Shelby's 9th Birthday!

On Saturday, May 4th, Shelby turned 9 years old!  Can not believe how fast 9 years have gone by.  Our 9 year old girl is into dinosaurs, dragons, and lizards.  Never saw that coming!  Her party theme is dinosaurs.  Her birthday originally was packed full but due to the on-going crummy spring weather, a few outdoor events were cancelled.  9 am softball practice (thank God) and her 2 pm soccer game.  She did have the privilege to read her Young Author book at Barnes and Noble bookstore.  (Next blog post).  Morgan had a birthday party for a classmate so Shelby played with her new legos and I took a nap while we waited in the parking lot for the party to finish up.  We had her choice of Tobin's Pizza on Friday night and we had cake Saturday evening. When we got home from running all over, she played basketball with her dad.  Here are some pictures.

 She got a few other small things.  I also ordered a tire swing for the swing set for her birthday.
 I had to wait until Monday after school to get a nice birthday picture.
The dinosaur/monkey party is happening this weekend.  Happy 9th Birthday Shelby Maddux!
