wow!

ok, so it has been awhile since the last time i posted a blog! sorry about that! we have actually been kinda busy around here. last wednesday the whole family went out for a fun play day at the mall. Ireland loves to play at the playplace... chloe doesn't really care where she is. I get to take Ireland to the mall pretty often to play, but daddy doesn't usually get to come. so it was a special treat to have him come too. Ireland loved showing off for him and showing all the fun stuff she can do there by herself!
Then on Friday we took a little vacation to Texas for a few days. We really wanted to show off the van! So we went down to Uncle Lawrence and Aunt Kelly's and Gran's house. We had lots of fun! It was AWESOME to travel in the van! soooo much nicer than the saturn... we actually had room for our suitcases! The girls did great on the road (they always do). slept and played the whole time!
We did really enjoy ourselves in Texas. Ireland loved to play with Connor. they get along so good! Connor doesn't mind her tagging along! Uncle Danny came up from Austin on sunday to say hi and ireland loved that! she loves her Uncle Danny lots!!
Aunt Kelly and Uncle Lawrence got a new puppy for Christmas, LillyBell. Ireland had a lot of fun with her. she wasn't too sure sometimes when LillyBell got crazy, but she still liked her. Chloe really wanted to play with the puppy all the time... but she was a little to rough for LillyBell... she liked to grab the puppy's face a lot! and it was next to impossible to keep the dog toys out of Chloe's mouth! i think she liked them more than LillyBell!
we got home on Monday night. it was a real nice vacation.
Chris went back to work on tuesday... but he was there about 30 minutes and they sent him home for the day. i took this opportunity to go to the grocery store. so chris was at home in charge of both the girls. not something to worry about.... but this time they had lots of fun while i was gone... when i got home i noticed that Ireland had gotten something in her hair... it was sticking up all funny and kind of hard. so i asked daddy what happened and all he said was, "Go look on the video camera..." so, i did... and i found some very funny stuff.
Chris thought Ireland would enjoy playing with some shavingcream! and she sure did! oh the fun things you do with daddy!
so, that has been the last week and a half for the Shellaby's! pretty busy and fun!

I love it! I love the shaving cream picture...that was one of my favorite things to do at the daycare with the kids. I am sure she had a blast! Chloe is just as cute as ever, too!

Kimmi, I love this blogspot thing, I really need to create my own. It is nice to know that you and Chris are doing so well. I am really happy for you guys. I never really pictured Chris driving a MINIVAN! Ha ha! but it is good for a laugh. Ireland really favors you, she has your looks. Chloe is a little cutie too! Next time you all come to visit in Texas, give Zowie and I a call. We would really love to hang out and meet the girls. I bet little Z and Chloe would get along great. Keep safe and warm.

That pic of Chloe makes her look so old and grown up. I miss them so much. See you all in a little over a week!!!!
