Instagram Thursday!

 

Fleece jammies are the best!

Just another day in the Schmelzer house...

Shortest walk ever! A bit too windy for us.

Yum.

:)

Boots weather.

Apparently he was desperate for cuddles and settled for me!

Friday Funny!

No babies were harmed in the making of this video ;)

Instagram Thursday!

 

No Mama, I wasn't playing in your tomato plants...

Perfect day for a walk!

My child better appreciate homemade Halloween costumes!

He'll always let me cuddle him like this, right???

Just watching a little iptv. bahaha.

Weeeeeeee!

Go Cyclones!

Gametime!

My Boys.

Sigh...

The other day, as I was scrolling through past blog posts (Is it strange that I do that quite often?!?)  I realized that we haven't had an "everyday photo session" with G Man lately. We had his birthday pictures, and the instagram photos, but I haven't captured every inch and angle of Gabers in a while.

So here you go!

However, I do have a warning. These photos may make you sigh. I did. It seems as though my little boy is growing up. I feel like there is a little less babyness in each of these...

They will also make you smile! Although there is less babyness, I am starting to see more and more of his little personality! And I love that!

Enjoy!

Instagram Thursday!

364 days old...

 

ONE! 

 

Bella is a fan of birthdays!

 

vroom! vroom!

What a week!!

We have had a lot of excitment the last few weeks! And not all has been the good type of excitement...

 

Thankfully, everything has worked out! Life has seemed to return to normal (minus my constant stomach ache) But I thought I'd catch you up on our adventures.

 

First of all, we made a life altering purchase...We are now mini-van parents! AHH!

 

Ol' Bu, our little Malibu started giving us fits earlier this summer. We tried to baby her along, but she started to have some steering issues. And that was the last straw. I couldn't handle the stress of a non-reliable vehicle, so we decided it was time. The jump to the good ol mini-van made the most sense, even if it was a little scary. And I LOVE IT! I also love my father very much for his negotiating skills! He rocks!

 

Isn't she purdy?!?

 

 

 

Once we got our vehicle home, I jokingly said to Noah that I couldn't handle anymore stress. There has seemed to be lots of little things lately, obviously the vehicle issues were the largest.

 

But Odin had other plans. Last Monday, while Noah and I were working to try and save our crappy grass, Odin escaped. It was quite a while later before we realized he was missing. And we were heart-broken! We spent the night looking around the neighborhood for our big, dumb, fluffball.

 

The next day, Gabe and I put up "Missing Cat" signs, and visited the animal shelter. And waited.

 

And we waited the next day too.

 

I didn't want to utter my thoughts aloud, but my hope for our big, clawless dummy surviving multiple nights out on his own was slim. And it was suppose to storm. Poor Odie.

 

Thursday morning, it started to thunder early in the morning. I got up and thought I would call for Odin one more time before the rain. I went outside, and there he was! THE CAT CAME BACK!

 

 

I think he's happy to be home! 

 

Needless to say, we needed some stress relief. Noah had to work this weekend, so Gabe and I headed to Nana and Papa's for the weekend!

 

And it was a GREAT weekend!

 

Lots of Fall Favorites!!

 



On Saturday, we loaded up the mini-vans and headed to the What Cheer Flea Market. I love this flea market. Lots of junk, with some treasures to be found :)

 

Luckily we made that mini-van purchase earlier in the week ;) Stow-n-Go ROCKS!

By the time we got back to the farm, it had turned into a beautiful fall day! So we gathered some pumpkins and apples, and enjoyed the time outside!

Have I ever told you that Fall is my favorite? Well, it is! And now you know!

When we got back, Daddy took us out to eat in Des Moines. We enjoyed the sunshine with a little Zombie Burger outside.

 

Such a great weekend! Just what we needed!

 

Happy Fall Ya'll!
