Springtime!!!!

With springtime comes... MUD!!!! And Kai sure knows how to find the mud puddles. And loves to play in them too. Here he is jumping around out back

Cool action shot!
"You have a little mud on your butt, buddy!"

Here's our little climber. Leila loves to climb up on any and every chair in the house, and out of the house too, as you can see.
Kai and Leila pretending to be asleep on the kitchen floor, one of their favorite games
On one of our trips to the zoo, Kai as a baboon
What a handsome little boy

As you can see, Leila loves to feed herself. She even gets some in her mouth!
Watching "Dora" in their chairs.

Here are some pictures of gym class. It was their last class of the semester so they received ribbons and even Mi-Mi had a chance to come see them show off their skills
Leila working the rings with Mi-Mi's help
And walking the balance beam with their awesome instructor Miss Taron
"This is how you do it, Leila!"

Happy February!

Hi everyone!
I wanted to upload some pictures we've taken after the new year. Grampa Schultz came down for a visit and we all had a great time and had a chance to have a family photo taken. I should have told uncle Mike to put down the light saber. Oh well. Love to everyone and enjoy the pics.

Rusty came down to visit as well and the kids loved chasing her around. She sure is a great dog and was amazing with the kids.
This picture is a bit out of order, but Kai is giving Casey the homemade treats he baked for her that came all the way from Hawaii from Auntie Julie and Auntie Susan.
Here is the craziness of our kitchen while baking the doggie treats. Leila helped too!
Baking with mommy!
"Oooh, Casey, you're going to love your treats!"
As you can imagine he loved throwing the flour around!
"Uh, Kai, that is not what I meant when I asked if you wanted some juice."
"Daddy, is the snow ever going to melt?"
Oh, yeah, Mommy and Daddy are fine, too!
The kid is just cute. And now as he gets older he is getting funny too. He gives us looks that he knows are funny.
This is a fort that Kai asked Mommy to build for him. Leila waddled into the other room and when I followed her in she was sitting in the fort checking it out and loving every minute of it as you can see!
Spending time with Pa
They are doing pretty much everything together lately, it's so cute.

Playing with his hoola-hoop

Christmas pictures and winter at the Zoo

Christmas morning at the Schultz's! It seems so long ago to be writing about Christmas when it was really only a few weeks ago. But here are some pictures of our Christmas. The kids made out like bandits of course, but they have been pretty good this past year so I guess they deserved it. I also hope everyone got our Christmas video we sent out on Christmas eve? I think I typed in everyone's correct email but you never know. If you didn't receive an email from me on with our Yearly review video linked to it, then I'm sorry. There is a link to view the video after this set of pictures, it is called Schultz Year in Review. Hope everyone is doing well.

We have already had a few snow storms here in PA as you can see in the background. We have to get all bundled up when we take Casey for her walks...
...which makes it even warmer and cozier when we get back inside and snuggle up with our Pillow Pets we got from Aunt Dianne and Uncle Robbie and stuffed animals from Aunt Linda!
