Shelby's School Carnival

I love love love any opportunity to see Shelby at school, in her environment, with her friends. Her school recently sponsored a Halloween Carnival and fortunately, both Jack and I were able to make it! I even got there a little early to catch Shelby do some crafts with her friends :)

Our Happy Little Monster

Hard to believe 2014 marked Shelby's 3rd Halloween! She has taken an interest in monsters, dinos and other things that rrrrawwwrrr, so we thought there was no better costume than a pink monster. Pretty scary (cute!)  if you ask me!

A Liddle Baby Shower
 
I had the honor of hosting a baby shower for our good friends Kristi and Brian Liddle. It was a co-ed shower and it was just lovely. Our good friend Jennifer flew out from Texas to co-host it with me and we could not have not had a better time. Given that this was a week after G2E, we impressed ourselves with how quickly we were able to pull it all together! T minus 5 weeks until Baby Liddle is due to arrive!

Shelby Quotes

Shelby is constantly saying the most adorable, and sometimes hilarious things. Most of the time, I am simply wow'd by her vocabulary.

My favorte:
One day we were driving home from school and I notices Shelby had taken off her sock and shoes and lobber her foot off to the side of the car seat. I asked her what she was doing and she said "My foot in time out, not good listener."

Several days ago our neighbor's car alarm was sounding and it was quite loud. We wanted to make sure it was not one of our vehicles, so we opened the door and looked around. We spotted the culprit and closed the door. When we got back inside Shelby said "The car is bad boy. Too too noisy!"

Nearly every day I ask Shelby what her "lunch lady," Miss Sandra brings her for lunch. Yesterday she replied: Pepperoni Pita. What?! I had no idea she knew either of those words!

I think I have mentioned it before, but right before Shelby goes to sleep she tends to babble quite a bit. The other night she told me that she "Made an incident report because Matthew threw his apple in the trash. And then she called his mom."

Now, from the above it sounds like we just discipline all day, every day, but she will say the most sweet things too. Jack cam down stairs one weekend and asked for a hug. Shelby delivered the embrace and then said to him "You're beautiful Daddy."
