Returned home from OKC

Shelby & I have returned from OKC where we've been the past few weeks visiting & helping care for Papa post knee replacement surgery. Shelby had a great time playing with Mason, they really seem to enjoy each other's company, chasing each other and spinning around being silly. She also loved spending time with Granny & checking in on Papa, sometimes going over and holding his hand (which he thought was very sweet). Dad is doing great with his recovery, so we headed back home this week. While we were there, Shelby had her 2nd birthday. I took her & Mason to a water park for some fun, and then on that Sat. we celebrated, opening presents & having some "Happy Birthday Cake" as Shelby would say. She really liked the cake this year, in fact ate all of Uncle Russ' piece so he had to get a whole new one! We thought she'd just scam a bite or two, but oh no, she ate the WHOLE thing by herself. Then she was on a sugar high for the next hour; needless to say we went to bed a bit later that night, but she went down easily, she was one tired little girl. We celebrated again this week with Daddy when we got home; he couldn't be in OK for her birthday, so darn we had do it again and have more cake. The sacrifices she'll make for us. :) We also had her 2-yr pictures made while we were there; Kellie has a friend who just opened her own studio. I've posted a ton of pictures to catch up, enjoy!!
Could someone tell Shelby to stop squeezing me so tight?!?!

Mason trying to push down the water; he was laughing so much!


Oh, I think water got all in my eye!!

After cousin John Matt's wedding ~ goldfish are a good bribe to be still. :)


Take a BIG bite!!


Hmmm, chocolate cake is yummy-yum!

Checkin' out my new chair from Granny ~ perfect for football watching!
