Austin, TX

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We had a great time in MN celebrating Thanksgiving and even starting Christmas! Both Miley and Cooper did amazing in the long car ride. So fun to see family, especially Molly, Kallie and Kamryn.

Happy Thanksgiving!

18 Months!

Our little man is now 1 1/2 years old today!! What a guy. He is really beginning to say more and more words. Cooper loves to do anything his sister does, even if that means putting on a skirt and twirling ;) We love you Cooper!

Baby

Baby we are getting really excited to meet you in March. We sure had a hard time getting a good profile picture of you because you were moving so much.

Fall Fun

Halloween Begins and Apple Picking

Oh August

Oh August....We are excited to see August come to a close. I have been pretty sick with baby (yes, for those of you who don't know, we're pregnant!!!), we had some upsetting news regarding future plans, I had a scare with baby and then I got in a car accident with both Miley and Cooper in the car. Praise God, we are all doing fine "no boo boos." Miley does say once in awhile "mommy, next time we bump in a car can you not cry."

We are excited that September is around the corner. We have fun plans to see family and the weather is getting so nice. I put a few pictures of our much needed getaway to Frankenmuth, MI and a few pics of the accident. We hope to get our van back at the end of the week.

July

Miley and Cooper both love playing in their pool....there is really not much more they can do outside in this heat.

Copper loves to crawl over and through everything. I have to "unstuck" him at least 3 times a day. Cooper managed to open the large pantry doors and some how crawl over the food items and ended up stuck (as you can see in the picture) in under a minute. Thankfully the shelf he is sitting on pulls out! I'm not sure if this is a good mommy reaction but I ran for the camera before pulling him out :)

Miley is loving learning her letters and how to write them. But her favorite thing to do is dance with music in a twirling dress. She tries dresses on all the time and then spins around to see if they have enough twirl. We spend at least 5 min. each morning convincing her that her dress has a nice twirl.

Pow Wow!!!!

After knowing Eric for over 10 years Eric finally made it to my town's festival, Pow Wow!! The weekend started off with Miss Mtn. Lake Pageant which was fun to bring Miley to. We then went to the baseball alumni game which my dad and brother played in.

Sunday morning started with pancakes in the park

Then there was church service in the park

The entire "Schroeder gang"

Eric played in the 3 on 3 basketball tournament which their team won their pool and got 2nd place over all (lost to my cousin's team)

The girls (and kids) walked in the road race


Eric finally got to try all the food at Pow Wow. Here he is eating his first pow wow pup

Miley and Molly were so cute


Miley LOVED all the rides

Loving the car ride

The parade is about to begin!

Awwww...what a great family

Waiting for more candy with daddy

Ended Pow Wow with Miley riding the Ferris Wheel with Gram Gram, Pa and Uncle Dusty. We have never seen her smile that big!!! What an amazing time we had!
