Just wanted to write a quick post about Thanksgiving and the upcoming holiday. We spent a wonderful Thanksgiving at my sister Jess' house in River Falls for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful meal and great company. My grandparents even made it up from Iowa to join us. It was their first time seeing John and he took to them right away, especially "old" grandpa as A.J. calls all great-grandparents. We were able to get a 4 generation picture with them, unfortunately I forgot my camera so I will have to wait to post it until I get a copy from Mom or Jess.
I can't believe Christmas is a little over 3 weeks away! The year has gone unbelievably fast and before we know it we will have a 5 and 2 year old! A.J. is getting very excited for Santa to come and to be able to celebrate Jesus' birthday. He has been walking around the house singing Christmas carols for the last few days, it's adorable. We will be picking up our tree this weekend and then finishing all the decorating as well. I braved Black Friday by heading to Toys-R-Us at midnight on Thursday and I will never do that again! I was able to get almost all of my nieces and nephews done, but I am not sure the 2 1/2 hour wait in line to check out was worth it. I think I will stick to the a.m. sales instead next year, they don't seem to be quite as crazy! Just have a few more presents to buy and then I am done. And I am DEFINITELY getting a head start on wrapping this year, no more waiting until the night before!
Other then that, not much else to report on this end! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and has a very Merry Christmas season!

Not much new...
...but I thought I would send a quick update to keep everyone in the loop. We have had a busy couple of weeks spending time with family. The weekend of the 13Th and 14Th we hosted the Rochester Schmitt's at our house. Mike, Jessica and Benjamin all had Friday the 13Th off, so Joe took the day off as well and we spent it together. We headed first to the Children's Museum and all three boys had a blast. Especially John, he was in heaven to be in a place where he could touch whatever he wanted and was never told NO! A.J. and Benjamin had so much playing and figuring out how everything worked, it was amazing to watch their minds in action. After the museum, Jessica found a wonderful place for us all to have lunch. She picked it with A.J. in mind, the Java Train Cafe. We had a wonderful lunch and A.J. and Benjamin had a great time playing in the "caboose" and watching the model train. After our bellies were full the moms and kids headed back here to do some playing outside and have a nap, while the dads headed off to do dad things. After the men got back, us ladies were able to go out and have dinner and have some time to ourselves, it was wonderful! Jessica and I always have so much fun together. Saturday we all headed over to Grammy and Pa's for dinner and more quality time together. It was a wonderful weekend spending time with them! And the boys has so much fun together, it is such a joy that they get along so well. Here is a little video to show how much fun they all have together!
This last week we spent again with the Rochester Schmitt's (boy, they are going to get sick of us)! Jessica headed up to the cities on Thursday evening so we could attend the long awaited premier of New Moon! And of course celebrate her birthday. We started the evening at The Square and had a wonderful dinner and delicious drinks. We then headed to the theater for the 12:02 am showing and were glad we got there as early as we did, it was packed! We were going to try and sit with my sister and her sister-in-law as well, but there was just not enough seats for all of us together. The movie was great, a lot better then the first in the saga, but we were exhausted and ready for bed! Then Friday evening was the usual birthday ritual, getting the Schmitt "sisters" together for dinner. We surprised Jessica with dinner at Fuji-Ya and had a yummy dinner!
Saturday morning we then packed up the car and headed down to Rochester for the rest of the weekend. We had a wonderful time playing games, watching movies and just relaxing and spending time together. Sunday before we headed home, we all went to the "really fun" park and watched the boys play. I think we had as much fun watching them as they did playing. We then headed home and spent the rest of the night recovering from our fun, but busy weekend!
We are really looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with my mom and sister and family this weekend. My grandparents are even coming up from Iowa and this will be their first time meeting John. We have a lot to be thankful for and A.J. has been rattling off his list already this week. He is also very excited because after Thanksgiving is Christmas (he isn't quite sure how the timing works, he thinks Christmas is this Friday)! I can't believe Christmas is just a little over a month away. Where has the year gone!? I will post some pictures from Thanksgiving next week (if I remember my camera), but here is one picture I couldn't resist posting!

