Elder Trevor John Schroeder

Hey Trev this one is for you, Big Bro. Man I am so proud of you. Your a great kid, I love you, look up to you and want to be just like you. I remember you had me take this picture of you because you needed one so you can send your papers. Trevor, I really know you'll do great serving in Jacksonville, Florida. It was Saturday 20th that we got his papers and found out where he was going. I remember it was about 11:30 that morning when the doorbell rang and I was thinking to myself who could that be, but it didn't hit me that it was the mail lady with Trevor's papers. I answered the door and sure enough it was her. It was cool to have the mail lady come to our house and hand deliver it herself and say, " I think that you will want this." I think that it was cool that she when out of her way to bring it to us as soon as she saw it and knowing that we have been waiting for Trev's papers. I felt special to be the one who answered the door and got to be the first one to really hold it and say, "Hey mom his papers are here!" Trevor again I'm proud of you and you will be a great missionary. Oh yeah I forgot to mention he is leaving December 3rd to the MTC.

Cowboy Colt

I first got this idea of dressin' up like a cowboy when Shaylee had to go and sing Rylee to sleep and she told me she would call me back in 2 minutes. And in that 2 minutes I was pretty bored and the idea just hit me. I know, I admit I'm a dork. Do you think that I look good enough to be a cowboy as a career? My mom say that its just not like me.

My Baby, My Talenator!

Hey, didn't you hear? I have a baby! His name is Talen. Ha ha yeah I have been taking a child development class. I'm not quite sure I really know what I'm getting myself into with this class but we'll sure find out. Oh man he sure is a handful and he cried so much, but he was growing on me.

I had to give him up today. It has been a rough day, I don't really think people understand except for Meghan S. we never really talked to each other until we both in the class together. We both had it this weekend and think we are suffering from postpartum depression. It is kind of sad.

This is the one of the last pictures I took of him before I had to take him back.

This is the very first day we got our crying machines. My baby is on the Left and Meghan's is on the Right. Good Times.

Now you can't say you don't love this face.
Taking care of this baby was kind of hard when it started screaming you had to figure out if you need to feed it, burp it, rock it, or change it. I was pro at rocking it and we didn't have a rocking chair so I got quite the ab workout.

My Mom and Haylee needed to run into Target so I decided to stay hidden in the car and save the humiliation.

This is me at 3:27 in the morning, and yes I had to wake up in the middle of the night and take care of my little Talenator. I know its not my favorite picture. But I knew that if I took a picture I would be able to post it.
