July....it's almost over

Shelby is 16 months now...almost 17 months....where does the time go. My little girl is no longer a baby, she insists she is a big girl and has to have everything her big brother does (drinking out of a pop can, silverware, cups with no lids, sitting on the potty, etc). It is interesting to see how independent she is.

Jayden will be starting preschool again soon, man oh man...that means my little man starts kindergarten next year. He is so smart and so strong willed...what a scary combination. :) That little man knows how to drive a car, 4-wheeler, tractor, skid-loader, lawnmower, etc already....WOW!! I guess that means no more keys left in anything.

Mike is officially done with school and trying to figure out what he would like to do when he gets bigger. :) I think before long we will be back into farming...not quite sure how I feel about that, but whatever makes him happy is fine.

I'm just working away and planning the wedding. I can't believe that the wedding is only 33 days away. It seems like just yesterday I had 6 months left to plan and now I need to have my dress into the shop in 2 weeks with alterations done, the food completely ordered, get my rings sodered, called the pastor today, and confirmed with the flower shop....man what a list, but oh so much fun. I would love to do this for a living.

All in all, we are all doing well. Enjoying the summer as much as we can. Hope all is well with everyone else.

Where to start...it has been a while.

Well Shelby has grown lots since I was last on here. She started walking at about 11 months old and is now almost in a run. She is so cute as she is so short it doesn't look like she should be walking. :) At her 1 year appointment she weighed 20 lbs and is 28 1/4 inches long...which means she's only in the 25%...big difference from her brother. Shelby likes to yell at her brother, although we can't yet figure out what she is saying. They just squeal and squeal at each other...it is so cute to see them actually play. She does however say Dada, momma, and Ut-Oh. LOL

Jayden is getting bigger and bigger every day also. When he was in last, he was 41 1/2 inches tall and 40 lbs. He is in the 90% percentile for all of his measurements. When we brought him to his preschool screening, they told us he has the vocabulary and annunciation of an 8-11 year old....Very proud momma & poppa. Now if he would just comply with the laws of nature and decide to use the toilet 100% of the time instead of his pants 50% of the time we would be doing great. I think Shelby will be potty trained before him. Actually Shelby sat on the little potty the other day and went pee....NOT JOKING!! I sat her on there just to get her used to the idea and she sat there and went pee and then stood up and walked away like she knew that's what she was supposed to do. LOL!!

Time flies when your having fun....

WOW I guess it has been quite a while since I have updated this. Shelby is no 10 months old and crawling and terrorizing everything. She is my little monster. I don't think she is going to be a girly girly...she already loves the roar of trucks and pushes them around the floor on her knees. hehehe Jayden is oh so busy, he still goes to school two half days a week and is full of energy. We have again reverted back to potty training (I seriously am going to pull my hair out soon).

Other than that everyone is good. Just planning the wedding, playing with the kiddos and working. Hope to see everyone soon.
