Mr. is 26.

mr. turned 26!
i'm now posting his birthday...
only two months late (thumbs up for me)
i surprised him with a new lawn mower...yes he wanted it!
he has been borrowing our neighbors. BUT they moved so our grass was so tall pippa wouldn't even potty in the backyard ... high maintenance dog or out of control scary grass...
which one do you think? maybe a little bit of both.

i made him his fav cake... it's actually a ice cream pie.
with pistachio almond blue bell...taste a lot like toasted almond from fentons.
i made hot fudge too! (thumbs up for...for reals this time)
btw the crust is nutter-butters.

and we must not forget cinnamon rolls.
gotta stick to tradition.
i came home during sunday school (we live 2 blocks from the church) and decorated/got the rolls out to rise/get the lawn mower out of the box and ready.
we got home from church and he was so confused..."what the...when did you do this..."
he was so confused.

this pic is hilar. the string right in his face...trying out my new iphone tripod. 

we got home from church changed into swim suites ate cinnamon rolls opened a couple gifts then headed to the pool for a couple hours.

he was so excited to use his new "toy" that right when we got done at the pool he started up the engine. i've never seen him so eager to do chores.

another crack up pic with the new tripod. 

pippa was so much help setting up. 

schumacher's aren't really into birthday's (i try so hard to make them a big deal, but at the end of the day andrew doesn't really care)
mr. is like my mom made me chocolate cake sheet cake with vanilla frosting and sprinkles every year...i don't need anything blah blah blah...i say NO way...birthdays should be a weekend event at the very least ;)
i kept this year totes low key...birthday wishes must be granted, right?

Happy Birthday Mr.

i can't believe he's 26...it seems like yesterday i was decorating his car in the high school parking lot for his 17th birthday.
time goes by so fast...for reals.
goodness gracious i'm glad he was born.
my life wouldn't be nearly as funny or fun!
there would be no laughing till you can't breathe.
there would be no breaking bad marathons while eating hot chocolate chip cookies at midnight
(on a work night).
there would be no movies with popcorn and dc every friday night.
there would be donuts before the gym.

happy birthday to my favorite person in the whole wide world!
(my world is so much better with you in it, no doubt about it)
or as kelly clarkson would say..."my life would suck without you!"

lol found these pics "college pics" 

this morning i left sunday school to get something from the "car"

aka i drove home (it's little 2 mins away)

decorated a little bit. 

when we got home he was totes surprised. 

just a couple pics from this post church birthday celebration ...part 1 of course...right now mr. is mowing the lawn with his most recent gift...someone was a little eager to start using it...
sometimes he reminds me of a 7 year old. ya know what i mean? remember when you opened gifts and HAD to use them RIGHT then RIGHT there!! haha gosh that's why i love him.

happy birthday love!
i love you.

5.

penelope turned 5 when i was in oregon babysitting. we had a pre-celebration. i took her to the bakery to pick out a cupcake. she wore a crown. i curled her hair. and she opened a little something from texas. a penny necklace. she was so cute when she opened it. penny always gets really excited when she opens gifts. and says "oh my, I LOVE it, it's so beautiful!"

a girl only turns 5 once.