Apple Orchard and Halloween
I can not believe it is November already! Christmas will be 
here before we know it.
We have been enjoying this wonderful fall weather. We spent the afternoon a few weekends ago at the apple orchard with my mom, Jess, Kristi and the kids. They had goats and chickens, a wooden train to play on and of course the wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch and corn maze. AJ had a blast playing with his brother and cousins and could not WAIT to get on the tractor for the ride out to the corn maze. It was a beautiful day and afterward we all headed to Jess' house to have some pizza and watch movies. I have added few pictures of the wonderful afternoon.
We decided on very short notice this year to continue our tradition of having a Halloween party. We sent out the evite, decorated the house, figured out costumes (well at least all of the men in my life did, I did not have such good luck with that) and purchased the refreshments for the
party. We started the day out at church at the annual Hallelujah Festival with Grammy and Pa (Joe's parents) and then Mike, Jessica and Benjamin joined us for trick or treating in White Bear. (Picture courtesy of Jessica). Then once the boys were home and their candy sorted carefully (both the boys have allergies), our guests started arriving. I was too busy talking and did not take many pictures. But thankfully Jessica took a few and I am stealing a few from her (thanks!). AJ had a few friends join him at the party and the boys had a wonderful time. They are all within 2 years of each other and got along great. John dressed as a dragon and was so good, he wore his costume all night!
Joe and Kaiser decided to do another theme this year, Smokey and the Bandit. When another couple found out, they joined in the fun and dressed as two characters from the movie as well. There were a lot of fun costumes, just wish I would have taken some pictures of them!Thanksgiving is fast approaching and we are really looking forward to it. We will be spending it at Jess' this year with my Mom and family. There should be a lot of food (can you same turkey AND ham) and wonderful company. We have most of our weekends booked up already through Christmas, it's amazing how busy we get this time of year and we are really looking forward to spending lots of time with family. Christmas will be split this year as usual, Christmas Eve with Jen's dad and family, Christmas Day with the Schmitt's and I believe the weekend before Christmas with Jen's mom and family (not sure on the exact details yet). I will try to post more often, but you all know how I am :)

It's about time!
Well, I thought it was about time to post again, seeing as it has been over 2 months! Sorry, I have not been very good about posting.
Where to start...
We have been dealing with a lot of health issues here at the Schmitt house. The boys and I all ended up with the Swine Flu the first part of August. It lasted about a week for all of us and thankfully no one around us caught it (including Joe). We all just had really high fevers and were very weak and sore- A.J. describe it best when he said, "My skin hurts!". We all got over that and then I started have some severe migraines. I went to the doctor and was sent in for a MRI and they found a lump. The lump was biopsied and found to be just a cyst on the back of head near my spinal column. They drained it (twice) and the headaches have gone away. I have to go back in to have another MRI to make sure it's gone. The cyst was the best possible news, so we are thankful for that! Then 2 weeks ago, John woke up having a lot of trouble breathing, so all four of packed up night night blankets and headed to the E.R. His breathing didn't not improve, so they admitted him. He spent one night in the hospital and was sent home the next evening. He is taking after his brother in the breathing department after all. It was total deja vu. We spent 3 nights in the hospital with A.J. around the same age for the same issues. Although A.J.'s was food allergy related, John's just came about because of a cold. But we are all home safe and sound now and just enjoying the new fall weather.
Joe and I were able to escape to a B & B for a night in August and just celebrated our 8Th wedding anniversary last week. I can't believe we have been married that long! It's even harder to believe we have been together for 15 years this year! Time sure flies. Joe also enjoyed a his annual Guy's Camping trip this year with his buddies and had a blast as usual! He also finished 4 triathlons this year. He improved his time with each new one and thinks he finally found a sport he loves (and I love watching him compete). I was able to get away for the weekend with my wonderful sister-in-law, Jennifer. We headed to Duluth for the weekend and had a wonderful, relaxing time. Shopped, ate, slept in and visited Split Rock Lighthouse. It was a much needed weekend away and great to be able to spend so much time with Jennifer!
The boys have been busy just playing outside and spending time with grandparents. A.J. is still into his diggers and trains. But now has become really interested in dinosaurs as well. My little boy is turning into a little man. He still amazes me everyday with the knowledge he has!
