Schulte's New Info and Question

I don't want Hannah's Christmas Information to get lost so I'll make this quick.

We successfully made it to Kentucky. Pictures coming soon.

Our address until January 31st is:
Ryan and Meghan Schulte
PO Box 854
Fort Knox, KY 40121-0854

We have a new email address: schulte777@hotmail.com. We'll still be checking our other emails, but slowly transitioning to this one.

AND - if anyone has pictures from the wedding (other than the ones you posted to the blog), please send them to me. I'm composing our guest book/scrapbook and would love to include pics you took!

Christmas Craziness Continues

Okay, it sounds like the cousins would like to draw names and do the calendar. I agree that doing families would be great, but there are only six families - Rika/Mark and family; Hannah/Jerry and family; Bri/Peter and bebe; Matt/Kelly and boys; Meg/Ryan; and, Randa/Nate and Emma. If you six would like to exchange families, we can do that and throw the rest of the names in the hat. If you want to do Randa's idea of a fun little something on special days, then I will do individuals. Unless you six want to do individuals, I will draw the six families and then the rest of the cousins. You have until Friday and then the drawing will begin. Thank you for responding to the interference on the part of the aunts/uncles. Maybe next year we will just do this at Ben and Katie's wedding!!
Have a great day. I will mail some money to you, Hannah, but would you put Gramma and me down for calendars, please??? Thank you!
Love

Belated Birthday Blah-Blah

We're a bit late, but we do want to give a bit shout-out to this week's Birthday Buddies, Jim and Beryl. Jim's birthday was last Sunday, and the big celebration was painting Connie's house. However, there was a bit of Howard's Pizza on Saturday night, along with a couple beers. Rumor has it that Jim got back to SLC on time Sunday for Beryl's Famous Meatballs, so we know they celebrated well.


Beryl's birthday was last Wednesday. Unfortunately, we haven't heard any news about how that celebration went. I guess it could go one of two ways: (1) no news is good news? or (2) they haven't yet recovered enough to make contact with the outside world. Anyway, we hope both birthdays were great. We love ya both!

A Consensus then?

Wow, apparently it just takes Jan to get the cousins moving. Good to know. So it looks like we are doing a present exchange and a calendar, which is awesome. I'm hoping that Jan will similarly take charge of drawing cousin names or delegating that task to another responsible individual. And there was mention of doing family drawings for those of us with them, which I am totally for. So, as for me, I'd love to be put in the drawing as "Hannah's Family" and that should also cut down on some of the confusion of older and younger cousins and second cousins.
Now as for the pictures, I have to give a huge shoutout to Miranda who has sent me a boatload of them already as well as all important dates pertaining to her familia! You rock! I need to make sure that I will have a picture of every family member. I can crop you out of a group shot if that is all I have, but I will need your head to put on your birthday. If you want you and your spouse on an anniversary date, I need a picture of your two heads together as well. Then any other pictures you have, send them along and I'll do all I can with what I receive. My email address is: hannaphil@msn.com (notice the no "h" at the end of my name, sorry that can be confusing.)
I need pictures as soon as possible, hopefully in the next two weeks. (Jan, can you also post a blog asking everyone to get their pictures to me in the next two weeks? Thanks.) Also, if you want to order a calendar, you need to get me the ten smackers by November first. And we can only order the calendar once, then it is lost in cyberspace. My address for such dinero is: Hannah Philpot, 5744 Aberdeen Lane, Stansbury Park, UT 84074. Sounds groovy! Love, Hannah

We're gonna paint your wagon!

Last weekend was paintin' time at the Morris household. To fulfill a rather rash birthday promise to Connie, the five sibs (and a couple of the less stable spouses) joined in a two-day flurry of tape, brushes, and rollers.


These first few photos pose the question, "Is it possible to paint with your mouth closed?" Apparently not.

Ann and Connie measure for picture placement. This face-off between Bill and Connie isn't as bad as it looks. Finally, Tom and Marc work on the fine art of mitering the molding.

