They are getting so big!

"Enjoy this time, it goes by so fast." This is something we hear from many people. These two things prove that to be true. Our big boy really is getting big. Listen to him read his book to us. He is so proud! It is amazing how his teacher has helped him this year.

This is a picture of Andie sitting on her big girl bed. She is also very proud of herself and has slept through the night five nights in a row! Our baby girl is no longer a baby!

Here are two parents bursting with pride! These kids fill our hearts with a love that is irreplacable!

Winter Break...

Winter break is always fun and filled with lots of activities. Here is a glimpse of what we did this winter break.


Santa brought each of us a new Green Bay Packers shirt. Davis got a new Eddie Lacy jersey from Grandpa and Grandma. He wore it all day, slept in at night and cried when he couldn't wear it the next day.  We sported our new gear on December 27th during the Packers game.

The kids LOVED playing with bubble wrap to entertain them one day. Who knew it could be so much fun?

Snow much fun....

We got to see some family December 23rd. Isaak really has gotten big!

Scarlett and Davis are certainly not shy in front of the camera. They were waiting so patiently to open presents. Well, as patient as a 3 year can wait. ;) December 24, 2015

This is about as good as it gets for family pictures with us four.

The Schulz kids must have been extra good this year because Santa found time to visit them on Christmas Eve! His tractor was a better mode of transportation, because the reindeer were taking a short breather.

Apparently, Santa thought both kids needed a gun. Now, we start the lessons on how to use these fake toys. Andie was so excited to have the same thing as her older brother.

 Here are some smiles with Great Uncle Craig. I'm pretty sure this was after he got her come ice cream.

Sledding fun behind the Ranger with Grandma Sheila. 

Andie finally let Aunt Bie play with her. She can play hard to get.

Andie and one of her favorites, Uncle Scott!

Hugs from Andie, to cousin Isaak. 

Davis and Gavin put together this cool dragon puzzle. 

Good bye 2015. You have been so good to our family!

Magical Moments!

We were surprised to see Santa Clause checking in on our kids last night. Davis's eyes were as big as saucers because he was being good! He was wondering if he could open his presents now. He was also worried Belle might get one of the reindeer.  :) Andie (who just started to say "Mamma") has now mastered "Santa" and "Ho, ho, ho".  She kept going to the window and pointing, "Santa, ho, ho, ho!" It certainly was magical!

After all the craziness, we got to sit by the fire and hangout. 

Prepping for Christmas!

Time to cut down a tree for the Westendorf Farm. Davis and Grandpa Kevin are checking this one out.

I'd say Davis is excited about this tree.

Davis and Andie playing with the lights. We sure do love these two kiddos!

Grandma Norma giving Davis an egg cracking lesson. (Davis's first egg ended up on the floor.)

 

Grandpa Kevin and Grandma Norma took Davis to Cedar Falls to celebrate Christmas. I hope they had as much fun as Davis did! He told me that he snuck up on the Grinch and scared him! Such a magical time of the year!

The Puppies Are Here!

The puppies are playful now, but not quite biting. That makes this a perfect time to visit with the kids! Davis is wondering which one he gets to take home. Sorry buddy, not happening!

Wedding Video

Although we were a little sad Andie didn't walk down the aisle, these three were so adorable! I love how Scarlett is very proper in this video. She is in her element up there. Davis and Scarlett were convinced they were the ones getting married. I wish these kids got to see each other more often, because they have so much fun together! Brock's facial expressions are priceless! ;)

Schulz/ Noble Wedding Weekend

Davis was practicing his dance moves. He wanted to impress "His Chelle" on her big day! Impressive??

 

Andie and her mommy have matching toenails! Don't look too close, I paint like a kindergartener!

 

One of the newest members of the family, Miss Olivia. Looking good!

The man of the day, Sawyer!

Grandpa Schulz and I smile for a selfie! 

 

Andrew and his little girl. Don't they look so nice? (Andie and Scarlett's dresses were made from Grandma Sheila's wedding dress. They turned out perfect!)

Grandma Sheila and Amanda get Brock ready for the big ceremony.

Four generations here- Great Grandma Rita, Grandma Sheila, Momma Stephanie and Andie. Priceless!

Ceremony is over and it's time to celebrate Michelle and Sawyer! We don't get a picture of the two of us very often. LOVE!

Shannon with his sweet moves...

Honored to be part of their big day! Hugs and kisses to this beautiful bride and handsome groom!

Here we are… all four Schulz siblings. I wouldn't change one thing about growing up with these boys!

Then, my brothers married these amazing girls… So many blessings in our family!

It's getting late and Davis is about ready to hit the hay. One last dance with his Grandma Sheila.

Wow, my mom looks amazing! You are an inspiration to me and I am proud to call you Mom!

Unfortunately, I didn't get many pictures at the reception. There are some pictures missing in here. I didn't get a good one of Davis and his tie with suspenders. I didn't get any of Grandpa Kevin and Grandma Norma who helped us out tremendously! Regardless, it was a beautiful day and now we are ready for a nap! ;)
