First Tooth

Shelby just cut her first tooth. She was not very happy about it, of course. She won't let you look at it though, she continuously plays with it with her tongue.

Shelby Christmas

Here are some fun photos of Shelby in her Christmas dress. She is getting to be so cute! She has so much fun. Sorry there's so many, I couldn't pick my favorite. It was really hard just picking 3 for our Christmas card.

Sleepy Shelby

This is Shelby sleeping after she cried all morning and I finally had to put her in her crib and ignore the crying. I think she definitely tired herself out. She looks exhausted. Poor little baby :(

Trip to the Top of the Mountain

We took a trip to the top of the mountains behind us a couple weeks ago, before it got too cold. There was an amazing view of Eagle Mountain as well as the Salt Lake valley.

Shelby's Surprise Eyes

I was taking pictures of Shelby and decided to use the red eye reduction flash, which flashes a bunch before it takes the photo. This is what her face looked like, it was so funny.

At the Park

Here we are at the park, I only brought Juno with me, two dogs and a baby by myself would have been suicide.


She's almost sitting on her own.

Juno was cold so she wanted to cuddle.

What a silly puppy.

The sun is going down way too early now. I'm not quite ready for winter.

Halloween

Shelby was a teddy bear for Halloween. She really didn't like the costume, I think it was the hood. But she looked pretty cute in it.

Shelby's Jumperoo

We got Shelby a jumperoo and she thinks its the best thing ever! She is so cute in it. The video is slightly dark, but you can see how much fun she's having.

New Puppy

So we got a new puppy on Friday. She's a great dane, so she'll be huge. Tyler found her on KSL and convinced me that he needed another puppy. So far she seems pretty smart and has a cute personality, she knows to potty outside if you take her out. She's already made herself at home. And Shelby seems to like her, she smiles every time she sees her.

We still haven't thought of a name and were thinking maybe Molly or Sydney. Let us know if you have any ideas. For now she's "puppy". (I hope it doesn't end up like that bird we had who was just called "birdie" because we never thought of a name for him)


She really likes Bently's bed, we'll have to get another one.


She's small now, but not for long.


Poor Bently, he doesn't share well, he horded all her toys next to him and underneath him.

Progress on Our Bathroom

This is the new home of the shower. Tyler hasn't grouted and we still need to paint the walls. Any suggestions on a color. I'm excited for it to be done! Finally a normal sized shower.

Shelby Gets Solid Food

So Shelby had her first taste of solid food. The first time she didn't really like it but the second try she loved it. I had to make her two bowl-fulls, and she even wanted to hold the spoon herself. She is such a good eater. Yay!


She loves that spoon. What a big girl.


She wasn't too messy.

Our Bathroom

Tyler got got a little antsy this week being home for just a few days and decided it was time to do the tile in our bathroom. Hopefully it won't take very long, I really don't like being without a potty in our room.

So we decided to take out the teeny shower we had and just combine it with our tub so we will have more room. Tyler didn't fit well in the shower we had so it will now become a linen closet. We will have plenty of photos to show when it is done but here is what has been done so far.


The shower spot after it was ripped out.


The teeny tiny shower that no longer exists, yay!


Soon to be the new home of tile.


Tyler cutting out the shower, he'll tell you this was the most fun part.


Ripping up the carpet was much easier than I thought it would be, and kind of fun.

Millcreek Canyon

We went up Millcreek Canyon over Labor Day weekend, it was really pretty and surprisingly not too crowded.


Pretty little creek.


Look who's having fun with the cousins.


Sienna was having fun making her giggle.


Mackenzie wanted to touch her

Flowers in Our Yard

So I planted some flowers this year and some have grown well while others not so well. But I'm just happy that we have some color. I don't what all of them are but they are still pretty anyway. I planted some Canterbury bells but they died because Bently peed on them, stupid dog. They were really pretty while they lasted. maybe by a miracle they'll grow back next year.

Shelby @ 2 Months

Shelby is now two months. Things she has accomplished: smiling, squeling, sleeping 8 hours at night, discovered her hands, almost rolling over to her tummy, and many other things that I'm sure no one is interested in. But since she's the only little person I see all the time I have lots to report on her and be excited about. She is such a cutie. She likes everyone and always has a smile for everyone. It's super cute. By the way I think her eyes are going to be green, they are looking more green than blue. She's going to be so pretty.


She didn't like the bunny for very long.


Cutest smile


She's so photo genic


So cute...


Such a cute face.

Patio Work

Tyler has been collecting rocks from the mountains out where we live and he finally got enough to start a small patio in our back yard. Its not quite finished yet, but it's starting to look really nice.


What's been worked on so far.


Its starting to look nice.


Me helping (ha, ha notice the wheel barrel is empty)


Tyler hard at work putting the puzzle together.
