Wow...Its been a year!! 4\18\11

I can't believe how fast time flies by!!! Lets see, what has happened this last year that has been so crazy!! Greydie turned 2yrs, I got laid off recently at my job along with my sisters, and Unfortunate my Mom has passed away :'(.

I can say this has been a pretty crazy year!!! I dont even know if i know how to blog anymore, its almost impossible to say anything! I can say lets start out the end of January and move into February when grey turned 2. We did a Toy Story party for her and had her friends over for a birthday bash.. she is on this kick with Woody! she has a woody doll, and a woody blanky that has to go everywhere! Her favorite sayings i would say are "DaliCious! (Mama taught her)"- "I dont like it"-& "Dont Talk to me like Tat".... If i could upload more pictures i would, they will have to come later! I love now that Grey is a toddler, but at the same time i sure do miss the baby stage man am I BABY HUNGRY!! ... though its not time yet.

I recently Lost my Mom on March 30th due to complications of Health. It was a pretty sad week, and I can assure you its still tough. She was definitely climbing that ladder to get better, and since her last incident when she was in the ICU back in June 2010 she really worked hard at being there when she could, Her and I really built a great relationship that i'm sad that it cant continue here in this lifetime, She adored Greydie and took her whenever she could.. Greydie loved calling her "Mama" and me "Mommy" and of course my dad was "PaPa". I'll never forget those times my mom and I just cried with each other telling each other how much we loved each other and that we were so much alike that we wouldn't let our stubborn head, or differences cause a catastrophy in our relationship, and for the most part after the last 9mths it was the best!! and i'm so thankful that my heavenly father gave that to me. We know she's in a better place and will now watch over our families and will be able to be there for my dad more then she could possibly do here for the last 2-3 years and her children! We love you Mom, and Miss you dearly... Take care and make sure to greet us when we come :)

Just today, actually I spent my last day after 6yrs working for Comcast it has come to an end. I was recently laid off from working in the Door to Door dept Call center for a Hand held device, and other Co workers. I can say that now that i've had really no other choice to take any other job openings its my time to try and be a stay at home mom! I'm very thrilled, and nervous at the same time... wow.. however, it will be a struggle i'm sure at times but, its what you sacrifice is what makes you stronger right??? haha... I just hope that this doesn't put us off from having kids!! .. Na, it shouldn't.. lol :)

So far recently this year.. and our updates!

So.. I know i've updated some older photos but there cute enough i can share!! ... lately nothing new with our family other then greydie turned one!! Sam went out of town for school and he got the Top performer award in his class... He leaves again in about another week and then comes home for maybe 3 weeks but then leaves again!! But with all this school hopefully in the next five years he can apply somewhere new if he wants and make more money which is always good considering the economy.. I really am working towards on staying home for a living and work only maybe a part time job for my insanity so i've looked into doing nails at Color my Nails school.. i'm just really nervous i wont make the clientel but i'm praying that if its the right thing to do then thats where he'll lead me!!

however, Sam and I are still working on the temple still a struggle but were getting thru it..We actually just recieved a calling in the ward to be over the Cub Scouts the wolfs thats the little 8year olds i think.. :)... but its a work in progress pretty fun but can be a little stressful at times. but we are really starting to get to know more people in the ward and its become such a blessing because there are some that are really interested in knowing sam and I and just being a friend. sometimes i hate that greydie is about 18mths to go into nursery.. we have church from 9-12 Fav time for me, but not her!! she likes a morning nap! so thats another struggle that were working on!! Um, i've been sick a few times this last 2 or 3 months and then grey is right there along with me.. Sam hasn't gotten sick LUCKY DOG.

So we have 2 camping trips coming up that i'm looking forward too.. especially with greydie now that she is older and a bit more mobile to play with her cousins and friends. We have a trip in April were hoping to go down to the cabin down south and spend some time with our families and just enjoy time away.. its the Turkey hunt i believe!! We didn't draw out.. oh well.. there's always Coyotes right??? . oh we also have our famous trip in May to St. Anthony for the Sand dunes !! So excited! I really hope this next year i get to get one so i can go out too whenever.. right?? not, i have a child but still .. Aunt Melissa and cousin chloe always are there and there awesome at taking her so this year should be really fun.. greydie will be hopefully walking, (which she isn't yet, probably give it a week or so cause now she is really getting daring about walking to things.. no doubt) but she'll be able to play in the sand get dirty, and then of course play in the water that should be fun!! ... :)...

