Sick Days

LM is sick. Can't you tell? Yeah, neither could we! The wonderful Aunt Lissa noticed Monday that LM had a fever after she came to her complaining about her "eye" which was actually her ear. We took her to the doctor and she has strep, ear infections in both ears and ASTHMA?! crazy. Ryan started to feel bad last night and went in this morning. He now has strep. So, STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THE SHELTON HOUSE!!! Say a little prayer that these two sick puppies get to feeling better soon.

PFE Diaper Pounding

We were blessed with a diaper pounding at my school on Monday. Each grade level brought their grade equivalent in diapers (ie... 1st grade brought Size 1).

Playdate at the Burdette's House

Lucy McLean, Aunt Mu Mu, Ella and I took a trip up to the Burdette's house for a playdate Saturday morning. The girls were hilarious. Ella Burdette says LM's name so clearly (have to admit I am a little jealous about that). Ella also showed off her potty skills. LM proceeded to show off her wiping skills...aghh.

She then showed how she can potty like a big girl
Sweet Ella Burdette!

Thanks Mandi and Ella for a wonderful time. We miss our playgroup something fierce and can't wait until I have the summer off.

Guess who turns another year older today?

MY AUNT ANNA!!!

Here are a few pictures of her over the years...

The big wedding day!

Aunt Anna & Uncle JasonNoah's christening...I was in my mama's tummy (can ya tell?!)

The Cranfords at the beach this summer! Baby Tucker was in Aunt Anna's tummy!

Dear Aunt Anna,

I hope that you have a fabulous birthday. I can't wait to see you again!

Love you!

Mullet Man

Benjer came over to the Shelton Barbershop tonight for a major makeover. He came in looking like this...

In the meantime, he and Ryan thought this would be funny.

Forgot to get an aftershot. Don't worry...Ryan wouldn't let someone actually walk out of the house like this. Benjer looks very handsome now with his new "grown up" hairstyle!

P.S. Lucy McLean certainly misses the mop. She thought Benjer was hilarious with his mop on his head.

Living with a Toddler

My mom has always told me that, as a child, I did anything to make people laugh. I guess that has passed on to Lucy McLean. She is hilarious! This was our morning.

Cheese...ready to go to Aunt Lissa's house!

She had to get her fake Coach bag ready!

And these are thanks to Aunt Lissa. Awhile back, my mom thought it would be funny to buy LM some tacky princess light up tennis shoes. Now she has to take them to Lissa's every day because she actually keeps them on. Monday, Lissa thought it would be funny to sneak some tacky princess crocks into LM's bag. This morning, LM threw a fit to wear her "tacky cocks". Who is going to fight that?
And on another note.... guess what LM has learned to do?
CLIMB OUT OF HER CRIB! This is how I found her from her nap the other day. She had thrown everything out and was sitting on the floor with everything.

HAPPY THURSDAY!!!

Sweet Lila!

We were blessed with the opportunity to go to Alabama for Lila's birthday party this weekend. The Brands were gracious to allow us to stay in their BEAUTIFUL home. Here are pictures from the festivities.

Lila Bug...how precious is she?

LM...probably looking for Lila. Anytime she went out of the room, LM was on a hunt for "LILA...LILA"

Griffin

Casey and LM really hit it off!

Lila and her Daddy (Josh)...I know...he can hardly claim her right?!

An attempt at a girls shot. There were no good ones. At least LM has learned to "Cheese"!

Miss Lila,

We were so happy to share your special day with you. You are such a cutie patootie and we love you more than you know. We wish we were closer and could love on you more. Can't wait to see you this summer!

Love,

Aunt Essie, Uncle Ryan & Lucy McLean
