White Coat Ceremony and other fun
















Des Moines University is such a great school with lots of traditions and activities! Michael is just loving it. Last saturday DMU and their alumni honor the first year students at a ceremony called the White Coat Ceremony, it is a time to welcome the new students to the medical profession and the university. So here are a few pictures of us and Michael looking sharp in his white coat!

Also we had the great opportunity to visit Omaha and the Winter Quarter temple. What an amazing place! Calista loved the temple and she got so excited to see Moroni with his trumpet on top! It was also extra special because I know that some of my ancesters came through and stayed at Winter Quarters on their way west. There is just so much history here!! I can't wait to visit other church sites. Cali found the perfect hand cart to pull her bear in! She is ready to go west!
Lets see, Bradford is doing great! He is just over 16 pounds-what a little tank. We are thinking of changing his name to Bradford 'the tank' Shelton! Hahaha. Just joking. But seriously my arms are getting a workout carrying him around. He still loves to cuddle and he is starting to smile and coo alot! I can't wait until he starts to giggle and laugh.

1. Michael already looks like a real doctor!!!
2. Cali is GORGEOUS! and she's getting so big. I love her outfit with the flower shirt and coat. So cute.
3. Bradford "the Tank" Shelton has a nice ring to it. Our kids won't have to protect your kids in school anymore! Bradford will kick everyone's butt.
