All the way from San Diego: October 2011

One of the things i love about Colorado other than its amazing beauty is how often the weathere changes. i like how its so unpredictable that we literally can go through all the seasons in one week. We got our first snow fall a couple of weeks ago and then it rained a few days after while lately the sun has been strong enough that i had to crank up the A/C in the car but wait...was that ICE i just scrapped off my windsheild the other morning not to mention the wind that came with it... like i said, SO unpredictable, i love it. My bestfriend, Taylor, once told me that "If the weather is ridicously nice out, you better get your jackets." she's so right. If mother nature doesnt decide to change it's mind the at the last minute, the weather man predicts snow coming our way in a couple days. This means, i gotta get as many pictures as i can of colorados beauty surrounding my munchkins before it's too late. After all, San Diego doesnt have trees and colors like this!
I dressed my babes up in their "big sister and little brother" outfits and headed off to the park. Since toddlers seem to be pretty independent and of course mine has "sass" my pictures didnt come out the way i wanted exactly, but the memories are just as important. I just wish their daddy could have shared those memories with us.Although Carson is still a newborn and couldnt have enjoyed it as much as Cheyenne, he did seem to like looking at all the pretty colors fall has to offer while cheyenne was chasing ducks and sliding down the same slide for the one millionth time :] love love love being a mommy to my "things one and two"

SORRY...i know, i know, i suck and havent written in forever...
Baby Carson Ryder Schutte was born on August 24, 2011 at 12:59am.
The expierience was incredible and completely different then when i had Cheyenne.
Cheyenne was awful. i was in labor for almost 24 hours, was throwing up, had back labor, and had to push for almost 3 hours...AWFUL i tell you. But my sweet baby boy Carson was so nice to me and was only in labor for 8 hours and pushed that sucker out in ten minutes. Though my husband couldnt be there, i did get to hear his voice... he was allowed to call me at the hospital and i had my best friends in the room with me.

[looks just like daddy when he was a baby]

SO...now Carson is almost 2 months old. I havent had a chance to catch my breath and write because i've been in super mom mode. A couple weeks after he was born he became extremely fussy and would throw up. i found out he had a protein allergy which happens to run in my family also..so i changed his formula to soy and turns out he can't break down the proteins in soy to have bowl movements. Now he's on special formula and is doing awesome :] happy...healthy...sweet boy.

I also started classes again on September 19th which has also been keeping me busy. I'm in my fifth week out of nine of my second psychology class. so far...so good! And when i get the chance, i exercise by taking the kids on 4 mile walks or (my recent favorite) go to zumba classes! i thank god for giving me the strength and the help i need to get me through all this but i especially thank both spencers family and my family for being there for me and helping me when i need it.

Oh, but you know i always make time for my sailor!

The funny box that i like to call "the LOL box"
