Here it goes...
September- I have to first start out with finding out I was pregnant :)
In November we creatively told our families of our good fortune( both here and here), went to support our Dad at Dancing with the Stars, painted Aunt Mary's room, choreographed and performed Joseph and His Dream Coat.
February we Found our boy, my 23rd Birthday, and school-school and more school.
In May I waddled my way through school and graduated with a Deaf Studies Diploma, my sister got married! brandon and I took a graduation trip to Vegas, and friend, family and neighborhood baby showers.
July, sweet baby boy was blessed, he had his first photo shoot and daxton went to all 3 hours of church.
in August 2 year anniversary in Vegas at the Donny Get together and we sat in a room for 19 hours. But made up for it by going to the Hale center theatre to see The Drowsy Chaperon.
September, i ran my post pregnant body over the muddy hills in the Dirty dash, started my new job teaching dance and voice and went to see the heart-melting Tim McGraw
in November we bought a home! me and Daxton got really sick... but we are better now and we celebrated Thanksgiving.
December we went on a cruise (provo river that is), celebrated Christmas with family and partied up the new year with friends, and took some family photos
January, Tan the man left on his mission, oh!- and took non pregnant pictures. :) and we celebrated Brandon's birthday by going to a ceramics studio
Phew... that feels better. Its good to look back and see some of the things that has been accomplished and done. Mathew Arnold sums up the rest of my feelings for me...
"Life is not about having and getting, but being and becoming."
Make it a good year!

Goodness you did have quite the eventful year. Here's to hoping you have an awesome 24th year. And agreed with everyone else you look fantastic in all of these pictures. Simply gorgeous.
That was a great blog Shelby! My motto is you're not old until you start growing mold, so I think you're good.
Shelby - I think this past year you have lived life with grace and love. You are a great woman of faith, and a good role model to other women on how to be a wonderful daughter, sister, wife and mother. I wish I had had life as together as you do when I was your age.
Wow thank you for all those sweet comments! Robin that was very kind of you to say those things. Thank you.
Shelby, that was the past year? What about the past 24 years??? You are an amazing woman. I am SO blessed to call you my friend. And the "non-pregnant" picture by the brick wall? AMAZING. Love you girl.
Yeah . . I agree with everyone here - what a great year! I'm glad you posted those . . . not so much for us, but for you. I hope it lifted up your spirits and just made you realize how very blessed you are.
24? Oh, to be 24 again! Enjoy it now! It'll fly by so fast! You are very fortunate to have a husband that takes such wonderful pictures to chronicle your life. This is a gift! Thanks for sharing it with us, too!
