It was a long week. This guy up and went to Buffalo, New York. Can I just say I would like to individually hug all the single parents out there? That's a tough job you got, It's very exhausting being a lone parent. My hat goes off to you furreal.So this was the beautiful view where Scott was at.and this was my beautiful view.While I spent my days busy with these two ya-hoos.

Do you ever wonder what your child will be like when they grow up? Will the personality they have as a child be the same as when they are an adult? I know my husband was a really outgoing child who like to preform for a crowd and now as an adult, he is pretty shy and does not like to be in the spotlight at all. I am pretty sure my personality has not changed at all from when I was a kid. I think

First of all, thank you for all the feedback on the onesies. I am happy to report I did buy some and she hasn't pulled her button out all week. But I have another question. It is pertaining to poop, so if you get grossed out when mom's talk about their baby's poop, you have been warned. There is a reason why Davy is nakey in all these pictures and it's not to show off how cute and chubby she is.

As you know, Davy spent the first part of the month sick and in the hospital. Then she recovered only to get a nasty cold from me. We have kept her away from crowds pretty well but I can't keep her away from me when I get the sickies. major bummer.Then, to top things off this sassy child has been pulling out her mic-key button and then popping it!! We have gone through 3 in 2 weeks!! Do you know

Now that all of the hullabaloo of the holidays are over, I feel like I can finally blog about it. This year was an "On" year for my inlaws, so all of the cousins were here. It was so much fun to all be together. This was them waiting on the steps, very patiently to see what Santa brought.Davy was genuinely happy about her new bike. She kept giggling, it was very cute.She was not however giggling

How was your Christmas? This season was kind of a blur for me. The first two weeks Davy was sick and in the hospital, followed by a bazillion doctor appointments, then I got sick and spread it to the rest of the family(including Davy). So needless to say, I was not in the Christmas spirit......sorry folks that was the honest truth. I just felt tired and overwhelmed.I usually send out Christmas

Have you ever heard of diapers for your Dog?!! There are actually diapers for dogs. We are a dog owning/loving family. Charlie Sparkles Schultz is definitely part of the fam. But luckily we are not needing Snuggease cuz my dog is better trained then my children. like for real he is more obedient and never misses the toilet.

It's over. I am done. The dream of pig tails and cute clips have come to an end. You win again Davy girl. But I win too. One of my all time favorite haircuts for little girls is the bob. I think it instantly makes a girl adorable. Especially when chubby cheeks are involved. So the mullet is no longer.And her bangs no longer hang in her eyes like Chris Farley.Ever since the Hospital, Miss Davy is

SIX days, six loooong days we were in the hospital. Davy ended up having the flu as well as the UTI, so she was pretty sick. By day six, I asked for Davy to be released. She hadn't thrown up in a day and half and she didn't have a fever. It was getting to the point where Davy would freak out if anyone in scrubs would walk into the room. She was getting no sleep because of constantly getting

Tuesday, I was all prepared to tell you about how Scott was gonna be on NIGHT LINE! But then Davy girl decided to puke all over me. and you know what this means, GO TIME!! Scott broke out the rather large needle and plunged into our littlest of Little's thigh. We then packed her up whilst puking all over me. No time to stop and clean, just got to get her to the ER. It happened to be a busy night

I have always been proud of the fact that my boys have never cut their own hair. I kinda just thought that me being a hairstylist had something to do with it. Like from the get go they just knew that MOMMY cuts their hair, not them. A couple of Sundays ago, we were at a family dinner at my sister's house and Harper walked into the room and announced,"Mom, I didn't cut my hair." Hmmmm. I'm liking

This is a very special birthday blog dedicated to my new friend, Madeline. A couple weeks back I received the CUTEST email from Madeline's boyfriend, Grant. First off Grant, you had me at at your email's subject which was, " about your blog- I love it!" I guess I am sucker for flattery :) I was always under the impression that the only dudes that read my blog were my Dad and Jordan K. So I am

Today was one of those days. Davy seemed kinda sad during her first therapy (vital stem). Normally that either means a loooong day or a really short day cuz she won't do anything. Well I am happy to say that she pepped up for PT. She normally never lasts the whole session. But today she was a chatterbox and totally participating! She never came to me crying wanting a hug like she usually does. In

