Can't get enough of sweet SOPHIE !!!

Here is a close up of Sophie Jade. Poor girl she is almost a month old and I haven't posted any close up pictures of her. We sure love our little girls but Man they keep us so so busy. Life is GOOD !!!



I love my little family

Sophie Jade has arrived !!!

We are so thrilled that Miss Sophie Jade arrived on May 3oth . 2 weeks early. I am not complaining one bit !!! She weighed 9 lbs. 7 oz 22 inches long. My little babes are getting bigger and bigger each pregnancy . Everything went so much better than Cami's delivery but gosh those contractions sure do hurt. We are so happy and are so blessed to have our sweet Sophie Jade in our family. We have much to be grateful for .

Here's to you!!!

Just had to dedicate this post to these fabulous Women in my Life!!! Happy Mother's Day !!!

I know this picture was when Cami was really little but I love it !!! Oh How I love my Mamasita that's what we call her :} What a strength she is to me and all my sisters. She has worked her whole life and still had time for us girls. She never complained drove us all over to all our activities, always kept a spotless house, magnified her church callings, served in the community and still had and has time to smile and laugh. Whenever I am having a hard day I think of my sweet Mama. She gives me strength everyday. She is my best friend, my example and my hero. My sisters and I always laugh at how much her and my Dad believed in us. They were at every single soccer, volleyball, softball, swimming and karate event. They were always so proud of us. In fact one time I told my Mom I wanted to go to the Olympics for some silly thing I was in. My Mom truly believed in me and just kept building me up. I look back and think how sweet that was. Everyone loves Jan Meik. She touches lifes for a lifetime. They never forget what my mom has done for them. Mamasita you are such a blessing in my life and I am so glad God let me be your daughter !!!




I also have the world greatest Mother in Law. I swear she has bathed in the foundation of youth!!! She truly glows and looks so young. She is a wonderful example to me. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. She truly defines the word Compassion. Plus she has raised some incredible kids. I love her even more because she raised such a good husband for me. Anyone that knows Steve knows how kind, sweet thoughtful and helpful he is. Well folks the secret is out he has a heck of a Mama. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree :} I am lucky to be related to her too !!! You are the best Mama Schaack !!!!

The SCHAACK Daddy has returned !!!

WE ARE SO EXCITED STEVE IS DONE WITH HIS BUSY SEASON !!! (Can you tell by the use of the caps lock key ha ha ) I am not gonna lie September - March is hard to have him away . My sweet little Cami keeps me going. She brings so much sunshine into our lives. She is just pure FUN !!! What would we do without her ????? With the Schaack Daddy home we have taken full advantage of this beautiful weather. That means lots and lots of park time . I am so thankful for all my blessings. Of course my life is not perfect but really who's is right ? This is what Happiness is to me 1. Having your husband home, 2 Hearing your little girl laugh 3. Beautiful days 4.Going on family walks 5. Watching the Sunset. Life is BEAUTIFUL !!! I love life's simple pleasures :}

WOW I can't believe February is long gone. Lots of fun things happened here at the Love Schaack. Including the most exciting news of the YEAR !!! Cami is finally walking !!!! With lots of stress and worrying coming from my end. Miss Cami is finally there. I am learning Cami does everything on her time and if she doesn't feel like doing it it doesn't happen.ha ha ha talk about STRESS !!! Steve had a very busy month being gone a lot . Cami and I took a fun trip to the beach to see my cousin and then a trip to Az to see my sister Jen. Cami and I had a blast and I love seeing my family. Steve is almost done with his travel season YAHOOOOO !!!! We sure love it when he is home.

Do what you LOVE and LOVE what you do !!
