It's Official....All my Kids have my Eyes.....

Last week Abby and Gabe went to the eye doctor and both needed glasses! Now that makes ALL 5 kids with glasses/contacts. They must get that from me!

They had to dialate Gabe's eyes so the doctor gave him these glasses to wear once he got outside...Nice...... Here is Abby and Gabe when we picked up their glasses....

Abby with hers....I think she looks good. She just wears her for school and driving.

Gabe has to wear his all the time....His left eye is really way off so hopefully this will help him.

And Gabe in the exam room.....

Now we just need to get Brian to go...he needs them but does not want to get any! Does anyone know of a good eye care plan?? Next visit will be for Ben, he needs to get some sports frames for football.

Belated Valentine's Post......

Why.....just cause Gabe thought he was sooooo cool in his Panda mask! I personnally think it looks kinds creepy... Working on Valentine's Party cards......Look at Ben's cheeks! :)

Ben picking/signing valentines for his class.....

Now Gabe.....taking the job seriously....

Doing his best handwriting on the cards....

This did a great job and it did not take us a long time. It's soooo nice that they can write out their own valentines. Not one of my favorite things to do so I am glad they like to do it....

Mardi Gras......

Happy Fat Tuesday Everyone!!!!

Happy Birthday Abe.....

Abe Lincoln that is......Today's his birthday (I am thinking it's his 200th birthday)

Here is Gabe in front of a huge painting of President Lincoln at the Lincoln Presidental Museum in Springfield, IL... Love this one...I think it's funny seeing President Lincoln with a hot dog in his hand! :)

Sharing Some Misc. Photos.....

Thought I would share some "never before seen" photos.....Just cause I don't have anything else to share right now. It's been a long winter and we are looking forward to spring....

Most of the these photos are from the fall/Christmas....

Abby going to perform at one of her band performances... Abby and Gabe wearing matching Robot shirts.....Ali had made these several years ago and somehow they were "found" again....

This is Abby at the hospital when she had her "swine" flu....

Last Flag football game.....

Abby and Ben goofing off around Christmas time.....

Ben has been playing basketball at the rec center for several weeks......

After our Christmas Party at Camp Walter Scott, we took the boys down to the outside Chapel on the grounds. It's a very special place.....

That's all I got now.......

Happy BELATED Birthday Ali!!!!

Yep.....Ali's 20 years old (as of last Friday 1/29). I forgot to update that day but we did have a great dinner with her on her day....Our first born, our child who made us parents for the first time, our "test" child is 20!!! WOW...where did that time go?

We love you Alicia Marie Pauline Schuette.....
