WHEW!!! That is a lot of stuff and it all has kept us very busy! September started off busy and it seems we haven't stopped. Shelby started preschool at our church for her 2nd year and really enjoys it. She looks so big this year walking in w/her bag and I have to ask for goodbye hugs & kisses. She immediately goes to the table & starts doing puzzles, not missin' me too much. I'm happy she likes preschool so much, but it also makes me really sad as I realize how much my sweet girl is growing and no longer a baby. :( They forget to tell you this part in the books!! We also went to Oktoberfest in downtown McKinney in Sept., which is goofy because it's Sept. and not Oct. But oh well....we had a lot of fun, enjoyed some good sauerkraut and a good beer. They had lots of neat stuff for kids, pony rides, petting zoo and other things. She rode a horse & didn't need Dad to hold her, she was a big girl she told him. She loved petting the animals, thought that was really fun. Football has become our regular thing on Saturdays, we have taught Shelby well. :) She tells us "College GameDay is on!" and that's how we start our Sat. mornings....she will root for Offense or Defense, whichever she hears us cheer for, which I find funny. She even learned how to do the downward hook'em horns against our rival TX. In Oct. we took Shelby & Abby to Six Flags. Uncle Russ was in town to visit his friends f/New Mexico and we joined them for some rides. It was a lot of fun, the girls did really well...A LOT better than I expected....was preparing myself to carry them, figured they would get too tired...but they didn't, they walked the whole time and had really good attitudes. We found out that Shelby was a little thrill seeker as she went on several rides. The only one she didn't like was a little roller coaster that Drew took her on...and she was asking us "Why do the people raise their hands?" Then the next week we got to visit with Aunty Meena & Zara from Puerto Rico! SO fun!! We took the girls to a Pumpkin Patch in hopes of getting some really cute pictures.....well, proved harder than expected. They were just so distracted and not wanting to sit still, but we did manage to get a few. We also enjoyed a surprise visit from Grandma & Grandpa Bomar in Oct. We finally had some gorgeous sunshine after all the rain and were able to go to the park, feed the ducks and enjoy being outside. It was a nice visit & Shelby sure missed them later that week after they had left. She keeps telling us we need to go on a plane to California for a visit.
Right around Shelby's birthday she fell in love with everything Princess. Whenever we go to Target, Toys R Us, Kohls or any other store that has anything Princess, she just goes nuts over it. Drew & I were quite perplexed by this seeing as she had not ever seen a Princess movie or knew anything about them. We have come to the conclusion that it is a "girl thing" as many of my friends w/girls have had similar experiences. So, these days she loves to build castles w/her mega blocks and put her princess figures in it, loves dressing up like a princess and wearing her crown and loves to do princess stickers. One thing she did notice was that every princess story ends with "They lived happily ever after."...she has asked both Drew & I why the story ends that way. Tough to explain, but we just told her they want to end the story on a happy note.
Below are some pics from the past couple of months...I'll write a more current update soon. I actually wrote this several weeks ago & just never got around to posting it.
Our little Princess...the funny thing is this is 2 outfits that she likes to wear as one. Nana got her these and wearing just one was not enough....the bottom is a skirt and she likes to wear it under the top dress to make it "more poofy". 
Boomer Sooner!! Of course didn't help us this season, oh well!
1st day of Preschool ~ such a big girl!!
Ridin' a pony @ Oktoberfest...she really enjoyed this!
Pettin' the animals w/Daddy. (I was really quite glad he did that instead of me!)
Arriving @ Six Flags ~ very excited!!!
1st ride, drivin' a truck!
Teacups! Funny story on this....so, Drew & I climbed in w/each girl and we were thinking, "Man these seats are a little tight!" Then the operator comes by and tells us we can't ride on this, it's just for the kids. We felt so embarrassed and quite annoyed that she had not told us this BEFORE we'd gotten in & buckled up.
Drew & Shelby in the ferris wheel...so cute that they looked like hot air balloons.
Can't see Shelby, but that's Drew in the last car that they were in. I could not believe she went on this!! Of course afterwards I think she wished she hadn't.
Last ride!!
Leaving the park, still happy kids!!
And then they were OUT! I think Abby fell asleep before we were even out of the parking lot...Shelby took a little longer. But they were 2 tired little girls.
