I sure do miss him. The kids and I talk about him everyday and although Maylee was a baby when he passed, she still recognizes his pictures and has to kiss each of them. Slade told me today that he just wants to be a dad right now. He explained to me that he just wants to do eveything that daddy did, so in his mind he needs to be a dad in order to accomplish that. It was cute. Daisy tells daddy about everything! I listen to her playing in her room and she pretends that he is playing right along with her. I love it. We love and miss you Skylar!

Thank you, Kari, to you and you kids for being an example of having an eternal perspective on the world and for having faith in our Heavenly Father's plan of happiness. <3
Thank you Kari for being so strong. Your family is such an example to the rest of us that marriage and families are eternal. I hope that someday I can be half as good as the mom you are. I love you.
WOW! what an inspiration you have been in 1 year. im sure you & your kiddies will continue to talk about what an amazing man/husband/father skylar was every day. love ya girl!
Kari I get the chills everytime I think of you and what youve been through. You have an amazing spirit about you. I know Skylar is watching over you from above. I wish you all the best. YOU ARE SO LOVED!!!
Great post! What sweet spirits you have in your home. I'm sure Skylar is so proud of you and your kids.
You are such a good example to so many people! You are in our prayers-as always!
I've had you on my mind and in my heart all day. You are loved, both here on this earth and above. Thank you for being you, a total and complete inspiration to me and others. Give those kiddos a big squeeze today from me. They are blessed to have you, and you them.
I second Jill's comments. When reading about Daisy pretending to play with daddy, I am sure that she really is playing with her daddy. The veil is so thin for our little ones and it would not surprise me one bit if Skylar comes to visit the kids every day. Maylee kisses his pictures and recognizes him because she sees him often. It may seem strange but when I was reading your post, I had a strong feeling that Skylar really is with you and the kids. I sure hope that I am right. I hope you had a beautiful day at his campsite. When I picture it I can't help but think of the sacred grove. Hugs and love to you!
Your family is amazing. I'm sure he is there with you guys playing and watching. Love you.
Kari you have been on my mind alot this month, you are such an amazing example to me of your strength and your faith. You have done an amazing job with your little family! I know that Skylar is SO proud of you guys! I also know that he is very near and I'm sure watching you guys closely. :) I'll keep you in my prayers. Love you!!
What a strong family you are! We love you.
You and your family have been on my mind a lot this month. You have such a beautiful family! Thanks for being such a great example and inspiration to me and many many others. I agree with a lot of the other comments saying that he is near you guys and would be so proud of you. Love you guys!
You are such a strength to everyone around you, especially your little ones. You have so many people that love and care for you. How lucky that we get to be with our loved ones for eternity. I bet this last year has been unbearably hard for you. I hope with each passing day, it becomes a little easier than the one before it. Up until the moment you get to hold him once again in your arms. I bet he misses you even more than you miss him. Hugs.
We love and pray for you and your family Kari! What an amazing example you are and what a wonderful example Skylar was. I know too that he is always watching over you!

I know he is there watching them play. I know that your kids can and do communicate with him. They just may not be able to process it or recognize it. I hope you have seen it or felt it. I love you Kari.
i've thought about you so much this month, kari! i admire your strength beyond words. and i love hearing about your sweet kids. you're doing an amazing job with them. we wish you a very merry christmas!
I love the feeling of knowing he's not far away. At least that's the feeling I get when I think about him. But you know what I mean. I see him when I look at your beautiful babies too!
I love you and your family tons! Thanks for being YOU!!
Man, this gets me all emotional. Even though he is not here physically, he is still being a great dad. I bet he's proud of you every day, not just when you finish a race!
