Happy Birthday Lori!

It was such a beautiful day today. Although it was a little windy, we decided to go to the park to feed the ducks and take a bike ride. Morgan had a blast. These beautiful days have been few and far between so we have to take full advantage of them while we can. Tonight we went out to diner with the family to celebrate my sisters birthday. Not just any birthday, but the big 40! I can't believe that she is 40. It seems like yesterday she was turning 16 and getting her drivers license. I can remember how excited I was that now she could drive me round instead of my mom and dad. No longer did I have to ride the bus because now she could come pick me up. Now she is turning 40. She sure don't seem 40 to me. Maybe it's because 40 is the new 30! Anyway you look at it, Lori I hope you have a wonderful Birthday and may all you birthday wishes come true. Love you!

Pity Party For Me

I am still have mommy regrets over the broken nose. I don't know why I feel so bad about this. There was nothing that I could have done to prevent it, just blessed with a clumsy daughter. But because I was feeling so guilty I decided to treat Morgan to a Build A Bear and to lunch at her favorite resturant The Rain Forest Cafe. I don't know if it made her feel any better, but it sure did make me feel better seeing the beautiful smile on her face al day. Love you Morgan!

My beautiful baby girl. Love that smile.


Nothing like an icee to do the trick!

The Next Day

Well this is how the nose looks today. Not a pretty sight. Still really sore. I am just glad that we didn't wake up with two black eyes. To make her feel a little better, paw paw came by with Hannah to cheer her up. I think it did the trick.

Day two of the broken nose

Broken Bone #2!

Well today was NOT a good day. I worked a half day today so after picking up Morgan we decided to make a stop at Target. MISTAKE!!!! While walking into the store heading to the bathroom I caught Morgan tripping on the floor mat and hitting the floor out of the corner of my eye. It was one of those moments that you see but just can't do anything about it. As I turned to her, she stood up and I could tell right away that something was not right. I see that her nose did not look right. Then came the scream. A scream like I have never heard before. Then came the blood. I'm not talking a little, I am talking ALOT! I grabbed her and we ran to the bathroom. I knew right then that it was broken. I grabbed a handful of paper towels and we ran for the door. Thank goodness my pediatrian is just across the street. We ran in there and as I thought, it is broke. Thank goodness it was a clean brake so he would not have to set it. We left with and ice pack and orders to keep ice on it for swelling and give Tylenol for pain. So we headed home with my heart broken because I know that it hurts her and I hate when my baby hurts. The worst part of this whole thing is that I have no clue what is was that I was going to Target for. Oh well.

There's a New Dog in Town

Paw paw stopped by today to show us the new addition to the Shellito family. He got a new dog and her name is Hannah. Morgan thinks that she is the best thing ever. She cried for 30 minutes non stop once paw paw left. I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more of Hannah.

A Bear To Build

I have been so busy getting things settled from the holidays that I feel like I have not spent that much time with Morgan so today we had a mommy and me day. I took her to Build A Bear and to the Rain Forest Cafe. We had a great time. I love spending the day shopping with her.

Hot stuff!

It Snowed Mom!!!

This morning I was awoken by Morgan yelling, "Mom it snowed, it snowed!" Needless to say we got up and headed out to play in the snow for awhile. Not as much as our last snow storm by still enough to have a good snow ball fight, and make soe good snow angels. Emma, to say the least, was not a big fan. She had much rather stay inside. We had a great time playing in the snow and I was so glad that I for once did not have to drive to work in it. That made it even more enjoyable!

Perfect!

The Gator Farm

Stephen has a good friend, Dave, that took us out to eat to a place we have never been before. It was a gator farm in Grand Saline, Texas. It was pretty neat. They have so big gators and lots of other animals for the kids to look at. Dave's dog, Cash Money, even came along. It was a great time for all. Next time we are going to come during the day where we can see the animals better. Thanks Dave for a fun time!

Just Scooting Along

It was such a beautiful day today, so I took Morgan to the park so she could try out her new scooter that she got for Christmas. She loved it! I was a nervous wreck because I forgot her helmet at home and I was so afraid that she was going to fall. But we left accident free. Thank you Lord!

A Day of Returns

Today me and Morgan had a full day of making Christmas returns. First stop was the Bass Pro Shops at Grapevine. Morgan just had to have her picture taken with the buffalo. Since we were all the way over in Grapevine we had to stop by Grapevine Mills Mall to eat at our favorite place on earth, Rain Forest Cafe. And we couldn't go to the mall without riding the carousel. Needless to say we did not accomplish much on the return list, but at least we had a great day of shopping and a wonderful lunch. There is always next week!

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year everyone! It is going to be a wonderful year. 2011 is going to be filled with lots of new adventures. Morgan will be starting school and we have two wonderful trips planned. I think 2011 is going to be a great year. We started out the year by going out to the cemetery to take a final look at this years grave blanketat Shelbie's before we took this years ornaments off. She got some really cute ones this year. Can't wait to put them on our tree next year. So to all my family and friends, here's to a great and wonderful New Year! Love you all.
