Uncle Brent
My younger brother Brent recently came to visit for a long weekend. I sent him Shelby's tumbling video one day and as soon as he saw how much she had grown, he was on the next plane! Shelby had a little bit of a cold while he was here, but it did not stop them from having a great time. We all went out to the new basketball courts in our neighborhood and Shelby got a personal lesson in the art of dribbling as basketball. From there, we were across the street to the "new park," where Shelby and Brent enjoyed the swings together.

Tumbling
We recently put Shelby in a once-a-week tumbling class at her school! A gymnastic company comes to her school, sets up a room and the kids enjoy a 45 minute class. Here is my post first day interview with Shelby. When I picked her up from school she was BEAMING with excitement and could not wait to tell me all about it! You think she liked it?!

Quack
I very vividly remember going to the park to feed the ducks with my mom and brothers. I took Shelby once before and she wasn't that into it....but this time she LOVED it and the day could not have been more gorgeous! The larger Geese eventually waddled up to us and were actively trying to get fed, so I finally had to pick Shelby up. Those guys can get ornery. We had a great time. My pics are not the best - I was terrified Shelby would end up in the lake!

Disney on Ice
I took Shelby on a lovely "date" to Disney on ICE. Her favorite part (by far!!) was the routine that featured the cast of Toy Story. We got into the Disney spirit and wore minnie/mickey attire. I love these sweet moments with my daughter. When the music started, I think Shelby was almost frieghtned and I was almost overcome with emotion thinking that I have a daughter old enough to take in such a spectacle. I digress....love you Shelby Clare!

New Additions
No, no annoucnement of a baby on the way, but instead - we purchased some new additions for our home! A Roomba, a Ninja and a Kitchen!
Roomba! Cleaning the floors is without question, my least favorite chore around the house. As such, Jack does 80 percent of the floor cleaning....maybe more! When I found out IGT would be paying annual bonuses, I promised Jack that I would buy us a Roomba. If you're not familiar, it's basically a robot vacuum that auto-cleans floors while we're gone. Pretty much amazing! Seriously, as a working mom, can you think of anything better?!
Ninja! We have gone nearly a year without a blender. The motor on our previous one burnt out a while back, so this is a welcomed addition - the Ninja Blender. Salsa, shakes and more - here we come!
Kitchen!
We try not to make our house look like one big playroom, but I found this gem and had to pick it up. Shelby's imagination is growing like a wildfire, so I encourage anything that fuels that flame. It was $25, brand new. That is the same price as taking the family out to lunch. Needless to say, Shelby loves it!
