Disneyland 2011

We are back from our California vacation. It was so much fun! We flew out on Monday from Omaha with Mom, Dad, Jeremy and Hallie. It was nice to fly with so much family because it helped keep Shelby entertained for the almost 4 hours plane ride. After we got checked in to the hotel and after Shelby got a much needed nap we headed over to Disneyland. We got a text from our friends from Las Vegas that they were at Disneyland too. They had come down for the day to see us! So cool to visit with them for a little bit. Shelby's face when we walked into the park was priceless. She kept saying, "The Princess Castle". We spent 5 days at Disneyland. Shelby's favorite ride was the teacups. I think she went on those about 7 times. It was a fun vacation and we are so glad we got to go with family!

Small World ride with Grandma and Grandpa. Dad was very excited to take Shelby on this ride.



Hi... Sorry it has been awhile

Not a lot has been going on around the Swapp house. We are getting ready to go on VACATION!!!! So excited. I am headed to Utah for a work meeting next week and then the first week of May we are headed to CALIFORNIA!! We are having a family reunion/vacation on my side. My parents, my brother and sister and my aunt, uncle, cousins and grandma are all coming too. Will update when we get back! :)

Shelby is 2!!!!!

I cannot believe that Shelby is 2! So CRAZY!! We had a party at our place this year and had some of Shelby's nursery friends and their families over. Mom and dad were also able to come up for the weekend. We had a Dora the Explorer theme. Mom and James were put in charge of decorating the cake. They did a great job. Shelby had lots of fun with her friends while the adults got to visit.

We are so blessed to have Shelby in our lives. She is so fun and is learning so much. We are attempting to start potty training. She is doing amazing in nursery at church. She loves Temples and Jesus and we get to sing the Primary song I love to see the temple to her every night before she goes to sleep. We love you Shelby and are so greatful to be your parents!



Lincoln Children's Museum

Poor Shelby (and Mommy and Daddy) have been in our apartment too much because of it being too cold. We were looking for something fun to take Shelby to do that was in doors. Lincoln has this really cool Children's Museum. They have 3 levels of things for kids to do. They have cars for kids to drive, different areas like a vet, kitchen, doctor's office, newpaper office, mini airport and a ton of other areas for the kids to play. Shelby had a blast and we ended up getting a membership.



Christmas 2010

 We spent Christmas with my parents this year. Shelby of course was spoiled rotten. I guess she better get it in now, because my brother and sister will be having a baby when the time is right and then she will have some competition. James spoiled me rotten too.He of course waited until the last minute to go christmas shopping. My hubby is the complete opposite of me, I hate to wait until the last minute to do anything and he likes to wait. He did really good with my christmas presents. He made me cards that I can turn in for different things, like flowers, chocolates, me time, girls night and the best presents were getting my hair done and a day at the spa to get a pedi and facial. So excited! Now I just have to figure out when I want to get the spa day. My hair is so cute. James saw this women in the mall that had hair similar to mine and went up to her and asked where she got her hair done. He called and made the appointment and everything. The hair stylist did great and I will definitely being going back again. Here are some pictures from our Christmas. Enjoy!

My dad made this out of a pattern of a baby crib I had when I was a little girl. He did an amazing job!

Halloween 2010

We had a really fun Halloween this year. James was able to come down from Lincoln and we went to the Trunk or Treat at my parents ward. Shelby dressed up as a Goldfish and we used a Goldfish carton for her bucket. At first she wasn't sure what she was suppose to do but when she realized that when she put her bucket out and she got candy she was way excited. Shelby made out like a bandit and everyone loved her costume. Thanks mom for the idea and helping me get it done.
