Kids + Cats

Jenna is ABSOLUTELY in love with her kittens.  Fortunately they all came from homes that had kids, so they have been good with the kids!

First lesson with Kittens, do NOT pick them up by their neck, pick them up by their belly.

 They all just let Jenna drag them around as she wishes. 

 This is when they came home.  Shelby didn't know what to think of the kittens.  All week she has been terrified of the kittens.  This weekend she is starting to finally warm up to them. 

Shelby and Socks (I love this picture)

 They move faster than Shelby, but she kept going around checking them out!

New Addition to the Family

Lance and I have been talking for a while now about how we felt like somethine was missing from our family.  Last Saturday, Lance and Jenna went after something we felt would be a good, new addition to our family.... KITTENS!

Socks

 Buddy

 Pete

 There are 2 that look identical to this one, so this is Smokey and the other is Bandit, they are not the friendliest of the bunch.

 Boo

The Kittens (well the majority of them).



Lil' Miss Independence

Shelby still only has 2 teeth, but insists on eating whatever is on the table.  If I try to feed her baby food, this is what happens....

Little Miss Independence insists on feeding herself!

She is getting to hard to feed baby food, so we have officially graduated!  Finger foods along with the occasional apple sauce or mashed potatoes that we have along with our meal.  We haven't quite graduated from the bottle, but we are getting closer!

First Birthday Pictures

I took Shelby into Evansivlle when we were down farming with my parents.  Portrait Innovations took 96 pictures, all of which were pretty good!

 I love these pictures, she is so comfortable!

 None of the 1 pictures were that great...mostly because she wanted to lean on it.

 This is my absolute favorite picture!

 Sticking her tongue out at someone....

 I thought I might use a prop for the pictures.  She loves her bear, which was evident, but the pictures just weren't print worthy.

Swimmin'

Over the weekend, we traveled south to farm with the Rentchlers.  Carla brought Ciara's pool along and we let the girls splash around together.  Miss Shelby was just being a ham all weekend!

 Jenna and Ciara splashed and splashed and splashed while Shelby just watched.

 Every little girl needs a mohawk...at least once in their life!

 The cousins enjoyed the pool all at one time.  It seemed a little crowded!

 I thought this picture was just precious!

The girls definately had fun playing and splashing around together on Saturday!
