Bennett lost his 1st tooth!

Bennett lost his first tooth Thursday night and could not have been more excited! He couldn't wait to go to school on Friday to share the news! "Mom, don't tell anyone I want to do it."

Spring Break Fun

The kids had a wonderful Spring Break! Here are a few pictures from their week.
Fun at the Kansas City Zoo.



Enjoying the view.


The kids always enjoy Wonderscopes.


The water area was definately Skylar's favorite spot while we were there.
She had the wet clothes to show it.



Taking time out for a snack.

St. Patty's Day Run


We did it! Another 10K under our belts. It was a great day for a run. The weather was beautiful! We are planning to run the Oklahoma City Memorial 1/2 marathon in April. I do know after todays race I have a way to go. I would not have wanted to run 6 more today. I hope I will be ready by then.

Skylar is finally on the mend. (we think)


After 4 oral antibiotics and 2 antibiotic shots we think we are finally getting our Skylar back. She has had an ear infection for a month. I took her in this morning for a recheck. He said they were looking good. I was so excited!! I know if she would have had to have a 3rd it would not have been an easy shot for the nurse to give. After the show she put on for the second one I was not happy about the thought of the 3rd.

Little Dribblers

I am really behind on my posting. Emma had a great season of Little Dribblers. She definitely improved over last year and had a great time. Thanks coaches you did a great job!

A look at the Schoenbeck's February

We have had one heck of a month this far. I can only imagine what our doctor bills will amount to this month. Here is how our family has spent the last couple weeks.

February 7- Bennett wrecks his bike and has stitches in the ER.
February 8- Return to the Dr.'s office Bennett's stitches are puckered and we learn they did not put enough in. (His scar will be beautiful)
February 11- Skylar is running a fever and all around miserable. Trip to the Dr.'s office and we learn she has a double ear infection.
Also on the 11th Bennett and Emma are playing and Bennett's chin gets bumped and the area with no stitches breaks open. Bleeding all over once again.
February 12- Return to the Dr. to get Bennett's stitches out.
February 15- Emma gets pink eye
February 16- Erika gets the flu
February 17- Erika gets pink eye
February 19 - Erika goes to the Dr. to get eye drops and an antibiotic.
Matt also begins battling a cough and congestion.
February 20- Emma's pink eye returns. We tried to save a Dr. visit and used left over eye drops from our last pink eye episode. However, two days treatment obviously wasn't enough. I won't do that again!
Also on the 20th at bedtime Bennett shows up with pink eye.
February 21- Skylar wakes up with pink eye. We will be heading to the Dr. again in a few minutes for another prescription.
I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds! Now that I am finally feeling better I can kind of laugh about it. I am really looking forward to March. Surely it will be better. Right?

Crash!!!!!!!!!!

Bennett had quite a crash this weekend on his bike. Matt and I were jogging pushing Skylar while Emma and Bennett were on their bikes. Bennett got to going too fast down a hill and lost control. We knew the minute we saw his chin he needed stitches. It wouldn't have been so bad but we were 1 1/2 miles from home. We borrowed a car from a friend that lived close by and were off to the ER.
I think this is the closest we got to a smile all day. He has quite the raspberry on his chin. We could not have felt better about the way he handled getting the stitches. He was soo brave!
