First ever Schanz family blog!!!!!!!!!

7-31-09


Welcome to the first ever Schanz family blog!!!! I am very excited about blogging about our family. I am not sure how often I will blog yet, but if it's anything like facebook or twitter, then I'll blog quite a bit. Lucky you!! So it has been an eventful summer at the Schanz house. First I was excited for the kids to get out of school. Now I am excited for them to go back to school. ALL DAY!!! Kammie will be starting school for the first time this fall and she is sooooo excited. Kenna will go to 5th grade and Koen will go to 2nd grade. Kampman will just hang with mom.


Jed got a job with a hotel group in June. Then he quit 2 weeks later to take a job at Creekstone Farms in Ark City. Yep, He's in the beef business. Hopefully it is the job he has been looking for. Jed is also marathon training again. This time I think he is going to do the Wichita marathon, but there's still a chance he will be doing the Kansas City marathon. The problem is: it is the same weekend, October 17th & 18th. I guess we'll see what he decides. I am training for the half marathon. I plan on doing the marathon relay with a friend, but if it doesn't work out then I might just do the half marathon in KC with Jed. Pray that I can just do the training. God knows I need the prayers. I am not a runner...at all.


My brother Justin visited us this summer from Austrailia.(sp?) He brought his kids with him. they are 8 yrs & 6 yrs old. We had a great time getting to know them. Us Schanzs' minus Kampman, Justin, his 2 kids, my sister Rebekah, & her friend TJ all went on a float trip in Pineville, MO. We had a great time even though the river was way low. Kenna, I , Justin and his 2 kids went to New York City together in July. We had a great time there too! Lots to see in New York and we really tried to see it all. My favorite part was the World Trade Center Museum. It was amazing to see all the people who came together to help out after 9-11-01 happened! Kenna says her favorite part was the Empire State Building.


In June we played lots of baseball and softball and Kammie played her first organized sport: Blastball. It was quite a bit of work getting everyone to practice and games on the same night but we got it done. Also for the first week of games, Jed was finishing real estate classes.


Jed finished real estate class in June and is now a realtor!!! He can sell you a house and help you buy a house now. But first he has to hang his license with a realtor. I don't know when he is doing that though.


Well I don't have much else to say. I'm sure I will think of lots once I log off though.......lol


Thanks for reading,

God Bless,
