Shelby's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Shelby's birthday a few days after her actual birthday because we wanted our good friends and their kiddos to be there and they have crazy shifts. We couldn't really have the party at our house because we were ripping out some awful carpet and tile flooring in our bathroom so we thought guests wouldn't want to use the bathroom outside! Just trying to be thoughtful and all! Soooo, our wonderful friends, The Fishers, invited us to have the party at their place. They are so good to us. So here is Shelby, the princess, posing with Daddy and enjoying her special gifts from special family and friends.

Mother's Day 2010

I spent a great weekend with my family. On Friday, when I came home from work, I was handed my first Mother's Day gift from Harlan. Here it is:

For those of you that don't have the knack yet of reading "kid writing," it reads:

From Harlan

To Mom and Dad

It is lax Day (meaning "it is relax day")

I asked him if I could use this for Saturday instead of Friday since I just got home from a long day at work and wanted to start over on the relaxing stuff. He thought that was a pretty good idea.

On Saturday, Harlan and Daddy went fishing on the boat with our pastor and Shelby and I spent the day shopping and going to an event at the park with the Fisher Family.

On Sunday, Rich had to work but the day was so relaxing while the kids and I watched movies all afternoon! Harlan has now started a tradition and Mother's Day is now "Movie and Mother's Day." I'm looking forward to that for years to come.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone.
