Gameday Goodies

Happy Game Day everyone! I can't say how happy I am that college football and cool weather are here! We woke up this morning actually cold! It was about 60 degrees around 10am. Praise Jesus. I knew we moved to Colorado for a reason ;)

In honor of the most wonderful time of the year, I made a few gameday goodies yesterday.

First up is my mom's 7 layer dip. I'm sure y'all all have versions of this dip as well, but this is what we use in my family.




Our ingredients
 

















First layer, Frito Bean Dip



Then a layer of sour cream mixed with taco seasoning


Guacamole



Then a mix of cheese, green onions and tomatoes


Next up I made some chocolate covered pretzels with orange, purple and red sprinkles.



I melted white chocolate chips over a "double boiler"
btw - you have to do this on low or else you burn your chocolate, good thing I bought 2 bags!

 Dipped my pretzels in


Finally, add my colored sprinkles! 
 Go Big Red! (for Aaron)



 GO TIGERS!!!!



I hope you enjoy your Gameday! We've got Clemson going on ESPN 3, a few others on the TV and the Nebraska game on gamecast. It really is the most wonderful time of the year!

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 ...

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

what's going on

We're starting to try some rice cereal. I've been pretty sporadic about it, but after his 6 month appointment (which is NEXT WEEK!) I'll start putting "solids" into our every day routine.      Canon has found his feet! Now every diaper change is just the most fun, trying to get those toes into his mouth!   Canon is officially rolling over, both sides! This particular picture happened when I had gone into my bedroom for a hot second and came out to find him on his tummy! He can do it regularly now, though he doesn't love being on his tummy and rolls back over quickly.  Other things going on: Canon is officially sleeping unswaddled!! I guess around 2 weeks ago, we started again with the one arm out and went from there. He now sleeps in a fleece sleep sack with arms. I'm not going to lie, the process wasn't quite as daunting as I had originally thought, but I think that is because we waited until he was really ready.  ...
