The Schneider Family Blog

Rheagan has been dying to go tubing. So of course, as soon as her Pawpaw found out he loaded up the boat and off we went for a late afternoon trip to the lake.   It was the perfect time, it wasn't super hot and the light was perfect for pictures----I know that's what really matters right?? Anyway we had a lot of fun--I even got in on the action.  I had to show up my brother--he still thinks he is better then I am on the knee board, even had Rheagan convinced-----UNTIL I got out there are put him in his place :)   Tubbing with her bubba.... Pawpaw and his girls..... this one cracks me up!!!! Bubba, can you say....wipeout!!!!!

With Summer winding down we have been trying to get in a few other short family outings.   Last weekend we took the girls to the beach.   Rheagan has been dying to go to the beach and Ryane has never been.   Now Galveston is not my favorite,  normally I won't even get in the water but Rheagan LOVES it.   She just loves the sand and surf, a total beach bum.   We are already planning a trip to a "real beach" with clear water and white sand for next summer's family vacation.   Ryane wasn't in love with the sand and the waves were just to much.   She spent most of her day under the canopy playing with her toys.  It was still a great end of summer day trip.   Chelsi was able to go with us, we really enjoy spending so much time with her in the summer.   Just love her!!!!  She is so good to my girls, they love her so much.   I can't believe the little girl that I met at 5 years old is now 16!!!!!  Time just flies.  A fe...

Okay, so no particular topic on this post just all the stuff thats been going on. Took the girls to the dentist and they were sooooooo good.   Both girls had perfect teeth and were absolutely wonderful!!!!!  I was very proud.  This was a far cry from the last time I took Rheagan to the dentist.    If you need a good dentist in Humble for kids----Q Dental is the place to be!!!!!!  We love our dentist! Just me--at a session--I was bored waiting...... We've also been watching alot of Gator boys and Call of the Wildman--Rheagan's favorite shows and now Ryane ask for them too.  Here we are having a lazy Sunday in the bed watching our new favs...Horrible pics by the way---no makeup---yikes!!! Then we took the girls to the park---nice end to our weekend.  Instagram pics--love that app! I'm moving into my new library this week--sad but good!   Excited to get into my new space but rea...

Really, let me say it one more time---BEST VACATION EVER!!!!    Okay this is a long one--sorry!! So Clutch and I decided after Ryane was born that when we planned our summer vacations that we would go on a rotating schedule of family/adults only vacations.  Last year was Disneyworld, so this year was Ixtapa, Mexico for Clutch and I.   Now, when we originally started looking at vacation packages we said "definitely not" to any place in Mexico.   Halfway through our search our travel agent (married to a friend that Clutch works with) sent us the information for Capella resort in Ixtapa.  She had recently traveled there and had only great things to say.   So we reconsidered Mexico.   Here are the reasons we picked Capella. 1.  The flight was really short--direct flight, no layovers, no connecting flights. 2. The airport was only about 20 minutes from the resort---no long ground transfers once we arrived. 3. The price was great! 4...

So, I've got tons of pictures on my computer from the last few weeks.  Quick post, so I can get these pics up and get on to my post about our vacation---Here is what Summer looks like around the Schneider house. 1. We go to the Children's Museum 2. We Hang Out With Chelsi 3. We Take Naps 4. We paint!!!  (and remodel...pics coming I promise, I just haven't finished decorating after all the mess) 5. We take baths in the pool 6. We Go Out in PawPaw's Boat and yes she is sitting in the cooler--it was full of water so the girls were playing in it.   7. WE PLAY ALOT!!!!!! Today the girls got really quiet so I went to check on them in the playroom.  This is what I found...... Ryane had an "ouchie"--- Rheagan told her to get up on the table so she could check her out.  I guess a doctor in the family wouldn't be so bad.   These girls are crazy!!! And later, being sweet.... I'm gonna...
