Morgan's Visit to KC

We were finally able to coordinate calendars and Morgan and Ben made the trip down to KC for the weekend.  We spent most of the weekend watching football, but Morgan and I still found time to do what we  do best when we are together....shop!  Love you Morg and can't wait to spend another weekend with you guys soon!

Breaking The News

We traveled back to Iowa the weekend of October 8th and broke the news about the new addition to our family.  No, it wasn't a cat this time.

We brought Ace back to the farm to live with Grandma and Grandpa Currie.  We tied a card around his neck that said
"Thank you so much for letting me come live on the farm.  I got kicked out of my current house to make room for Baby Currie."

It was a week away from Grandpa Lageschulte's birthday so I baked a cake that had our due date on it.
As you can tell from the cake, I won't be entering any cake decorating contests anytime soon. 

We broke the news to Grandma and Grandpa Schoenherr with a onesie.  K'Lyn and Aaron gave them an Iowa onesie when they were pregnant so I decided to give them an ISU onesie with a note that said, "Now you can have one that wears the right colors."

Steve and Chelsey's Wedding

Congratulations to Steve and Chelsey! 

Married September 17th, 2011

Mark's speech had people laughing hysterically so I figured I would post a small excerpt. Below is his top 10 advice list for the newly married couple...

10a. Everybody goes #2.
10b. If you need to brighten your day, watch Steven try to swallow a pill.  I suggest chewable dime-
        a-tap tablets if he has a cold.
9.       Listen to each other.  You don’t always have to solve your spouse’s problems; sometimes they just want to let off some steam.
8.       Start planning where you will spend the holidays several years in advance.
7.       Make financial decisions as a team.
6.       Pick your battles. If you know she wants a purple one, get a purple one. Its not that big of a deal.
5.       Think about how your actions and words affect your spouse.
4.       Don’t get into electronics arguments with Steven, because you will lose.
3.       Use your parents and grandparents as a guide for your relationship. 
2.       Grace and mercy always prevail……if your spouse runs the car into a concrete wall in a parking garage, you have to swallow your anger and just be there for a hug…right Angie?
1.       Grow together in your faith and make it a topic of conversation.

Sister's Vacation

Sister's Vacation 2011

April 28th - May 2nd

We took advantage of Jeff's free Southwest tickets and traveled to Clearwater, Florida for our first ever sister's vacation.  We spent the whole time reading our books on the beach, eating sushi, and parasailing.  What an amazing trip!  I hope we can make this a tradition!

Megan's first time eating sushi...we're so proud of you!

Free shots from the bartender becuase his hockey team won...but I really
think it's because he couldn't resist the Schoenherr/Lageschulte sisters!
