Let Them Be Little
Shelby says a handful of things incorrectly, but I just don't have the heart to correct her...plus it is so darn cute. So, in an effort to remember a couple of these cute moments in time forever, I'll share them with you.
Naked ----> Naykin "Look Daddy, I am naykin!"
Throat ---> Thrope "Mom, I think my thrope hurts."
Whip Cream --> Whoop Cream "Can I please have whoop cream on my finger."
I know she has others, but these are the ones that come to mind. Just adorable. I remember my brother Brent calling Salad, Salit when he was little.

Uncle Moosey
We've been fortunate to have a ton of awesome visitors this year, one being my little brother Alex, or as Shelby started calling him, Uncle Moosey. Alex arrived on Thursday night and stayed through Sunday evening. His main objective was to spend time with Shelby and he did a great job at that! On Friday he took a bold move and opted to stay home with her all day, rather than sending her to school. I was pretty impressed with that choice for a 26 year old especially!
They were best friends. Over the course of the weekend, they built forts, played doctor, rode trains, went to the park, "did science" (aka baking soda and vinegar) and even did some Easter crafts.
One of the nights I had a sitter come over so me, Jack and Alex could go out for a few hours. We had an awesome time. We went down to the Strip (which we never do!) and played around, rode the High Roller observation wheel, and tried White Castle for the first and last time.

Easter 2015
We had an absolutely fantastic, yet mellow, Easter - just the way I wanted it! We started it off by letting Shelby and her legendary bed head find her Easter basket. Per usual, she was most thrilled about the chocolate - can you really blame her?
At 10 a.m., we went over to our friends' house for brunch. Kristi prepared a very yummy meal for all of us. This is the only photo that I grabbed of Shelby in her Easter dress, but you get the point - it was darling. Little Easton was a perfect angel and fulfilled his role as the heart-breaker for all the guests.
We finished the morning by dying Easter eggs. Is it me, or do those Paz kits gets chintzier and chintzier? Shelby and Easton did not know the different though and had a great time. After the eggs and clean up, we went home and all three of us took a nap - a very rare (and amazing!!!!) occasion.

Meeting the Easter Bunny
After swim lessons (note the awesome hair) we returned the the pod for our annual kids' Easter event. Like usual - it was well done and well attended. We missed the egg hunt, but we met the Easter Bunny and Shelby twirled like a whirling dervish.
I love this photo of our dear friends the Liddles too!

First Swim Lesson
Swimming was a huge part of my childhood. Aside from time with my parents and siblings, some of my most fond memories of childhood are either from the pool or from the pool deck. With that in mind, you can imagine my excitement to get Shelby into her very first swim lesson.....although I cannot tell who was more excited - me or my fearless torpedo Shelby!
She wore her goggles in the car and then marched right up to the glass, hoping it was her turn.
Once in the pool she was fearless and in constant motion. She was a great listener and tried her best to do what was being asked of her. This class is focused on survival...holding breath, rolling over, getting out of the pool - things of that nature. Cheers to my little dolphin!

Letter From the Easter Bunny
The Easter Bunny (aka GMa) sent Shelby a brilliant, non-trackable letter and charm for Easter. I am not kidding, the night she got it, her mind was officially blown! She told me "The Easter Bunny Thinks I am Special." How sweet. Here is an image of the letter and "medal," as she calls it.
I did a quick interview with Shelby about the gift. I am not sure why it is so out of focus. I took this about a week after she opened it, but I am not kidding....she could hardly contain herself. Her mind was BLOWN!
