September 2021

 These years being parents sure do fly by and keep life crazy and fun!  There for real is never a dull moment.  It is crazy to think of how they will be a memory sooner than I'd like.  So, we will savor the moments and thank God for the blessings he has provided us with!

State fair fun with the family!  Love that we have this opportunity right here in GI.




Dinner group kiddos!  They are growing up so much:)

Labor Day fun with the Schu Crew! 

Lookin for some doves :). I love Joden's personality!

Tailgating fun with 2/3 of our book club group!  It was sweaty, but a super good time:)

Love that the Schu Crew joined us!

We have a football player in the house!  It is weird, but I am here for it!  He has played mostly the B team.  We are so proud of how he has been a leader and a hard worker out there.  Excited to see what the future holds!



We have a new niece, miss Quinn.  We got to watch Blair for the night while mom, dad, and new sister were at the hospital.  She was great!



 

Fun with Miss Reeve.  We watched the GISH volleyball team and also had a quick happy hour date at Kinkaider!  Love spending time with my kiddos.

Finished up our book club with a meal at Wasabi and lots of good convo!  Super grateful God led me to this group of women this summer!


Went to a past co-workers wedding out by the river near Central City!  It was a fun evening with my man.  I think we were home by 10:30 :)

Went to The Little Mermaid to watch my niece Delayna.  It was a fun show and glad we were able to go watch her:)

Always enjoy capturing my students and what they are doing!

So, two random issues in the Schumacher house.  I have a random rash under my arms on the outer side--who knows why?!?  Then Joden was at gymnastics when he somehow got something in his eye.  I knew it was not good when he called me crying as he never really cries anymore.  Long story short he had something underneath his eyelid.  So, for two hours he kept rubbing his eye which scratched his cornea.  She said luckily he will be back to normal in 24 hours.  

My dad taught me to love food, which is good and bad-ha!  I love when meals look like artwork and find it fun to take pictures of it.  


Well there is always a first time for everything!  Last weekend I ran my first ever Market to Market.  Let's just say I have room for growth.  My first two legs were great with an 8 1/2 minute mile average.  On my final leg though my right knee was hurting.  It was the band or tendon on the inside and outside of my knee.  Never in my life have I had this issue.  So weird.  I am guessing it was the hills and running on larger rocks that were on those gravel roads.  I want to run again to redeem myself :). All in all it was a great day and I really enjoyed my team!

Hair cut and color time!  Reeve was so excited to cut her hair off quite a bit:).  Love her zest for life!

August 2021

 August was a good month in more ways than 1!  

 
Dance open house and football practice kicked off the month and made us excited for the year to come!
First day of school!  I am in my 15th year, Joden is a 7th grader, and Reeve is a 5th grader.  
Joden begged us to do football and gymnastics, which is a lot at one time.  On Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, he goes from football practice straight to gymnastics.  He has rocked it and does not complain at all.  So, DQ blizzard it is!
Mike is leasing a new hunting property this year that is right on the river.  He has taken on cat fishing with lines that he typically leaves overnight.  They have caught some and have had some fun:). Love how much this guy has taught the kiddos to love the outdoors!

Dinner date with some dear friends to chat about the Utah hiking trip.  Leah came down with a bad headache so they couldn't make it.  We decided not to chat about Utah and do dinner again so we could catch up with the Michels:)
Well we finally decided to put in two sump pumps and a beaver system.  After getting quotes in the $20,000 range.  Mike decided he would take it on himself.  It has been quite the task, but super grateful for Mike's skillsets to do so!
Love getting my nails done:)
Brewfest is always a good time!  
Mike and I celebrated his birthday downtown with a few drinks and dinner.  Kids had activities, so it was pretty low key and simple, but grateful we got to spend time together!
This summer these gals and I have done a book club together with the book Mama Bear Apologetics.  God definitely led us together and it has felt oh so good!  Lots of great conversations with these ladies and deepened relationships.
Leslie Wolfe reached out to us ladies to run in the state fair marathon relay with her and we had a blast!  We even got first out of 11 women's teams.  Also, got lots of comments on our tanks!  Love like Jesus:)

Halpines did not get to join us on the postponed Mexico trip, so we met up out at their place for some fun on the lake!  It was such a great time:)

State fair fun with friends!
We have a new family member-baby Mary "Quinn" has arrived!  WE are in love:)

Blair got to stay the night while mom and dad were in the hospital!  So grateful they live here with us in GI and look forward to all the memories to come:)

Children are a gift from the Lord. They are a reward from Him.
