Shelby's Party

We had a good turn out for Shelby's Birthday party. Even her Great Grandpa Leroy and Great Grandma Norma from Billings came. She was hoping for her Grandma Terri, Aunt Tanya and cousin Shaylee to come also. We only had Mia here out of the cousins, but it was a fun time had by all. The cake came out well and didn't get messed up in the fridge, as my dreams seemed to be telling me last night. Shelby took a good nap, and Cheri and I went up to wake her up. Many people came early for the tour of the house, so that was nice.
She got many nice gifts (even a baby that pees-not what we wanted, but she likes it) That baby, however, makes 14!!!!! She is sitting at the table with her Crayola Colorwonder Color Paints that Aaron, Jodi and Mia gave her having a blast. She is pretty worn out though, as am I! The work that goes into a production like that is insane! She is a very happy 4 year old though & that is all that matters to me!

Strawberry Shortcake

Well, after 3 hours of pure agony and jamming to Sirius radio I finished the Strawberry Shortcake cake for Shelby Lynn's party. I wasn't quite sure what I thought of it at first, but once she saw it (she had been ice fishing all day with Daddy) that made me feel better. She said "holy cow" and Daddy even said I did a good job. Keep in mind though, that I have NEVER in my life decorated a cake of any sorts, so for a 1st it was good in my opinion!!
I will post another blog with pictures of the party!!
ENJOY!

4 years gone by already??

My Sweet Pea has officially turned 4 today (if you ask Daddy though, not until 10:07 tonight)
She is such a big girl...has the attitude too. It seems like just the other day we brought her home from the Hospital. They grow so very fast!!
While Papa and Grandma were here last weekend we had a Mini-Birthday party for her. If you look closely at Papa's fingernails you will get a surprise....he has become her Fingernail Polish King...every time she gets a chance to paint his finger and toe nails she does. Does a pretty good job too!! LOL Grandma and I tested out the cake decorating supplies (Shelby wants Strawberry Shortcake for her party on Sunday), so the cake was a "practice" one...Thank goodness. She opened presents from Papa and Grandma and Brad and I decided to give her the Dora bike we got her. She was with us when we got it, but we told her it was for her cousin Mia's cousin (she didn't get the correlation of her being Mia's cousin thank goodness). We hid it in a closet until Friday afternoon....all she could say was "Holy Smokes"
It was great! Then yesterday she took cupcakes to preschool to share. She was on top of the world all afternoon since they sang to her for her birthday--it was pretty cute. Then this AM she was thrilled to get a card from us shaped like a purse...such a Girl!!! LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELBY LYNN!!
