Picture Time!

I hope you don't mind, but this is a random blog. I am just gonna post some pictures and tell you a little Bio on them. Nothing witty or clever here.
                      I got to hang with my nephew Porter. We had a blast running through sprinklers
                                                        and eating GIANT marshmallows.
            This was Taken On my newest nephews Blessing day. This is Spencer Shayde Pethel. 
             It's hard to get your hands on this guy cuz his big sisters won't put him down.
              Max went to Skateboard camp. He loved it 200%. If your son is 6 or older,
                                                            I highly recommend it. 
      Christy with her new boyfriend. I love how he's looking at her. I miss the newborn Harper.
                          B.F.F's Clyde Berrett and Harper. Isn't that Mr. T Onesie so cool. 
                               Like I said boring stuff. I am just too tired to post, deal with it.

Ollism 7


Did you feel the earthquake today? I really don't remember having one this BIG with children. Oh sure there have been a few at night, but nothing that needed explaining. I was in the garage getting laundry. Max, Ollie, Xoe and Xanthe were outside. And my precious baby was in the house in his exasaucer. I felt the jolt and ran for him while yelling DON'T MOVE to the others. No damage done,  just a couple of things off shelves. Then Ollie came running in..........
Ollie- Mom wheres E.T?!!!
Me- What?(E.T what is he talking about?)
Ollie- Where did E.T land?
now I get it.The extra terrestial
Me- Oh no honey that was an earthquake, not a ship landing
Ollie says nothing, but stares at me like I'm the weird one.

Newman part 2






While in the lovely town of Newman, we took a hour and a half trip to the even lovelier town of Monterey. My great sisters loaded up all there bikes for us to do a bike ride on the shoreline. It was so beautiful. We rode to lovers cove. Well everyone but Max and Cathy. Right when we were almost to are destination Max drops to the ground and lays there. He was DONE! The life had been sucked right out of him. He could peddle no more. We tried to tell him how we were SOOOO close. But he wouldn't budge from his new bed on the ground. Of course my sister Cathy was nice enough to stay with him while we ventured on. She even gave him $5 to buy saltwater taffy. We also went to a Neato park called Dennis the Menace park. My boys loved it. I loved it too. It had some oldskool playground equipment that you don't see around anymore. So I preserved the moment in pictures. Enjoy!

The day has come!




We actually had no clue that this was going to happen but...... Yo Gabba Gabba toys are now at TARGET! A lady from church told us that she bought toys at Target yesterday. UHHHHH WHAT?!!! You mean Kid Robot? No Target. Or at least the Target off of Imperial and Idaho. So We all went down to see for oueselves. And sure enough, they were there!! It was so cool to see them. We wanted to wait to see someone pick one up to buy and then applaud. Anyways we are super excited, so please go to your nearest Target and tell us if it is there to! Oh and feel free to buy!

Tonight Ollie walked in picking his nose.......
Me- What are ya doing digging for gold?
Ollie- No I'm just getting my Boogies out and putting them somewhere when your not looking.
(he is now rubbing fingers together to magically make his boogies disappear)
Ollie- And sometimes when your not looking I put them in my mouth.
Scott- that's gross
Ollie- No! Daddy it tastes like.................(he was thinking)... milk.

BIG mistake


Word to the wise, never grocery shop hungry. Especially if you didn't make a list first. I have needed to shop for food for like 2 weeks now. Since I drank my last coke 0 last night I knew today was the day. What does a hungry, dieting, caffeine addicted single mom(Scott's been working 24-7) buy at the store? I am really embarrass to even say cuz I really like for my family to eat healthy and not too over processed. But you won't judge me right? I spent $200 and I don't think I bought one thing that could make a balanced meal. You ready for this?..........
Corn dogs
3 types of dieting ice cream bars
coke 0
3 types of 100 calorie packs
pizza roles (WHAT?!!!)
marshmallows ( just in case)
Chocolate chips
Molten lava microwaveable desserts
wheat thins
hot dogs(Vegetarian)
OK I 've embarrassed myself enough for the day. If your planning a slumber party for 12 year old girls I can totally cater it for you!

Look who's growing up


I'm actually talking about myself this time. Two things you should know about me are this
1. I'm the youngest of 8 kids. So that means I am a total baby.
2. I HATE driving 
Basically this means I never do road trips by myself. Besides my Dad always worried about us driving alone so it scared me. (I did say I was the baby of the family)Not to mention I have 3 boys. Well last Thursday I woke up, called my sister Terri and said I'm coming up. I don't know what got into me. Boredom?
So I think I figured out the key to a successful road trip for the Schultz family minus Scott ....
Nintendo Ds for max
Sonic the hedgehog videos for Ollie
Leaving at Harper's nap time for Harper and myself
A good book on CD(the Host) for me
I'm telling you with the book it almost makes me like the drive. It really keeps your mind off the fact that your tailbone hurts(I think I have an extra vertebra cuz my tailbone always hurts when I have to sit for too long)
My sisters Terri and Cathy live in a small town in northern California called Newman. It's the kind of town where they ran out of creativity for street names so they just used a letter like R Street. It always smells of cow poops. But I think it's kinda charming and it's an hour and a half away from everything. Like San franisco, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Yosemite and Target. WE had a fantastic time. I will be posting more on the trip this week. I just thought you should all know what a big girl I am!
