Sights, Sounds, and Schnells: August 2014
http://nwschnellfamily.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sights, Sounds, and Schnells. Monday, August 25, 2014. Just Another Manic Monday. Amelia desperately wants a pet (although not enough for that to be incentive to potty-train). The other day there was a large spider that had built a web in a very visible spot in our garage. Amelia was so excited to finally have a pet. The girls have had a bunch of new "foods" lately. Jello Jigglers weren't on the repeat list - yeah! Flavor Ice were a huge hit . . . but I felt silly having to teach a 4-yr old h...The other...

Sights, Sounds, and Schnells: July 2015
http://nwschnellfamily.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Sights, Sounds, and Schnells. Friday, July 31, 2015. Is July Over Already? On July 7, I took the girls to the Lacey Library to meet real princesses - the fair ladies of the Lakefair Royalty. My girls were so excited and the princesses were so sweet. Sophia doesn't look it, but she was thrilled to be with all the princesses and the queen . . . and to get a real glittery crown like theirs. And of course we visited Crater Lake while we were down South. It is as beautiful and blue as always. On our way back ...

Sights, Sounds, and Schnells: September 2014
http://nwschnellfamily.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sights, Sounds, and Schnells. Monday, September 22, 2014. Leavenworth - Take 2. The first time I went to Leavenworth was a little over 9 years ago - on our honeymoon - and that was all a bit of a blur, due to my "3 days . . . 3 Emergency Rooms" experience. So I was really looking forward to going back to Leavenworth - even if we were bringing the kids with us. Still screaming at it. He asks. Oh yeah, I saw them! But enough about me, how about some fun, cute happenings? Right in the center of town is a ga...

Sights, Sounds, and Schnells. Thursday, July 31, 2014. But then there are those moments when I (oh, I mean the Mommy) think I see a breakthrough. Like when we were traveling and Sophia suddenly decides she wants to pee in the potty and does so, successfully, 3 times in a row. But then won't even try it once when we get home. Or the morning Amelia surprised me by getting ready all on her own, including changing her own pull-up! And continues to change her own pull-up, as long as it isn't poopy. I come to ...

Sights, Sounds, and Schnells: December 2014
http://nwschnellfamily.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sights, Sounds, and Schnells. Friday, December 26, 2014. The "decorating" part though, well, that could use a bit more practice. I think we actually ran out of sprinkles before we were done decorating because they used so many. This is Sharon's "I'm trying to look cute by the tree when all I want to do is go to bed" face. The "party" started soon after with Amelia discovering her new scooter, which led to Sophia finding her new scooter . . . and the "race" was on. Friday, December 12, 2014. That night we...

Sights, Sounds, and Schnells: While Ken's Away . . .
http://nwschnellfamily.blogspot.com/2015/06/while-kens-away.html
Sights, Sounds, and Schnells. Sunday, June 7, 2015. While Ken's Away . . . Ken went to AZ for a week for work, so I did a few fun things with the girls to help us all survive the long week without him. First, I took the girls to one of our babysitters to get their nails painted. These aren't the best pictures, but the girls were so excited to have "sparkly" nails - especially since they've never had their nails painted before. The next day, my friend Robin watched the girls for a few hours so that I coul...

Sights, Sounds, and Schnells: Misc. Randomness
http://nwschnellfamily.blogspot.com/2015/05/misc-randomness.html
Sights, Sounds, and Schnells. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Wants a pet. She has started talking to the spiders that come into her room. She even got mad at Ken for taking one out of her room. Sophia loves picking out cds to listen to. Today she picked out one and was surprised that is was Christmas music. We listened to it anyway and enjoyed Christmas in May. The chaos of running out into the street to get the candy. Sophia's least favorite part? Me taking this picture before the parade started ;). Their sco...

Sights, Sounds, and Schnells: April 2015
http://nwschnellfamily.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sights, Sounds, and Schnells. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. So Many Good Things. So many good things have happened in the last month, I can't believe I'm just now blogging about it. We started April with Easter . . . and our traditional Easter egg hunt in our back yard in between the Saturday sessions of General Conference. Sophia definitely had the hang of it this year . . . And it was a race to see who could find the eggs the fastest. Amazingly they each found the same amount of eggs! She did it the day bef...

Sights, Sounds, and Schnells: March 2015
http://nwschnellfamily.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sights, Sounds, and Schnells. Monday, March 30, 2015. And no visit to Portland is complete without a visit to the temple, even if it is to just walk around the outside and enjoy the fountains and beautiful flowers. Sorry for the un-rotated picture). Amelia and I often have a hard time dealing with each other, so I took it as a compliment when Amelia told me this weekend that I was her "best friend . . . even if we had a rough morning". Conquered that weekend for sure! And of course, Ken! Where are we goi...
