So Sweet

Baby Maxwell is here

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.

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

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

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!
