I get to see my little dude a lot lately :)

All for now!! Serious countdown to Christmas!

Thanksgiving and Such

Thanksgiving this year was alot of fun.. I hope everyone had a great one!

but this year is different.. a good different.

I am thankful for a new aide, my family and my friends, and of course..

Off to a new subject...

Jackson and the aunties at the new house:

So much love to you little boy!! Happy December!!!

Christmas is on the way!! :)

Urinetown

Oconomowoc High School Players present

'Urinetown'

Here is a description of the play:

A winking spoof of the conventions of musical theatre and an untempered satire where no one is safe from scrunity, Urinetown depicts a futuristcs world wracked by ecological disaster. In a Gotham-like city a depletion of the earth's water supply has led to a governmental-enforced ban on private toliets. The "privilege to pee" is now regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs.

If youre asking yourself if I got the description off of the internet.. I did. haha :)

Alot of my friends were in this play so I thought I'd go for them. Must I say it was a very funny play, some serious parts, some funny parts.

Well done OHS, you did well. I enjoyed it.

All for now.

Happy Birthday Liz!

There aren't pictures in this post because everyone was just all over the place. The boys were more into watching TV then chatting with the girls.

Suprise.. Suprise...

Last Friday the family celebrated Liz's birthday at Lindsay's house. A very good meal was in order. It was just a relax and chit-chat kind of night.

For Liz's birthday present, everyone pitched in for all of the Packer gear we got her.

Kristin also bought a Turkey birthday cake, very delicious :)

Not a huge "birthday night" just a "family get together"

Hope you enjoyed your special day Liz!

XOXO

My Little Dude...

This past week I've gotten to spend time with Jack...

BTW:: I don't love this baby at all....

:)

Jackson,

"I'll love you to the moon and back, I'll love you all the time.

Deeper than the ocean and higher than the pines."

On The Agenda...

School.. School and more school has been on my agenda, but I do get a break from it because I have 2 days of school next week and then Turkey Break (yay!!)

Mother was on vaca again (yes.. again) in Las Vegas so Kim, my dad and I it was.. the three of us! I had some friends over Friday. Slept over at Jason's house Saturday and relaxed at home Sunday.

This weekend the family is celebrating Liz's birthday tonight at Lindsay's house! Tomorrow night my mom and I are going to see the Oconomowoc High School play 'Urinetown' (yes you read that correct.. Urinetown.. should be interesting)

Next week is Thanksgiving! Get thinking about what you are thankful for!

XOXO :)

Randoms...

We ended October with the AZ vaca and a bit of relaxation after.

Brett and Kristin took Jack to show off his pumpkin costume at Auntie Linds house:

What he thought of Auntie Linds place:

Now we are in November..crazyy!

The little peanut turned 6 months on the 5.. crazy where the time goes.

He's been alot of fun:

New Fav Picture:

That's all for now!

Arizona Vacation 2011

You were warned..

Plenty of pictures..

(out of order, oh well, you'll get the jist of our fun vaca)

Let's start with the airport..

As mentioned in the last post.. Mom, Dad, Brett, Kristin, Kim, Jack and I took a limo to the airport (so cool!)

Here is Kim, Brett, and myself eating lunch and chatting while waiting to get our vacation started.

Woo! AZ, here we come!
Brett, Kristin, Kim, Jack and I drove through the mountains and stopped at Lake Bartlett:

Vaca included bath-time for Jack in the mini sink

Just the right size for him... for now...

Cuddles.. pool side :)

Daddy Brett and Auntie Kimmie took a walk with Jack and got him this hat:

Glamma bought Jack a new toy to keep in AZ:

I was on bottle-feeding duty:

(Pictures are out of order sorry!)

Saturday morning snuggles:

Jackson was our entertainment at the pool and hot-tub:

Kim & I in the mountains:

Kris and I:

All in all a GREAT vacation I absolutely loved every minute of it!
A complete difference from Wisconsin..

shorts and tank tops everyday.. yay!!

I think I could have gotten used to that again :)

See you in April Arizona!

Could Be My New Home.... Thank You Arizona!

No pictures on this post yet, but they will arrive soon!

Mom, Dad, Brett, Kristin, Kim, Jackson and I took a lovely flight to the new house in Arizona! I got to leave school early to catch the flight. A limo picked us up at our house with many bags/suitcases. A success of the flight, nice and easy.

We arrived Friday night and we all took the Arizona Limo from the airport to the condo in Carefree. 1 block from Cave Creek, 10 miles from Scottsdale. Must I say, from Wisconsin to Arizona.. weather.. MAJOR change, cold to hot. On even a greater note: no bugs here in AZ! Yay!!

Friday night, we all just settled in, unpacked, scoped out the house, walked down by the pool/hot-tub area, chatted about what are the "hot spots" near the condo etc.

I don't want to give too much away because I still need to blog about the great weekend we had and add in pictures.. those will arive soon!!

Keep a Look-Out for the fun pictures and adventures!

The next Schuetz and Etzel vaca is this Friday to the beautiful state of AZ

All for now.. :)

Two Events...Great Times!

Been so long, many fun things have happened. Let's begin with Jason and Kim's birthday.

Wednesday September 21 was the "twinnies" birthday. Grilled Pizza at Jason's house.. YUM!

Brownies and Icecream for dessert. :)

Auntie Kimmie and Jackson: The next event was last weekend with Kristin, my mom, Jackson and I as we ventured to Minnesota for the weekend to visit The Brechts! Yay! We stayed at the Courtyard Marriot.. few issues.. but we managed to have a great time!

Kristin's old "shopping stop" from college..

Cuddles at Walmart:

At our destination! Minnesota :)

Jack's first trip to MN:

I love this kiddo so much!

My two favorite boys,

Oliver Brecht and Jackson Etzel:

Such a great trip (again cutting out the issues)

Can't wait to see the Brechts again with Baby Girl Brecht.. waiting and waiting.. :)

Hello Fall, and Hello Junior Year!!

Clearly I need some new pictures.. haven't been around a camera lately because the lovely Summer 2011 ended.. and school started up.

All in all my Junior year of high school is good. I got a new aide, I guess all those meetings were worth it.. Thank you Mom!! My aide is someone I had way back in elementary school.. crazy where things can take you. Since school started I really haven't been able to see Jack, but I try as much as I can when I'm off school. :)

So.. Homecoming 2011 is like super early this year.. September 24... but lets pray that OHS wins their home game! I will not be attending the dance because A) I don't want too.. pretty lame last year, and B) I will be in Minnesota for the weekend with Kristin, my mom, and Jackson visiting Emily, Corey, Oliver, Daisy and Baby Girl!!

Next week Wednesday Jason will be 32.. oh boy and college Kim will be 19..how time flies!

Well.. that's my September in a nutshell!! :)

Last Trip Up North for Summer 2011

This past weekend my parents, my friend Jenny and I headed up north for the last summer 2011 trip. Friday-Monday. We had beautiful weather the whole weekend! (YAY!!) which also meant work for my parents to do outside of the cabin... Like clean the pontoon and more extra work! I didn't help (haha shocking) My friend and I were having a great time during our summer vaca before school starts.

Jenny and I: ohh.. how I LOVE this view of the lake:


Jenny is really good at photographing this is a picture of our neighbor Ron's house.. (well part of it) but my parents and I really like this picture because my friend is super good at photographing.

We took a pontoon boat ride around our beautiful lake and we got really close to the loon.. but it went under water... the button "zoom" on the camera! :)
This was a very fun and relaxing last trip of Summer 2011... but not to worry.. more fun in just a few weeks! Yay! :)
