Happy Birthday Shelberella







I can't believe how fast my days and weeks have been going by. One minute it is Monday the next it is another Monday. This week was Shelberellas 9th birthday. I can't believe it. She is such a joy to be around. She is so motherly and always a big help with Mylee. She is so mellow and such a good girl. I love her so much. She is becoming quite a beautiful young lady. She is such a social butterfly and always needs a friend to play with. I was thinking the other day about a couple of funny stories that had to do with her name. Her name it Shelby Ella, she is named after my grandma Carma's mom, Ella. When my dad told my grandma her name, she thought she said she'll be Ella. It made us laugh when we found out months later she didn't know her name wasn't Ella, but Shelby Ella. Another time when she was about six months old I was taking Jaxon and another little boy to preschool. My kids grow really fast in the first 6 months of their lives and Shelby was rather plump. When I got to preschool, the little boy sat there for a moment before getting out. In a rather concerned way he asked me"why did you name your baby Chubby?" He thought we were calling her Chubby not Shelby. It was a very appropriate question though. I love her so much and I am very greatful to be her mom. She makes the job very easy.
