Grandchildren Pictures 2009

Yesterday Nanny took all of the grandchildren to Sears to get our yearly pictures done. We have been doing this every year ever since I can remember. This time the guys wore green T-shirts and the girls wore pink T-shirts. The pictures turned out really nice. We had a great photographer who made the whole experience fun for everyone!

New Song

I have added a new song on "The Schnarr Family Music" link- Amazing Grace.

Scott's 16th Birthday

On Saturday we went over to Babum and Nanny's house to celebrate my cousin Scott's sixteenth birthday. It was a very nice time. I think Scott really had fun!

Scott is such a kind, tender-hearted guy. He was very grateful for all the gifts he received and made sure to thank everyone. I really enjoy spending time with him. He has such a unique personality and is always carefully of others feelings.

Happy Birthday Trent!

Saturday we Trent's 11th birthday. We celebrated it with him on Friday. Babum and Nanny came over for dinner and we enjoyed one of Trent's favorite foods-peperoni loaf. For the recipe visit my brother Trey's blog : http://treysstuff8.blogspot.com/search?q=loaf
Trent had been wanting a DS for quite a while and for his birthday he finally got one. He was very excited!
Happy Birthday Trent! Have great year!!!

Bug Bombs

Recently we have had a moths on the ceiling of our house. We tried to get rid of them by killing them one by one but that didn't seem to work. Today we decided to set off a few bug bombs to get rid of them all, for good. When you use the bug bomb you have to leave the house for so many hours before going back in. We packed up everyone including the dogs and birds and spent the day at Babum and Nanny's.
Even though it was some what of a surprise visit it turned out to be a very nice time. Amber, Trent and Trey were able to take a walk around the lake with the dogs. Cole surprised us by actually going into the lake! That was a mess! And we were able to have a good time visiting with Nanny for the afternoon.

Day at the Park

Friday night Babum and Nanny came over for dinner. We had a wonderful meal that many of us contributed to. As always we enjoyed the talking and having fun with family.
Saturday we went to the James River National Park. We had never been before but it was beautiful! We were surround by mountains and gorgeous scenery.
We packed a pic nick dinner and enjoyed roasting s'mores over the grill. Amber and Trey got a chance to use their kite and Daddy, Tyler and Trent played ball together. After dinner we all took a walk around a small lake.
It really was a fun, relaxing day. The park is about an hour away from us but it was definitely worth the trip!

Spending the Night

On Tuesday Nanny pick me up after lunch to spend the night at their house and to go shopping with her. We again, found some really good deals. Nanny was able to find a purse and I found some photo editing software I had been wanting.
After we were done shopping we went over to her house and made some dinner. Babum came home to eat with us and we all had a great time together. Later that night Babum let me drive the car with him so I could get in more of the night time driving I need to get my license.
Wednesday morning Nanny and I went out for lunch and did a little more shopping before I went home.
I really enjoy spending the night with my grandparents. They have been faithful to having us over like that for as long as I can remember. I have lots of fun memories with them from Nanny eating lunch on the lake in their paddle boat ,with me, to Babum telling stories before bed. I am so blessed to have them as my grandparents!
