And the Thesis is Almost Done

Just wanted to tell everyone that i finished the fourth chapter of my thesis today and am looking forward to finishing the much shorter conclusion this weekend. if all goes according to plan, i will have my thesis completely done by the first of April and will be well on my way to graduation! YEAH!!!!! In case you did not know and would like to make arrangements, commencement is on the 12th of May, and we will be having a Graduation/1st Birthday party for Aiden and myself following the graduation ceremony. We hope that all of you can come and celebrate with us, but we understand that travel and such is difficult to arrange at times, so we wish you all the best and understand that you will be there in spirit.

Cheers,
Price

More Pictures of Paige

Here are a few more pictures of Paige (all cleaned up). (I can't quite figure out how to write a caption for the pictures. Oh well...I'll keep working on it and I'm sure I'll figure it out sometime.) So far, she has been a wonderful baby. She hates having her diaper changed and getting a bath, but other than that, her awake times are very calm and happy. We'll see how long it lasts! We hope everyone else is doing well.

Josie Pictures

I made it onto the blog!! Ed, Josie, and I are still doing great. Josie is posing for pictures for me. Not sure if she likes it. But here are a couple that we thought were cute. She still has no teeth and she inchworms and trys to crawl and loves her new walker. She follows me around the kitchen hitting my toes with it.

This is her first swing ride at the park. The little daredevil loved it. Had enough of her yet?

Well, now that we've figured it out(except for the formating.), we loved seeing and reading about the family. Keep em coming.

Paige Ann

We are excited to announce our newest family member: Paige Ann. She was born at 11:35 a.m. on March 7th. She weighed 5 pounds, and was 18 inches long. She has Greg's chin and my nose. Unfortunately, she also has my dad's hairline (dark hair on the sides and back, but very little on top). We just need to glue bows to her head until her hair fills in. She is an absolute joy in our home! Austin and Macy absolutely adore her (and Greg and I are pretty smitten with her as well)!

My good friend is a professional photographer and asked if she could document the birth. So, here are some of the more "tasteful" pictures that she took. This is Macy's 3-year-old picture as well. (For the record, we do still take pictures of Austin, I just don't have one to post right now.)

Life in paradise

This is a quick update from Jeff and Christin and Steve. In case you hadn't heard, we all moved to Maui just before Christmas. It was rough going to begin with, but we're starting to get into the groove of things now.

It wasn't long before we found a cute little ohana to rent. We (read Christin) are still working on getting the place decorated like we like it, but at least it's suitable for living. Here's a picture of Chris and Steve in front of our place:


On Christmas day we all took a hike up Haleakala crater, which makes up the East side of Maui. It rises to over 10,000 feet. Here's Chris and Steve at the top:


And of course being at the top looking into the crater made me and Steve want to backpack into it. So the next week we did just that. We took about 4 days and explored the whole place. We ran into all sorts of terrain from desert to rain forest. It's was beautiful:




So right now I'm working at a tax office doing tax returns (what else?), Christin is doing massages, and Steve is working as a bellhop at one of the big hotels here (he just saw Christian Bale and Steven Tyler the other day).

More recently we all took a Saturday and hiked around Poli Poli State Park. It's on the side of Haleakala, and one of the few places where redwood trees flourish like they do here:



Sadly, a couple days after we were there someone started a forest fire there and burned thousands of acres of the park. All started with a discarded cigarette. Broke my heart. We're anxious to revisit the park and see what's left.

And here's one last picture of all of us on our trip around West Maui mountain:



So, in short, things are good here. We'll keep you posted on all our adventures. Now that we have a computer and at least limited internet at the house we can update more. Hope all is well with the rest of the family.

Aloha!

Just thought we would send some random pictures for fun: Tyler and Rachel on Halloweeen, Lindsay and her date for Homecoming, Henry Eyring (Grandson of Henry B Eyring, son of Henry J Eyring); and Rachel and Aiden playing on the floor. Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving from Idaho!

Abby's Blessing

Hi, this is Lexy. I just wanted to share some pics of Abby in her blessing dress. Abby was blessed on October 8th. It was a beaultiful blessing and I am just loving being a mom. Today Abby laughed for the first time. It was just once, but believe me I tried everything I could think of to get her to do it again. No luck. She is already stuborn.

Linda Gets It

Hi everyone! Linda is finally logged into the blog and we are trying to figure it all out. She'll do her best! (alexie is typing and really logged in for her). More exciting things to come, like pictures of the new kitchen (hopefully soon) and grandchildren (no, that does not mean anyone new is pregnant :o) ).

Phun in Philly

Hello everyone! My mom said that I needed to post about our recent trip to Philadelphia, so here it is. Theron sold security systems in Indiana this summer and for an incentive in August, he set a goal and the company said they would fly him to Philly to attend an Eagles game if he met it. Well, consistent with the entire summer, he met his goal with room to spare. We were able to fly there, stay in a hotel, and attend a Monday night game against the Packers. We sat in row 15 seats on the 25 yard line. The Eagles were way behind at the end of the first half, but were able to come back in the 3rd quarter to win. It was an experience we won't soon forget.

Hi! Just though I would post a couple of pictures so that when someone joins they will have something to see. Here is a picture of Tyler at the completion of his Eagle project. He prepared the ground and laid some sod in our park next to a new path. The other one is Lindsay dressed up in one of Linda's old jumpers--I thought the resemblence was pretty good! (And see our new fireplace minus the mantle in the background).

It has been so long since we have seen any Schow family members! Theron and I are back home in Rexburg and started classes yesterday. We are both trying to figure out which classes we really want to take this semester. I am excited to be a senior and Theron is excited to begin the nursing program. For his orientation he was in class from 1:00-8:00. It was a very loooong day. It may be a while before we get into the swing of things. The hardest part is finding time to eat! We miss all of you!

Welcome to the Schow Family Blog

Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to say welcome to the Family Blog. Sarah and I look forward to hearing from everyone and being able to keep up with all the recent additions to the family.

Cheers,
Price, Sarah, and Aiden
