Dear Mr. Garbage Man,

Please stop waking me and my mommy up every Monday, Wednesday AND Friday with your ridiculously loud truck. How's a man supposed to get some sleep?

Regards,
The Man (aka Parker Schmidt)

This is only a test...

I wanted to see if this mobile blogging thing works. Guess so!

Labor Day

This Labor Day we finally took our first trip to the beach! We went down to Del Mar (which is only 15 min. from our house BTW!) with our friends Bob and Becky, and their little boy Shane. We had such a fun day!

Parker fell alseep while chilling on the beach,Sam did some boogie boarding,


and later in the day Parker got his tan on at the pool!

Happy Anniversary

Yesterday Sam and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary. We can't believe it's been so long! A lot has happened to us the past 3 years.

We've moved 4 times and bought (and sold) our first home.

We took lots of vacations!

We've made many good friends.And best of all, it was a year ago on our anniversary that we found out we were adding this little guy to our family!

I love you Sam! Here's to a gazillion more anniversaries!

Provolone

Here's some pictures from our recent trip to Utah!

We were able to see Lucy who was at EFY at BYU while we were there.

Saturday we drove up to Park City to see the Rasbands, our friends from State College. We love them and miss them!

Saturday night was spent up at Sam's aunt and uncle's house in Bountiful with Jeff, Chelsie, Lauren, and Tod.

Just a little yoga by the pool

Cracka Barrell. Jenny and I not so happy to be there apparently.

Three Months Old

Parker recently turned three months old! Sam and I think he looks HUGE compared to when he was born. It's amazing how fast he's growing; he's definitely not a newborn anymore. It seems like he's doing more and more new things everyday. He loves to smile (especially at Sam) and he's showing the beginnings of a laugh. He's starting to reach for things, and he really likes to grab my hair. He's an amazing little guy and we can't get enough of him!

Life's more fun in San Diego

So Sam and I lived in State College for TWO YEARS and no one came to visit us. But once we move to San Diego, suddenly everyone is dying to see us! (Maybe it has something to do with Parker, but whatever). A couple weeks ago Sam's family and my brother Drew came out to visit. We did some sightseeing in San Diego, and they all got to enjoy Disney and the beach. It was great to see everybody! Here's a few pictures from the visit.

Sarah and her creepy boyfriend Justin. He's actually not creepy at all, just looks it in this picture :)

Uncle Stafford

Uncle Drew



Everyone at Seaport Village

We also met up with some old friends recently. This is Sam's roommate, Justin, from training. He's moving back to Minnesota, so we got to visit with him before he took off!

And this is Sam's old roommate from BYU, Randy. He came over to visit while Sarah was here. He's a crack up!

Today is also Parker's 3 month birthday!! I haven't taken a picture of him yet, but it's coming soon! Off to Utah tomorrow!!!
