Entering the world of Cub Scouts

With Ty in first grade, we're continuing a Schmidt family tradition and starting Cub Scouts. Ty's having a great time so far and was proud to wear his new uniform for the first time.

A glimpse into Tyler's 7th Year

Every year, I make Tyler and Megan a book on Shutterfly.  This year I can share the project here.  For those of you who don't get to visit our house very often, here's a glimpse into Ty's 7th year.

Fall firsts

The last couple of weeks have been full of firsts for Tyler and Megan...Tyler's first day of 1st grade and Megan's first soccer practice (you should see her eyes light up when she gets to play). 

Can you tell they like this pose?

Ty is 7!

It's hard to believe that our little boy is 7 already!  He still loves to make us laugh (as you can tell in the picture below) and is incredibly sweet to his sister (most of the time) and us. 

We had a great celebration on the 3rd with the four of us and then had his friends over for exactly what he wanted...a Lego Ninjago pool party complete with origami ninja throwing stars (or shurikens according to Tyler), a code to transform your name into a ninja name, an awesome ninja training course made by Dad, and of course, fun in the pool.  (Thanks to the blogger behind Craft Interrrupted for making the prep for this party so easy!)
