Growing up

Paisley is 4 months already... time sure does fly by!! She is so much fun! Her personality is really starting to come out! She is full of smiles and is starting to laugh, it so much fun to have her in our home! Gavin is still in love with his sister! He LOVES to kiss her and hug her and clap her hands and wiggle her feet when she is a sleep, very convienent I tell you! We've started feeding her rice, the Dr said to try it out and see if it helps make it so she doesn't throw up as much... so far she is doing better, we'll keep our fingers crossed!! Here are a few pictures of "Sister Bear" we are sure lucky to have her!

Gavin's scooter tragedy!!

We all went over to my parents house and we brought Gavin's scooter with that Grandpa and Grandma Schmidt gave him for Christmas. We figured it was nice enough outside that he could try it out since it doesn't work too well in snow!! So we went over and Gavin was SUPER excited! We brought his helmet... ya we know our boy!! And away he went. My Mom was out with the camera of course and was sitting on the steps to the house and Dallas was standing by the car taking pictures with our camera, Gavin was SO pre-occupied by striking a pose or making sure he gave us good photo opps that next thing we know he has fallen and then is screaming bloody murder. I was sitting next to Mom and Gavin turned and his hand was covering what looked like his eye, I ran over to him although I was a bit scared in case it was his eye, I don't know that I'm capable of dealing with eye wounds! Luckily it was his nose and cheek. I carried him inside and he was saying "this is awful" and "this is NOT the best day of my life" ha ha ha!! We got him all cleaned up and put the magical bandaids on and he was okay!! Luckily!! Anyways here are the pictures we got before the tragedy!!

Evil Grandma is 50!!!

We had a 50th birthday party for Dallas' mom Malynn at our house yesterday. We decorated the house with a bunch of black balloons and had a cake made for her. It was quite the day! Dallas and I bought her her first pack of Denpends!! AWWW.. I know we are just too sweet! After everyone was gone she kindly modeled them on for us ha ha ha!! Happy Birthday Evil Grandma!!

Elder Bronson Dane Schmidt

Yesterday we took my brother Bronson to the MTC. It was a bitter sweet day. Bronson recieved his mission call back in December and has been called to serve in the Geneva Switzerland mission. I kept telling him to delay turning in his papers so that he would be able to see my little Paisley before he left on his mission. Not only did he get to see her but he got to spend 4 months with her. I am very thankful for that, I know its selfish but hey!! Four months later there we were dropping him off and saying our goodbyes. He is such a great guy and will come back an even better one!! Bronson will be in the MTC until June, he will be learning the French language. I'll keep the updates coming on him when I recieve any!! Here are some of the pictures from yesterday.

Because I have a big brother I'll always have a friend

I have to take a minute and just say how extremely cute Gavin is with his sister. He has just been so sweet to her (minus the one smack to the head) he will wake up and come in just to tell his sister Goodmorning. He rarely calls her by her name instead it is replaced by sweetheart or Sister Bear, or Beautiful. Its so cute to watch him with her, sometimes when she cries he'll get to her and say its okay, your Big Brother is here. Anyways I just thought I'd share this, its just too cute!

KINDERGARTEN?????

Well if you can believe it I am old enough to be registering my kid for Kindergarten... Dallas maybe but not ME!! I can't believe it! I called Gavin's school to see if I could get the info sent to me and instead of hearing that they would they told me registration is on Friday the 14th at 2:15pm. I just can't believe it. I actually have kinda mixed feelings about it, I know it'll be good for him and a GREAT break for me, but I am never really away from him that often. I told him that he has to get 5 shots before going to school (OUCH) he wasn't too happy about that but I'm sure he'll get over it, he's so excited about going! I will definately have to write about the whole registration experience!

Skittle Bowling

Dallas and I went on a double date with our friend Nick and my cousin Breanna. We had so much fun. Dallas' Mom took Gavin so we just had Paisley. We ate at Cafe Rio which was pretty good and then went bowling. Nick came up with the idea to do Skittle bowling it was a lot of fun! What you do is get a bag of skittles (a 41 oz bag isn't necessary but Nick needed a snack for Church the next day ha ha) anyways before you start to bowl you decide a way you have to bowl with each color. For example this is what we did... Red meant you had to roll the ball with your foot, Green meant you had to bowl standing on one foot, Yellow was left handed, Orange was backwards between your legs and then Purple was regular. The bowling alley we went to had cosmic bowling while we were there too and had red laser beams going everywhere. Nick made one of them hit right on his nose he looked like Rudolph so we all did, even Paisley. Then he had it on his finger like ET pretty funny.... needless to say we had a blast!!

Aunt Mindy and Paisley

Mindy came over the other day and I had her get Paisley dressed! She had a good time.. at least I think she did!! Except for when she asked Paisley to "give me your leg" she did pretty good! ha ha!!
