, along with a photo of President Kimball.
Of course, we also have many recent memories. Thanks so much for all the fun and visiting we have had this year. We love you all.

Wow! What great tributes to you from our sweet nieces & nephew!
The memories come tumbling! My first memory of you was before you were born and Mom was so sick during her pregnancy with you. She needed to have shots everyday and when we went to Chino to spend some time she thought I could give them to her. Surprise!! I couldn't! so Enid did! And then the night you were born...Bill & I were in a stake play at the old Mesa High School. We were downstairs in the band room having prayer when Maura came bounding down the stairs shouting, "It's a GIRL!!" I was a senior in high school & the oldest at home. I remember holding you for hours and hours and examining your fingers, ears & toes and seeing how PERFECT you were and for the first time realizing the miracle of birth and perfection. I remember coming home on weekends when I went to college. I missed you SO much and you were such a little cutie (imagine Kaydance!) Seemed like not long after that, I was busy having my own family. I remember how grateful I was to have you come and help out the summer that we had 2 extra kids. Although you were only 11, you were SUCH a wonderful help to me. And zooming over the years and so many memories, I especially treasure our late night talks as adults, sharing testimonies, joys, hardships & LIFE.
I love you!! And I'm SO proud of you and the wonderful woman and daughter of Heavenly Father that you are!

OK, maybe I have to do 2 because they are so fond and vivid in my memory. When I was 7 or 8 I remember Aunt Coco taking us all (at least my siblings and me) to Chucky Cheese. We didn't have any restaurants like that anywhere near us and it was such an adventure and so much fun. I had never seen a black light before, so to this day, every time I see a black light, I think of Chucky Cheese and Aunt Coco.
My second and quite possibly favorite memory of you is when I was maybe about 8 or 9 years old. My brothers, usually my best pals at home, were playing with cousins and climbing in the tree on the corner of Grandpa & Grandma's front yard. They said I was too small to climb with them and I was feeling left out. You saw my disappointment and took me to town with you. When I couldn't decide between two different flavors of bubble gum, you told me to get both. I felt like a KING and didn't care any more about being left-out because I knew that I mattered to someone special, my Aunt Coco. I'll always love you for that.

Hey, We are going private on our blog... so please leave me your email if you wish to be invited!
Coco! It was such a surprise to hear from you! I couldn't find you in all the pictures...are you there? It was nice to see your Mom looking so well! Please tell her hi from us. How many children do you have? And just why haven't you posted since August????
