We celebrated Shelbyanne's birthday with family in Florida.

Then we celebrated her birthday with family in Alabama.

She will also have a Special Birthday dinner for her on her actual birthday. She is a blessed little girl. Thanks everyone for making her feel so special.

Shelbyanne is having a great summer. She is loving seeing our family and friends. Here are a few pictures of what she has been doing these last few weeks.

Shelbyanne has been doing great. She has been growing so much. I had a dream the other night that she was riding roller blades down the street. We're definitely not there yet, but she is starting to show us that she can be trusted to obey the boundaries we have set for her while she is playing outside without Mommy or Daddy there. She loves to be outside playing with friends or finding new bug friends. She is not afriad of any living creature. She caught a lizard and carried it around the whole time she was playing outside. Mommy didn't even want to touch it. 

We went to lunch at some friends from church's house, and Shelbyanne got to go to their farm with Daddy. She had a blast. She saw a calf that had been born that day, made new friends, rode a 4-wheeler, played by the pond, was able to pet some goats, and had beef jerky and coke. The coke she didn't like. She called it spicy. While she and Daddy were out playing Mommy and Emily were taking a nap and hanging out back at the house. Overall it was an excellent day.

Shelbyanne is such a good big sister. Emily and Shelbyanne were tired after dinner so they rested on the couch together while they watched Dora. 

Shelbyanne had a blast fishing with Daddy. She caught a fish, but was not interested in holding it, so Daddy didn't get a picture of her fish. Maybe next time. 

Mommy and Daddy were invited to a tea party with Shelbyanne's class last Friday. We had a great time making treats and eating them. Shelyanne wore the dress her Nana bought her for Easter. We had a great time. 

Shelbyanne had a great time at Emily's Birthday party. She loves to play on the gymnastics equipment. She is growing like a weed. She loves to pretend to be characters she sees on the shows we watch. She loves the Disney princesses and Little Bo Peep from our Cedarmont Kids videos. 

Here are a few photos of what her lately.

Shelbyanne loves to play with her friends. Today she invited her friend Dereck over on the walk home from class. They had fun together, although he really wanted to play with boy toys, and we had limited number of those. They had a good time anyways. 

Shelbyanne was standing on a ledge at HaHa Tonka. Here she was reflecting on the beautiful view. Not really. She was posing for mommy to take her picture. She is a cutie though!
