It has been a long, long time since my last blog! We have been so stinkin' busy, I have lost all track of time! Let's see, what is new with the Schnackenberg's?
Oh yes, Greg and I turned 30! Man, I can remember being a teenager and thinking that 30 was OLD! I wasn't going to let the big 3-0 slip by, especially since our birthdays are so close together. However, I knew HE would never go for a big party, so it would have to be a surprise! And what better way to celebrate than to make it an 80s theme in honor of our birth year? Greg was so completely surprised, and was such a good sport! We had so much fun, and it was definitely a night we will never forget. I already posted a lot of pictures from the night on Facebook, so here are just a couple of my favs!

| My friend Elizabeth captured us when we walked in and saw everybody waiting for us! |
 |
| The fact that my mom, sister, and niece came from Wisconsin made the night even more special! |

| I love this pic! Laura and I singing "I Love Rock and Roll" |
I have also been crazy busy with The Cake Momma! I think this is the first week I haven't had an order in almost 2 months. I entered in a Cupcake Competition last weekend, and my vanilla cupcake filled with strawberries, topped with white chocolate buttercream icing won me $100! Here are some of my projects of late.

We went to the St. Patrick's Day parade again this year. Always a good time!

We finally got our foundation fixed...YAHOOO!! Now, hopefully Greg will be able to sleep at night. None of his worst fears happened: our floor didn't buckle, and pipes didn't burst. In fact, everything works much better now: the garage door works again, and the dishwasher and shower doors don't stick anymore! Crazy how functional your house can be when it's level!

| They poured cement and installed jacking pads to lift the north end of our house 2.5 inches! |
 |
| I think we had about 6 gigantic holes. |

| Damn the Yazoo Clay in Mississippi!! |
Let's see, what else? Oh Yeah! Diddle diddle dotty, Lexi's using the potty! I thought she was ready a couple of months ago and started the potty training process. BUT, I was wrong. She had no problem sitting on the potty...she would do that for hours as long as she had a book to read (as you will see in the video)! But, she never tee-teed (southern term). Nope, she would do that in her big girl underwear seconds after she got OFF the potty! I decided that she was too young and said forget it. I started sitting her on the potty again a few weeks ago, and this time it was like magic! It all clicked and she got it. She has been wearing big girl underwear ever since, and has had very few accidents! Yay, no more diapers!!!! Here is a video Greg snuck in and got during our first potty training attempt. Don't mind her totally non matching outfit, that was probably her 3rd or 4th change of pants that day!
Well, I think you are now caught up on life with the Schnacks. I promise I will try to update more often!
