I am sure that everyone feels like a bad parent, and I do often ;) But I came across this reminder today and i liked it...
"To set our house in an order pleasing to the Lord, we need to do it His way. We are to employ His attributes of “righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, [and] meekness......Parents are to be living examples of “kindness, and pure knowledge, which … greatly enlarge the soul.” Each mother and father should lay aside selfish interests and avoid any thought of hypocrisy, physical force, or evil speaking. Parents soon learn that each child has an inborn yearning to be free. Each individual wants to make his or her own way. No one wants to be restrained, even by a well-intentioned parent. But all of us can cling to the Lord."
Russell M. Nelson
Love it!

Life.....
Has it really been four months since I posted? Has life passed that quickly? It seems to me that every time I turn around another month has passed and I have no clue where it went.
We around here have been doing the normal things... school, work, preschool, dr appointments, grocery shopping, everything that you do on a normal basis. You know, the boring stuff. I guess we have tried to throw in a few fun things too...
In February we went to boise. We saw the newest schmidt get blessed and had a ton of fun with cousins. I think Aiden would move away from us just to live with his cousins. Plus they have more boys in their house :0). Aiden also spent much of the month in Feb with strep throat.
March sent us Aiden's birthday and a couple of acceptance letters to law school. I still can not believe that Aiden is six and that we are going to law school in the fall. I think that most of march is kind of a blur.... and no, we still don't know for sure which school we are going to. I think that we really won't know until august.
April has sent us april showers and april snow and april wind... I am not sure if it has been warmer than 55 degrees all month. I have been working a bunch and we just seem to be wishing april away for warmer months. Oh, and Aiden got his tonsils and adenoids out. He is doing really well with it. I kind of feel bad for the kid with three surgeries in his life. The kid is a smarty pants though. He is reading really well and today read the word stroganoff. Who knows how to read that?!?!?
Hadley is growing like a weed too. She can sit up by herself for a bit now, she growls a ton and really never cries. At her six month check up she was 15 lbs and 10 ounces. Pretty good!
Hunter is Hunter. She is super smart and really gets things. And because of that she really know how to work the system. I think we might either have a really great teenager on our hands or a really great teenager that we don't know is getting into trouble on our hands. ;) Either way--she spices up our lives!
Oh--and here is some pics of the last couple of months...

Christmas
Christmas was a little different this year but a ton of fun. All of Christopher's brothers and their families came to his parents house. In total there were 16 people in the house including a two week old baby ( Baby Stella!) It was a ton of fun.
On Christmas morning I woke up early to get ready for work, yes I had to work but only for two hours, woke all the kids up and then opened presents. It was a whirlwind of opening! The kids loved it!!! I think my favorite was Aiden opening his Nintendo DS and being extremely excited! Hunter was so excited about what everyone else was getting that she forgot to open her presents. Hadley just chilled.
