Zack lost his first tooth on Sunday. It has been so loose for a while but he just wouldn't pull it out or let anyone else do it. He said that he needed corn on the cob to get it out. So the store finally had decent corn so I bought some, but that didn't do the trick. Finally he just let me wiggle it and pull it. He could tell that it was going to come out so he did it and got it yanked out. He was very proud.

That night when I put the boys to bed, Zack was just a crying. I asked him what was wrong and he said "I love my teeth!! I don't want the tooth fairy to take it!! Why does she take our teeth? I just want a dollar" Howl, Howl. I tried to get him calmed down, but he was so sad. So he finally asked me if I could write a note to the Tooth Fairy telling he to leave his tooth. This is what he asked me to write "Dear Tooth Fairy, I really love my tooth and would like to keep it. And I really want a dollar. Thank you Love, Zack"
It was so cute. He stuck the note and his tooth under his pillow and finally went to sleep. In the morning, I heard a howl out of him and him saying she took his tooth. Then he laughed and said "She did see my note. Here is my tooth. And a dollar!!" He came up the stairs very happy!!

Tyler has been playing soccer this spring. He can do really good when he focus sometimes he just doesn't want to be there. This day I happened to turn on the camera right as he kicked a goal. The little black thing is his shoe flying off.




This clip may be a little long but I just wanted to show you Zack and him trying very hard to be a good soccer player. No goal caught on Camera but he is getting the idea as you can tell. This is an enjoyable activity for us to watch our children participate in things they enjoy.

Recitals...

We've been kind of busy around here and I have had some events to post about and just haven't gotten to them yet. I had my very first recital as a piano teacher this last week. It turned out so great. All of my students are beginners so it was their first recital, too. I think I was as nervous as the kids were. We had it at our church in the primary room, which I thought would be less intimidating. They all did so good and I was so proud of them. I am glad to have it done, but it was so fun.
Here are a few pictures of some of the students.



Zack had a "recital" also. It was his Preschool Graduation Program but he liked to call it his recital. It was so darn cute!! He was very proud and did so good!!
The graduate
This was his little part he had memorized. He was not shy at all.

Wrestling at the Shuldbergs

This is a constant thing at our house the wrestling and playing until someone gets injured. We thought we would share a day in the life of the Shuldberg family.

A new paint job...

So I have been wanting to repaint my wall in the kitchen that gets so dirty. It didn't matter how much I scrubbed the darn thing, it never looked clean. So I deliberated about the color and decided I wanted blue. Some people really tried to talk me out of it, but I stuck to my guns and did it. It is a little lighter than I really pictured but I really like it. Blue is such a happy color. And my wall looks so clean now. We also painted on the other side of the wall and down our hallway. It changed the look so much. I love it!! Shon was so great and helped me and we did it really fast.


I got the pictures in the wrong order. I just wanted you all to see that I did take down my Christmas Village that I love so much!! You can see the blue paint down the hall in this shot.
Blue, blue wall. I really like it!!
Zack finally got to start soccer this spring. THe poor kid has had to wait and watch his older brother for three seasons. He was so ready. And he loves, loves it!!! They do it a little different for his age. We go at 6:00 on Fridays and they do drills and practice for about 45 min. Then they have a scrimmage for the next 45 min. They play 3 on 3 in a very short field. It is pretty fun to see him. There are two Zacks on the team so he is Zack 7 because that is his number. The little short kid in the bottom of the picture is Zack 5. So fun!!

Nothing too exciting to write about here. We seem to be very busy, too busy sometimes. But life is good.

Fun stuff at Ty's school

This was a fun performance the whole school did. They showcased some of the songs that their music teacher taught them this year. All the first graders went together, then the second graders and so on. Each group performed three songs. It was so fun to watch. It is no wonder why the kids love their music teacher. He is so great. It was really good to see him and you could tell all the kids love him.

Somtimes I still can't believe that Ty is in first grade, knows how to read and is so dang smart. The kid usually blows my mind. He is a really good boy, despite my short falls as a mom. His heart is so big and is so giving. He is pretty darn intense and sometimes doesn't know for sure how to handle it (him or me) but that is good sometimes. I really can't say enough good about my first born. I am so very proud of him.

In school, they prepared for a Reader's Theater. They performed three stories. Tyler was the Gingerbread Man in his group. All of those kids were so darn cute. And Ty was very proud. He did so good!!

Easter

I know I am really late posting about Easter, but better late than never I guess. I actually feel like I am late with most things nowadays. But that is a whole post in itself. Easter was fun. We went to Shon's folks on Saturday for a yummy brunch and Egg Hunt. The kids had lots of fun. Grandma had hidden the eggs first, then I had to hide them again a few times for them.

Not such a great shot of me. Hope you can't see my underwear. Just don't zoom in on this one. But Cam was so cute. He had no idea what to do at first, but when he figured it out, he loved it!!
Grandma helping with the last few they couldn't find.
Our friends Tom and Emily have an annual egg hunt at their house the Saturday before Easter. It is so fun because tons of kids show up. We have to make sure that everyone had 12 eggs to be fair.
Cam wanted to ride in their tractor more that finding eggs.
Easter morning was good. The Easter bunny actually brought the boys light savers (as they are called in our house). Pretty excited. Didn't get many pictures that morning, not sure why.
Easter morning we woke up to finding more eggs. Then Shon had to leave for meetings as usual on Sundays. I loved Easter morning and focusing on Christ. I seemed to be so on top of getting the boys and myself ready with out my usual grouchiness. I was a little nervous because I had to sing in sacrament, but it was a great morning. Church was great and I think the song was good and then we had a yummy ham dinner with Shon's folks and MaryBeth, Bryan, Payton and Whitney.
