Macy's HALF birthday!

well, i know i'm a little late posting these 'birthday' pictures BUT hey, better than never. Macy turned a year and a half Aug. 8. Scott and I can not believe how grown up she is getting! she truly is a joy.
Scott and I got Macy a betta fish for her birthday --- we went to the store and she picked it out and everything! she loves animals and as of right now the fish is in our dining room and everytime she walks in that room - she just automatically shouts "FISH"...as if saying hello to her little friend!

Waco + water = FUN

One of the great things about Waco are the FREE sprinkler parks throughout the city....Macy loves them! these few pictures do not do it justice. Macy just claps and yells with delight the entire time shes there. Macy also does the cutest things when she is really excited...she puts her arms behind her back "like shes wearing a cape" and runs around making "happy noises" ....you know she is having fun when the 'cape' comes out!
I love watching her experience new things. Figuring out how the water works? how it feels? etc....
This particular day at the sprinkler park there were alot of other kids playing. I love the picture of her in the midst of the crowd - definitly not afraid to make new friends and be around strangers! ....we got an an adventerous one folks!

Don't you wish we could all enjoy cupcakes this much??

Yesterday we found out that our second child is a BOY! Lincoln Shelton! We are extremely excited. Here are a few pictures.

This is a picture of Lincoln's penis. Hopefully this is the only time it will ever be on the Internet.

Lincoln chillin'

Full body shot. I (Scott) asked the lady to take this picture. I'll let you guess why.

Let me explain...

Macy and I have been hangin' out all day. Lets just say ---- she is developing into such the climbing/explorer....
One of Macy's new things is sitting where ever scott or I are sitting. For example: the couch is the main spot. Macy and I were sitting on the couch watching scott cut the grass out the window. This little "mini story" turned funny real quick....
She decided that she wasn't content sitting/standing on the couch - she had to climb over the couch and stand on the window ledge and bang on the window.....keep in mind that macy is till a little chunky in the thigh area and barely fit! So, of course after a few minutes she discovered that she was stuck and got a little nervous....
A couple of other things to notice in the photo: the pink headband/sweatband we've been sportin' for a few hours! the crazy obnixous necklace around her neck...with a giant plastic highheel shoe attached! and our 'out of control' hair thats everywhere! ...and token runny nose! =)
Macy is SO FUN! this age is a blast!

Macy is the next brainchild!

She is learning so much so quick! ....becoming such a BIG girl. walking/running everywhere she goes, "talking" constantly ( mostly in her own "very intelligent" language) eating only big people food, learning concepts like crazy (i.e. in and out, etc) BUT this next example , my friends, is what truly sets her apart from the others as an "amazing brainiac genius"
Just the other day - macy and i are trying to head out the door to run some errands....this somehow almost always promotes some sort of chaos! So, I say to macy "Go get your pink sandles from your room..." A few minutes later she emerges from her room with both her pink crocs in her hands! come'on people thats pretty darn amazing!!! ...we're only 15 months old!
...when macy makes millions by reciting all the Presidents backwards here next week - we'll show all ya'll! =)

...its been FOREVER - i know!

Here are a few recent photos of MACY JOY. She is ALL over the place....and getting into everything! this is a real fun stage.
(sidenote: i'm still having drama uploading my vertical photos onto blogger-and them staying vertical.....therefore, while these photos are cute the BEST are upright.....so just use your imagination! =) she is precious.



Macy loves to play in peyton's crate AND with peyton's water bowl....we've had to change wet clothes MANY times!


I wanted to take bluebonnet pictures this year just like last year (same 'outfits' and everything) I didn't think it all the way through....last time MJ was about 3 months-this time around all she wanted to do was run around the field! Needlesstosay, our "family photos" in the bluebonnets are of scott and I smiling and Macy trying with all her might to get out of our lap!! =)


Jello anyone?


Daddy attacked macy with her hair bows and clips...it was really precious - scott and macy sat on the kitchen floor for about 20 minutes playing with bows! i couldn't believe she let him put ALL those clips in her hair!
