McQuade Renuion 2010-Bear Lake

We had a McQuade family reunion at Bear Lake this year. Everyone but Michael, who is in Korea on his mission, was able to come. Megan and Monte were awesome-they came up with the theme and the place, and planned tons of fun activities for adults and for the kids. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Also my mom and dad were amazing-they footed the bill for the house and food (which there was a TON) MAJOR THANKS to them too!!! From Monday to Saturday we played games, swam, played games, played volley ball, played games, sang, and of course played games!!! And our MAJOR news was Karli took her very first steps. I have so many pictures that I just did I slide show and then a video of Karli's first steps.

Karli's 1st Birthday

For Karli's birthday we went up to Colorado so she could have a fun party with her cousins. She had her Grandpa and Grandma Schoonie, Megan and her family, Ben and his family, Mandy and Rick, and even Lacey and Mark who came down for the weeknend. All came to her party! Although she had no idea what was going on she sure had fun and so did we!!!



Karli and Samantha (Megan's youngest)

Mithchel, Samantha and Karli all playing.

Yummy Food!!!

Karli sees her cake, but mostly just wants the sparkly think that's sticking out of it.

"Cake?...I don't know what you're talking about... I didn't eat any cake!"

Karli got a lot of fun toys, and one of her favorites was this bike/walker thing. She doesn't quite get the bike part of it so we just keep it pulled up so she uses it as a walker. There's a video of her walking with at the end of the post.

Karli gets her new dress and new shoes on for church.

Schoonmaker Reunion 2010

In June we had a family reunion in Utah where ALMOST everyone (we missed you Nicki) got to come. It was so fun to see everyone and even though Jeremy and I have been married almost 2 years and dating for over 5 years it was the first time I got to meet a few of Jeremy's siblings which was great!! So here's some pictures from that.

Our first day we walked around BYU campus and went to the Bean Museum which Karli LOVED because she loves animals! (dead or alive apparently) This picture is taken before we went to the museum it is of Karli and her mom and Evaleen and her mom.

Karli and her cousin Estella Grace (Robbie's youngest)


Jeremy is holding Karli and Ruby and they are not quite sure what they think about it.


One of the really fun things we did was go to a jumping place... it was like a big gymnastics training area and it had trampolines, mats, a big pit full of little foam cubes you could jump into...and it had sumo suits... which as you see in this picture and the following video Jeremy and Trista found.

Pre-Move Favorites

We have so many pictures and videos for the last few months so I am just going to do a bunch of posts to get caught up. This first one is just some random pictures from before we moved.


This is a collage that I made of our pretty lady!


This is one of the all time favorites of McQuade children everywhere. The hat/boat/t-shirt story that my dad does with the newspaper. She is cute in her hat!


Karli and her Grandma.


Karli found one of her mom's hair ties and decided it was quite tasty...she looks like she has a goatee or something.


Karli got to try a shake from Sonic...big mistake we couldn't get it back from her.


Brushing her teeth all by herself...she's cool!


Grandma Schoonie got her a new book, and they are reading it together.
