There never seem to be enough hours in the day for me to get everything done that I want to accomplish. One of those things is keeping a journal of our family as we grow and change over the years. I started this blog, mainly for myself, as a way to quickly compile those special memories and events in our lives. And if our family and friends can keep in touch by reading about those special times in our lives too, then that's even better!

Shelby Elizabeth...


Shelby...our only girl. Already 12 years old, and growing into such a beautiful young lady, inside & out. She lights up my life every single day with her fun personality, her energetic spirit, and her loving heart.


Shelby is at her best and happiest when she is with animals, and our family has developed quite a zoo!
Lizzy the lizard, 4 hermit crabs, 2 rabbits (Mr. Whiskers & Peanut - AKA: Bun Bun), Delilah (our German Shepherd/Husky who bares a wonderful resemblance to our beloved Sampson who we'll always love & miss), Bo & Luke (our blood hound/great dane brothers) and Shelby's horse Jimmy. Whew! That's a lot!
I know Shelby's future will have abundant animals in it, and that whatever she chooses to do in life, her true love will remain in the outdoors with the critters.
I'm so grateful that we have Shelby...our one and only daughter. I love spending time with her, from our girls only shopping trips, to horse back riding, to just hanging out. She is such a good, kind person, and I'm lucky to have her in my life.
