Baby Maxwell is here

2010-11-03T14:57:00.000-07:00

On October 3rd at 3:15 am little Maxwell Dean Schnepf was born. He was 8 lbs. 2 oz. and was 20 inches long. He has dark brown hair and blue eyes. He has two little dimples on his chin and above his mouth. He is so beautiful and precious.There is just Something about little boys and their mommy's. He just melts my heart. He was stubborn like his daddy and was born face up which made things a little tricky, but he made it here and that's what is important. Jer and I are so thankful to have him in our home and we just love the peace and spirit that comes with a little angel from heaven. Samara and Kate love to hold him on their laps and tickle his little footsies as Samara calls them. Kate calls him her baby and both girls are so helpful and always making him happy. Here are a bunch of pictures to enjoy that Darby took. So I guess as our Dr. says " we are playing zone and not man on man anymore". I am already realizing how much work three little ones are, but they are worth it.

I love my cousins and friends

Happy BIrthday to our little Princess Samara! She had a princess party and invited all her favorite people. A princess bounce house was the hit of the party along with a yummy strawberry cake Aunt Necia and mom made and of course all her family and friends that came to see her. She still talks about her party four months later. We love her and all the sweetness she adds to our lives.

More Christmas in Review

2010-02-02T12:45:00.000-08:00

So we spent Christmas at home this year and is was so fun to just be home and enjoy the girls on Christmas morning. They were adorable and their eyes so bright with excitement to see what exactly Santa was all about and to open all their presents. It is so fun to spoil your kids. They had a my little pony Christmas and played with all their toys all day. We had a yummy breakfast, Jer made crepes and little smokies are a tradition. Later that day we headed to the Martineau home to play with all the ride on toys. Mom made a delicious Thanksgiving dinner and we all played games. On Christmas eve day we all had a gingerbread house decorating contest and they all turned out so different, it was so much fun. The little kids ate so much candy and Jer and I had fun watching the candy on our roof constantly slide off because we used to much marshmello cream. Later that night we had dinner, acted out the Christmas story of the Baby Jesus birth and had a cousins gift exchange. I love all the traditions and family parties the holidays bring, but it is always nice to sit back and think about the true meaning of Christmas. Our little family is so blessed to have the truthfulness of the gospel to guide our lives.

Houses from top to bottom are the Martineau farm, The Ralph beach bungalo, The Guthrie nut house, The Simon haunted house and the we did Santa's love shack. Sorry Time and Parker I didn't get a picture of your Buy More store from Chuck.

Christmas in Review

2010-01-31T20:08:00.000-08:00

So Christmas in 2009 was nice and relaxing. We went to Show Low a week before and celebrated with my family. Some of the festivities included a yummy Christmas dinner, a gift exchange, reading Luke 2, matching jammies from Grandma, lots of treats, warm fires, and this year we all played games and kicked back in the new play room. It fit us all and watching movies in there was extra fun with Dad's surround sound. ( it was better than the theatre Dad) I will just post a lot of pictures because they tell it best.

Playing Catchup

Mine & Samara's Preschool class celebrating Thanksgiving as cute little indians

The sweetest fairy princesses around!

I can't believe another year has come and gone. Time really flys when you are raising little ones. I feel like I am always playing catch up with my blog. So here goes. I wanted to post a little about the holidays I missed and then get up to date with what's going on right now. Halloween 2009 was all about tutu's, and wings. We had two little fairy princesses and they were really cute all dressed up. We had a fun Halloween Party with Samara's preschool class and they all loved the fishing pond and the donuts on a string. We went trick or treating in Nanna and Bompie's neighborhood after we celebrated Jack's 2nd birthday at the Guthries. I always love the home made root beer! YUMMO! Jer didn't feel good that night so he hung out while I took the girls to get candy and Samara loved it! She didn't want to stop even after we had walked two streets. We continued on our tradition of going to eat dinner at Oregano's after getting filled up on candy and we had a leaf blower for a waiter.

Thanksgiving was nice and relaxing. We headed over to Andee and Scott's to share our feast with the Schnepf side of the family. This was a first for me and was a lot of fun. If was a beautiful day and we all ate outside. Jer made his yummy rolls and he makes them half wheat half white now just for me.( one of these days he might make all whole wheat just for me) anyway I am very thankful for my Jeremy. He is wonderful and I appreciate his kindness and love. I am so blessed to have two beautiful girls Samara and Kate. They are little angles here on earth and that I am lucky to raise. Life is so Fun and so are the Holidays!