John has FINALLY started walking! He was a late bloomer, just like big brother, but he figured it out. He is so proud of himself for it too. It has also seemed to help him feel more independent so he doesn't feel the need to screech all the time now when he wants something, he just goes and gets it. He still isn't saying much- mama, dada, A.J., nigh nigh and nana- are about all he manages so far, but he does do a few signs- all done, more, drink, eat, fan, light, dog and bye bye. I can't believe my little baby is 16Th months old already! Where does the time go.
Here is a picture of the boys at Como Zoo. This is John's first ride!
We are going to have a pretty busy fall and winter ahead of us, but it should be a lot of fun. This weekend we are going to go out and cheer on Mike as he runs the Twin Cities Marathon. Next weekend the Schmitt men are heading to New Ulm for Oktoberfest so the Schmitt women and boys are heading to Grandma's house to have a girls and boys night. The following week I am heading to Rochester to spend with evening with my sister-in-laws to celebrate Katie's birthday! Before we know it, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here. I will try to post more regularly now and as things happen in our lives. I will be posting new pictures and videos to our Flickr site soon. We hope everyone is happy and healthy!
Here they are waiting for the Sparky the Seal show at Como Zoo.

Triathlons and German Festivals
We had a wonderful weekend enjoying the weather. The first of our major outside activities was watching Joe compete in his first sprint triathlon, the Manitou Tri. It was so fun watching him compete in a race again, I forgot how much I missed watching him run marathons. Sprint triathlons include a half a mile swim, 10 mile bike ride and a 5K (3.2 mile) run. He was hoping to finish in about 2 hours and he blew that out of the water (haha)! He finished in 1:36.12! We are so proud of him. My favorite part was watching him finish the swim portion, seeing him running up the chute after swimming a half a mile was just awesome! His parents and brother Mike and Benjamin came out to join the boys and I in cheering him on. It was a beautiful day and the boys behaved so well, it was a wonderful experience and he is already talking about do another Tri in August.
After the tri, we headed to Deutsche Tage, a German festival held in St. Paul. We try to go every year with the Schmitt clan and this year did not disappoint. Mom and Dad Schmitt and Mike, Jessica and Benjamin were there to enjoy the festivities with us. We enjoyed some wonderful German food, German beer, German music and the wonderful outdoors! We always have a blast and the weather was perfect this year. AJ had the best time with the model train they had set up. I think he would have watched the train all day! It was wonderful day.
We are heading to the Manitou Days (White Bear Lake days) parade on Friday night and hopefully will hit some of the other festivities this weekend as well. Joe wants to spend Father's Day just relaxing at home and grilling some ribs (his usual request). It's his day, so whatever makes him happy!
Next weekend we will head to Rochester for our nephew Benjamin's 4TH Birthday party and then we are staying the night and watching Mike race in his first Tri on Sunday. Boy those Schmitt boys are competitive! Then Monday, the boys and I are headed to the cabin on Duck Lake for the 4TH. Should be a blast!

How fast a year goes!
I figured it was about time to post again, it's only been like 6 months! It's been a whirlwind, I don't know where the last year has gone.
Our biggest news is John turned one last Sunday! Our baby is not a baby anymore. We had a wonderful turn out and the weather was amazing. We did some grilling and were able to eat out on the patio and the bigger kids has fun playing with the chalk and just running around enjoying the weather. John was in such a good mood and devoured his piece of cake. I did not take any pictures, but Jessica did, so check out their blog or go to their picture site to see all of the shots, here is one I "borrowed" from her.
He is growing so quickly, I just can not believe it. He is saying Momma and Dadda, dog and AJ. He is doing baby signs for fan, light and all done. He LOVES to eat (as you can tell by the above picture) and so, far no allergies! We are very happy about that. No walking yet, but he crawls fast enough and gets into enough mischief the way it is. He is such a joy.
