What has Shanna been up to lately?

Well I am on a roll today! Shanna Love. What a doll. Need I say more? :) She makes me laugh more every day. She is such a joy to be around and the things she comes up with on her own amaze me more and more every day. Bear with me as you look at the pictures because there are kind of a lot. But a picture says a thousand words right? And since words don't come to me as eloquently as they may to others. Well...Enjoy :)




Beloved Veggie Tales. Shes not into watching TV or movies much, but boy does she love the "sing along Veggie Tales". They are a bunch of silly songs all compiled together and she gets a kick out of them.



I frequently find (or trip over..whichever..) her little white chairs from her room strategically placed everywhere in the house and as this picture depicts she uses them for everything and anything. Turning off and on light switches is a favorite.




Now as you will notice in the next few pictures her baby dolls are everywhere. She is quite the little mother to her "babies". They eat with her...



They sleep with her...



And of course she has to carry them everywhere she goes as well! I don't know if you can tell but she has 2 babies and a couple of blankets in one arm and 2 baby doll bottles in the other hand. She is already experiences the need for more arms!!



She loves to watch us play the wii. Mainly Mario Kart. Oh, and of course she has to play as well...Or think shes playing anyway! ;)

Well...Thats Shanna. She is quite the character. We love her so much!

Playing Catch up

November 22nd a good friend of mine got married in the Oakland California temple. My mom and I went to California for a few days to be the "family" that accompanied him inside the temple since he is the only member in his family. My dad was supposed to go as well but he collapsed one of his lungs while playing racquetball a few days before we left and the doctor forbid flying. Lets see, what is that... Like number 5 injury in our family this year?!

Tyler and Natalia:






Now I just have to take a minute and explain these pictures because it totally shows Tyler's personality. He likes to be in control. This tree was crooked and half the lights didn't work so he just got rid of it :) He planned the majority of his wedding including colors, decor, and announcements.



Can't we all relate to this?! :)

My baby is 2!

December 5th, 2008 Shanna turned 2 years old! Can you believe it?! How the time has flown. I feel like shouting, STOP, SLOW DOWN. But that probably won't do much, right? :) It wouldn't hurt to try though, because my baby is growing so quickly and I don't know what I am going to do when she hits teen years....It terrifies me!



The guests...



Shanna was absolutely ecstatic this year to open up presents. She didn't need any clues, or reminders at all when it came to the "ripping open presents" part of the party :)



Children are so fun to watch when they get new things. Its my most favorite thing in the world! They are sincerely happy about it all!
