The Simple Things in Life

I was just thinking about the simple things in life that make us happy, and thought I could just watch my girls and could experience those fun things again through them!

Like playing in the sprinklers!!

Sacremento Here We Come

We decided that we needed to get away for the weekend and go visit my brother and his family in their new house! And while we were there we also decided to take the girls to Fairytale Town.

They LOVED IT!!

We had so much fun getting to visit, all the other pictures were taken with my phone, but what you don't see is the awesome pool that is in my brothers back yard that the girls lived in while we were there!! One of these days I will learn how to get my phone pictures on my computer!!

Dance Performance

Madison had her Spring Dance Performance again! They were the pinwheel fairies!
She was so excited!! Not that you can tell by the crossed arms but she just gets REALLY shy with all those people!

Her class was so cute!

She did such a great job!!

In the end I think she was almost more excited about getting the flowers then the performance, not quite but almost!!

Schmidtlein Reunion

For the first time we had a Schmidtlein Reunion or maybe its just the first I've been to. Either way we went up to Kingston and went camping. The funny part was not one of the people there had the last name of Schmidltein, there were a lot with the middle name but not last. From our family Brya and I and our families were the only ones able to go so ALL the boys carrying the name were not there!
The main reason for us going there was to clean and fix up my Nana and Papa's grave, it was nice for the kids to get to see the graves and get to help with the cleaning!

My Uncle Don made a fence to go around all the family graves and it really turned out nice!! He is very skilled!

The girls had tons of fun playing with all their cousins and it was great for the adults to get reacquainted!! It had been since my sophomore year in high school since I had seen some of my cousins!!

Here's Brad working hard or hardly working whichever you prefer!!

Emma really did have fun contrary to this fit!!

Preschool Play

In Madison's preschool at the end of the year they put on a little play.

Madison was the ButtercupBilly, buttercup, caterpillar, and the rose
Always willing to pose!!

Mrs. Stark (Aunt Janet) and Madison.

Madison had SO much fun in preschool this year, she was very worried about not seeing Mrs. Stark again, but fortunately we have the family tie so she can keep seeing her!!

Field Trip

Today was Madison's last field trip for preschool!!
And they went to the Firehouse!! After watching a video they actually got to see the trucks go out on a call which was pretty cool! Well for the kids to see not for the person's house that was on fire, but everyone was ok so it wasn't too bad!

They had so much fun!

A new addition

I figured I should finally post that we are going to have another addition to our family!

We just found out last week that it is going to be a GIRL!!!

We are all very excited! Especially Emma who kept saying she wanted a sister! Madison wanted a boy but is now excited about a girl! She actually informed the doctor it was a boy after he told us it was a girl.

This one was all on our own!! We actually did 8 months of Fertility last year and even did artificial insemination with no luck. At that point we decided to take a brake and then 6 months later found out we did it on our own!!

We are open to suggestions for names, or I should say I am, Brad has a name picked out already and I'm not ready to commit!!
