Happy Holidays???? Halloween/Thanksgiving/ Christmas/ and New Years :)

So Halloween...

The weekend before Halloween we met my Mom and Bob, Tae and Madi,  and the Leonards at the corn maze in Otsego! It was a TON of fun hopefully it can be our new tradition! Greta was a Cupcake, Tae and madi were Wolverine and Batman, Gunny was a Lion, and Gabs was a fluffy smiley chicken!

Cracks me up everytime!

 For Thanksgiving we kept things really low key and decided to host and make our VERY first Tanksgiving dinner. Luke and Papa Kevin made it out! We decided to make this tradition and start having silo decorating and bonfire after the meal! Fthe pack had been on our chalk board for weeks, but we left it on there, thought it would put us in the holiday spirit ;)

 The bird! We deep fried our little friend here, I gotta tell ya, I wouldnt do it any other way now.. Delicious!

                                                               The master!

 Our tree this year(which Schu was pulled over on his way home from getting, I mean.. who pulls over a guys with a Christmas tree.. he wasn't even speeding!) anyway I sent him by himself so it was 9 1/2 ft  tall "go big or go home" I guess!

 Christmas at Nana's! we go bowling every year it is an absolute blast! the kids bowl and nana does prizes!

 Mel's got the touch:) so sweet!

 Went to go see Santa, Gunner thought it was great and it definatly did not phase Gabby! (in our vikings gear ofcourse)

 Christmas at papa's, church for Gunny was a disaster, Gabby did well, and we all had an awesome time as usual!

We went to the Schumachers Christmas day, SO much fun great food great company! I dont have pictures because i dont' want to be the strange one taking pics all day! Hope you all had an awesome Christmas!

 For new years  we went out the friday before with the Schumacher cousins to the Gear Daddies concert as you can see I had to silos of coors in one hand.... it was fun...I think!

 It had been a long time since Justin and I had been out like that! (obviously)

Happy New Year!

Labor Day Weekend

 Annual Moen Labor day camping! One of our favorite weekends of the year! It is so much fun to watch Gunner run around with all his cousins and play in the dirt! we had just a blast, the theme this year was redneck, so in true schumacher fashion, Justin had 3 wardrobe changes!

 Sadle up Gunny here we go!

 Justin went down to Nashville a couple weeks ago where his Mom lives, they gave us their old motorhome because it had been sitting for a good 5 years! Justin and his step dad spent DAYS working on it to get it fixed, then it took them 25 hrs to get it up here instead of 15 because they broke down 3 times... anyways THANK YOU so much because camping was a breeze with two babies because of it! I really don't know what we would have done without it!

 Costume 1... SHITTERS FULL

 Just ridiculous

 Nana and buggy!

 Gabby just hanging out with the girls, doing girl things I'm sure

 So this picture would have been PRICELESS....ya know daddy teaching Gunny how to hit the ball, but instead it's cousin Eddie teaching Gunner how to play ball

 SUCH a cute action shot all the kids just having a blast!

 Why yes, I will have a silo of coors from your holster......

 My Love Bugs all toasty before bed!

 Chunker playing with nana in the sand :)

 THe last day we were there it was finally nice enough to swim, so Jusitn and I ,uncle Luke auntie Mel and uncle Spank took Greta Gunner and Gabby swimming, very fun because Gunner used to be scared of the water so it's nice to see him enjoy it finally!

 melts my heart, Gabby with her arm around Mel!

Another one for the record books, and incase you were wondering, Jenny and I were not the ones who t.p the tents and campers....