Pretty Britty Boutique

2009-10-20T21:56:00.000-07:00

The boutique was a huge success and so much fun! All the hard work advertising paid off and we sold and sold and sold cute stuff for two days. I wanted to thank all the sellers and also my family for all of their help, Shelly and I couldn't have done it without you! I can't wait until next year! Dad, Mom and Jer stayed up late helping me set up and put tags on my 300 bows. Jeremy made yummy cinnamon rolls and my mother-in-law Terry was there with two of the Fat sisters Jojo and Myrna selling their cook books not to mention their to die for gingersnaps! If you missed out on the boutique, but still would like some bows just call me or check out my etsy shop prettybrittyboutique.etsy.com. Another seller was Ashley and she has super cute stuff at her shop ( hazeljayne.etsy.com). Zack had some sassy fun jewelry made of dominos and other neat stones. His site is mancrafts.blogspot.com.

Kara looked so cute in her hat!
Katie Pie just couldn't stay awake for the fireworks.
Our little alarm clock went off at 5:00 am and so we started our fourth of July bright and early. SInce Jer and I were up we went with Mom, Ams, DJ and baby Kate to set up the big shade and chairs that would reserve our spot in front of Asia Gardens for the big parade in Show Low. We then headed down to the little Show Low park where Dad was making gravy for the biscuit and gravy breakfast. It was yummy! Next we got all the little ones dressed with the fourth of July bows Aunt Necia made and they all looked so patriotic. The best part of the parade was either the belly dancers, or the guy on the bobcat doing wheelies and tricks.( He must of had a lot of down time at work, but it was impressive!) Samara had 4 dum dum suckers, 1 bag of cookies, 1 ottter pop, some tootsie rolls and a box of nerds by the time we got home for lunch. I think she loves the fourth as much as her mom. She was so sticky and covered in candy drool. Oh and I forgot to mention the hot little red candy she spit out after she said "HOT Mommy Hot! "After naps we went to visit Grandpa Pew and I think he loved the big slice of jello cake I left him. Then we headed down to Aunt Ginna's and Uncle Farrell's for a yummy BBQ, a sweet game of volley ball and some spectacular fire works. ( my favorite) I don't think I can wait a whole year for another super fun volley ball game. Our team rocked!! Chase, Jer, Caden, Brenda, Me, and Trevor. Go Team!! I love and am so thankful for the blessing of freedom we have in this wonderful country. I always get chills when the flag goes by during the parade and everyone stands and puts their hand over their heart taking a moment to remember what it stands for. We are so lucky to be able to worship and celebrate how we want. I am so grateful for all who have fought for our country and I love the patriotism I feel when I am in a small town to celebrate this great day. It is my favorite Holiday!

Fun on the Fourth!

Mommy and Samara
Granddad was dreaming of his cows.
Chet, Shelly and Little Lanie

We just got back from such a sweet weekend with my family. On Friday we all packed up the truck and Tahoe and headed to Black River. If you have never been there it is on the reservation about 2 and a half hours from Show Low. We drove about 17 miles on this little dirt road that gets really bumpy and steep as it winds it's way up the mountain and then back down to the river. We pulled into a beautiful spot with a sand bank and two rope swings tied to a huge tree over the perfect swimming hole. The water was refreshing and the rapids were fun! Samara and Kate jumped in with Jer and I and we rafted and swam around for a while. Kate was splashing everyone and Samara was loving every minute in the water. Granna and Granddad, Aunt Bev, Uncle Tom, Ryan, Aunt Ginna, Uncle Farrell's family and ours were there. Ethan was the first in the water of course, so that means Amber was second. I don't think those two ever got out all day. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Jer's raft went flat as we went down these wimpy shallow rapids but mine stayed afloat. The guys caught tons and tons of fish and the babies ate tons and tons of rocks and dirt. The most exciting part of our trip was the ride home. It had rained a couple times throughout the day and left the road really muddy and slippery. As we started down the Tahoe began to slip every now and then and Kara and I started feeling a little sick to our stomachs. I kept thinking what will I do if we slip off the edge with five little ones 3 and under in the car. Needless to say we got through it with a few, a lot of prayers. Jer did great!! An exciting end to an exciting day!! Can't wait till next year!!

Girls Getaway!!

