Pony Rides!

We have had a crazy day today! Our friend Neva had her birthday party today and her surprise visitor was a miniature horse named Danny. Shelby got a brief ride before we had to run off to our baseball game. Thanks to our friend Colleen, we have a little bittie video of her ride.

Swim, Swim, Swim

So no pictures, but Shelby had swimming lessons today - just by herself with a substitute coach but she swam 50 yds of backstroke today! We had a very brief pause at the wall in between laps but she did it! I am not sure it would have qualified during a swim meet and it wasn't what anyone would call FAST but hey!!!! 50 yds when you are only 3.5ft tall.

A Trip to the Driving Range

Shelby got to visit one of her favorite places for the 2nd day in a row on Sunday. Dave and I took her down to the local driving range where she informed Dave that we would be getting two large buckets of balls. Dave laughed but we ended up buying two! We saw two groundhogs on the range which watched carefully while Dave tried to hit them with golf balls. The groundhogs were more than safe!

Daddy Gets a New Toy but Shelby May Like it More!

Dave bought Captain Phil's old John Deere (which mostly looks like it just rolled off the assembly line) and I am pretty sure Shelby thought Santa Claus had come a little early. She was SO excited to help mow the lawn (she tried the old push mower last week and lasted just two swipes!). As you can see from the look on her face, Dave probably will never get to go back to the solitude of mowing the lawn by himself!

Mudcats Basball Begins!

The Mudcats took on the Raptors (ok - really - not so much took on as were on the same field - hahaha) this morning at 9am. The kids had a great time and Shelby even got an out with a great throw by her friend Luke. Daddy, Uncle Ryan (her friend Reilly's Dad) and Coach Bird did a great job with the kids... You can see more from the game at www.wllmudcats.com and click on our photo albums. Only 15 more games to go!!

Baseball Practice Starts!

Shelby is playing Little League baseball this spring. This is her 3rd season of t-ball but her first with Little League. Her team is the Carolina Mudcats (the poor t-ball kids get the farm league names!). The season starts on April 17 - should be interesting!
