Hey Everyone,
Well the craft fair is finally over! I'm still trying to catch up on sleep! It was alot of fun and my beanies almost sold out! YAY! Thanks to everyone for coming to see me and purchasing my hats! You're the best!

I thought I'd share this super cute picture of Asher in one of my ear flap beanies! What a doll! Anyway have a great weekend!

Trick or Treat

Halloween was a blast this year! We started getting ready as soon as we woke up! We went and visited "Nana and Papa" first! Shaydon wanted to get trick or treating so we didn't stay long so we went and had lunch at Wingers, mmmm yummy and then we went over to Joey's brothers house to get ready to go! Shady has been waiting for this day for along time! The kids had so much fun running from door to door! We had to keep reminding them to say "Trick or Treat" and "Thank You" Shaydon's cousins retired quickly but we made him keep going! He filled up his bag full and we'll just say we've all been enjoying his Candy! After that we went and saw Grandma Ball and enjoyed her delicious homeade donuts! Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!

Thank you!

The Mullet had to go!

So we had family pictures last saturday and I decided it was time to give Asher a haircut. I hate when they start getting that bald spot on the back of their head and right below it is this long awesome mullet! No boy of mine will have a mullet, it had to go! Asher wasn't to crazy about his haircut, he didn't cry but he just had this ticked off look on his face the whole time! I'd have to say his hair looks 100% better, what a cute little man!

Before.....

After......

Busy, Busy, Busy!

To all my friends and family who have been waiting patiently for an update of our family it's finally here! Here is what the Schultz family has been up to latly!






So yes, I have been super busy latly! Dance is in full swing and is going great! We are so lucky to have gotten so many students this year so we could finally have our own studio! I love all of our girls! It's a blast getting to know all of these talented cuties!

On top of that, I decided to start selling my beanies online, whoah .... yes you can call me crazy! Our dinner table is now my work table! Sorry family... what have I done - although the extra $$$ has been nice the stress and lack of sleep is not so nice! Hopefully I can figure out a good happy medium for family time, me time, beanie time, and dance time! lol

So with a 3 year old, a 4 month old, dance, beanies, and life of being a Mother and wife I am still alive and doing well! Busy as ever but enjoying the ride!

Here is an update of the kids!



Shaydon is my crazy 3 1/2 year old! Here's some funny things he's been saying and doing latly!

Joey and I have been calorie counting to lose wait latly so Shaydon over hears us talking about how many calories certain foods are. So he's constantly asking how many calories everything is. The other day I pulled up to Albertsons and Shaydon says "Hey Mom is this the Calorie store?" haha

One day Shaydon kept asking for "Shavers" all day, I couldn't figure out if he was talking about a certain toy or what the heck he was talking about! Finally, after all day of this shaver talk I figured out he was asking for me to do him a "favor" lol

One more funny thing, we were sitting there watching t.v. and a commercial with a toy came on and Shaydon says " Mom I wanna buy that toy, "PAUSES" then he says " yeah, for two dollars!"

Anyway he is such a funny guy and is constantly making me laugh, and also testing my patience! Silly Swim Shady - thats what he calls himself! lol



As for Asher, he is almost 4 months old now. He loves to yell and scream when he doesn't have his binky in, he also has a habit of making fart sounds and spits over and over again, its hilarious! He can roll over now and reaches out for things within his grasp! He loves his jumper! He's now on formula full time, I wish I could have nursed him a little longer but with my busy life also comes stress, and unfortunatly the twins dried up! LOL He doesn't seem to mind though, I can't wait until I can start giving him baby cereal! He's still not sleeping through the night! He loves to smile and giggle at anyone who will give him attention! He is such a sweet little guy! We love our little Asher bugs!

Summer Fun!

Over Labor Day weekend we decided to take a trip to Utah! We went to the Hogle Zoo, the Living Planet Aquarium, and to Boondocks! We also got to go to Chuck E Cheese and The Mayan! We had so much fun we didn't want to come home! Surprizingly, both kids were so good and easy the whole trip! Shaydon was ticked when he found out we had to come home! It was funny because for some reason he kept calling Utah, Tahoe. So he would keep asking us, "are we still in Tahoe." He also wanted the Hotel to be our new house! It was a perfect small vacation, much needed by all of us!

There are also some pics of us at Tauphus Park and The Blackfoot Fair!

First Two Months of Asher!

So Asher is already almost 2 months old! I'm so amazed at how the time flies! He started cooing and smiling at about 6 weeks and now if I tickle his collar bone he giggles! So adorable! We love this little guy so much! He is such a good natured little baby, last night he only woke up once, THANK YOU! And unfortunately he has already began teething! He has a toothe coming in on the bottom. I myself started teething at two month and Shaydon already had a full set of teethe by the time he was 5 months old. So I'm sure little Asher will be the same! So overall we are loving life with our family of four!

Asher's Blessing

Asher was Blessed on August 2nd, by my younger Brother Tyler. He gave such an amazing blessing, Thank you so much Tyler! All who stood in the circle were, Grandpa Everton and Uncle Darwin from Joey's side of the Family and Grandpa Ball, Uncle Jaren, Uncle Chad, and Uncle Neil from my side of the family. Thank you everyone for making Asher's Day so Special, we are so glad you all could come!

Asher's 1st Photoshoot

Here's a peak of Asher's photoshoot! They turned out so great, I can't wait to see the rest! He was kind of having a rough time and I think he hated being naked. He kept trying to crawl away and wouldn't hold still for us. The photographer was so amazing and so patient. Anyway, hope you enjoy these pictures of our new little man!

Asher Burton Schultz

Asher Burton Schultz has arrived! We had this sweet little boy on June 30th! He weighed 7lbs 12oz and was 20 1/2" long. He has been such an amazing baby! I was a little worried of how Shaydon would be with him but he has been the biggest helper and just wants to give him hugs and kisses every second. I forgot how sweet and precious it is to have a newborn again. I love my little family! I would just like to thank all of my Awesome nurses who helped us with delivery and recovery! One of the nurses even let Shaydon help give Asher his first bath. She was so patient and kind to let him help out. So again, THANK YOU!

Still No Baby!

Waiting, and wishing, and hoping, and praying! So yesterday I went to the Doctor and they tell me there are actually none of my Doctors in so do you care to see this other Doctor! Um, yeah what else am I gonna do. So she asks me if I would like to be induced and I said yes but she couldn't actually schedule it until I see one of my own Doctors. She said I was only at like 1/2 centimeters and that she would strip my membranes a little bit. Then I had to make a Doctors appointment for the next day to ask one of my doctors if I can be induced! Sheesh! I was a little cramped up all day yesterday and we went and saw Transformers 2 (Pretty Sweet I must say) but I was having pretty strong contractions during the whole movie and we had really annoying people all around us! Hate that when it happens! The kid sitting just to the right of me munched down two full Large buckets of popcorn! YUCK! Anyway so strong contractions but they went away by the time I got home and went to bed. Today at the Doctor we waited in the waiting room for about an hour. The Doctor checked me today and I am now at 2 centimeters. Not knowing the Doc yesterday had stripped my membranes he does it again - Men aren't as gentle - OUCH!!!!! So If nothing happens in the mean time I am scheduled to be induced on Tuesday, June 30th, at 7:30 a.m. Hopefully my next post will be about our new arrival! Wish me luck!

My Baby Boys!
