Gavin and the Guitar

The other night we told Gavin to go and get his pajama's on. He was taking quite a while and Dallas went up to check on him and he was sitting on his bed "playing" his guitar singing "Had a bad day, take it down, sing a song, turn it around." Too cute! He is such a cute boy! Full of energy and sass but still cute!

Cute picture

I thought this was a really cute picture, I can't believe how tiny babies are!

GOT MILK??

Angel and the Devil

SEE!! Satan really does try to tempt us! This is Paisley and her "Evil Grandma" at a luncheon after Mindy, Alex and Echo were sealed together forever!!

Sleepy time with Paisley

I took a couple of picture of Paisley and Dallas today. They are just too cute! I'm so thankful for both of them! Paisley is such a pill to get to sleep so we have to dance around with her, or pat her constantly, or bounce her or do some sort of movement to get her to sleep, thankfully Dallas doesn't mind doing this although I think we fall asleep quicker than her while doing it! We went

over to my parents again tonight... I taught Bronson the "technique" of getting her to sleep and after so long of rocking and patting in sync he was dozing off too! Quite funny, although once you stop and she's not ready for you to she'll wake right up and the process begins again!

The King

No not Elvis.. thank goodness!! Just good ol' Gavin showing off his Burger King hat. He is such a poser, the camera comes out and he strikes a pose. These pictures were taken by the paparazzi (aka Grandma)

New Camera

Me and the Kids

Dallas bought me a new camera today! It is supposed to be for Mother's Day and my birthday but my old camera took one too many falls and is being held together by tape! I am so happy with the new camera! I played around with it for a little while today and took a few pictures! We didn't do a whole lot today, we did go over to my parents house again, their going on a cruise next Tuesday, who know what we'll do every night when they are gone!! :)

Bouncer Chair

We put Paisley in her bouncer and she seemed to like it today, she reached up and hit the toys a couple of times! She's so smart! Ha ha ha!! I also took a couple pictures of Dallas and her together cute!

Blanket from Aunt Debbie & Uncle Buddy

Blankie Baby! Thank you Aunt Debbie, Uncle Buddy, Bree and Elder Benson :) for this special blanket for Paisley! They had this embroidered for her with her name and her birthday and also had I am a child of God written on it. Its so cute and so soft!!

Thanks so much!!

Paisley Smiles

Nothing new or exciting to report so I thought I'd put up a couple pictures of the smiling princess!! She is full of them! Gavin absolutely loves his little sister! He calls her sweetheart or Sister Bear (I told my mom that my kids look like the Bearenstien Bears from the side... Really they do!!) Its cute to watch him with her!

Happy 1st Birthday Arentino

Arentino Gene Schmidt

Victor and Lysh's little guy turned 1 on February 13th! I can't believe how quickly time flew by. Arentino's birthday party was today along with Victor's (his birthday is on the 27th) He dug (very carefully) into the cake and got green and black frosting all over his face it was cute! here are a couple of pictures!

The CPAP to the Rescue!!

CPAP PARTY!!

Dallas went and picked up his CPAP machine today, you would have thought he won the lottery! He was so excited to show everyone and we all had to try it on of course and make it a big event! We even got Mom to try it on with her hair rollers in what a sport!! They showed Dallas the results from his overnight study and it showed he stopped breathing more than 10 seconds 45 times in an hour, SCARY! He was telling me this and my Mom said, "and you're sleeping right next to him complaining about the snoring!!" Dang right I am... If someone snoring next to you was rattling your brain you'd be complaining too. So I guess the mask is supposed to make it so that his throat doesn't collapse because of it being "floppy" (YUCK) and make it so he doesn't snore so hopefully the nights of snoring will be over, at least they better be!! I put the mask on and it felt like I was speeding down the freeway with my head out the window, my cheeks even puffed up... good luck to Dallas I think I'd choke!! Gavin told Dallas he wanted to wear his "elephant mask" so he even got in on the action!

Uncle Bronson and Paisley

I had to get pictures of this!! Bronson getting Paisley ready for the day! CUTE!! He'll be leaving on his mission to Switzerland April 9th, I've got to savor every moment he's still close by!! And take a picture of everything too!! Now if I can only make him change her diaper..... hmmm???

Karaoke at the Schmidt

Singing their hearts out!!

Yes that's right karaoke!! Can you believe it! Dad bought a karaoke machine and several thousand songs so we can sing our nights away! They always say if you sing that means you are happy! Our family must be on cloud 9! (Although Bronson and Dad have surpassed us into oblivion of happiness with their singing till 3 in the morning!!) Breanna came up from Cedar City for Paisley's blessing and then we talked her into coming up this weekend of course we had to get her in on the action, but she was a natural!! Here are a few pictures of the events!! ha ha

The Back up Dancers.... or so they think!!!
