First grade started off in our townhouse which meant a new bus route and stop with a different routine. Bennett handled all the changes well, and was pumped to get back to school for 1st grate. Look very handsome in his school picture. </div>

Sophia was excited to get in on the bus stop walk and event attempted to walk to the stop in the afternoon in her barbie heels. She did it, but it was painful to watch!!</div>

Bennett's 2nd D-team comp was at Buck Hill. Travis and I had done plenty of prepping for the first one - the age groups are different, it is your first time with D-Team, you did great on the slopestyle and big air. But remember that their are A LOT of kids competing. And then he took first! WOW, I am pretty sure you could have picked Travis and I up off the floor after his name was called. After the results came out, we talked about his score - could the judges have mixed up? Or wrote sloppy and they didn't write the score correctly?!? Anyways, today our minds were convinced as he pulled off a 2nd place victory at Buck Hill. We are pretty proud of our little guy!!</div>

What is better than watching a bunch of two year olds attempt to do gymnastics? When you don't have to be out on the floor to help! Allison had the honors when the girls were here for Tio Don's funeral. Sophia loved it and Isabella and I could not stop laughing as we watched Allison who chased Sophia around for a half hour! </div>

4 times a year our Rotaract club serves dinner at Grace Place in New Richmond. This past October, we were on the schedule and I was part of the serving crew. My parents were out of town, Travis was picking up Bennett so Sophia and I were running as a team. She fell asleep on the car ride up to New Richmond. What does a mom of a 2nd baby do in that situation? Take the car seat in, of course! Now, one of the gals who was with and two of the residents, who are all first time parents were looking at me with crazy eyes. You are bringing her in, in the car seat. "Oh you bet I am. And she is going to sleep through the whole meal!" This was her after all the food was prepared and served. Still sleeping away right next to me in the kitchen. After the clean up, I loaded her car seat back up in the car, Sophia still sleeping and she woke up about 5 minutes from home. WINNING!!</div>

You may call it a family tradition, but every year when I was growing up my parents would take me to the Halloween parade in Hudson at EP Rock. It is the longest running community event in Hudson, sponsored by the Rotary clubs. We have continued the tradition with our kids and this was the first year that Bennett gave me some push back. He didn't want to go, didn't want to walk in the parade, and certainly did not want to wear the "box" that I had spent hours making for him. He was the fire man in the fire station and Sophia was his dalmation. He reluctantly put the box on for the judging and parade. And to his surprise, when they announced the winners - Bennett Schneider was called for 2nd place. After he was done, beaming with pride, I told him "See, mom knows what I am doing sometimes." I am already planning out costumes for Halloween 2015. So far none are "Bennett approved." Stay tuned!</div>

It was the house where Travis and I started our married life. Where we brought both of our babies home to. Where sleepless nights were spent rocking them, wondering if we would ever get a full night sleep again. Where the carpet helped cushion their falls from their first steps. Where the playroom got a little more full with each passing day as more gear and toys were needed. Where we spent many holiday's coloring eggs, setting out cookies and milk for Santa, watching fireworks out the windows. Where Bennett walked to the end of the driveway to get on the bus for his first ride to River Crest for the first day of Kindergarten. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This house served us very well. We love all of the memories that we made there, but we know that what the future holds is even better! </div>

Yes, its about one year later, but let me tell you in that time a lot has happened. We listed our house on the market, sold our house, moved into a town house, started building a new house - which is almost done (20 days), Bennett's in 1st grade, Sophia is getting ready for the farm school in April… the list goes on and on.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I am not going to go through the I will post, or how I need to post more. Instead, I will just talk about a fall day that we had so much fun. The kids loved helping Papa with the yard work, leaves are the best!!<br />

