I realized that it has been awhile since you all have seen pics of Shelby. I have not done her 1 yr photo shoot yet, everytime I spend money Ben says "well that is less we get to spend at Disney" so I am holding off until we get back. But I did take these.

Taken today

And I erased the background on this one, added a new one & added the #1 with her name, worse case I print these out & used them as her 1 yr pic!

I have been living vicariously through some people on here since January. And we have decided our next trip will be in 2013, so I will have to live vicariously through others for 3 long years!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!!!!! I am SUPER excited!!!! No one EVER has my name & when they do spell my name, they spell it wrong!!!!!

I know!!! They always spell it "Joanie" or something like that and it drives me crazy!! This is so awesome!! And here's the really weird part...ever since I was little I have told my mom I if I have a daughter I am going to name her Shelby because of Steel Magnolias. Can you believe that?! Maybe we are soul sisters!

I went back and read everything and I must say, you have a beautiful family! I can pretty much guarantee that when all three of your children are seniors in high school they will get the senior superlative for "prettiest eyes" because they all have gorgeous eyes!

I can't wait to read more!

Thank you so much! Everytime we go anywhere someone always compliments Shelby's eyes. When the boys were babies they got it then too. 21 days!!!!

YES!! I love that commercial! I can't even imagine how excited you must be, because my trip is still 7 months away and it's already all I can think about!

OMG yes that picture is a MUST! And I'm sure that if you are crying in it then it will make me cry!!
