Our Shelby Girl

First Day of Summer Camp & other fun times......

Hi All, Tyler started Summer Camp last week! What a big boy he is becoming. He said, "Mama, I'm not going to cry because I'm a big boy now. I'm growing up." Oh, he knows just what to say to bring me to tears! He had a great time and brings home fun crafts for Mama and Daddy every day!


We also have added a few recent pics of the kiddos. Ty even took some all by himself. :)

Is it really the middle of June??!!!

Wow, I've slacked a little on posting. I guess life happens. :) The Bunn house is a little messy right now. Literally! We've begun the process of putting wood floors in on the whole downstairs. We are doing it all ourselves, so it's tedious! However, we just finished the kitchen & family room, so the end is in sight!

Jason is now healed, for the most part, and back at work. We were able to have some really great family time despite him being injured. We made a little trip to enjoy some fresh air in Fish Camp with my parents in April and visited Grandma Rachel & Jim and went to the air & train show in May. Then at the end of May we went on a little vacation with Grandma & Papa Williamson in Newport Beach. Such a great relaxing time!

The kids are good. Ty starts his first Summer Camp this coming Monday. I think he's excited, but I'm still trying to convince him that it is okay that Mama & Daddy won't be staying. :) We had a picnic at the park he will be at to familiarize him with it. It made him even more excited!

Shelby is changing every day! I can tell she has Ty's feisty attitude. She screams at us in between spoonfuls of food. We can't get it in fast enough. She's not a good sleeper, though! I guess she just has too much to see and do.

We are anxious for a fun summer in the pools and being with friends. Hope you are too! Melanie

Happy May!

Happy May!! Can you all believe summer is here?? It's amazing to me that our little Shelby is now 4 months old. The 3 of us all gathered around her this morning as she took her first bites of cereal. We were way more excited than she was! Really no big deal to her. :)

Jason is finally healing! He will be returning to work on "light duty" starting Monday. I'm going to need some major adjusting now that he won't be home everyday. Wow, that was sure nice. :)

Tyler is as funny as ever. He loves bugs! Any rolly polly or lady bug he finds just brightens his day. His Aunt Jeanette gave him a glass lady bug. We have made him a cute little bed with a blanket and all.

We have a big weekend planned....trip to Grandma Rachel's, an airshow, and a train show. So, check the blog next week to for more updates. :) Melanie

Our Spring has begun....

We were able to head south to Newport Beach this past weekend. We had a great time staying at the Marriott Newport Coast Villas. Highly recommend it! Grammie & Papa had a convention to go to, so we crashed their condo. We had fun eating ice cream, going in the jacuzzi, playing at the sandbox (at the hotel), and just hangin' out as a family. Shelby felt sand for the first time and Ty found a Hermit crab!

The Last Day of March

Hi all, I just had to share our little Shelby and her addiction to TV! Especially CMT (Country Music Videos). Very funny. We were actually at my sisters yesterday and when someone moved her to where she couldn't see the TV, she started fussing. So funny!

Also, Tyler became a little artist, with Daddy's help. I went to the gym and found a cute Play-Doh surprise when I returned. It's a picture of me holding iced tea in one hand and a plate of cookies in the other. He must have seen my dreams. :)

Well, I've succomed to the peer pressure of building a Blog for our little family. I am so glad I did! This is so fun. Especially since so many of our loved ones are not with us on a daily basis. Maybe this will inspire all of you to create a special place to share your memories, dreams, triumphs, and struggles, with those you love.

Since I'm a little late in starting this in 2008. I'll do a quick update on the 4 Bunns. Well, on January 1st, there were 3 of us, on January 2nd, it became 4. Our little "Shelbster", as Daddy calls her, arrived to bless our life. She is nothing but smiles and cuddles. The best baby! God knew exactly what we needed. Tyler often says, "Mama, I love Shelby so much!". We all do.

Tyler turned 3 on January 29th. He's a ball of fire and a loving boy all wrapped into one. I'm sure any of you that has had a 3 year old understand. :) He makes us laugh and cry at times and we wouldn't change him for anything. He's started his first semester of soccer. Sometimes he loves it and sometimes he says he's "just too tired". He spends a lot of his time playing with his friends and choo-choo trains. We try and burn as much energy as we can on a daily basis.

Jason has, unfortunately, separated his shoulder and isn't his active self right now. He's trying to remember that this too shall pass. In January he changed fire stations. He is now at station 91, in Sylmar. Only 15 minutes from home and definitely slower at night. We are all happy about that. He will probable be off work another 3 weeks, but is anxious to get back.

I'm busy being a nurse at the moment. To Tyler, who has a cold, to Jason and, of course, being pretty much everything to Shelby. I love being there for them. Other than that, I'm loving being a Table Leader at our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group at Grace. It's a great outlet for me and has allowed me to meet some great new friends.

We feel very thankful by all the blessings the Lord has given us and we are excited to see what else 2008 holds. I'm excited to share it with y'all too. Love, The 2nd Bunn
