Well here we are starting a new week and it finds me at work in the middle of the night. We have had a busy week but are recovering from our vacation. Madison and Damon went back to school on Monday despite their moans and groans. They seem to be falling right back into the routine. Damon is doing his end of year testing this week and next. Madison has her kindergarten program on Wednesday and is very excited to dress up like a bug. How appropriate since we call her our Madi bug. Damon had his first baseball game on Saturday and he did well despite the terrible wind and dust storm that he played in.
I am getting braces tomorrow to correct the shifting that my wisdom teeth caused. So yes, I will be the brace faced nerd for a while. Madison thinks this is really cool and would like me to get pink braces because that would be cute. We shall see. Mike is busy with projects around the house and yard while he is on his days off. He might actually get to relax one of these days. :) He just found out that his brother Tim will be getting married next month to his long time girlfriend Beverly. He is sorry that he can't get out there for the wedding but did have to harass Tim about getting married on his birthday. Mike thinks that since his birthday is such a huge event, it will make it easier for Tim to remember the wedding anniversary. Congrats to Tim and Beverly!! Beverly thanks for making an honest man out of Tim. (Well, thanks for trying anyway)
Well, I guess that sums up the last week. We hope that all is well with everyone.
Love ya,
Michelle

Our Blog Debut






Well, it is the event that you have all been waiting for...the debut of our blog. I decided to take the plunge and create a blog. (I have no idea what I am doing so you will have to bear with me.)
As any of you who know us realize, our live and house is a constant zoo thus the URL Schultzoo. Should be easy to remember.

All is good here in the arctic tundra of Utah. I say that because we have had multiple days of snow in the last two weeks. We did have some reprieve in the form of a trip to Disneyland where they were having record heat. We went from snow here at home to 100 degrees in Anaheim. (We definitely were not complaining!!!) Mike is a Sergeant in Health Services at the Salt Lake County Sheriff's office. He has crazy and unbelievable stories that he brings home from work. Michelle is now working at Alta View Hospital in the Labor & Delivery/ Postpartum unit. She likes the change and is glad that the patients in the women's center are not nearly as sick as the ones on the med/surg floor. She is just finishing up her scrub class and will be scrubbing in for C-sections. Damon is getting close to the end of his 4th grade year and has loved it. His favorite subjects are science and history. He is just starting baseball season and is already looking forward to football season. Madison is finishing up her kindergarten year and has really enjoyed school. She loves to read and excited that she can read more books on her own. She is starting baseball season and takes hula, ballet, and jazz dance.

We just spent five days in California. We started by surprising my mom for her 60th birthday. (She thought she was going to surprise us by showing up in California while we were there but to her surprise it was a birthday celebration for her.) We then spent the weekend in Disneyland with my parents, Chris and Alicia. We had a blast. We were also lucky enough to visit with Pat and Sherrie (Mike's step-parents) while we were there. The kids love visiting them, especially since they let the kids feed and pet their koi. They have a huge fish pond in the back yard that entertained the kids for hours. Thanks to Pat and Sherrie for putting up with us on Sunday!!!



Well, I guess that is enough for one week. Mike is back to the grind tonight and I go back tomorrow. No rest for the wicked, right. We hope that everyone is doing well and that we can keep everyone posted on our comings and going with this blog.
Love,
Michelle
