Leah's a Peaha

I"m so excited I could shout it from the roof tops.... or atleast out the front door down to Danielle's house.

Houston we have Pee Pee in the Potty

Saturday, Januray 17, 2009

Leah finally went to the bathroom on her potty chair! We've been talking about it, and trying to, and I was begining to think we were going to be sending her to college in Depends,

but she did it! All by herself even.

Now if we can just get her to do it again!!!

I actually thought about taking a picture,

but spared you all the pain of seeing my daughter's first pee!

Getting ready for Christmas

Well we went to go get our Tree on Saturday. Every year we set out to cut down our very own beautiful Christmas tree. We bundle the kids up, drive out to the farm, trapse through the field looking for THE BEST tree. That's what we plan to do, yet every year there are always tears, fights about which tree to get, please about having to go to the bathroom, whinine about being too cold. Yet every year we forget about the previous year and head out to do it all over again. I guess that's what holiday memories are made of...

The boys looking to cut down the perfect tree..

Alex, Our nephew Garrett, Ethan, & Theo

Leah AKA the pink diva on the sleigh

Ok so I got these two snap shots in before the melt downs started to happen. Shortly after this one Leah & Ethan & I ended up in the truck watching Cinderella II and Theo and the older boys wandered around for awhile and then the boys decided it was too cold. So they climbed in the truck too. After about 20 minutes I decided "This is stupid" and I called Theo on his cell phone andtold him he was on his own.

He's putting the light on the tree as I write this and once we get it decorated I'll take pictures so you can all see Theo's hard work...

Halloween pictures

What do a Ninja, Blues Clues, and Stephanie from Lazy Town all have in common?

Nothing but this picture!

I'm a Corny Pink Haired lady

How cute is this little puppy dog!

He's a little scary! But her had so much fun and got a tons of candy!

The reason that Dentists stay in business!!

Oh what a month it's been!

Ok so the month of October is shaping up to be an even crazier month than the last! I know it's hard to imagine anymore Caos in my house, but we gained 2 teenage girls at the end of September, My Nieces Hannah (15) and Madison (14) I went from Trying to potty train to homecoming and Volleyball games!!!
Here is Madison all dressed up ready to go to her FIRST homecoming Dance. I'll give you a moment to think about where your first high school dance, the dress, the hair, the boy.... ahhh ... It's hard to imagine that she'll look back at this picture in 20 years and say OMG what am I wearing and what is with the hair!!!

Here is Hannah at her last home Volleyball game. She's 6'1" so she's a natural!

The other team HATES when she's in front ready to spike it in their teeth!

It's been VERY interseting having teenagers in the house. My father's words have been coming out of my mouth a little more than I'm probably willing to admit. I remember thinking he had NO IDEA what he was talking about, and now I'm think the man is a whole lot smarter than I could've ever imagined! But even with the Caos, and the tight living quarters, I'm glad the girls have been able to take refuge at our house. THings have been kinda rough in their lives over the last few months, so keep them in your prayers!

But we did manage to carve out some SchmierneyFamily time and made our annual visit to Circle S farms. Here we are on the Hay ride. We did all our usual favorites; sliding into piles of hay, Pumpkin donuts (My favorite) the bales of straw maze and ofcourse, picking out the perfect Pumpkin.

Leah wanted a "Little bit Tiny" and Alex wanted "The Biggest One I can carry" and Ethan, being Ethan, was just along for the ride!! I love how mellow that little man is! Especially compared to the older two! They certainly have their own opinion about things and they are usually the exact opposite of each other!

We are Looking forward to Trick or Treat! We've got all the kids costumes figured out, now if we can just get them to wear them!!! Pictures to follow!!!

Leah meets her idol

Well it finally happened, Leah met Dora yesterday at the Columbus Zoo!

We were all soooo excited!
