Benson and Claire were born with a rare genetic disease in which their liver produces too much oxalate--called primary hyperoxaluria. Claire's condition has progressed much faster than Benson's. She was on dialysis since she was 3 months old and for much of that time, did dialysis 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. She receive a much needed kidney / liver transplant on December 18, 2009. It is expected Benson will eventually need similar transplants.

Picts.

Having some fun at the dinosaur museum.


Great Grandma and Grandpa Roberts


All the grand kids on the Skinner side. Need a little more pink to even this picture out!!


Claire loved being surrounded by baby Luke and baby Thomas.

We certainly couldn't leave home without her favorite baby Annie...and she even came home with a baby Thomas of her own! Oh the baby fun she has.


Playing baseball at the sand dunes.

Waiting for their roasted hot dogs...well at least two of them are. Claire's just socializing.


Benson was born to love 4-wheelers! He could ride one every day of his life and still ask to go for another ride. He loved going fast and jumping with Jared at the dunes. Pretty sure Jared had a good time too! I was good for a ride. "A" being the key word.

At the parade. Claire loved waving back at all the people waving to her.

Free candy?! Sweet!

Helping Jared mow the lawn.