Why it just seems like yesterday you were climbing out of your crib and breaking out of the house.So we Partied yesterday, Schultz style. He got to jump through his door full of streamers(decorated by Ollie). For his special breakfast he chose doughnuts, isn't he so lucky.Then the one present he was

Two long years ago, we took the boys to New York for a Gabba filled week. It's sad that I never blogged about it, but I was going through what I now call my "dark times O' pregnancy". But even in my dark cloud we still had a blast. We did every tourist thing we could do with two hyper boys.We saw a show, OK not Broadway, a Yo Gabba show. We walked around Times square.We went ice skating at

As you can see I had big goals this year for Halloween. Ollie and Harper wanted to be Finn and Jake from Adventure time. Being that it is a newer show, I could not buy their costume. Luckily I only had to make Harper's cuz my very talented friend Abi made Ollie's, thanks lady! And then I had the silly idea of Black Swan for Davy. I have to admit it was partly because I already had a black

I was all prepared to blog bout Davy signing a new word. But then she did this.....Her First WORD!!! So does saying book first mean she is going to be genius, or at least maybe a librarian.Then again by the time Davy is an adult books will probably not exist. :(

OK, so you all know I have trouble sleeping. Well I usually just try and take melatonin and call it a night. But when I am really struggling I do take ambien. For someone with Chronic Insomnia it can be a life saver. I have learned something about taking sleeping pills though........one. take it early so you can fall asleep at reasonable hour(get your pills worth)two. Probably not a good idea to

That's right, you heard me, Davy is 18 months and two weeks to be exact. She has changed soo much over the past 6 months. First off, as you can tell from the pictures, Davy is a total chunk now. She has gained 7 pounds over the summer. SEVEN POUNDS!! She has far surpassed her weight goal set by her nutritionist. In June she was in the 10th percentile for her weight and now she is in the 75th!!

Luckily this week, when she tugged it out, I noticed it was getting yucky so I replaced it. Last year this time I didn't even no I could do that. I used to be so scared to put it back in, while this time I paused to take pictures and showed the boys

It was over 6 months ago that we had a barium swallow study that showed Davy was aspirating. We started off with doing vital stim therapy twice a week. Then 8 weeks ago we switched to 3 times a week. Being that she "silently" aspirates, it's kinda hard to see the progress she is truly making. This last Friday we had another swallow study. I was definitely more anxious this time around. I knew

Sir Scott is 40. Scott's schedule has been really busy. So busy I hardly get to talk to him. That makes it kind of hard to plan something for his Birthday. I have been joking how I was throwing him a surprise party. He told me, If you hate me, throw me a surprise party. Wow thems fighting words. You know it made me want to throw a

My husband has a pretty cool job. There have been moments in his Gabba journey that have been so crazy and exciting. Most of the time I am not there for these crazy exciting moments. It's normally Scott telling me how crazy it was meeting the President was or how cool and the Flaming lips are. And me bitterly thinking, Yes, I bet they were pretty cool. But I actually got to be there for what

We survived the first week of filming Yo Gabba! Filming schedules can be pretty crazy. Gabba is the type of job that can be really hard and yet really fun. You work long hours but with highly creative, fun people. It's been pretty much the same people all 4 seasons. They have become a second family. Did you know that they have dress up days on set? Every day there is a different theme(today 's

Just been crazy sick. I have heard the very sad news of baby Ruby Jane. Jenna thank you for sharing her story with me. You can read her story here, http://aniandmatttaylor.blogspot.com/. It sure puts things in perspective real fast.

