It's great to be 8!!

Ridger was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints this last weekend! He was so excited to be baptized and has been looking forward to this day for so long! Trevor baptized and confirmed him a member! It was such a great day! I am so proud of Ridger and the adorable boy he is! The next day in Primary they asked him how he felt after he was baptized. He answered, "WET!" Gotta love that cute kid!! Congrats Ridger on your baptism ! I am so proud to be your mommy!! xoxo

Bitter Sweet!

I am yet again amazed how quick time goes by. Today was the last time I will see Laura, Reagans birth mom for a long time. She is moving back to Texas to go to school and be with her family! I know she needs to move back and start on her new life, but I am so sad for her, and Reagan and I. I wish she could stay a little longer and watch Reagan grow! We love Laura so much and will eternally be grateful for the self-less, Christ like decision she made! It is my hope that she will quickly get into her new college life and start having tons of fun! She is an amazing young girl and will always be my hero!

Mount Rushmore and MORE!

We took a quick family vacation to Nebraska and South Dakota. We went with 6 other families and stayed in a huge house in Fort Robinson, Nebraska. The house had 2 sides. Each side had 3 levels, with 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, large dining room and large front room. The house was built in the early 1900s and was red brick with white trim and had a huge wrap around front porch (which Reagan and I spent a lot of time). The house was very old and hadn't been updated very much to keep the early 1900s feel. The fort had horses to ride, a huge indoor swim pool, a rodeo, crafts, tennis and basketball courts and a huge grassy area where the kids played football, baseball and lacrosse.

One day we traveled into South Dakota and went to Mount Rushmore. It was such an amazing day. Mount Rushmore was incredible and we had so much fun hanging out and shopping in the little town of Keystone. The kids had so much fun and the Black Hills area was so beautiful! The kids were all so good and had a blast! It was such a memroable vacation and I'm so grateful to have such great friends to travel with!

1 month!!

Wow!! Has it really been 1 month? What an amazing month it has been! Reagan Skye came into our lives and has stolen every person in our families heart! Words can't even express the love we have for this beautiful little blessing!

Happy Easter 2011

Annual Schenck Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza!!!!

We had our "annual pumpkin carving party" last night with the Schenck side of the family!! The kids had a lot of fun! Rylee carved her pumpkin with the New York Yankees logo! River carved his with a snowboarder on the front! Ryker did a "U" for U of U. Ridger carved a traditional pumpkin face. I made a peace sign, heart and "S"...for PEACE LOVE and SCHENCKS! And Trevor made a WSU pumpkin! We had a great time with the whole family!!

Fire Station Field Trip!

Ridger's first grade class went on a field trip to the fire station!! It was so cute! They walked across the street to the fire station and went on a tour of the fire station! They learned what to do if there is a fire in your home and not to be afraid of the firemen with all their equipment on. Then each child got to get inside the fire truck. It was so cute! I'm so grateful I was able to go and spend some time with Ridger, his cute class, and cute teacher!
