Schaeffer's 5th Birthday

My baby is no longer a baby. He turned 5 this summer and will be headed to Kindergarten in just a few weeks. We had a great birthday party at Cheer Texas in Amarillo. Our family and friends were there to celebrate. The kids loved Cheer Texas and it was a great place for the party.

Schaeffer is the, "Biggest, Baddest, SuperHero and nothing can stop him."

Livin' the Life

We spent the week in Las Vegas and had a wonderful time. We rented a mini-van and Schaeffer loved it. He got to sit in the third seat the entire trip and thought he was "Livin' the Life". He loved it, he had his own cup holder, hook, air vent and reclining seat. Every time we got in the car he would ask the other passengers, "Don't you wish you could be livin' the life in the back with me?".

We also spent lots of time in the swimming pool and at the amusement park. This was more of a family trip then a gambling trip. Jason and I did gamble a bit, but were not successful.

Schaeffer's Thoughts

This weekend we attended a birthday party for a family friend. It was his 90th birthday and held in a museum in Lubbock. During the party, Schaeffer was playing in a spot of the building that was not too clean. It has spiderwebs and tons of dirt. I told Schaeffer to get up, it was dirty down there. He said back to me, "Mom how can I ever have any fun?"

I just let him continue to play.

Oklahoma City

Saturday morning, Jason, Schaeffer, Farmer and I headed off to Oklahoma City. This was very last minute, but tons of fun. We went to Bricktown, the water park and Celebration Station. Schaeffer and Farmer get along so well. Farmer is so nice to him and really takes care of him. Schaeffer loves having someone to hang with other than Jason or myself. Farmer is 16 and as long as he wants to travel with us, he is more than welcome to! 

End of the Year

We are all anxious about the beginning of summer vacation. It seems harder and harder for the Underwood's to wake up each school morning.  Schaeffer loves it when I tell him, "We have NO plans afterschool." That means we can come straight home and he can play in his beautiful backyard until bed time.

Here is a picture of Schaeffer and Maddox. They are the best of friends.

Schaeffer's Time to Shine

Schaeffer played his last Wee Ball Basketball game and he did excellent. He scored 8 points, had 10 rebounds and 4 jumpballs. He finally acted like he was interested in the game. He said he wants to win all of the games. He even visited with the coach a little on the sidelines.
