It's Christmas Time!

We had fun decorating the tree and getting ready for christmas this year!

Thanksgiving in Boise

1 little Indian

I sent Natalia on the bus this morning and a cute little Indian came off the bus this afternoon.She has such a fun teacher and she is loving kindergarten

Never take a bath with a 2 year old boy

He cracks me up. Right after I took this picture I decided to take a nice relaxing bath.It was one of those mornings. In comes Gavin Naked and ready to dive in. At first I was going to kick him out but he seemed so excited, so I thought fine whatever.Then I start seeing little poop particles coming up to the surface of the water.As you can imagine there was a pretty quick evacuation.After draining and cleaning the tub out I refilled the water and we tried it again. For some reason he took an interest to my chest and said he wanted a drink.(He has seen that I nurse Cambree)Wow...how do you explain that one? After convincing him that it was only for babies I decided to close my eyes and try to relax. Next thing I know he has my foot file and started filing my lips.Ouch!That drew the line...never again!As cute as he is...he can be a little monster sometimes.

6 months old now!

Cambree is 6 months old. She is a little jibber jabber,and she loves to be right where the action is.She does not like to be alone unless she is going to sleep. She is completely content sitting in her little pod chair so we just set her in it wherever we are. This makes it difficult to get her floor time (which she does not like unless we are down on the floor playing with her.) She loves to laugh and play.She is a very happy girl and very cuddly.We love you Cambree!

Swine Flu hits the Schwabs

Saturday morning Gavin crawled in bed with us and fell back to sleep. Throughout the rest of the morning he was pretty low key and quiet.He hadn't felt well with an on and off fever throughout the week but Saturday morning something seemed pretty wrong.He asked me to make him a smoothie.A couple of sips later he asked if he could take a nap. I took his temp. which he hates so I couldn't really get him to close his mouth.It was 102 and rising so I decided to take him in.When we were first at Urgent Care the doctor said that his heart rate was very abnormally high even with having a temperature and that was a sure sign of infection.So i was a little nervous at first because they wanted to pass us to the hospital.Things quickly changed which was a relief.When the H1N1 came back positive they didn't seem so worried because they had seen many cases.Long story short...he seems to be doing a lot better already.We just really hope that it doesn't get passed around.Trav and andrea were here visiting this weekend.Luckily they got the vaccine the week before so we will see how that works.(fingers crossed.)Crazy days lately but we are still alive and livin life.Hope you all are doing well and staying healthy.Stay away from the schwab's and you should be fine.Just for a few days though.

Happy Halloween!

We had a funfilled weekend. It felt like Halloween all weekend long.On Friday the kids wore their costumes to the kids club at Golds Gym.They had a little party for them.Friday at school Natalia had a parade and then a little Halloween party that i was able to help out at.It was fun!She has the cutest class. That night we had Trunk or Treat.On Saturday we had a get together with the Hanceys and the Suttons. We had Taco soup with puking punkin,worms,mummy dogs,caramel apples,and vegetable pizza.It was a fun time!Natalia was Thumbalina, Gavin was a ninja, and Cambree was a Pumpkin fairy.The kids were not into the whole picture thing. We were lame and didn't dress up.Maybe next year!

Pat a Cake Pat a Cake...

Bakers man!!

5 Months old and lovin life.She even helps in the kitchen.Natalia and I were making enchiladas the other night and Natalia brought down her chefs hat so we stuck it on Cambree.I already have fun with my girls in the kitchen.

Lil' Man

I couldn't resist taking a picture of Gavin in his little suit.The tricky part is getting him to pause long enough to take the picture.

Draper Temple

We went to the Draper temple for a Sunday evening drive.It is so Beautiful and peaceful. I took a few pictures while we were there.

Around the house

Cambree just started on rice cereal.She is still trying to figure it out.When we are having meals she wathces us with envy and flaps her arms really hard./she can't wait to have big kid food.Natalia loves to help out.

I loved this.I came into the room and saw them reading together.I had to take a picture it was so sweet.

Gavin thinks he is done with naps these days.That boy go go goes all day and at about 5pm we will find him in random places like this.

4 Months old!!

Colter Bay '09

Every year on labor day weekened there is an annual Schwab family get together in Beautiful Colter Bay.It is the perfect time to be up in the mountains and away from it all.Especially after being away each summer.We enjoyed hanging out, playing games, eating,and relaxing.Scott and I went on a run together Saturday morning.Thanks to everyone for making it happen once again!

Canning Days with Sher Bear

We have been wanting to do this for a long time.The first part of September before we left for Colter Bay.Scott's mom came up to help us can peaches.It was a long fun process.The long comes in when you add kids to the mix.We sure got our peaches worth.At least we will have peaches to eat for awhile if nothing else.We actually did a batch of tomatoes too.I wish again that I would have gotten more pictures.But there is a sweet one below with Nanna Bear and Cambree.

Trip to Boise

I took a trip to Boise the end of August but unfortunately didn't take too many pictures. I was able to see some friends (Gretchen,Mollie,and Rachel)That I hadn't seen forever.It was so fun to get our little ones together and to catch up. We also had a little Highschool cheerleading reunion dinner for those that could make it that was fun.(didn't get a pic. though.) The pictures of Seth and Elyssa were attempts to take their wall photos for this year.I actually took a ton more but quickly chose these ones to post.The last two are fun pictures with my parents.

Natalia's first Day of School!!

I can't believe my little girl is in kindergarten. I didn't think it would be as sad as it was.My parents were in town and my mom came with us to the bus stop.She is definitely ready.She was the first one on the bus and hasn't looked dback since.She sits in the back of the bus on the way home and the bus driver calls her a chatty cathy. She has to remind her to get off at her stop.We have to remind her she is just in Kindergarten. I don't know if I am ready for all of this school mom stuff."WE'll see."

Visiting Bear Lake

I have been married to Scott for 6 years and finally made our first trip to Bear Lake together where his grandparents have their summer home.It is Beautiful there and it was so nice to see and spend time with grandma and grandpa Schwab.They were able to meet Cambree.We had a nice time and also enjoyed grandma's fabulous cooking.

Beautiful view from their yard.

Picture of their home.One of the first homes built in Bear Lake.

Picture with our kids.This is priceless.

A ride on the ranger with Grandpa
