My 1st project

In celebration of my Baby Sister being in town...she is the inspiration for my very first cricut expression project.

SISTER BAGS!!

I watched the tutorial DVD the cricut came with and she made it look so easy!! I just had to give it a go. I think {for my very first try} they are adorable!!

I made one for each of my sisters, my wonderful sister-in-law, and my mom.

There is sooooo much that this wonderful machine can do, I am a little overwhelmed, but a little more practice, and I will be making TONS of adorable things!!

LOOK OUT WORLD, KIM'S GOT A CRICUT!!

Isn't it BEAUTIFUL????

and it's PINK!!
this is my other new favorite toy...the GYPSY!!
If you scrapbook, you should know what it is, and how LUCKY I am!!

and this is just a really cute picture I took of Zack and his "cousin-dog" Daisy.

SO CUTE!!

Here Comes the Bride...

Her wedding cake. Colors were blue and wine, with gold and silver accents.

Go Broncos!
The Wedding party. (Some of them) they each had 7 attendants: 2 Best men and Maid of Honors. The night before, one of Ryan's best men got really sick and couldn't be there. Todd got to walk both women down the isle.
He didn't complain.

A nervous groom.

A very handsome Ring Man, Kauner.

Crazy kids. Zack made sure everyone knew that HE was NOT the one getting married.

My Best Man and Flower Girl.

What a fluffy dres you have, flower girl. You are beautiful!

Best man, Todd; Father of the Groom, Gary; and Groom, Ryan.

It was a beautiful wedding.

Mother of the Groom, Linda.

isn't she beautiful?

The newest Schultz, Ema.

Congratulations to both of you. We love you!

More Christmas Fun...2009

WOW...Santa didn't pass up our house. Kids must have been pretty good this year.
Good Morning Sleepy-heads!! We made them stay in bed until 6:00am. They were up around 5:00am. They all had their Christmas Eve jammies on...Arn't they cute? Jo and Ty just got p.j. bottoms this year. So comfy!

Everyone got what they asked for.

Nintendo DSi's for the big boys,

Makeup and dolls for Emily. This doll looks JUST like her!!

Brown eyes, freckles and light brown/blond hair. It is amazing! Her BFF for sure!!

She named her Isabella.

And Zack got his Motorcycle.

I think it was a little more than what he was looking for, however he also got tools, so he was out in the garage "fixing" it before he would ride it.

It took him a while, but he finally got on {with Jordan} and rode down the street.

It was a good Christmas.

Thanks Santa!

Christmas Fun...2009

Making sugar cookies for Santa. Thanks Betty Crocker for putting the cookie mix in a bag. All I had to add was an egg and butter. No time for fancy cut-outs...just dropped spoonfulls onto cookie sheet and baked. I did however make home-made butter cream frosting. Mmmmmmm...so yummy! I told the kids not to be stingy with the frosting.
So Zack added BOTH colors to his cookie.

AND sugar sprinkles.

And MORE sugar sprinkles!

We all agree'd that he could eat his cookie. NO ONE else wanted it.

He has a bit of a sugar high now.

Feliz Navidad

we couldn't stop laughing either.

Merry Christmas er...Feliz Navidad!

Wild Lights

It's the SCHULTZ FAMILY TRADITION

Every year since Jordan was 1, we have visited the Denver Zoo Lights.

It just keeps getting better and better.

I just don't have a good enough camera to capture just how beautiful the lights are.

This is the Gorilla we get our picture by EVERY year.

This is the first year we have EVER gone without a wagon. Zack did great. They all did.

OOPS...Jordan blinked

Do-over...

MUCH better.

Emily can't take a picture without tilting her head.
Silly girl.

The kids always get to see Santa, too.
Jordan and Tyler didn't talk to him this year, I just made them take a picture.
Emily asked for Make-up, and dress up stuff...oh my.

Zack asked for a motorcycle.

just another Schultz Family Tradition!!

Merry Christmas

Zack's Christmas Program

Santa was there...Zack has him FOOLED!
I guess he was pretty good this year. He had his moments when I wanted to KILL him. But for the most part, he was pretty good.

He was a singing elf in Mr. David's 4 year old class. They sang Felis Navidad(sp) and, Santa Claus is coming to Town. They all were so cute.

Mr. David and Ms. Samantha are really good teachers for Zack. They are patient with him, and help him to make friends and good choices.

Isn't he handsome? I actually bought him nice clothes for his program. He still had his mohawk, but we trimmed it up to look good.
He did very well.

Jump Bunch...FOOTBALL!!

Zack was sooooo excited today when his Jump Bunch teacher brought in FOOTBALLS!!

He showed her how he "Hold's the Laces" to throw it.

He couldn't wait to get home to tell daddy about his Football Jump Bunch day.

Here is a video clip:

Holy Cow!!

I finally got normal pictures of my kids!!

They look AMAZING!

I only had to beg a little to get decent smiles, then snap the picture really fast before they melted into cheezy grins.

I am so proud.

(well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad)
