The Schmitz Family

Wanted to post our Christmas card.  Happy Holiday’s to everyone.

Wow an update once a year, I bet people don’t even stop by to see if I have updated anything.  I told my self I would update it more often last year and I actually updated it less.  So maybe I should say I won’t update it at all in 2012 and see if I can start doing it once a month.  I was going through my camera yesterday and found pictures still on there so that explains why I haven’t updated anything.  I’ll upload some pictures from 2011 below.  Yesterday Summer and I went on a field trip with Tyler to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and were able to see the dolphin’s, whale, sharks, sea lion and the walruses.

Christmas 2010

Boarding in Tahoe

Some Riding Pictures

Tyler’s Six Flags Field Trip

I went down to Hollister yesterday for the first time. Dustin, Tammy and I took Tyler down there and we had a great time. Tyler is enjoying the quad and is getting the hang of it. Here are some pictures below and a couple from Carnegie the weekend before.

It’s been a few months since I updated the website so I thought I would write a couple posts.  Tyler and I have been enjoying the new dirt bike and quad.  We went and watched the hill climbs at Carnegie a place we ride at a couple times this year.  Here are a couple pictures from that and a video.

We have decided to take up a new sport. I thought it would be great to get back out there and ride a little and see if Tyler wanted to as well. So far so good, we have been out a few times now and only one issue No broken bones so that is good. Tyler really didn’t want to get a motorcycle so we went with a used Quad for him. I picked up a 2004 Honda CRF230f that is in great condition. Here are a few pictures from our first time out. Should be more to follow.

We recently went to Tahoe with Summer’s family and I hate to say it, but I didn’t get to take any pictures.  I left my smaller camera at home and my Nikon was just too much to take especially on the slopes.

Tyler and Sierra went snow boarding for the first time this year.  I put them in lessons and they both enjoyed it and are looking forward to going more often.  Summer’s Dad put together a video of some stuff so I thought I would put it up.  I hope you enjoy it.

Summer and I recently went to the Raider game with her parents for Summer’s Dad’s Birthday. Here are a few pictures from the tailgate party and the game.

We just returned from a family trip to Disneyland.  We took the kids down there during their October break with my Mom & Jim, J.R. & Candace, Emerald, Jasmine & Madison.  Here are some of the pictures from the trip. The first is a video of Sierra after Jedi training fighting Darth Vader.

I thought I would post some newer pictures of Gunner so you can see how big he is getting.  Barney Summer’s parents dog is the Chocolate Lab.

Well the yearly deer hunting trip I do with Summer’s Dad has come and gone. Another year of hunting in California and no deer. We know the hunting isn’t the best in California, actually no where close to the best.  We had a good time and the weather was great, almost a little to warm maybe.  Here are a few pictures from the trip.
