Shelby is 5!

Shelby turned 5 on May 20th. She has been counting down the days since she turned 4 1/2. Her parents and both sets of grandparents spoiled her with a trampoline which she jumps on any chance she gets. Ten little girls came over to help her celebrate her birthday with a baking/Hello Kitty theme.



Here are some facts about our 5 year old plus some pictures from her party:

2. She knows all her letters and numbers and is even beginning to read some words.
3. Her favorite game is tic tac toe. She will even play it with herself. Shelb likes to also play games on the computer and her leapster.
4. She wears size 6 clothing because she is tall girl. Dresses and cowboy boots are still her favorite.
5. She is still growing her hair out like Rapunzels. And still won't let me do anything with it.

8. Loves to drink chocolate milk, is still picky about eating her vegetables and would eat macaroni and cheese at every meal if you let her.
