Ride for the Brand

A few pictures of Wyatt. 8 lbs. 2 oz. 21 inches long. Born at 3:15pm on Sunday, June 28th.

Well, these are just some random pictures. Top left: Brinley holding Baby Jack LeBron Beck. Top right: Just curious to see what a mustache would look like. Middle two and bottom: A storm moving in on us at Simpson Springs.

Well, Liz has finished school and is now eligible for business. The state of Utah has spoken and the verdict is that she is qualified and able to make the nails of all women in the state of Utah as beautiful as they desire. So if anyone wants to get their nails done or know someone with such a wish, let us know! The baby is almost here! Less than two months and there will be another Redford/Schultz hellion on the earth. We're excited and are trying to get the house ready for him. And we're glad that summer is almost here so we can spend more time out of doors. It makes having a rambunctious little girl easier. Everyone is healthy and doing well. We were able to go to the Temple and do Justin's work for him on May 13th. I did the initiatory work and my dad did his endowment. It was good. Hard to believe it's already been a year. Well, I gues that's enough for today. See ya'll later!!

I hope everyone can see these. Like I said, I'm still learning. Just a little Collage so everyone can see our Brinley.

Well, here are some pictures of the baby at one year, (with the cake), another one year party, (with the bag) and driving the truck. Hopefully there are some of her Easter at both grandparents. Hope I did it right. I'm still learning and trying to figure things out.

Well, apparently the expected time for studying, taking and passing a test and getting a license to do business is two weeds for the Allstate office I had a job offer at, so now I am still looking for something else and the phlebotomy class is full and a new one isn't starting in until September, which doesn't really fit into the plan. I bought an Iron Gym and am going to start exercising so I feel better about myself and am more motivated and energized in other areas of life. We had a great weekend watching General Conference and going to Kobe with Erin and Ryan and Alicia for Erin's birthday. It was pretty good. I enjoy spending time with family. Not much more to report on, school's over, tests are ahead and soon Liz will be the main bread winner in the family while I stay home and play video games! :) Just kidding. She is looking forward to being able to stay home more. Me, too.

Well, Liz is officially done with school, thanks to the help of her wonderful sisters and niece. She also finished second place in a state skills competition! Good job, Liz! Now she just needs to go pass the state boards and she will be officially licensed and ready for business. I got a job at Allstate and am studying to pass the Property and Casualty test, it will be a good second job so that we can have Liz stay home as much as possible. I am also considering taking the Phlebotomist course at the DATC as another stepping stone. Anyone want their blood drawn? :) I hope that everyone has a happy Easter and remembers the humble birth, great and selfless sacrifice and glorious resurrection of The Savior. What a great privilege and gift, to have such a wonderful tool for happiness at our fingertips. It has always been there and always will be there if we will be humble enough to use it and take part in the great atonement of Jesus Christ. Heaven knows I need it, so doe...

Well, it's been a little while. Things have been busy. Moving in with the parents, doctors appointments, work! Wow. Well, Brinley is talking more and learning more, which is good and bad. Liz won first place in region for SkillsUSA and is going to state. She is such a wonderful person, I don't deserve to have such a wonderful, caring wife. I'm looking for a second job so that we can pay off some debt and start saving a little more. I just got a calling to be a Sunday School teacher, again. I'm excited for May 13th, it's our fourth anniversary and we will get to go do Justin's temple work. It's hard to believe it's been almost a year, but I guess time flies when you're trying not to pay attention. We've decided on the name Wyatt Jaymes for our little boy who will be born in July. I know that's a really summarized version of what's going on, but my back hurts and I can't sit still for very long. But, I promise next time, fo...

February is a really busy month for our family. My birthday is the 3rd , my uncle's is the third, Kent's is the 6th, Liz's niece is the 6th, her nephews is the 16th, my Mom's is the 15th and her Dad's is the 19th!!!! Crazy. Then there's Valentine's Day thrown in, the wonderful holiday made by and for candy makers. Plus the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. It's a busy month. But it's fun. We found out that we're having a baby boy, but don't have any names yet. Erin, Liz's sister, is still set on us having all girls. Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you can gather that a lot has happened since October. Liz is pregnant and expecting around the 11th of July, we've moved from South Weber into my parents house for a while and Brinley keeps learning and surprising us more and more. We have set some goals for ourselves and have some good expectations for the next few months. Liz is almost done with school, so if any of you ladies our there would like to have an amazing set of nails done by the most talented Nail Tech in Davis County, let me know. She won first place in a competition at school and her instructor wants her to go to the State and National Skills Competition. Everyone is in good health and we are happy to have jobs and make all the payments we need to. Thanks to everyone who has helped us in our time of need.

Well, we still can't find the cords for the camera. Some day we'll get some pictures on here. California was a lot of fun, being able to go with family and have a good time. Things back home have been busy as ever. Work never slows down, time never stands still and I never stop having fun. We put an offer on a house down in Layton, it's a short sale so we're hoping the bank will be willing to forgive a lot and we'll get a great deal. It has the perfect set-up for Liz to put a solon downstairs and start working from home. It's also big enough to have a large family, so we won't need to move for quite some time. We're just waiting and praying now, so we'll keep you posted. On another note, I've got a couple of ideas on some books to write and how I can do it. I just need to learn how to write a book! One or two children's, one novel and one or two religious. Who knows, some of them might get published and make a little money.

Well, there are a lot of questions and situations in life that require a lot of prayer and thought. What job to take, is that the right place to live, whom should I ask to do this or that and other various and sundry choices and decisions to make. I am just glad that there are people here on this Earth and not on this Earth that know more than me and are far wiser. Parents, older friends and siblings, church and civic leaders and many more. But the most important one that I know now more than ever that is the most understanding and the most reliable is our Father in Heaven. It's extremely comforting to know that He is there and that I have the Gift of the Holy Ghost so that I can hear and feel him. And there is no greater comfort for mental, physical, emotional and spirtiual pain than relying on the blessing of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. By him and through him and of him we can all find the peace and comfort we all crave as imperfect human beings. To know that the mista...