Before you get all excited, this is not for everyone. I have been cleaning out some things and I came across Davy's cute hospital gowns my friend, Kelsey, made her.I remember how excited I was to put my little Davy girl in something other then a blue and pink striped beanie. I would love to pass these on to a fellow NICU mom. It was the little things like this that would give me something to

In fact I have a whole other blog dedicated to just that. I will say I do not up date it often, I mean really who has the time. I can barely keep this one up.These pictures are of my niece, Heather and my great nephew(I know I am old), Harvey or Chubba as we lovingly call him. I have always been jealous of chubby babies and this little guy is the cutest/chubbiest baby ever. I have laid claims on

I love summer. I am the girl that is always cold, so I love it when it's nice and hot. Sorry winter your just not my thing. I just love being outside, especially when water is involved. This is Davy's first time to the pool. As of 2 weeks ago the girl hated baths, she would just scream the whole time. Then all of a sudden she figured out how to splash the water and she fell in love. So her first

This is the saddest news indeed. Davy got orthopedic inserts for her little footsies to help support her weakling ankles. Apparently she needs a lot more support and we had had to upgrade to ankle braces. Now that is not the news that saddens me. In fact I am very happy about her ankles not folding in half when she tries to stand. I'm sad cuz none of her shoes fit her anymore!! All the size 4

So I guess I forgot to tell you that this lil gal has been sitting up all on her own!! No more kick stands, no more slumping over. She is getting so much stronger, it's been crazy to see her progression. Since her core muscles have been getting stronger it has made it so she is not throwing up a gallon. So instead of changing her clothes 3 times a day we do it like once. This also means we are no

My garden grows in a raised box. I love our box garden. It really is the best way to garden. And if you ever make one, I highly recommend to raise it. No hurt back, no kids/rodents/dogs messing with your garden. On earth day we replanted our Garden of Eden. It is always so much fun for the family to pick what they want to plant in their plot O' land. This year we have tomatoes, snap peas, corn,

Ollie recently told me it was his life long dream to sleep in a box. Who am I to deny him the Hobo life he so desires?Every month when we get Davy's medical supplies shipped to us, Ollie asks if he can have the boxes. I mean we practically live in a box ourselves, so adding more is very suffocating. So I usually say, play with them outside.This week when we bought Davy her new big girl car seat,

They have won best preschool show straight since 1998. So if we were going to lose, at least it was to them, right? I sent out a text and this picture to our family saying, can you guess who won?

At least that's what it's called at Choc. When we check in, I say it's for rehab, and then I giggle, cuz Baby rehab sounds funny. Then we travel down to the hospital basement with all of the other baby junkies. This has been our first full week of hardcore therapy. I'm talking 7X's a week therapy. I have to say, I'm pretty beat, so I can only imagine how Davy feels. I hope this becomes a "normal"

I found this beautiful picture on Ollie's DSi. He pretty much has taken a picture of everyone he knows and puts a moustache, demon eyes and a waterfall of boogers on them. He does throw in the occasional Afro to mix things up.He even has titles for them. This one was "MR. Snotsy". He explained that the moustache has made Davy a gentleman. Get it?

Where to begin, where to begin. First and for most...Thank you. Thank you, to all of our family and friends for all the work and love that went in to this fun night. Because it was so much fun! I kinda thought I was going to be a stress case, but my family(and a Xanax) made it so all I had to do was show up and enjoy. Really, I had so much fun. My only regret was that I didn't get to talk to

It's been a BUSY past couple o' days. I thought I would be posting about how AWESOME the Team Davy benefit was, but you'll have to wait on that one. I need some time to put that into words. Also, we have a plague in our house and by plague I mean Pneumonia. Yes you read right, Harper has Pneumonia!!This how it went down.....

Seventeen years!!! I have officially known Scott for half of my life. And lets face it, my first 7 years I can't even remember, so they shouldn't even count. We spent the whole day together. It was SO much fun. It was the best gift we could give, the gift of time.We went to LA , it's been a long time since I have hung out there. We started off eating at a really good restaurant called, BLD. I

A couple of months ago I got a call from my Father in law, it went something like this.....FIL- I am not asking you, I'm TELLING you that we are putting on a benefit dinner for Davy. You can come or not come, but we are still doing it.Me- (how do you answer that question) I will be in attendance, I promise.And that was that. I told you that my in laws can throw a party like no one's business.

A year ago today, we left these doors for good. The NICU is rough folks. Especially when your baby is on an extended stay. We had some dark times there. But being on the outside now, I've become so thankful for our time in there. It seemed like every day we learned something new. Sometimes it was bad and sometimes it was the best news ever. But all of it was necessary. We needed the 67 days to

On may 7Th, I spoke at a benefit for CHOC hospital. There are these amazing women in Orange County, who help raise money for CHOC. They're called the Glass slipper Guild.

