Shelle Winter Olympics

A few weekends ago we all gathered at Nana & Papa's house for the Shelle winter Olympics. This involved riding in sleds being pulled behind the tractor and collecting flags. Snowboarding behind the tractor was going also going to be an event but proved to be way to hard - so we just built a fire and ate snacks instead.

Just for the record Aaron & I were the sled flag champions!!

Blog...what blog :)

As always sorry for the lack of blogging - my excuse this time is sleep deprivation. As most of you know Isaac is still getting up every 2-3 hours during the night so needless to say Aaron & I are really tired !

Other then being really tired things are going great for Team Shelle. February was Isaac's 6 month & Aiden's 2 1/2 birthdays so we got some portraits taken and can't wait to see the final pics next week. Aiden also got his first stitch a few weeks ago. He was playing in the living room while Aaron was making breakfast and somehow hit his chin on the end table. It was a small cut but deep and wasn't going to stop bleeding on it's own, so it was off the to ER for repair.

Isaac is growing like a weed ! He has started eating fruits & veggies with his cereal and LOVES it. He is also rolling from front to back & back to front. We don't have his 6 month check up for a few weeks but I got on the scale with him a few days ago and he weight 19 lbs!!! He better slow down or he is going to catch up to his brother (Aiden is only 28lbs!). Despite not sleeping he is the cutest baby ever ! He often laughs at his brother and LOVES to sit and smile at his Daddy.

Shaving like Daddy

Bath time Isaac
(if you look at our DEC 2007 post there is a picture of Aiden in the tub that I think looks just like Isaac does here)

Cookies

"My friend Eli came over and we got to decorate cookies. I am not sure what we were supposed to do but we just ate the cookies and then played with the sprinkles. It was pretty fun and mom is still vacuuming up sprinkles :) "

Santa

Santa was nice enough to make a special trip to our house on the 23rd since I had to work on Christmas day. The boys didn't really know what was going on but it was fun. Aiden got some good present opening experience since he got to open Isaac's gifts too. This biggest hit was a moon that we hung in the boys room - it lights up and goes through the lunar phases. When Aiden opened it he ran around the house yelling "moon moon moon" - very cute !!

Christmas Eve PJ's - thanks Grandma !!

Lots of presents !!

Ohhh play dough

I don't know what is going on but it seems fun !!

Grandma Shelle's Christmas

Aaron's grandma turned 90 this year so the Shelle Christmas celebration was extra special. For those of you who don't know Grandma Shelle had 14 children and almost all of them made it to the party this year so it was lots of fun!! Here is our whole family (except Brianna she had just gotten her tonsils out) with Grandma Shelle.

Opening Mack - he was a BIG hit !!