Work, Work, WORK!! Yes, it is currently busy season. Each year seems like it is busier than the previous for Travis. This year is no exception. He has been traveling for the past 4 weeks. Will spend 2 weeks in the office and then gone for another week. We are counting down the days to April 15th, but have a ways to go. As always we get through the months with help from my parents and always say that it is better to have Travis' overly busy compared with the alternative.<br />
<br />
As though we did not have enough on our plate, we are now partners with Kevin & Rita in the Orange Leaf in Hudson and Eau Claire. It is a great opportunity for Travis and myself and we are both super excited working together and having a common goal.<br />
<br />
Bennett is having a good year in Kindergarten. It is still a bit of a transition with school times and his sleeping. 5 full days of kindergarten is a lot and he is exhausted at the end of the week. He has made friends, has grown as a student by leaps and bounds and of course enjoys the old favorites - phy ed and recess!<br />
<br />
Bennett competed in his first official snowboard competition with the USASA this past weekend at Afton. It was a great experience for him. He was in the boardercross and while that is not a discipline that he would normally participate in, he did a great job. He has also started private lessons at Trollhaugen and is looking forward to working with a Terrain park instructor. I can't wait to see what Bennett has in store for the future. I know he is going to do great things.<br />
<br />
Sophia is still along for the ride at the moment. Enjoying being at home with Nana and living the good life. We are thrilled to have my mom watching her during the day now that she is in retirement. Though she was very worried about life after school, it has continued on and if I dare say, she is <strike>enjoying</strike> loving it. I know that soon enough Sophia is going to have her own events that she will be participating in. So I am relishing in the fact that we are only driving one kiddo to practice, games, events, concerts. Bennett will have his turn soon enough to sit and watch Sophia practice and participate.<br />
<br />
We are taking it one day at a time and count each day as a blessing with all that we have been given.<br />

Yes, you read that right. We have 20 months in the books and are creeping in on the 2 year mark. Hard to believe that our little baby girl is now a toddler. She is such a fun loving little doll who has a mind of her own. She knows what she wants, and she knows how to get it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She enjoys…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eating</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Following Bennett around</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Playing with Oliver</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yelling "Mom" at everyone and everything</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She dislikes…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having her pants changed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bedtime</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sleeping through the night</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her looks…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fine hair that is starting to fill in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Petite compared to Bennett, but filling out and growing up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gives you the big toothy smile whenever she is doing something she shouldn't</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her words… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
MOM! MOM! MOM! MOM! MOM!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh yes, a few others. Go, Bye, Hi, MOM! Dada, Did I mention MOM?!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her fashion… </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Considering most days it is below zero she likes to stay inside and sport her pjs. Nice and comfy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel so blessed to be able to call this little babe my girl! </div>

Well, tomorrow is the big day. I have been running for about a month and a half and tomorrow is my 5k running through the UW-RF campus. I am looking forward to it and hoping to have a great report with pictures to prove it! </div>

Bennett had his first field trip of kindergarten at the end of September. I was lucky enough to be able to chaperone... the perks of being your own boss and working in town! Loading up the bus, sitting three to a seat... it all brought back memories of my own field trips! It was so fun to be able to be with Bennett, meet some of his friends and see him interact with his friends and Mrs. Vanasse. All four classes went, so over 80 kindergartners swarmed the orchard, picnic tables and playground. I felt so bad for a few mom's that had brought kiddos to the orchard for the morning. The "big kids" were going crazy on the playground! But everyone had a blast and came home with a few apples. I followed up my field trip to helping with the apple party later in the week. We made applesauce, checked to see if they would sink or float, measured our apples and colored pictures of them. </div>

We had our family pictures taken a couple of weeks ago. This one sure did capture my heart. It has less to do with the background or the picture, but more to do with how you can see the bond and love between Bennett and Sophia. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before Sophia was born, so many people warned me of the jealousy, fighting, yelling... everything they say that goes along with siblings. I had braced myself expecting that these two would be no different. Luckily, I was so wrong. Truly the only fault Bennett has is that he loves his sister too much! He always wants to be with her, hugging her, loving her, holding her. Up to the point where she lets out a big scream as if to say give me my space. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can not wait to see their relationship develop as the years go by. </div>

