Nana and Grandpa Steve

My parents came this week and we just had fun, fun, fun!!

(oh, and the pic of my mom is not distorted...she is a skinny little twig!!)

Summer Fun

So, we have been going to our pool quite a bit lately......so yesterday we changed it up for our afternoon fun.





(yes, Jack is playing with the hose and yes, he has the greatest baby mullet you have ever seen..I keep calling Cookie Cutters to get it cut, but can't seem to pull the trigger)

Just pics

Just pics today.

(I am pretty sure I have bloggers block)

(Oh, and Jack is obsessed with wearing any type of hat)

Bundle of Joy

Ok, now...this was a little over a year ago...well, December 26, 2006.
(We have myself--pregnant, holding Cora, and Momma Lena).



Now.....today......

There is another Hoeflicker to add to the bunch!

Little "Q" was born this morning at 12:30 am weighing 6 lbs 13.5 oz and 20 inches long.

SHE IS PRECIOUS!! I seriously cannot believe Jack was that small, although we do have the pics to prove it.

Congratulations Cody, Lena, and Cora! We love you guys!

Mr. 16 months.....

This is what we are currently doing....(it is funny....he already had a nap, but he has been laying like this for a couple of minutes...)


But, the Jackster has been busy with bubbles and family for the past 16 months.
(I know, I know....these pictures were actually from Labor Day last year....I just thought it they were cool)

Shout out

This is very unlike my usual posts....but I just wanted to send a shout OUT to my sissie and all of the other girlies working 7P to 7A...I could never stay up that late!!!!

(Jack and I are smiling because we get to go to bed soon)

More firsts.....

The first picture of KDS photography that I have ever posted on my blog. (Kate you are fantastic!!!!)




The first time Ollie woke up at our house and didn't cry. (we now watch Oliver on Fridays when his mommy works...fun times).







The first time that the boys went hiking together to spend some quality time in Arkansas. (Andrew actually had this whole week off and it was the first time we ever stayed home. We were going to take a cruise...but, nevermind....)





The first time Andrew got to go to the zoo with all of the Schmickles--meaning, nephews, nieces, Kate, Jack, and myself.









The first time that I walked into our playroom and something was coming out of Jack's diaper and was on our carpet. (I do not ever want to talk about that one...) (however, it was all properly cleaned up).