2009-04-20T14:27:00.000-07:00

I just got back from one of the most fun 3 days ever!! We had a girls getaway that started Wed. afternoon and ended Saturday afternoon. Mom, Ams, Me, Kara, Shelly, Brendz, Necia, baby Lanie, and baby Kyralynn were there. We stayed at the Scottsdale Links resort and had a scrapbookin good time. We bought WAY to much food at Costco and holed up in our rooms laughing, snacking, watching Emma, Star Dust, You've got mail, The wedding singer, and Austrailla while scrapbooking our fantastic lives away. Our first night on the town we ate at Oreganos and it was delish! We all had a little bite of everything ordered. You know we are close when we share our food!! Ha Ha! After Oregano's we went shopping and I wast so excited to find some cute new clothes at Nordstrom's Rack. Mom found me this cute green and white striped shirt I love. Thanks Mom!! She spoiled us all rotten the whole time. This whole getaway was Mom inspired. She lost 40 pounds since October 08 and this was a fun way to CELEBRATE!! We decided it is going to be an annual thing!! Thanks to all our hubbies and mother-in-laws who watched our little ones. You ROCK!! We ate at Cheescake factory on Friday night where we each ordered a little slice of heaven to go so we had something to help us stay up all night scrapping. It was sooooo tasty!! Necia was so cute when we got there, she was like a little kid in a candy shop. Now we all know her favorite dessert. After dinner we went shopping at an outdoor mall called Kierland Kommons. Amber found a sassy dress and Mom spoiled us and bought us all matching skirts at Ann Taylor Loft. We just had such a good time getting closer, and the spirit was so sweet the entire time. I am so greatfull for such sisters and sisters-in-laws and for such an amazing Mom who is such a peacemaker and makes us all fell so good all the time. Can't wait till next year!! Amber and I tied with 22 and a half pages scrapped. I'll beat you next year.

CHECK OUT THOSE BIKES!
THE FAN CLUB!!!
THEY ALL LEFT WITH SOME BLING!

Don't they look HOT in those STRETCHY PANTS! I can't believe the things our bodies will do. I am amazed by anyone who can ride a bike for 74 miles. The tour de Phoenix was this past Saturday and Jer, my Dad, Josh my bro-in-law, and my brother Chet woke up at 5:00 am, scarfed down some bananas, cliff bars and other fueling foods and headed for the starting line. They all did awesome and finished with Silver medals, oh but Chet is a stud and got Gold! Go Chet! I have to admit I was impressed with Jer, especially because he trained so hard to get ready for the race. Ha Ha, the first time he rode his bike in several months was to work and home the Monday before the race. He did Fantastic along with everyone else!! Enjoy the Pics!

Baby Bums!

2009-04-07T14:33:00.000-07:00

Mom's jacuzzi bathtub when you add a little shampoo becomes the BEST place ever for three little two yearolds. Samara, Ethan, and Marissa were so silly and cute when they took a bath together. Bubbles are super Fun, but it was even more fun laughing and snapping pictures of the chaos with my sisters, Mom and Granna. I can't wait to blow the bum shot up and hang it in my bathroom. Good Times!

Mickey Hair!!

2009-03-23T15:10:00.000-07:00

So I had to write this down before I forgot to. Yesterday as I was getting the girls ready for church Jer thought Kate's hair would look so cute in two little piggy tails up on top of her head, so I did them and put two cute little bows in. Samara came in the room and said "Mom! Kate- Mickey hair!! We all laughed really hard and thought it was so cute. She then said she wanted Mickey hair also. I guess she has been watching to much Mickey mouse clubhouse. Ha Ha She is talking so much and everyday Jer and I crack up at some of the things she says and the way she is learning to put words together.

Oh Katiepie you are so Cute!!

2009-03-01T10:29:00.001-08:00

2009-02-07T08:24:00.000-08:00

Our little Family! I can't believe how fast time goes. Kate is already 7 months old and Samara will be 2 in April. Craziness!!! I wish I could freeze time and keep them babies forever.

Grandma and Gramps with all their little grand kids. At least the two oldest are smiling.

Waiting for santa to come Christmas eve.

2009-02-03T20:59:00.000-08:00

Here are some more christmas pictures I wanted to post. Samara and Rissy were so cute reading together.

I wrote about the measuring stick and how much Samara loved to be measured!

BAA BAA what cute little sheep!!

Little Angel Rissy!!

The Nativity by the Adams Family

2009-01-27T14:29:00.000-08:00

The Garcia's made a great Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus while Amber, Trenton and I were the three Wise Men. Samara and Grandma made the cutest little sheep. Rissy, and Kara were angels with the help of Josh. Ty was a little cow and Ehtan was a horse being led by the shepherd Josh. Dad was the narrator. It was a sweet time.

