2008 comes to a close!

Another year has gone by and the Schultz Family realizes how blessed we are! We have our faith, our health, our love, our family and friends, and one important angel watching over us (we miss you Dad-Tata Tony)!

Thank you Lord for all of our blessings and for giving us your never ending and ever present love!

Look who has an Elmo reading chair! Thank you Nana Ophie!



Are you kidding? This is for me?!


Are you sure it's for me?


Yep, this goes home with me!


Mommy loves this present!


My sweet and sassy, Allie girl!


I just love my Aunt Shelley!



What a beautiful family!


Me and my Aunt Nunie!


Christmas morning beauties!


Eeck! Are you sure these will fit?!


Hey, this is the good part!


Rough and tough rider! Thanks Nana Fucy for this tons of fun riding machine!




Now that Kyle considers himself a big boy, he doesn't want to sit in his booster seat with the tray. Instead he will only eat in the booster right up against the table. Whatever, as long as he eats. This is Kyle hanging out with a full belly!

The Spirit of Giving

Tis the season to give... Kyle's mommy donated her hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. This is similar to Locks of Love except that Pantene requires 8 inches of hair and the other is 10 inches. Clint was willing to compromise and go with the 8 inches. Good thing because I would have been bald if I went the 10 inches route! I hope you enjoyed your Christmas cards! I did since it is the last view of my long hair. My hair is now above my shoulders. Yikes! I was in shock at first, but then I had to feel better knowing that I helped someone who needs it more than I do. God has blessed me with hair and I'd like to think that someone who needs it will consider my donation a blessing. I'd like to encourage others to do so as well! It's a good feeling to help someone! Needless to say, I don't have any pictures of me with my short hair. If and when I do, I'll post them!

Such a Big Boy!

I'm a big kid now!

Not only is he a reader, but he also likes to sit in the big chairs to do his reading.


Hey you... come read with me!


This is serious business!


Hey, are you going to stare at me or come and read this for me?


Kyle's new thing... he says "cheese" when you take his picture. (By the way, this is when Mommy decided that it's about time to get a haircut!)

Mommy's Boys!

Here are Mommy's handsome boys! Her pride and joy! God has truly blessed her!

Christmas Time is Here!

The Christmas tree is up at the Schultzs! That already means a few broken bulbs and a few time-outs!

See my tree?!


Why can't I touch it?!

Thanks and Give Me Some Food!

Kyle's plate was full this year! He actually got to partake in the eating instead of watching us eat from his bouncer!

Yummy yummy to my tummy!


Look at that big boy eating with a spoon!

Fun in the Sun!

Our son LOVES to be outside! He finds all sorts of trouble to get into. He throws a fit when it's time to come in!

Mommy's cutie pie!


On guard!


Don't you dare try and take this away from me!

My Doggy's Nutrition is my Top Priority!

Kyle decided that he should help Marty eat his food. He was cracking up the whole time! This lasted for about 5 minutes. God blessed us with such a patient dog!

Reading with my Nana Fucy!

Yes, I am one happy Mommy! My son has finally developed a love for books! His attention span is getting a little longer so that he can enjoy most of the story. He'll let you know when he's ready to turn the page.

I'm a serious reader now!

The Winning Halloween Costume

Isn't Kyle the cutest octopus you have ever seen? He even had a little swagger of a walk so that the tentacles swayed a bit. He definitely knew that he was the center of attention! He did a good job of holding his Elmo bucket due to the fact that it held all the goods that he didn't want taken away! (A special thank you to Val Nikolaus for the "super cute" costumes!)

He wasn't to sure about it at first!


Ready for action! He started off really brave!


Before the door opens...


When the door opens...


And he's off!! Too scared of who would open the door! Stranger Danger! He even left Elmo behind! No worries though, he was comforted by his lollipops!