Yay... Greydie turned 1 !!

Its my birthday and i'll cry if i want too!!! True Statement right?? ** I LOVE THIS FIRST PICTURE *** is it just me or does every kid cry at least once on there birthday??? haha... she had her melt downs here and there but as soon as she saw her Backyardigans cake she cheered right up!! .. We had a party Saturday for friends to come over and celebrate and then Sunday for our immediate family just because our house is to small to combine... I can't believe she is already 1. That year flew by.. its crazy though how much she learns from you and what she picks up.. she sure is a jibber jabber... lol... I love her so much its insane how much you have for sombody who does naughty things and makes you way tired and gets into everything!!! haha....

Christmas 2009 w/Grey

This year was a bit different. We normally get together with my side of the family first in the morning and all but this time we decided to switch it up so we didn't have to worry about not having enough time to really show off our things. So first thing is I woke up to sam making Hot chocolate and X'mas music on.. then of course i had to get the video camera out and start recording a bit, i got greydie up and we opened her presents.. i sucked really bad for having a first Xmas to tell you the truth i didn't Take pictures much... i'm kinda bummed out that i didn't I really need to do so much better about it... I even bring my camera around i just can't seem to do it!! However the day turned out pretty nice, other then sam and I were starving that evening and literally we couldn't find one thing open to eat!! but guess what was open of all places "Panda Express" isn't that crazy... haha.. however this a few good pictures i got from that day, thru half my pictures after loading them i realized that my camera's flash wasn't automatically flipping on! yeah ask me if i was mad!! lol.... however Enjoy!!

Shes so dam cute!! i love the fact she took our curly hair, i'm so glad the "mullet" stage is over... lol.. i was almost half tempted cutting it off.. but then sam came in and said No, so i couldn't... lol... anyways... heres some pictures! enjoy....

Trip to Idaho!!

*cont oct* So, over this month we also were able to go up and see his dad and step mom and there kids, Its nice to go up and out of state even if its just Idaho haha :), however we went up around the time Evan (gina's son) was playing in a really rival football game, it was fun to go to that!! small towns have such a big rivalery(sp?) its cool... EVan is a really good football player and knows his stuff, we also were able to go the next morning to Kelsey (gina's daughter) soccer game... they also were playing to go to regionals or state... lol.. not quite sure exactly but it was fun... nice to see them and be a big sister to them (even if i'm only in law right).. haha.. Greydie had fun with grandpa and grandma too, I also was able to take some family pictures of them!! yay!! lol... it will probably be our last trip to go up there this year just cuz when it snows the roads get closed and we cant risk the chance of a huge storm and then stuck up there for a few days!! lol...

Yay!! i'm blogging!! and its... all about October!! lol..

So, I know most of you hate me right?? lol.. well hate is a strong word, or you all are a little upset i dont blog much, well i'm blogging now, and i'm going to blog about this last month.

So, We as a family went to see the WITCHES! from Gardner Village, and i'm sure most of you know about that. this was my first year being able to go, so thanks girls for working around my schedule!! .. we had fun, greydie danced a few times, and wasn't even scared of the witches. *thank goodness** Santa claus is coming up lets hope by then she's still okay with strange people! lol...

So REcently YOu all knew sam had tore some ligaments in his ankle, well he had his 2 week follow up yesterday and I guess he's gotta go see a ankle specialist now this friday and we'll find out if he has to have and MRI done or surgery.. hopefully not but its been rough sam being out of work so sorry to those i haven't been able to go out with lately or go spend money.. lol! i'm not having a pitty party but it does suck being strapped!! ... However, IF anybody is interested sam and I are thinking of selling both our vehicles and getting a little cheaper so then later down the road we can really afford what we want.. I love my chrysler but if anybody is interested just let me know... however, we had evonne's birthday and had fun there i'll post some pic's i have!!

from the reunion!

So, Recently...

So i guess its time again to post some pictures and blog about my life and whats new... Lately the Schroeder family has been to birthday parties, Family reunions, the Zoo, new Puppy and getting sick.

