Happy Halloween

The three older kids are passed the festivities of Trunk or Treat at the church and Trick or Treating.  That is why they didn't make it into the pictures:)  These three had a great time. 

 Note to self:
  Tootsie Pops make for one content baby for about 20-30 minutes.
  Of course everything is a sticky mess, but sooo worth it.

The Cowgirl

In other related news, I did win two awards at the Trunk or Treat.  I won "Best Candy in Trunk" and "Scariest Family Car".  Oh yeah!  I won a hershey's bar and a few balloons.
  The Young Women were the judges and since I am in theYoung Womens presidency, they might have felt slightly inclined to go with me.  That's my girls:)

Happy Halloween from ours to yours!

The official pictures

Finally got all of the kid's pictures taken. 
Quite a feat I might add when there is six of them. 
 So I just wanted to share them.
Now I just need one of them all together:)

Happy Anniversary

Today is our 10 year anniversary.  This is the picture you get to enjoy since we have no pictures together ever!  That's ok. 


I love this man like crazy.
  I can't wait to see him everyday after work. 
My heart still jumps when I hear him come in. 
I don't want that to ever change. 
 Next week we are planning a little one night getaway and maybe we will have someone snap a shot of us actually together:)
 I have truly been blessed with this man.
I cannot wait to spend eternity with him.

The Adventures of Sophie

Oh....the daily adventures of Sophie Mae Schramm.  She keep ALL of us on our toes.  Well, mostly me.
"I can finally reach the napkin drawer....now what do I do with them?"


"Ok, I thought this would be a little more comfortable."


"Where is the food?"


"Oh goody, they left out the cooler.  I'll just tip it over and crawl on in."


"Perfect fit."




 "That looks yummy.  One of these days I am going to try it when my mom isn't looking."



"Finally, someone left the bathroom door open."

"I'll just smile and then I can get away with anything!"


"Maybe if my mom put some clothes on me, I wouldn't be forced to cover up with toilet paper."
I love this baby.  She brings happiness everywhere she goes.  Not a single day goes by  that I don't rejoice that she is here with us.  My heart still aches and tears fill my eyes every time I hear sirens and see firetrucks go by.  I am transported to that day we almost lost her.  And now...her she is.  18 months old and taking on the world.  Life is good.
