The "Thankyou heard ' round the world!"

A couple of hours after putting Kellene to bed tonight, she woke up crying with a tummy ache because she was constipated (yet againd). It was one of those "hurt" cries. After pushing a crying for what seemed like an eternity, I decided to give her a liqued glycerin suppository. By this time she was screaming in pain and she was impacted. Trying to do anything we could to ease her pain and help her to feel comfortable daddy put in one of her favorite movies, "Baby Einstein". After doing so, through her tears and what was some of the worst pain she's probably ever felt she looked up at daddy and said the most heartfelt, angelic, "Thankyou Daddy". That promptly brought tears to both mommy and daddy's eyes. It is a thnakyou that we will never forget

Grandma Beach

Kellene's Grandma and Grandpa Beach (Nate's parents) arrived in town yesterday after a 12 hour drive from Portland, Or. They reside in Tillamook, Or, right on the beach. Kellene immediately warmed right up to them again. She took a nap with Grandma while I went to the Dr. and Nate and Grandpa started their project of laying new flooring in our downstairs(more pictures to follow).


Grandma's fun idea to ride the big stuffed bear on the ottoman of the glider in her room

Posing for some pics with Grandma

Bubble Bath Fun

Kellene had fun in the bath tonight. I pulled the camera out and took a few quick shots and then put it away. Kellene promtly said, "more camera mommy, cheese!"
That got me, so I gave in and took a few more pics of her.

Daddy's Birthday

For Daddy's birthday Mommy and Kellene took him lunch at work and brought him some balloons.

Since Kellene is in love with "Mack" from the movie "Cars", she loves to go to Daddy's work and see "Mack". She walks around the trucking yard and goes up to every big orange truck and calls it "Mack"
She also says "Hi Mack" to every semi truck we pass on the road or parked in a parking lot.



Kellene helped Daddy blow out the candles on his birthday cake and then she enjoyed eating it.



Kellene wants to say hi to all Daddy's Schneider friends in Southern Cali. Feel free to look at our blog and comment on it.

Such a Poser!

Kellene has had a busy couple of weeks. We had a special visitor in sacrament meeting las week. L. Tom Perry from the Quorum of the 12 Apostles. After the meeting, Kellene and I went up to shake his hand, and Kellene blew him a kiss.


The one thing she doesn't like is being woken up from a nap!

On Thurs. Kellene and I went skiing again. She did really well and even started shuffle her feet back and forth in line. We did a record of 7 runs. She is so fearless!!!




This is the way that Kellene likes to be carried to her room after her nightly bath.

A True Snowbunny!!!

We decided to start Kellene skiing this year. She likes it alot. She has been twice so far. My goal is to take her once a week. The child is fearless!!!




We took Kellene to Gorgoza Park, which is a lift serviced tubing hill. She loved it and had fun as long as we kept her moving in her kiddie tube.