Can you believe this!!!!! Davy is crawling!!! She is loving her new found freedom. I am still in total shock. We(Scott, me and her therapists) are so proud. Every mile stone with her has been a major celebration. Scott and I get choked up over every little thing she does.But c'mon this one is a doozey. I feel like I should throw her a party or something.

We just had Davy's cardio appointment. We have been going every couple of months for an EKG and echo cardiogram. This appointment we were going to be scheduling her surgery to repair her ticker. Everything looks pretty much the same. Nothing is getting bigger and nothing is getting smaller. But we have decided Davy will not be having a heart surgery this year!!

So how you Easter? Is all the candy gone from your house yet? Ours is long gone. I am all about letting them pounding it ASAP and then I toss the remnants. This was a different Easter for us, there were no cousins visiting. So it was just the three boys for the egg hunt. They were a little sad at first but then they realized it upped their chances of finding the money egg.Please note the above

We take our egg dyeing seriously at the Schultz house. We break out our crafting (snowman)table cloth, sharpies, stickers, rubber bands and mini paint rollers. We are not so much Martha Stewart as we are her younger, awkward step sister. I always wish that I had boiled more eggs when we are done. We have that much fun. WOW, I look pretty frazzled in this picture. I am pretty sure I look like this

A couple of weeks ago Scott took the boys to the snow. They LOVED it. But ever since then Harper has been obsessed with his snow boots. Even if it's 80 degrees he still rocks the boots. This would not be that weird if we lived in a place that actually snowed, shoot even rained. But So-cal is the land of one season and snow boots are not required. Walking in snow boots is really not that easy,

For a baby that never leaves the house, Davy is pretty popular. The morning of her birthday we woke up and found this.  So cute, huh? A little birdie told me it was the youth at my church. Then the next day the party kept a going, cuz we got another heart attack. Davy is so loved. It was a million paper hearts all over our house and car, with sweet messages all from the young adults at my church.

The good news is Davy's G.I Doc and I have decided that we will still give Davy some Purees by mouth and all liquids by tubie. When it comes down to it, Davy has a better chance of aspirating on her throw up or saliva. But fear not, we are being

Here are some things you should know about Davy........ 1. she is very inconsistent, 2. expect the unexpected and 3. that we are always doing two steps forward and then two steps back. So when these thing DO happen, I really should not get upset because it's really her M.O.I also notice(and tell me if this happens to you) that as soon as I really start to brag about a child's accomplishments,

We threw a rager for Davy's first birthday. We all know how she loves to party. So we went all out........milk kegs, Cheetos, snack packs and lollipops. All of Davy's favorite things. The weekend of Davy's birthday was extremely busy for me. For some reason I thought it was a good idea to get all of the birthday parties over in one weekend(Max and Ollie's was the day before).

Here it is, month 12. Can you believe it? I normally end the month pictures at 12, so I'm a little sad that this was my last little photo shoot.Davy has had a really good month. You ready to hear about it?Davy weighs in at 18 and half pounds and is 30 inches long. That is 10% in weight and 70% in height.So looks it looks like solids are paying off. We are cautiously moving forward and making

This picture was taken moments right before Davy was born. We were told a lot of maybes and what ifs. We were both incredibly scared. I've been thinking A LOT about the past year. I thought how I wish I could have shown myself what was in store. But I don't think that I would have believed me. I really wouldn't have thought me capable. But when your child's life is at stake, you become capable.

This time I did not giggle. In fact a completely primal scream came out of me.Tomorrow I am having a birthday party for Max and Ollie, so today I spent all day baking. I made chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, frosted to perfection. I put them in my cupcake stacker all ready to go.Then  I went outside to go throw away the trash(why?!!) and came in to find Harper..........Harper opening up my stacker

Seriously, no wonder she likes O.T ! She went from pudding to Cheetos. These are actually cheese puffs. They are easier to grip then the Gerber baby puffs and they dissolve faster. We started off with a little tap on the tongue, then we mashed it up and gave her some and then this......... Oh why can't Cheese puffs be healthy!!! I am so proud of her though. She hasn't grasped onto the whole

