Catching up...well sort of

So about a month ago I told Scott that I was going to take over this blog for several reasons. For one,we finally got a laptop so I didn't have the excuse anymore that I couldn't get on the computer for fear it would wake Shelby up(she's a light sleeper). Secondly, I am trying to pick up a new hobby(obviously, I'm not doing so good on this one but I've managed to take up reading, kind of :) However as I have been typing this, I just realized that the main reason I wanted to do this was because I am a control freak and somewhat of a perfectionist. I know what you're thinking..."Lindsay, a control freak?....rrrright".

OK, so maybe you aren't thinking that exactly. Maybe some of you already know this about me, but if you don't, ask anybody who has worked with me. Usually anytime I'm given something to do or even if I ask someone what I should do, in the end I tweak the ideas I'm given to fit MY plan or completely ignore the advice and just do what I want. This is all to true especially if you're name is Scott...my poor husband. He has gotten used to it though. He knows me all to well and has just given up trying to tell me what he thinks....actually let me rephrase that. He has given up telling me what he thinks only when I solicit his advice.

So back to my MAIN reason--I'm also a perfectionist. One might think this is something good to be sometimes, BUT I am an INDECISIVE perfectionist who is overly thorough--the worst kind! Being thorough can be a good quality to have at times, but not so much when you only have a half hour here or there. And after losing so many brain cells post pregnancy I've realized that it totally slows me down and leads to alot of unfinished projects. Hence the reason why this blog is already taking me 30 minutes to type this far(I've already tried to edit and re-edit what I've written already,I'm obessive I swear) and I haven't even gotten to the pics of Shelby, Scott's graduation or our trip to Vancouver.............SIGH.

Well now you've gotten a little sample of how my mind works...a bit scatter brained I know, but its me :) Good thing my husband loves me for it. I've heard that with every kid you lose even more brain cells which means I'll become even more scatter brained and since I was pretty much born this way....I'm totally screwed! Oh well...there is always cooking or scrabooking,right? Hahaha.....rrrrright. I'll stick to reading and maybe this for now :)



SO ANYWAYS...I'll get to the real reason you are on this page, not to read my rambling, but to see pics of my Sweet N Sassy Shelby. Here we go...




This is about 2 weeks ago. Shelby is in her first sun hat that I got basically for free...$1.79...jealous? Yeah buddy :)

Click on pics to get a closer look at those chubby cheekies.












Shelby sportin' her BYU gear that Uncle Casey gave her for Christmas. Shelby has another one exactly like it in blue from Aunt Missy too.










These are my favorite. They are over the last few months so in some she is younger than others. The one in the sink was taken like a week ago.

Shelby is never happier than when she is completely naked. She came out that way so I guess it makes sense :) Check out those rolls!!


Well I'm all blogged out for tonight. I'll post more next month or so-j/k

Hopefully sooner than later :)

What a chunky monkey she is! How did you get the pictures arranged together like that?

Nice job in arranging those pics, and yeah...how did you do that?

I think your "chunky monkey" looks like her daddy.
