GRASS!

Yay! Our backyard finally has grass. I'm so excited that we don't have to look the dirt, rocks, and weeds anymore. Now all we need to do is get some bark for the beds and prep the garden area.

Shelby's Walking!

It's been a long time coming, but now the dreaded day is here. She went from taking a few steps to walking all over the house in a about a day or two.

New Cement

We had some extra cement and Tyler finally got around to using it (He's been super busy with work). So, we used in the front to add to the entrance of our house, it's so much better, we now have more room to walk around.


As you can see, Shelby is enjoying it


She loves getting wet!

Swim Time

We got Shelby a little swimming pool for her birthday and she has really enjoyed playing in it.


What a grouchy face


Now we're having fun

Yard Fun :)

Our rocks are finally in and now we can finally finish putting in the sprinklers and get some grass!!!


Use Juno as a comparison of how big the rocks are


There's not only a bunch of large rocks, but we have tons of small rocks we need to get rid of, or cover up.


You can kind of see the stairs in the middle

The Whole Family

Sorry guys, should have posted this a while ago (oops...). All the bro's and sis's together. How fun was that!

Father's Day

It was such a nice on Father's Day, I think we spent most the day outside. We went to the park and Shelby found a little girl that she just loved. The little girl wanted to come up and see Shelby and Shelby couldn't get enough of her. She was hugging her and sitting on her lap it was too funny:) We'll definitely have to work on "stranger danger".


Juno on the lookout


She's so pretty

Alright, lets GO!

Shelby's ONE!!!

Shelby turned one last Tuesday, oh how time flies! But we've had so much raising her. She has the cutest personality! We love her so much! We think she's enjoyed the ride as much as we have.

Thanks to all who came to her birthday party. It wouldn't have been the same if you couldn't have come. It's nice to have so much family that cares about her! We know she is loved.


Not even a week old yet


My little bean face. Look how she's grown!