You all know I am a lover of baths. And even though my tub is the size of a large sink, I can still manage to squeeze my 5 foot 10 inch body in it. It's really the highlight of my day, my refuge, my daily meditation and I even manage to get some reading in.Last week as I was soaking, I looked up at my ceiling and saw this...........SPITBALLS!!! They were huge! I am pretty sure they were

Do your kids just help themselves to the fridge? Harper has been driving me NUTSO with this. He is like Houdini. I turn my back and there will be 3 empty yogurts in his room. Or I will be finishing up Davy's feed and find this in my kitchen.Isn't it beautiful? So artistic, I couldn't even get mad. He had took a bite of every.single.strawberry.He also had another pack in the fridge waiting for me

When did this little boy grow up to be this kid? Max is officially in double didge and it's freaking me out!!! Max is truly an amazing son, he always has been. He's very funny. He has a different way of looking at the world and I LOVE when he'll tell me his thoughts. He is a lover of hip hop and indie music. He loves making mixes. When he was little he used to write songs

I can think of a million reasons why I love having a little girl. Reason number 5 would be..... Sailor dresses. I have long been envious at church when my friends daughters would show up in a little nautical number. If I could squeeze into this dress, I would. Actually the thought of that just made me giggle. I don't know if this would be as cute on a 35 year old.What are some of your reasons?

That Scott, he is always full of surprises. I thought we weren't going to be doing anything for Lovers day, but after the kids were in bed, Scotty had me go into our garage, where this was waiting for me. A cupcake feast! You see the way to my heart is with baked goods and my man knows it. It was amazing how much fun hanging out(by candlelight) in our garage was. All we needed was some Thompson

Whilst blog hopping one night, I stumbled onto this! Isn't it so cute. If you are a Gabba fan, then you know that this lovely quote is from the song the Roots performed(and Mossi wrote) on the family episode. I immediately contacted the artist, the talented Merrilee, asking if she would be willing to sale one to me. Scott and I LOVE finding homemade Gabba things. This was one of the cutest

This year for Valentines Day we went the Non candy route. I know, SO not me. But my boys are the kind of kids that would pick out the random trinkets from the pinata over the candy(weirdos.) So we came up with these. My goal was not so much to make them Martha Stewart amazing as it was to make them cheap. I used snack sized Ziploc bags, and plain old computer paper. I spent a total of $8....not

Did anyone notice that a certain 6 year old changed my profile? I guess I no longer contribute to this blog. Evil genius. If you have gotten any weird comments from an Oliver, it could have been me. Or who knows, maybe it was him. If I wasn't so lazy/sick, Id' change it back. I have that stupid cold that's going around. It's not the kind that has you down and out, just not feeling up to par.

Did you know that this week is feeding tube awareness week? Well it is.There is a whole web site dedicated to tubies. I have seen plenty of tubies at the Choc clinics, but have yet to see a tubie in the wild. I would love to spot one. I have to admit, I have gotten some stares while feeding Davy in public places. I am in no way offended by it. I get it...it's different. I am sure people are

Last Fall, Oliver came back from Grandmas with a goldfish. He named him, Finny Speedy Schultz. My first thought was, this will not end well. I give Finny one week tops. I even tried to prepare Ollie for the inevitable, by saying how sensitive goldfish are and they don't live long. But he was not hearing it, for he was a fish whisperer. He always remembered to feed him, but never too much, He

Please note that it's mid January and this outfit was completely appropriate for the weather we've been having. Welcome to Southern California! Word up, Davy is Ten months ! This photo shoot was a complete disaster. I started clicking away and then realized I didn't even check my camera settings, so the first half of my pics were blown out. Ahhh nuts! Then Harper kept getting all up in my

So I think I will count this as Davy's first time eating. I wanted to counteract the snack packs and dum dums with organic bananas, pureed fresh. Davy has been doing better then expected with her food. It's all about quality and not quantity with her. The one bummer about solids is when she throws it up. Goo, I am predicting a lot of stained clothes in our future.As you can see Davy happily

We have started solids! You will never guess what we fed Davy first. Rice cereal......nope. Bananas......nuh-uh. Pudding and lollipops? Ding ding ding, you guessed it. Now before you call child's services on me or think I am completely koo koo, It 's all a part of Brittany's(Davy's OT) master plan to get this girl eating. It was our third session when Brit pulled out the dumdums and snack packs

