The Sheltraw Family: December 2013
http://sheltraw.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. We had a very busy month of December. That's part of why I've been so neglectful of the blog, but I'm trying to catch up! Here's what we've been up to this month:. Santa came to Texas, cowboy hat and all! This was also the first time Brody sat with him without crying! This was another one of my attempts at trying to keep them from fighting all day so I could get some stuff done. :) We made felt Christmas trees so they could decorate with pompoms and ribbons. Ammy and Papa drov...

Another fun idea.we used Disney paint swatches to make a countdown to our Disneyland trip! I made homemade fingerpaints from a recipe on Pinterest. It just had cornstarch, sugar, salt, and water. Then I added some crayola washable paints for color. Obviously the "finger"painting turned into footpainting. Here's one that I don't think is worth it, but apparently everyone else who tried thinks it's amazing! I posted this birthday wreath on the home page, but I had to share it here since I found it on pinte...

The Sheltraw Family: April 2014
http://sheltraw.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 27, 2014. Before our yearly membership ran out, we took one more trip to the zoo and this time we met up with Ava and Ellie. Ava brought some binoculars and Dylan liked using them! Fun on the drums! Checking out the orangutan. Look at those giraffes. Brody was more interested in climbing than the giraffes. The petting zoo had a baby goat that was so cute! We had to take a turn on the Merry Go Round too! And, yes, this is brotherly "love" happening right here! What a fun day! We didn't wait ...

Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Swim Season IOST (part 1). In April, Dylan joined the Imperial Oaks Swim Team. It's been an amazing season and he's come such a long way. Here's a re-cap of the season.yes, the whole thing! We started with a team crawfish boil! It's a good thing they also had hot dogs. These Californians (and our Texan kids) don't do crawfish! The first swim meet was just with our team. I'm so glad we went and learned how the meets are run and experienced the overwhelming chaos of swim meets!

The Sheltraw Family: March 2014
http://sheltraw.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 03, 2014. We have been busy busy with school work. We don't do it every day, but 3-4 times/week is what we shoot for. Some days Brody likes the time to play by himself and others he likes to "join" us.some might say bother, interrupt, etc. :) I've been trying to give him his own activities to do, but he's not super crazy about them. They keep him occupied for about 30 sec. at a time! He did do a good job with the ones that made it in though! Trying to keep Brody occupied with a shape puzzle.

Thursday, January 30, 2014. Hi Ho, Hi Ho It's off to California We Go! I really thought I hadn't taken that many pictures this trip and it ended up being 3 pages on this blog.it never fails.picture overload! Our trip to CA started with an exciting flight! We never know if we're getting seats or not so it was exciting when we got to fly on the same plane with our best friends! And, we got to fly right into OC! The kids were excited to see each other in the airport! We took a couple hours to head to the pa...

Sunday, June 30, 2013. I know I've been a total slacker on the blog lately! We're just enjoying summer way too much! I'm working on getting it updated so stay tuned and be warned! It'll be a picture overload! Friday, June 21, 2013. Last Days of Daycare. During the last 2 weeks of daycare we had beautiful weather! Occasionally it would be a little hot, but for the most part it was great and we played outside A LOT! Here in TX, if the weather's nice, you gotta take advantage of it! They shoveled it in!

Friday, October 10, 2014. I have really neglected this blog. :( I can never find a spare minumte to update here, but I'm working on it and I've still got the whole summer to do. It's coming.slowly! In June we went on our annual Moody Gardens trip with the gang. It's always a fun day in the sun and water! The boys were loving the water slides. There are only 2 small ones for them but they still had fun! I told Dylan to tell that lifeguard that HE is bigger than his little brother! Our Miracle is here!