AJ was 4 in April, going on 10. I can not believe how grown up he seems. This was his last week of "school" for the year and all of the classes "graduated" even though most of them will still be attending next year. It made me think though, this fall will be his last year of preschool and then he is off to kindergarten! I will have a kindergartner soon. Were did my little baby go? He is still into diggers of course, but he also likes trains and dinosaurs. AJ and Daddy attended the Walking with the Dinosaurs show at the Target center and he loved it. Although the T-Rex roar was a little scary, thank goodness daddy was there to protect him. Here is a shot of AJ and his best bud Benjamin.
I will try and catch you up on all that has been going on. Winter lasted way too long for my taste, I am so happy summer is finally here. In February we took a trip down to Rochester to spend the weekend with Mike, Jessica and Benjamin. While we were there, we headed down to Austin to visit the Spam Museum. AJ was in heaven, what with Turkey Spam being his favorite food and all. We also went bowling that weekend (a first for AJ) and just spent some much needed time with them. We are so lucky those two little guys get along so well. Joe and I then spent 5 wonderful days in the Riviera Maya in Mexico! The weather was beautiful and it was so nice to have some alone time together. On May 2ND we threw a surprise 60Th birthday party for my Mom and step-dad Dan at the Gasthaus Bavarian Hunter. The were both totally surprised and it was a lot of fun. On Saturday, we celebrated my Godson Gage's 2ND birthday. Since we were unable to make it last year (what with me being in labor and giving birth to John), I made a point of making sure I was there this year.
We will be celebrating our nephew Benjamin's 4Th Birthday soon and then the day after we will be off to the cabin for the 4 of July holiday with all of my family. It should be a blast! Mom and Dan even bought all of us "big kids" a new floatie to relax on. Other then that, we really have no other vacation plans set in stone. We would like to take the kids camping and hope to get up to the cabin few more times this year.
Joe will be participating in his first triathlon on June 14Th and we can not wait to watch him swim, bike and run. He has been keeping busy with training for a triathlon, working, teaching and his masters program. And of course being a wonderful Daddy.
I have decided this was the year to totally lose my mind. How does one do that you say? Well they sign up to walk 60 miles over the course of a weekend. I am talking about the Breast Cancer 3Day! I have been wanting to do this walk for the last couple of years and this year I bit the bullet and signed up with a friend. My training has not been going as well as I would have hoped, but I have not doubt I can finish, now the fund raising is a whole other story...
Well, that is what is up with the Schmitt's. I will try and post more often and will be updating our picture site in the next day or two. Hope everyone has a wonderful summer!

Happy New Year!
Christmas is FINALLY over. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, but we do a lot of running and I am happy to be done with it all. But boy did AJ have fun. It was so wonderful to see him so excited and finally understanding what it is really about! Santa was very to good to AJ this year, he received his wooden train set he was asking for! And boy did it take Santa a while to set that thing about, 2 1/2 hours to be exact. But it was worth it to see the look on his face as he walked into the playroom. Santa also gave him Wall-E and a wooden crane he has to share with his brother. John was oblivious to everything going on and we didn't even get any pictures of him opening a gift, poor second child.
The next couple of weekends will be busy with some exciting events. This weekend is the bachelor/bachelorette parties for Andy and Jennifer and then next weekend is the big day, THE WEDDING! All 4 Schmitt boys will finally be hitched! We couldn't be happier for them and can't wait for next weekend. The are holding their reception at a German restaurant here in town and the food should be awesome.
AJ and John are both doing well. AJ is still really enjoying school and we are signing him up for kinderstart classes at school next year. He will go 3 days a week and I think he will really enjoy it! We are also signing him up for camp at the YMCA this summer and of course he will do vacation bible school.
My baby seems to be turning into a little boy right in front of me. John is 7 months old now and just a joy. He is a very happy baby and a good sleeper. We have been blessed with 2 great little boys. He is eating solids like a champ and "talking" all the time. He is starting to mimic things you do and LOVES his big brother.
Joe and I are heading to the Riviera Maya in Mexico in March. We are looking forward to a much needed trip away. I love being at home with my boys, but with Joe in school and everything else going on, I do not get many breaks, so I am really looking forward to 5 days away! And not to mention sunshine.
We just bought a new Mac and have not had a chance to get our pictures moved over yet, so I will update those when I have some time.