When a emergency strikes I often wonder, "how would I react?" Remember My post on us taking Davy to the ER. Remember how I said it was"GO" time. Haha, it was so much more chaotic then us just "go"ing. My niece, Heather happened to pull up as we were trying to leave. So I asked her about what our emergency looked like from an outside point of view. So Here's Heather!I am going to interject here

Did you know that I was a Hairstylist? I worked in a couple of Salons for like 12 years then quit and did hair on Gabba. Then after I gave birth to my third, I called it quits completely. Well, almost completely. I made a salon in my garage to cut my friends and family's hair. I have to say, I really prided myself in the fact that my boys never tried to cut their own hair...ever.

So did I totally jinx myself with my New Years resolution or what? What was supposed to be 48 hours turned into a 6 day stay at CHOC. It was kinda scary, because we didn't know she had an infection, we didn't know to up her adrenal meds, which caused her body to shut down. She was so grey and lethargic, she didn't even want to be held. She was a sad sight indeed. Then, Monday morning Davy woke

It has happened. The dreaded flu got a hold of lil Davy(or so i thought.) 2am Friday morning Davy started to throw up....like cuh- razy throw up. Like body convulsing every 30 minutes kind of throw up. She had her last adrenal medication at 12am, so her endocrine Doc had us wait it out til her next dosage which is at 8am. Which she quickly threw up, so it was go time. We drove down to Choc ER.

This is what it would have looked like if we got all dressed up to celebrate the new year a comin. I think we were actually wearing PJ's. I am pretty sure Scott went to bed at like 10 and I was watching a really cheesy karate(kung pow) movie with my Nephews.

I had thoughts of fun activities with my men but we had 2 Doc appointments for Davy. So nope nothing Nada.

Do you watch Modern family? I love it. I just watched the last episode and Phil, the funny dad of 3, was talking about the circle of life and how your parents faked their way through parenthood and then how you fake your way through it and that hopefully you don't raise a serial killer. This had me laughing, cuz I AM faking it. Especially tonight. I have one child who complains about e v e r y t

I have been asked if Davy is a an easy baby(despite health issues.) I would love to answer yes, but I have come to the conclusion that she is not. She wants to be held and also wants you to entertain. So I am holding, talking singing, tap dancing just to keep this girl happy. Sometimes it's a joy, cuz you get a big return, one dimpled Davy grin. But if I want to get anything done like, clean,

I would call Davy's 8th month the recovery month. She went from surgery to ear infections to teething to colds to more ear infections. This month has been brutal, so I can't blame the girl for not learning any new tricks. It seems like Davy has a pattern for doing a lot one month and then chillin the next. * She did however get 2 new teeth with a possible third coming. She has one on top and one

We knew sooner or later we'd have an ER visit with Davy, and in true Davy fashion, she made it extra exciting for us. Scott, Ollie, Davy and I were in on an airplane on our way to Seattle to see friends and go to a Yo Gabba live show. About 30 minutes before we land I hear Scott whisper-scream, RUUUUTH!

Let me give you a tip, throwing a double birthday party with a close friend(Sarah) is the only way to throw a party. It makes planning way more fun, it's way less work and money. Every time Harper plays at Franco's house their favorite thing to do is dress up like super heroes and march around the living room to super hero theme songs. SO it was pretty obvious what the birthday party theme was

Don't I look lovely. I am so, so sick, Davy is so sick, Scott was sick and Harper had some crazy infectious rash. So life has been A W E S O M E! I still have to play blog catch up, but on another day. In the meantime I'm gonna kick it on the couch with my lil' bird and watch adventure time. Oh, and I greatly appreciated my Diet Coke Heather. You really

I have so much to catch you up on! I know you are all wondering about Miss Davy, so I will start with her. Three weeks after surgery and Davy was still crying ALL the time.

First things first, How cute is this little bee?!! My mom crocheted this puppy in about an hour! I was just sad I couldn't take her to the Halloween party to show her off.

The boys went easy on me this year as far as costumes go. Max wanted to be an Army man in hopes I would buy him a gun(not happening dude).
