Visit From Uncle Moosey

My brother Alex, aka Moose, aka Uncle Moosey was wonderful and made a trip out to see us....or should I say the girls. Shelby was SO EXCITED and Moose was a great sport. I heard, "Moosey Moosey Moosey" all weekend long! It was very special to share my little gals with such a special guy. We love you Uncle Moosey!!

T is For Tennis

I enrolled Shelby is a little Tennis program run by the City of Henderson. I think she is more excited about her outfits and equiptment than the actual class, but it's still fun. As tall as she is for her age, she looks like a peanut in her class. The age range is 3-7 and she looks tiny in there, especially next to some of the older, husky boys. I am proud of her for trying something new though!!

Happy 70th Birthday Larry!

We had the pleasure of celebrating Larry's 70th birthday all together. Jack grilled some ah-mazzzzzing steaks and I managed to find a diabetic bakery with all sugar free desserts! Anita had Larry's friends and family from all over the country send birthday cards to our house, so he was greeted with a GIANT stack of suprise cards on his bithday. I think he was touched. A great memory for all!

 

Easter 2016

As Shelby gets older, holidays become more and more fun. Shelby was fascinated by the Easter Bunny. Does he watch us like Santa? What does he bring us? How does he get in the house? Is he magic?  Jack and I had to pull all kinds of answers out of the air! We were blessed to have a very beautiful day together. It was a lot of work to get food prepared and everyone out the door at a set time, but we managed. We went to our friend's - the Harper's - for a lovely afternoon. Jack's parents were there too, so they were able to enjoy "Baby's First Easter" too!

And as a bonus, we FINALLY got a picture of the four of us!

 Dying Easter Eggs 

Shelby had a great time dying Easter eggs. We ended up with several purple/brown eggs because she  quickly burned through her 12 eggs and instead of quitting, decided to keep dipping them in various colors....over and over. In my family, we used to play wiffle ball with the  left over eggs, but most of these went to waste, aside from the fun memory. Dad got in on the action too and made a fancy egg...of course!

Three Months!

My sweet little Sienna is three months new! Unlike the anniversary of her first and second month, this one was spent rushing to and from school and work. She is doing just great though. Sienna is truly sugar and spice and everything nice. We could not ask for more!

I love the bottom photo of Shelby and Sienna. Each morning, Shelby is the first face that Sienna sees and Shelby normally says, "Good morning my little bundle. Time to wake up!"

And for fun, here is Shelby at three months:
