Some Random Pics from the Weekend!

Stevie and Lilly played at Purple Heart Park on the swings...

...and the slides.

My sister the multi-tasker. Isn't she amazing?

Grandma and Grandpa Forgacs with Baby Shyla at the Santos Home.

...and Steve washing our windshield!

The Arrival of BOB!

Way back in March (yes, 5 months ago) I ordered a jogging stroller that is compatible with our carseat. Well, to make a long story short, it never arrived. Finally I cancelled the order, got the money back, and ordered a BOB jogging stroller. It is not compatible with our carseat but it has really great reviews, Shyla can sit in it without the carseat, and (best of all) it arrived in less than 1 week. Let the half-marathon training begin!

Because Shyla is so little we had to work hard to tighten the straps...so we practiced with Stitch because he's pretty much Shyla-sized and doesn't cry if you pull the straps too tight.

Finally it was her turn. She looks so small!

I don't have any pictures of BOB's maiden voyage because I was, well, running but we met for coffee at Le Buzz after. I love this picture of Brian with Shyla because of the look on her face! Don't worry, we did eventually let him take her out of the carseat and he held her the whole time we were there! Brian is a natural...

Chelsea and Nicole after the run.

Queen Victoria

Shyla has a really cute onesie that has a collar that just won't stay down! We call her Queen Victoria when she wears it.

Jason doesn't feel 100% comfortable holding babies but he just couldn't resist Shyla. He thinks he might have squeezed her. I think she looks really happy though!

An upclose view of Queen Victoria!

It was for the Kids!

So Dairy Queen had a special day where the purchase of every blizzard benefitted the Children's Miracle Network. Of course we went!

See...I'm not lying...it really was for the kids!

Even Shyla, hanging out here with Alexia, helped the kids out!

Shyla's Name Plate

The first time that Stevie and I went to Las Vegas together was for Dan's 21st birthday in May 2004. While there, I saw these cool name designs and I really liked them so Stevie surprised me by buying me one. I thought it would be nice for Shyla to have one of her own. When we were in Vegas in April I was looking for one, but never found one. While there this past weekend we found a woman creating them outside of the shark encounter so, of course, we bought one and, of course, I had to take pictures of Shyla with her name.

Facing My Fears

I have always been afraid of sharks. I have no problem with bugs or snakes, but I really don't like sharks. Well, Mandalay Bay has a shark encounter that we decided to visit. It was VERY cool and educational enough for Mom to enjoy it also!

It was the first time that Shyla used her stroller without the carseat attached. Doesn't she look cute? and small?

Me and my girl with a nice lush background.

A great picture of Nancy, Grandma, Nannette, Shyla, and Mom. This one was taken in the shark tunnel. That's right! There were sharks swimming over our heads and to our left and right!

Mom and Nannette getting educated with the audio-wands.

And, finally, the professional picture. We had a great time. We were sorry that Lilly had to miss it because she would have really enjoyed it. Oh well, there's always next time.

The Wedding!

Cindy looked beautiful...Dean looked handsome...by some miracle Joe got his tux in-time and looked quite daper himself. I wish I could say that the ceremony was beautiful but, due to babies crying, Chelsea and I missed it! We heard much of it though and it sounded fun! We are so happy for Cindy and Dean and wish them much joy, smiles, and laughter in the future.

Shyla looked beautiful for the 2nd wedding she attended. She is pretty much an expert! Although, unlike Lilly, she doesn't think it should be her turn to get married next!

Chelsea had a good time...or so it appears!

Annie looked amazing! Here she is admiring Shyla.

The zebra drank my soda. How rude! ...and random.

Uncle Pete, Dad, and Shyla.

I think Zac had the best time of anyone. He danced all night with Nannette!

Uncle Pete, Cindy, and Stevie.

Cindy, Chelsea, and the party-animal Zac!

Nannette, Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Pete. I think it too about 4 tries to get this picture because Pete kept talking.

The ceremony was great! We couldn't stay long because I wanted to feed Shyla and let her rest a little bit. I wish I had a picture of DJ Steve because he was crazy. Oh well, I guess he will have to live on in our memories...
