Happy Birthday to Our Little Man

4 years ago our little man was the center of our lives
time stopped while he was here with us
and it has flown by ever since he left.

when we had the Schanz family reunion it was bittersweet to see the three boys
also born that year now all grown up, playing cowboys and guns

Here are some memories of our Carter

Love you Carter!

Little Red Riding Hood

Miss Megan: 6 months

Miss Addison: 6 months

Meggie

Addi

25

So I turned 25 a few days ago
pretty uneventful day
the zoo
naps
bowling
a milkshake
but it was a great day :)
A quarter of a century old.......
The past five years have seemed to fly by, I don't know what it is about time that makes
it go faster the older you are, but I don't think I like it.
My babies are getting so big and make laugh everyday!
Happy Birthday

Blast Off

Another adventure with our cousins at Blast Off. They have awesome ball pits,
slides, tunnels and a 'make believe land' with dress up toys

Super cute princesses

The lighting in there is terrible for pictures so they are either blurry or dark.......what can you do?

Can you see the dads in the background, chatting it up?

If you look closely at Megan you can see how high that slide bounces
her off of the floor when she lands....hilarious

Before the jump

and after the jump

We sure had a blast!

Rigby Lake

Now that Casey is out of school and hasn't started working yet it is
play time!!

We decided to hit up Rigby Lake one afternoon
and happened to run into Casey's sister and her little girl

The girls loved to play in the sand

Even Addison :)

Casey's weird face, that's a cool slide in the background but we
were all too chicken to swim out there and try it......the water was pretty cold :)

A fun day!

Fondant!!

OK, no laughing......










well maybe you can laugh a little.....








What is it you ask?
My first ever attempt at covering a cake with fondant

This is what happens when I try to get creative
without following someone else's plans....
weird rectangles that look like cheese

But it was much easier than I thought it would be and a lot of fun!

Here is Meggie's creation.....

I have no idea where that face came from...

Seriously?

As I'm dusting the bookshelf I notice a lot of "sawdust"
and I think, 'what the?'
So I pull this one from the bottom of the pile and notice in the bottom left corner......
a bug
a dead bug
.....
he had eaten my book!

What kind of a bug eats books?

At least it only made it about an inch before keeling over,
apparently Tennyson is poisonous