Cousins' Christmas

Hannah was very diligent and tried to get cousin comments on what was to be done for Christmas exchanges. Unfortunately, only two responded and the rest did not comment! It is hard to know what you would all like to do when no one voices their opinion. The adult siblings have chosen to draw names. What would the 2nd and 3rd generations like to do?? If you would like to draw names with a maximum of $10 spent, vote yea. If not, vote nay. This needs to be resolved by October 1st. We don't mean to interfere in cousin business, but this needs to be taken care of. The majority rules on this, but if you don't want to participate, just ask that your name be removed from the drawing. We think that the calendar idea is a GREAT idea and that it should be done regardless of whether you draw names or not. Each person will order and pay for as many calendars as they would like. BE SURE TO GET YOUR PICTURES INTO HANNAH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If you have a question, post it here. Remember to vote. Connie, Jim and Tom had their hand in this, too. We had a lengthy discussion at dinner and this was a consensus of opinion on our part. So you go cousins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NICKOLAS!!

Nickolas Jorge turns 21 on Sunday. I know this is a bit early, but I figured he would be in shape to see this right now. Maybe not so good on Sunday. Anyway, happy birthday, Nicko! We love you tons! Be smart this weekend.

New Look

I made a few changes to the blog format. Let me know what you think, and if you don't like it we can revert back to the old way of doing things around here.

Oh, and you can now add videos from your computer to the blog if you'd like.

Happy Birthday, Shannon!

Monday marks Shannon's 20th Birthday! She will no longer be a teen and is be well on her way to being a pretty cool young adult. The parents came down for a birthday dinner tonight and tomorrow Shannon's friends are throwing her a barbeque. Wish Shannon a Happy Birthday!

We Need Some Help

I say "we" in the collective sense of the word. We as Notre Dame fans need some help. Suffice it to say the season has been a little disappointing so far. I figured it would be a "growing" year for the Irish, but I never would have predicted an 0-3 start and the shellackings they have taken in those games. It is time to call upon a higher power, whether you believe in God, Buddha, or just Karma, we need something. So all of you Irish faithful in the family, which is just about everyone by my count, come together and say a prayer, light some incense, or do a good deed to get Karma back on our side. We need a win and nothing would be sweeter than getting it against Michigan State at home. I'm counting on you Moore brethren!!

Moore reunion pix

Here are a few more shots from the reunion. My friend and fellow picker, Mike Killeen, hides out on stage.

Here's the blue crew at the top of the butte.

At the Berg ranch, where Fort Logan sits, Buck, George Berg, and Jim do a little fence-rail yarn-spinnin'




This last one may be my favorite -- Kay and Eliza taking a togetherness break at the Boulder Bar Cemetary near Diamond City.

Grandbabies

I am sure that you have all heard the news of the newest addition to the Buyske tribe. And I am sure that you have all seen my comments about how cute they are. But, I just had to put out there for everyone to see that I think unemployment is grand and ihat there is no better place to be right now than here in Anacortes. William and I have taken long walks together; gone to the beach lots; just sat on the curb and chatted about crab grass. It is amazing how times like this make you realize how crazy schedules can actually make a person!! I have been lucky to be able to spend a little over two weeks with this little family and it has been awesome! Yes, Mom, I am moving to Helena - on September 24th to be exact!! This has been a great way to make the cut from Shelby and when I go back to pack, I am only telling two people good-bye. When you do see me you had better hide as I have great baby pictures on my cell phone!
I am posting this under Matt's since I have been erased off the "legal" bloggers.

A Christmas Question

Ok, so I never heard a united agreement on what the plans were for our cousin Christmas celebratory plans. Are we still doing presents? That is great if we are but we need to get the names up on the web. Do we want to do the calendar instead? That's fine too but we need to get going on pictures if that is the case. I am willing to do the calendar this first year if that is the plan- unless someone else is itchin' to do it. Either way, could we come to a consensus via the blog? That would be fan-tabulous!

School Days

Thought I would send out a couple of pics of the kids off to a new year at school since that is news around here. Carter is in kindergarten and Mikayla is in second grade, coincidentally with Mr. Carter as her teacher. Kesiah pretty much just hangs out with wreaths around her head. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MADISON!

Happy birthday to Madison Jo. She is 10 on Tuesday, September 11. This is a photo of her hangin' at the Two Dot bar!

Happy days, Magoo! We love ya tons!
