The Schultz's

My first post! Well....my sister in law Annie recently created a blog, and just like her I get caught up hours on end reading other blogs and thought I would start one myself. I have a husband, a son, a career, a house, a dog, a funny side, a serious side, a sassy side, a crafty side and an emotional side- so needless to say I will definitely have lots to talk about! I am a wife to Kyle, a dedicated and devoted husband, father, teacher and football and baseball coach. I met him when I was 19 and we have been inseperable since. I am the mommy to Henry, a sweet and sensitive little boy with the attitude and personality of a firecracker! He was born on 11-30-11. Between the two of these boys...the washer is always full, dishwasher is always running and my heart is nonstop exploding with love and laughter.

I will make my first post on an update on HENRY! (my 13.5 month old son) I blogged his entire first year of life, and haven't since he turned one. Henry is in 18-24 month clothes, size 6-7 shoes. We still cannot tell what color his eyes are going to be....somedays they are green as can be, and others a light brown with gold streaks. His hair is frickin G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. I am pretty sure women pay top end $$ for the hair color he has. It is blonde with blonde highlights, thick and full and straight and just beautiful. He is talking more and more and Kyle and I are constantly amazed day to day how he does something new. Just a few days ago he started saying "ni-night" and start crawling up the stairs if he wants to take a nap or go to sleep. How CUTE is that? Just tonight he slammed the door in Kyle's face when I was in the bathroom with him and yelled "BUH-BYE!" and of course he started cracking up after and did it about 50 more times because we laughed.:). He can point out several animals now, and can imitate what a lion and dinosaur say "rooooar" and a cow says "mmmoo." He gives the best hugs and puts his forehead to your lips to give a kiss. *heartmelting just thinking about it* He knows what "put your arms up means" when we put him in his highchair and throws his arms up when we say touchdown (he has been doing that for a few months now...but I still love it). He LOVES to be silly and make people laugh. When we say "lets go outside" he walks straight to the front door and starts pounding on it. He really loves playing outside and going for walks (aka us chasing him down the sidewalk) and we can't wait for summer. Kyle talks all the time about how he can't wait for his time off with him this summer and that he plans to get a summer zoo pass (awww) and their adventures they will go on. I am so thankful for Kyle's time off in the summer to enjoy with Henry since he is a devoted coach during the school year. I really cherish the winter months too since it is between football and baseball season. HOWEVER- we LOVE football and baseball season and can't wait for them to start back up! Henry went to almost all of Kyle's games last year, and didn't go to the end of the seasons only because of the cold weather.

Here is part of an email I got from his teacher at school that I received today: "He gets so excited when we sing our morning song, and today he clapped his hands the whole time we sang! He has started to go to the gate when he is hungry but knows he has to wash his hands first. As soon as I say, "Let's wash your hands" he knows right where to go!"

How stinkin cute?!? After Kyle and I read it we both said "ahh we need to start making him wash his hands!" LOL. Everyday I pick him up they are doing such fun things....dying snow with different colors, playing with bubbles machines, etc. He just started this new school this past week and adjusted like a pro! Didn't even phase him and I think all the new toys, activities and friends excite him. Maybe that's why he adjusted so well...after being home with us for Christmas break, he was missing his friends and school activities!

Well- both the boys are already in bed and I am about to whip up a little night time snack and put in a chick flick. Man....I have been just dying to just pig out and watch a chick flick lately. I will post about new updates, outings, crafts, recipes, thoughts throughout the week and here on out. Have a great week!
