Spring is here (right?)

A couple more pictures from the house.  This is what my bedroom looks like everyday - yeah right!

My "new to me" shelf courtesy of my friend Amy D.  We may miss her shop dearly, but it lives on in the homes of many of her friends ;)

A love framing the kids artwork from school and putting it out for different seasons.  There are some that just shouldn't be at the bottom of a memory box.

The kids and I were lucky enough to get to spend a few days in the Ozarks a couple weekends ago with Brad's golf team.  Thanks to amazing hosts we had an awesome time.  The weather wasn't hot by any means, but warm enough to get in some pool time.

It was exactly what we needed to refresh us from winter and get us through to summer.  These 2 had a blast!!

Last weekend was prom and while my kids weren't actuall "in" prom we had to go and check out some of our favorite people.  Here is Tater with his newest idols.  These 3 were absolutely amazing to him while we were in the Ozarks and he now has developed some pretty major "man crushes"!  As a mom I couldn't ask for better role models.

Sadie, Alex and the kiddos.  Sadie had actually babysat the night before and the kids couldn't wait to see her in a dress.  For those of you who don't know Ms. Sadie, she isn't exactly the prom dressing wearing type, but she was beautiful!!

So, as if my kiddos didn't have enough people to look up to, Corbin and Lindsay are pretty much at the top of the list!  They have a blast when the watch them and they both take an interest in all the things my kids are involved in.  We are so lucky to have them and their families around us to help raise them right.

Lindsay stopped by for a pre-prom showing of her dress.  She and Sadie are pretty similar in that we tend to see them in their basketball and softball uniforms instead of dresses.  Love those 2!!

Tate will not say this, but he is in love with Lindsay (and Sadie and Kiley...).  She messes with him and will check him when he is being a bit naughty, which is exactly what he needs.  We will miss her TONS next year after graduation and already have plans to make a weekend trip to watch her play basketball next year. 

You will notice there are no actual golf pictures.  that would be because about 80% of Brad's meets the last 2 weeks have been postponed or cancelled.  Hopefully soon though...very soon.

Easter 2013

Easter 2013 was a fun, busy weekend for the Schaefer house.  It started with a trip to the Easter Bunny...

Teagan had batting practice and had the chance to do both, but decided to not visit the bunny this year.  It may be a sign of things to come, but she was still super pumped about what he brough in her basket, so I think we are good.

Someone who might never grow up and we are ok with that ;)  

Easter hunt at the on the Schaefer side.  That Easter bunny was a tricky hider this year, especially for the older girls.  No worries though...they all got what was left for them (and more)!

Easter egg traditions continue

After sunrise service on Sunday we headed to the Von Ahsen side.  Pictures first and then an Easter egg hunt too.  My goofballs, always posing.

Can't believe how these 4 are growing up.  Way too fast!

Still posing, but at least this picture turned out good.

The rest of the crew

Great Grandma finds these 4 really amusing.  Maybe because she had 6 of her own and now she watches us deal with the shenanigans ;)

Easter egg hunting.  The kids had clues to follow this year.  Here is Tate under the kitchen table.

This girl gets a bit frustarted when things don't come easily to her, so it was interesting making her figure the clues out on her own.

We tried another picture with Great Grandma, this time with Olivia.  Obviously it didn't go so well.

Spring is upon us and in full swing - now if mother nature would just catch-up.  Next post is a mini-spring trip and some pictures of our favorite babysitters all dressed up for prom.  Then maybe if Brad gets some golf meets in I will be able to post some pictures of those.  Until then - think spring everyone!!
