Todd and Lindsey Schlensker Family: January 2017

7 Months for Ash

Once 7 months hits, the sign is always in trouble.

Oooh - what's this?

Got it

But thanks for smiling at least

"Where'd that sign go?"

"I'm not smiling unless you tell me where that sign went."

Our sign holder went crazy

If that's a smile - that's...fun.

"I wanna hold Ashley!"

And...here's our crew

Our crew - Booger, Confused, Double Sunglasses, and Crazy

Like I've always said - Happy Anna is Fun Anna

I'm not sure what has them all mesmerized

Things tend to get out of hand quickly

The girls always just want a simple, happy, pumpkin. You got it. They all enjoyed feeling the guts inside. The Poe's came over again and our girls stayed out as long as they ever have. Mae hung with the Poe's and was way ahead of the rest of us. Lindsey took Ashley home when she fell asleep and Grandma Weez stayed with me to finish up with tired Anna and very tired Brooklyn. It was a fun night (2 nights).

Happy Halloween!

Recitals

Mae and Anna had a Halloween ballet recital. Mae chose not to participate. Lucky for Anna, their teammate Caroline was there (different class, but performance is altogether). It was a fun performance. Mae also had a piano recital the following day and with that, she came through!

Kid is cute, man

She loves crowns

Applause

Trunk or Treat

Our Ward Trunk or Treat. Mae was going to be Elsa, but after not liking the fit of the dress, she repeated (from two years ago) as Little Red Riding Hood. Anna was Sleeping Beauty, Brooklyn was Tinkerbell, and Ashley was still the Super Chubb.

Beautiful

The Month/Year of Six

Just as quick as Ashley turned 6 months, our Mae Mae cakes turned six. It was a day of presents, singing from a foreign country, being a car rider TO school, taking snakes and rings to school for everyone, being a car rider after school to the park, fun at the park with sisters, pizza, and of course - Oreo pie! It was a great day for her and it's hard to believe she's 6.

Birthday breakfast of choice - Cinnamon Toast Crunch

It was a little trickier to get the candle in cereal rather than the normal birthday muffin

Gifts!

"Happy Birthday" song from an unlikely choir - not everyone gets sung to Live from El Salvador

Magnifying

"Happy Birthday"

Well who wouldn't want to make their Oreo pie with goggles on?

Safety first

Park fun

She got 'em all

Love that Oreo pie

A great day

Six-ish

We missed her ACTUAL 6 month day - thought about it for 2 days - but were a little late. We got her though...and don't think she looks THAT much different from the 10th to the 12th.
