Lanes 1st Boat Ride~

Lane went on his first official boat ride on Memorial Day weekend but I forgot my camera and then Noah broke his leg on the first night.  So here is a pick from his second boat ride and boy does his hair give a whole new meaning to "Windblown"!

Noah's Bday Cont... At the Lake!

Noah wanted to spend his actual birthday down at the lake with my parents.  Even though he couldn't swim or get his cast wet we had a great time!  Amazing how much you can think of to do when you just have a new change of scenary.  Spent a lot of time on the dock fishing and went on a few extra long boat rides!

Watching the boats go by...

Lane throwing hickory nuts in the lake... he thought he was "helping" Nana!

Lanes first PWC ride!

Pa helping Noah put together some of his birthday Leggo's!  He wanted my dad specifically to help him as "Pa can fix anything"!

Evan just hanging out with us on the dock:)

Helping Pa clean the day's catch!

If this doesn't say he had a great Birthday I don't know what does!  Cashed!

Noah's 5th Birthday-REVAMPED!

So we were supposed to have Noah's Birthday at an indoor playground so we had to come up with a Plan B after he broke his leg!  We decided to take a few of his friends (22 kids to be exact) to see Madagascar 3~  Boy that was a lot of kiddos, but they sure had ton of fun!  Totally worth it to see the big smile on his face after all he's been through lately.

So serious trying to act like he doesn't really want to be the center of attention!

Now that is a LONNNNGGGG Table of party guests!  Phew!  But we had fun:)

Momma's Birthday- Big 33!

Decided that it was time for my own celebration this year.  Had to do a bit of adjusting due to Noah's leg, but we still managed to have a day out with some of our great friends.  Such a break it was to spend the day with them and my hubby celebrating at Cedar Creek Winery.

Celebrated witht the boys with a trip to Texas Roadhouse and cake and ice cream at home.  So swee they were when they sang Happy Birthday!

Ended the weekend with a day at the Ball park with Noah.  He had a blast!



Baby Boy is 5 Months!

Started solid foods this month and working on trying to roll over (boy is he a lazy baby:)0)! He is so much like Noah was at this age... not in any big rush to do anything or go anywhere.  Hard to beleive that at this time Lane had begun crawling! 

Not so much summer fun:(

Well Memorial Weekend sure kicked off summer for us.  Unfortunately not in a good way... Noah fell of his bike at my parents Lake House and has a spiral fracture in his tibia.  Four long weeks in a full leg cast and wheelchair ahead of us!  A long 4 hours in the ER at Lake Regional and boy am I glad that it was only a broken leg!  Very intersting place that hospital!

Had to miss his last soccer game as this was the Tuesday after Memorial Day makeup game.  He got his cast that morning and Seth convinced him to still attend to cheer on his team and recieve his medal for a great season with his friends!  So cute all the boys were just dying to sign his case.  What a great group!

Noah's Pre-K Graduation:(

Hard to believe my biggest boy is heading off to Kindergarten next year!  I am so nervous and excited for him... only bigger and better things to come from him.

Mrs. Aman, Noah's AMAZING teacher!  Noah has learned so much from her this year and we are eternally grateful:)

Anna and Jamie Hoeman... Noah's Girlies!

Noah has no training wheels! Watch Out!

Noah and I have been working on riding without training wheels the last 2 weeks!  He is doing so awesome!  Still a little bit shy and nervouse but he is essentially doing it all on his own.  It has been so fun seeing his confidence grow thru this!

Mother's Day 2012

Had a great Mother's Day this year!  Great morning at church, chocolate covered strawberries and new perfume from the boys and an awesome brunch at Sherlocks!  Love being the queen of my castle! By the way this is the only time of year I get the chance to be on the other side of the camera;)

Baby Boy is 4 months!

Lane is 2 Years Old!

What is it with 2 year old's and Elmo?  Lane absolutely loves him and screams his name whenever he see's him.. here are a few pics from the family celebration over the weekend.  Had surprise guest's Seth's Granny and Papa which was a real treat! 

Classic Lane face "I Pick"!  Kid is so independent already...



This blowing out the candle thing is very serious business... you can tell he is contemplating how to get it done!  Love him!

My small little party decor...  Even I think Elmo is cute:)

Swing Pa made for Lane.. Noah already has one hung up in the basement and now Lane has his own too... They were racing them as soon as the were hung up!

The big boys watching very serious Chainsaw business being done by Daddy and Pops!

 The entertainment portion of the evening... Poor Elmo Pinata didn't stand a chance with these two crazies!  This was of course the "safe" pull string kind but that just isn't any fun is it?  The Schaeperkoetter boys love to whack those bats!

Silly big Brother!

My Future Contractors!

Our next door neighbors are putting in a pool and I couldn't have asked for better entertainment for the boys for the whole week!  They went between the front door and the back deck for 3 days straight!  I have to admit I even found it pretty exciting to watch, especially when they lifted the pool over my house! Yikes!

Filling Daddy in on all the work fromt he day... hilarious to hear from a 5 year old's point of view!
