Welcome to world, Finley Jordan!

Finley Jordan Schneider entered the world at 3:21 AM on Thursday, July 3.  We are loving our family of four.

2014...

Happy second birthday, Addie Jo!  She is a big fan of icing.

Hey everybody!  That little summer sibling will be a girl!!!

The theme of January was snow, snow, snow!!

Christmas 2013...

We had planned a Floridian Christmas for 2013, but plans changed...:-)  With the pregnancy news came another stint with my ole friends, IV pole and Zofran pump, making for a homebound few months.  With the help of our family and friends we were able to get through a few tough months.  The Schneider family made the trek down to Greenwood for a good ole family Christmas.  Although I do not have any pictures to prove it, we did have a good Christmas. 

Here are a few pictures that I happened to have on my phone:

Jojo and I ran into a familiar face while shopping at Target in December.  Santa must have known it was my one day out at my favorite store.

Adde's visit with Santa at the mall proved to be a little more tortuous.  Greatest Santa pic ever!

Baby, it's cold outside.

Hey everybody!  I'm going to be a big sister this summer!

 Yikes...swollen hand.  This is the only picture I have from those couple of months in bed.

More summer time...aka more pictures...

JoJo, Addie, and I visited Butler...

This picture just cracks me up...cardboard cutouts rule!

Cousin time!

Aunt Ali and Addie...

Hey look...it's a long haired Uncle Dan.

Russell turned 30!!!  You may call him Mr. Tablesaw now.  Isn't that what everyone asks for for their birthday?

The destination wall that was started two years ago has continued to grow...Bismarck, San Diego, Ottertail...they are all there!

Back to school hair cut for me!

Someone loves her sunglasses...

Happy girl.

Isaac and Addie enjoyed the splash zone at the zoo on a 95 degree day!

We hit up Terre Haute again...tailgatin'.

PS...We are now owners of an iPad...I heart the photo booth app.  I am special.  This I know.

Summer time...summer time...Sum sum summer time...

As summer draws to a close, I thought it was about time to update the ole blog.  We have had a great summer, and I seriously cannot believe that school starts next week!  Yikes!  Here are the pictures of summer (because that is pretty much what this blog has become...less words...more pictures):

We landscaped...

I hit up Boston to visit some friends...

We traveled to Terre Haute to see Aunt Ali and Uncle Dan.

We played tennis and swam.

JoJo, Addie, and I hit up Brown County...Addie was shopped out.

A good friend got married in June, and this is only picture I have...a little blurry.

We celebrated Father's Day...a Jonathan Toews jersey, Cubs phone cover, and a jar of M&Ms...we take care of ole Russell.

We peek-a-booed all the way to Minnesota...

Time to stretch!  How many pictures are there???

Lake time.

Daddy and Addie loving the water...

Ellie and Addie...cousins share chairs.

We swam some more...

We rode the boat...and Addie loved it (as long as we were going fast).

We celebrated 'Murica.

We visited Great Grandma Chilton.

Russell showed off on skis, eh, I mean, Russell skied.

Addie enjoyed time with Grandma and Grampy.

We had a great time in Minnesota.  The Armbrusters were there for a week, and the Camps were there a few weekends too.  Aunt Cassie was able to get away from camp to spend some time with the whole family too. 

Picture Post...Picture Post...Everyone Loves a Picture Post...

Russell went from Duck-Dynasty-called-and-they-want-their-bearded-look back to the sixth-grade-inspired-front-of-a-train look.  Don't worry...he shaved it all off that night. :-)

Speaking of haircuts...this asymmetrical mullet was getting out of control, so...

Addie got her first haircut.  She was great, and who knew that her hair would be so curly once the weighty mullet was trimmed?

Addie...post haircut.

Brad and Andrea got married, so it was a photo op for Rebecca, Steffany, and me.

Hi...I take my own photos.  My glasses are comically large.

Hink showed up at the reception, which meant it was time for another photo op.

Addie is quite the reader in her new playroom.

Russell (and Addie) went all out for Mother's Day.  I received many great items, and this was just one of them.  I heart DP.

This May marked JoJo's last, last day of school, for she retired after forty years in the seventh grade.  Words cannot describe the impact she has had over the years and still continues to have to this day.  I am incredibly proud to call her my mom and my role model as a teacher.

 

Hey JoJo!  Let's celebrate!

Russell and I celebrating with everyone at...

The Milano Inn...JoJo's favorite.

Aunt Amy had big time babysitting duties one day when our babysitter couldn't watch Addie.  This picture just cracks me up.  I just wish I could have witnessed this trip to Target in person. :-)

JoJo, Addie, and I hit up the Franklin Walmart, and look who we ran into?  Willie from Duck Dynasty...or just a cardboard cutout of him...:-)

Popo's tennis team made it to state again this year.  Addie was able to support chick tennis in style with her very own chick tennis bedazzled shirt.  Thanks to Steffany for such a great birthday present.

We sure are ready for summer around here...Addie's painted piggy toes are proof of that.

Out for a walk...Addie knows how to relax in style.

School's out for the summer, and we are ready for the warm weather, trips to see family, and whatever else the summer has in store for us.