Sam and I had my Dad's side family reunion which was nice to see all those people you dont see often but was very HOT! It sucks yeah cuz we didn't stay to take the final family Picture with everyone but I had greydie who was stressin from the heat and then my husband who was extremly tired, considering he had worked the night before thru the whole morning!! 2nd, We had my work Comcast party at the Zoo this year.. wish it would have been lagoon that would have been fun but i guess it was to much for them last year they couldn't do it again this year. The zoo was fun we took greydie of course but she's only now 6mths old *which is crazy btw* but she didn't have much interest.. she just loved the stroller ride and the few times we went on the carosel. The zoo has changed big time since i've been there, We went to the bird show that was alright, i hate BIRDS!! so if you got birds you've got sick issues. lol j/k.

So now for this week, up to date: Sam went and played basketball with Beau my brother around 930pm and decided to call me 1/2 hour later to tell me that he had fallen onto somebodys shoe and rolled his ankle.. so now my husband can't walk it hurts to bad so i took him to the DR and they told us thankfully its not broke or fracture but he did tare some ligaments. EGh!! NOt fun.. so I've been dealing with taking the puppy out every hour or 2 so i have no accidents *which never happens they always pee or poop inside one time, or even 5 times :(.. however, then I have Miss Darling Greydie who BTW is getting her 1st tooth .. YAY... its finally broke thrue her skin and its her front bottom one, but man has she been the biggest poop for 2 weeks for one tooth!! I HATE TEETHING, from sams quote! lol :)

We also got a new puppy that I named HARLEY, she's another English mastiff just like Zoey but shes brindle color and she's really cute but she is nothing like zoey was.. she's so Independant and eats literally everything. The 2 of them get along really well however, they always are play fighting which gets really annoying sometimes cuz there constantly at each other.. of course its the puppy in Harley thats interested in zoey, and i think zoey just wants to chill. Harley likes to chew on things too.. like shoes, couches, everything! its funny cuz like i said zoey was never like this.. she never interested herself in anything from shoes to couches. I think of it like if sam and I were to have our 2nd child, Greydie was such a blessing for being such a heathly, good natured baby that our 2nd child is going to be a nightmare.. lol.

Then there is ME!! taking care of Greydie, Puppy and Hubby. and then i get sick and it stinks!... I think it must have been the 24hr flu, egh throwing up was not fun haven't done that in a long time.. and NO i'm not pregnant as most would ask, thats all i've got from people YOur PREGNANT lol.. NO i have an IUD, granted there only like 98% affective but still... Okay.. gotta go now! dont know much that I haven't said that has been going on.. see yah..

Gosh its been awhile!

So i'm super sorry i haven't blogged in like forever! I'd really love to but i swear I never find my time in doing it, however Its been an eventful 2 months. Greydie is growing up so big and pretty soon she's not going to fit in my arms much longer.. shes about 85% in her height so if she's anything like her dad who's 6'2 she'll keep growing! however... lately we have been hanging out having a BBQ, long time ago, then we went to the Dunes back at the end of may. and then we just had the 4th of july we spent in IDaho.. hanging with Gina and Bryan. Some pictures I have from over the last few months are posted below.

My Bachelorette Updates!!

So, Oh my gosh I haven't posted in a long time but I swear the mornings are to hectic and the nights i'm puting Greydie down and hanging with sam so we all know my reasons for not blogging!!however, I am a huge Bachelorette fan and OH my gosh this season is crazy.What is with Tanner P and his foot fetish! granted its to funny to see how Horney he gets just talking about it for hell sakes you'd think he'd have a heart attack if she'd let him kiss them!! to funny....

Jake so far Is one of my fav*.. -I loved there date, it was awesome with all the country dancing and all, and DAM he is fine for a cowboy!! I think he'll go far even though he didn't take any one on one tim with her this last time he was still onher mind! but I also like and Kypton to... However I can't believe she got rid of Sasha.. I liked him he really seemed like he knew he wanted but I guess they did't click!! OH and David.. wow What a jealous nut, Granted I don't like juan that much but I have to agree with Evonne He's so GAy!!! I called it right there with you sister!! haha.. But david I swear was going to kill somebody not to say he probably had alot to drink!! howevr, i'm going to bed talk tomorrow sometime... with love!