2009-01-27T13:25:00.000-08:00

On Christmas Eve we had a yummy dinner. All the guys cooked the girls steaks and mine was sooooo yummy!! I always thought I could only eat WELL DONE, but now I know I love mine medium rare. (thanks Jer for giving me a taste of heaven!) After dinner it was time to start a few new traditions like Grandma and Grandpa measuring all the grand kids on the cute "Watch me Grow" stick Shelly painted. Grandpa then read the story of Baby Jesus found in Luke 2 while we all proceeded to act it out. Jeremy hid behind the camera!! (can you believe it?) Granna Adams and Amber sewed all the costumes and they were adorable and added so much fun to the evening. I loved it when Josh lifted little angel Marissa up high on his head as Dad read from the scriptures. .After that it was time to open fun new matching Jammies from Mom. The little blankets and Lambs were so sweet Mom. Samara sleeps with hers every night. Christmas morning was wonderful as we sat around the beautiful tree with the fire burning and the smell of excitement in the air. I couldn't help but think about how fortunate we are to have such a wonderful family that truly knows the true meaning of Christmas. It is so easy for me to get caught up in all the gifts to buy and the fun wrapping involved that it was good to sit and ponder what is really important. I am so grateful for my parents,husband, babies, and siblings and their families and the love we have for one another. I am also very thankful for my testimony of our savior Jesus Christ and a loving father in Heaven. Mom and Dad bought Samara and Rissy little ride on caterpillars. We went out to Grandpa Pew's and had lunch and opened presents and then we just relaxed and enjoyed the break and time together. It was Jer's first white Christmas and looked so beautiful. We spent New Year's with the Schnepf's out at Scott and Andee's new home. I will post some pictures later.

2009-01-27T12:45:00.000-08:00

Christmas and New Years Was so much fun this year! Beacuse I haven't written in so long I will post a bunch of fun pictures from the holidays! We went to Show Low to spend Christmas with my family this year and it was so fun to be there with everyone and all the new little babies. Brenda and D.J. were able to bring little KyraLynn down from Utah and even though she was quarentined to the back room of the house we stole a few pictures. She is beautiful and was born Nov. 4th I think? We took a few pictures of the girls in front of our Christmas tree before we headed up North. Jer and his little cuties in their Christmas dresses. Kate was a little grump grump in a few and Sissy was all smiles!!

A heart full of Thankfulness!!

Nanna, and the babies Kate, Kaleb,Becca, Darby, Meghan, and Ande

Our Little

Kate-O-Lantern!!

The Hot Dog cooks showed up with the cutest hot dog i've ever seen a "Lanie Dog" When they showed up at the Schnepf's Jarom yelled "Dad you have got to see this baby, it's the best costume ever!!

I am T-T-Tiggerriffic!!! I like to bounce and giggle and eat lots of candyriffic candy! Samara could'nt choose between Tigger and Pooh Bear so she was both. We had a fun week full of Halloween parties. It all started as we bounced over to the ward carnival and chili cookoff on Saturday where Sister Loftgreens cornbread is a new family favorite and where Samara helped herself to some chocolate cupcakes for the cake walk during the opening prayer. Next, we went to Nanna's to frost and EAT sugar cookies in the shape of pumpkins, bats, witches hats and ghosts cuz that's what Tiggers do best. That night was a blast at the block party where we bumped into Kami, Zac, Addie the princess and the 50's twins in poodle skirts and pony tails. It was so fun to see the Scanlans. I have decided for our family we will be regulars at that party from now on because got a rumbly in my tumbly for the cotton candy and grape snow cones that were delish! I was defiantly in my happy spot!! Jeremy took tiger to the fishing pond where she won some bubbles and then he bought his girls some jewlery the kind that glows in the dark. What a sweet Daddy and Husband. The next day was Thursday and I had a carnival at the park with my preschool class where Tigger had more chocolate cupcakes when Mom wasn't looking. Friday we headed to the Schnepf's to carve pumpkins. Jer carved a really scary skull on his. Everyone put on their costumes. Samara decided to be Winnie the Pooh and Kate was Piglet. We had our own Halloween parade on our way to Stacy and Eric's house for Jack's first birthday with Scott and Ande's Jedi nights, princess Leah, Tigger and Alli's horse, chicken, and pumpkin. Jer and Scott decided Eric put them to shame when he brought out the homemade pinatas that looked like jack-o-lanterns. Stacy made the cutest pumpkin cake and homemade rootbeer. Jer and I decided we needed to eat some more so we went to Oregano's where we had no wait at 7:00 on a Friday night and were greeted by a giant red tellatubby and Garth from Waynes World and served by Laura Croft who spilled a bowl of katsup all over me. It was good times with Winnie the Pooh and Piglet there. That was our Funeriffic Week!!

2008-10-20T12:48:00.000-07:00

I know you all are probably in shock right now because I have finally updated or I should say created a new blog. So throw that old site out and use this one. It was my new years goal to blog and I am proud to say I have accomplished my goal with two months and 11 days to spare. I promise to update at least once a month and share all the exciting things our family is up to.

On July 10th our little baby Kate was born. She is such a sweet heart and her big sissy Samara loves to give her kisses when she isn't pinching her toes. She was 8 lbs. 3oz. and a few days early. Our girls had a fun little photo shoot with Aunt Darby when Kate was about 2 months old.
