Easter Fun!

We had a really fun Easter. Macy is really starting to walk more... she's been "walking" for a few weeks BUT not really toddlin' around until real recent ...and even that she does when she pleases - thank you very much. - she says.
the most memorable event happened on friday. my friend had told me that at Wal-mart on friday and saturday they were going to be taking free pictures with the easter bunny. i was pumped! b/c it was free - unlike the mall or other places AND i didn't know how mj would respond....and i didn't want to waste money! so, we show up (i'm expecting a line) i've already had to drag scott to just go in the store (he hates wal-mart) and we don't see anything. I talk to the manager - no bunny. they call back to the photo lab and then we're informed that its only saturday and sunday. I was confused BUT gave in thinking that i had just gotten the days confused. We're leaving "hell" as scott referes to it...and i see the huge poster on the wall saying "FREE PHOTO WITH THE EASTER BUNNY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY"......so ya'll know me. ---- gosh darnit, we're getting our picture! needlesstosay, i have to walk the photo lady up to the front to 'prove' to her i wasn't lying and show her the poster and she then tells me she's going to find someone to put on the suit. MJ, scott and i make our way back to the photo center (mind you, we've been here and hour at this point!) They 'supposidly' can't find someone to put the costume on - so naturally, i volunteer my husband! (who refuses) therefore, in my mind the only logically thing to do was to be the Easter Bunny myself! I put on the costume (don't think of where its been....) and we begin to walk down to the dairy section where the photo setup is located...
at this point random children are starting to mingle towards me....little kids are yelling and waving at me across the store...its amazing! macy is loving it - scott is dying laughing - i'm constantling moving around so kids don't form a line! finally, we just take our photo infront of the eggs b/c somehow the setup had gotten dumped (gotta love wal-mart) --- always and adventure.

Shelton's + last tuesday + church folks = VIP

lets just say that last tuesday scott and i were rubbin' elbows with the rich and famous! A guy at our church is on the board of directors for the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. He calls and tells us he as two extra tickets if we'd like to go......and we get to meet and take photos with the inductees. of course we said YES! ...i'll make the story quick --- we go to meet Mike Modano, Mia Hamm, Ray Childress, Michael Irvin, Spike Dykes, and a few others! AND Brett Hull was there to support his friend Modano (for those of you non hockey people --- brett hull is bobby hull son - both hall of fame hockey players!) a professional took our photos with all the people (and we don't have them yet) BUT here are the the photos we took with our own camera.
what fun to feel 'famous' for a night! =)

Macy is ONE!!

Scott and i took this picture of macy the day after her birthday....we're thinking she just wanted everyone to remember how old she is!? =)

to say that macy enjoyed her cake would be a HUGE understatement. she ate more than half of an eight inch cake --- and would have kept on eating if i hadn't taken it from her....BUT the really cute thing was...i took the cake away and she began to frantically sign "more" in sign language - in hopes that I'd bring it back!

thats my girl! --- if you're going to do something....go all in!

One of macy's favorite gifts was a new red wagon. These wagons are are really spruced up nowadays - with cup holders, seatbelts, a door and even storage under the seat! At her party all the babies took rides around the yard. This is macy with her cousin audrey...notice that they are both chewing on their 'victory medals' they had won earlier from the "Baby Race"

We can not believe that Macy is already one. Life without her is unimaginable.

keep checkin'

well, we do have 'internet' right now---but i've been trying for the past 3 days to post some pictures of macy's 1st birthday....and for whatever reason its not working like normal ---- BUT i'm on it. i'll try to get to the bottom of this soon.

TODAY IS A MARVELOUS DAY

I have been spending the last three or so weeks in the dark ages --- no internet! ..... I was talking to a few of my fellow Apple friends yesterday and they said " Have you tried getting a signal in your new house yet?" .....VICTORY
Scott and I are guessing that we're picking up the signal from our next door neighbor ---- but, do we even really care? WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD --- and its faster than our old house! needlesstosay, tonight sometime i'll post some pictures from macy's birthday party
....mj and i are off to Library Time.

a blog with no pictures?!

i know. i know. boring. BUT i promise blogs with pictures to be coming soon....
scott, macy and I moved into our new house last week and we are busy like dogs AND we don't have internet at the moment (i'm up at the church right now!) so, i'll try to come up here again soon and bring my camera with me. There is a lot happening in our world right now - new house with many projects and macy is turning one in two weeks!!! my goodness, its gone by fast!
continue to pray that our 'old' house in waco will sell soon.
blessings - sheltons

Macy's Kitchen is a HIT!

We are starting to prepare to move. And our friends, the Carney's & Fillinghams, came over the other night to 'hang out' one last time 'at our place' before we move....we ate, watched our babies play, laughed and played a game. FUN!
I love watching babies play together. Its amazing to watch and see how they interact, share and communicate. Noelle, Roy and Macy played really well with her kitchen --- one would cook on the range, the other would make sure the water faucet worked, while the other stocked the fridge!
Macy also helped josh load the dishwasher...one of her favorite things to do!
