A story about a duck

Once upon a time, a momma duck was about to lay her eggs. She found a perfect spot in the Schultz's neighbor's flower bed, and there laid 8 eggs. Perfect, she thought. The wild animals will never find me here. Little did she know that wild humans roamed the area. They looked at her all day, every day giving her little to no privacy. They even shooed her away sometimes so they could mess with the black stick next to her nest (sprinklers). Momma duck was so scared of the humans, but she was so brave and never left her nest.. EVER!! Not even to eat. Sometimes if they got to close, she would growl at them. The humans felt bad for her, and tried to throw her some bread to eat, but she boldly refused! Momma duck didn't like the humans at all, and planned to vacate her nest as soon as her babies were born. And after approximately 28 days...she did. Without the friendly Schultz family getting to see her babies.... :(    

The End!

A wittle west and wewaxation

Cancun, Mexico! Another vacation come and gone! (why does that always happen so fast?!) We saw the Myan ruins at Chichen Itza below. It's amazing what they were able to build hundreds of years ago. I was so glad Brad could speak spanish on this trip! Our whole 2hr bus ride to the ruins was almost all in spanish, so I was glad Brad could translate some of it for me! The beach was amazing... best beach I've ever been to. I would compare the sand to flour, it was so soft! We're sad it's over already, but it was a great way to kick off our summer!



The pyramid dates back to about 1200 AD





My first time seeing a live, wild iguana!

  

Mourn with us the passing...

... of Cindy's youth!!!
Mom turned 50! One foot in the grave.. so the obvious thing to do was have a funeral!



My wonderful dad was the founder of this whole operation, and what's a funeral without a coffin?!
Soooo creepy!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! We all love you! Here's to 50 more.

In short..

Happy Halloween

Happy Thanksgiving

Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year!!

first time trying Indian food!

We are alive!!!

Just busy.. not much time for getting on the computer. I've heard that pictures say a thousand words, so here's a thousand pictures (and 5hrs worth of blogging) to tell the past happenings of our life:

our adorable twin baby nephews were born just before thanksgiving!

James and William

thanksgiving dinner with the Schultz family! yum!

I graduated in December and started working at a Dr's office in Taylorsville!



 a little late, but Merry Christmas to everyone!!

February started our winter torture of the Winter Racing Circuit!

your butt starts to cramp at the end of 18 miles!

i can't believe i'm posting this, but i thought it was kind of funny. i sweat like a man when i run..
yes that is a sweaty, salt mustache!

Brad and I got called to teach sunbeams! they are so cute
(don't they look like Joseph of Egypt and his brothers??)

April FOOLS! here's just one of the many jokes i played on brad this blessed holiday
.. can you see it?

i am blessed with such resources through my work and they provided a great opportunity to gross out Brad. and believe me, he was grossed out! he wouldn't even touch them to take them out of the fridge.. i ended up having to do it!

June 11th- Happy 2 years to my honey and me! i love you!

we signed up for the Ragnar Relay this year!
 i was the only provider of estrogen in our van, lots of testosterone to keep up with over 188 miles!

here's the whole team at the finish line!

our big trip this year was HAWAII.. "the land where palm trees sway"
3 words: it was amazing.

i know this looks like a cancerous tumor, but i assure you it isn't. i thought i could stand to get a little hawaiian sun, but wanted to protect my moles from the damaging rays, and this was the result.. sunscreen apparently works when applied! (so does aloe vera with lidocaine- it's amazing!)

a bit windy

this was at the polynesian cultural center. Brad was dying to play the drums..

this was one of the biggest highlights.. seeing sea turtles right on the beach!

did i mention they were HUGE... and that we touched them?!

pearl harbor

so, once you get grass put in and bulbs planted you're done taking care of your yard right?
NOT.. now you have to keep it all alive. we've been learning a lot this summer. the flowers you see below were once real, thriving, beautiful flowers.. they just no longer exist. DIE to the grasshoppers, sun, and non-working sprinklers.. whichever of you killed my flowers!

happy 4th of July.. my favorite holiday!

i had a birthday, and turned 22

my dad and hannah.. the makers of the cake. (i'll just tell you what is is and save you the trouble of figuring it out) it's supposed to be the hawaiian islands. my dad prides himself in making the most ridiculous looking cakes of something that applies to the birthday person. they were awesome when i was little.. now, we just laugh!

happy 1 year to my brother on his mission- he's doing awesome! sorry the picture is blurry, but it did come all the way from panama!

another trip was to San Francisco

bowling.. like father, like son

showing off my mad bowling skills!

don't let this picture deceive you, we are watching the movie!

.. i might or might not have shed a tear or two in toy story 3, but thanks to these cool 3-D glasses, no one will ever know!

these are my besties (minus a few).. good luck to Bekah on her mission!

i caught Sasquatch (aka. Maddi) digging in the garbage!!

i decided to make home-made pop tarts! the first batch didn't turn out so well :)

one of my favorite things ever.. DEMOLITION DERBYS!!!!!
(that's my winning car!)

YEE HAAWW!

So that's our life the past almost year!
