Canon's 2nd Birthday Party


We had the best time celebrating Canon's 2nd Birthday! Before Aaron and I had really even started discussing birthday plans, Aaron got the idea to use Canon's birthday as an excuse to host a Flag Football Game. (Lucky for Canon, his birthday falls right around the kick-off of football season, so I have a feeling this won't be the only football themed party in his life!)
I wanted to be sure we had enough entertainment for those who were bringing kids, so I found a park in Old Town with a large field and a two-story playground. Though it rained all.day.long, the sun finally peaked out about an hour before "kick-off" and we had a great time! We are so grateful to all our friends who came to celebrate and play with us! 
The party-prep was pretty easy, though probably not Pinterest worthy! We picked up table cloths, napkins, balloons, etc from Party City that went along with our football theme. I got a vegetable tray, fruit tray, chips, water and cupcakes from the grocery store and we ordered 8 large pizzas. In lieu of presents, our friends added to the mix with snacks and beer! Simple, but easy and fun.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR BIG BOY! 

Also to be noted, we transitioned Canon to a toddler bed on Saturday night. I'm documenting the whole experience day by day for this first week to post next week. We've had 2 awesome nights, and last night was a struggle. Let's hope it gets better!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire!  {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word?   The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard.  {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me.  {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout , used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month! - First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief. - On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible!   - When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so