This year we had Chef Bennett and Lobster Sophia. Though they did not win a prize at the Rotary parade, we still got lots of compliments on how cute they were! Sophia sat happily in her pot, posing just like a good little lobster! Then that evening, Zander, Zoe and Ryder came over to head out trick or treating! The boys ran from house to house and filled almost two buckets of candy. It was madness! We had well over 200 trick or treaters at our house, too! </div>

Throughout the week several mama friends of mine have sent their own littles on the big yellow bus to kindergarten for the first day. I have talked with some and watched others with pictures from afar. Listening to the stories and experiences, I feel like I have a bit of an advantage in sending Bennett tomorrow. But still, when Bennett woke up this am I knew today was different. It was the end of the life that we have come to know over the past 5 years. 5 years...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How is it that in what seems like a blink of an eye we bring this little guy home from the hospital. A new baby, enjoying the scents, the smirks, noises and taking in every moment as a new mommy and daddy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pTmVKxrbHDg/UilYLc7ph0I/AAAAAAAADVY/r-MtIvBQto0/s1600/bennett+home.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pTmVKxrbHDg/UilYLc7ph0I/AAAAAAAADVY/r-MtIvBQto0/s320/bennett+home.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We start the journey of raising him to be a fun loving, caring little guy who then takes off on his first adventures without us. Still in the comforts of a wonderful, loving home with Heather. This becomes a second family - friends still to this day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3wlxvMTvyoU/UilYLC1uCjI/AAAAAAAADVU/YjrdZYzMJaA/s1600/DAYCARE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3wlxvMTvyoU/UilYLC1uCjI/AAAAAAAADVU/YjrdZYzMJaA/s320/DAYCARE.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the time comes to open his wings a little more and we move on to preschool for a couple of half days a week. A new adventure that Bennett welcomed with open arms. I was a Children's Farm alumni and knew what an awesome time he was going to have at Farm School. He grew, gained independence, taught us a lot about the outdoors and showed us how adventurous and flexible he was. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W4VSvj43tgM/UilXXneWcoI/AAAAAAAADUI/2kIc6FZtydg/s1600/IMG_0279.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W4VSvj43tgM/UilXXneWcoI/AAAAAAAADUI/2kIc6FZtydg/s320/IMG_0279.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="213" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that follows a year of 2 full days of preschool a week. Again in a small, loving, caring environment at Bethel Highlands Preschool. What a great start to traditional schooling - where all the teachers and students know your name and a little about you. He is preparing to leave the nest and the comforts of the known. But really we know that the preparation is more for us then him. He is ready! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And now here we sit on the eve of his first day of kindergarten. How can it be our baby is off to school? It is a big world out there and I know that Bennett has so much to offer. I know the he has all the tools and skills he needs to be successful - tomorrow he will spread his wings on his own and fly! </div>

Bennett made his way through level one and two this summer in swimming lessons at the middle school pool. He did a great job for a month at lessons every day. He loved going to the pool and showed all of his hard work off when he would swim with me. In this picture the girl with her back to the photo is one of my former students - Hannah - who was now a teacher to Bennett. </div>

Here are the three Schneider cousins! Try to get a picture with all of them looking and smiling - IMPOSSIBLE! I think I took about 40 pictures and this was about the best. At least all three of the faces are towards the camera! </div>

Pretty sure that we will see this same image about 10 years from now. I can tell you that I sure hope time slows down between now and then - I am not ready for the two of them to grow up and head out into the world. For now we will enjoy the time of brother and sister riding around in their mustang! He drives, she laughs and the circle continues!! </div>

Birthday celebrations are wonderful especially when they last for a few months! Bennett and Sophia celebrated for the last time when we were at the cabin in July! You can see by this picture all they really need are balloons! </div>

Bennett had his first sleepover this past weekend. Zander spent Saturday night at our house. The boys had so much fun! We went to the Washington Co. fair, had dinner, played games, had a bon fire with smores! It was an evening filled with fun. I think the pictures tell the story!</div>
