Making the Wish Connection

2011-09-07T23:16:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody! Shelby & Co. has some pretty big events coming up!

First, the walk is coming! We encourage everybody on the team to help us fundraise. We have some team members who have really cool fundraising ideas. We also encourage you to check out our Facebook page for info on all things Shelby & Co.!

Now here’s the cool part! My 1^st grade teacher knows these incredible people from an organization called The Wish Connection. The Wish Connection is similar to The Make-a-Wish Foundation, except these people grant wishes for kids who have everyday challenges with things like diabetes, not terminal illnesses. They started this in Texas and are bringing it to the Bay Area. I am going to be the first Bay Area wish child!

I am going to go to San Francisco on Friday in a LIMO! Once I am in San Fran, I will get settled in to the Mark Hopkins Hotel (on the top of Nob Hill). Then go to an Italian restaurant named Bucca di Beppo.

On Saturday, I get to eat breakfast in a restaurant in the hotel. After breakfast, I will go to the House of Air, which is an indoor trampoline park at Crissy Field. Then, we go back to the hotel to get freshened up and go to a Giants pre-game party! After the party, we will get into the limo that will drive us to AT&T Park for a field visit! After the game, we will go back to the hotel and rest.

On Sunday, we will eat breakfast at another restaurant in the hotel. After, we will go to the Academy of Sciences, where we will go on the Adventure Tour. After, the limo will bring us back home!

However, this is only phase one! New York is phase two…

New things and the best summer ever! (not to mention walk stuff too)

Hey everybody!

Here are some updates and some other stuff.

This Saturday is the Walk to Cure Diabetes kick-off at the San Francisco Zoo! Be there. It's going to be fun and the coolest kick-off ever!

The walk is coming up! Team Shelby is the strongest team. It would be even stronger if the regular people brought friends, family, and neighbors. This team is the best and I love all of you.

Now that the walk is coming up on Oct. 23 that means it's time to order -shirts and hoodies. Since we are walking across the Golden Gate bridge it's going to be cold!

Don't forget about the Team Shelby Facebook page.

I'm going to Middle School and I'm kind of scared. There will be lots of classes and I'm going to need a big backpack. I guess I can rely on my family when I need them the most during the year. Thank goodness for families.

Okay I love you guys and hope I can see you at the walk. Mark your calenders!

Blogging................ FINALLY!

2010-02-04T20:31:00.000-08:00

Hey guys!
   Let me catch you up on what's been happening lately. First of all, I want to say the walk was a huge success. Thanks everyone for coming and supporting Team Shelby.

My dad has diabetes now. He found out through a study called Trial Net. They test his pancreas through blood tests to figure out if his pancreas is still working. If it's not then he has type 1 diabetes. His pancreas hasn't stopped completely but is slowing down. He got his first I.D. bracelet, but it's a cuff one. It's so cool.

School has been going okay. Still doing fifth grade everything. I hate it when my class gets so noisy! You can hear the noise outside of the classroom. We had lots of substitute teachers in my class. My teacher's daughter has been sick so she's been watching her.

I think my mom has pink eye because she's not really feeling well. I feel bad because somedays all she does is lay in bed.

I can't wait for baseball season to start. GO GIANTS! My fourth grade teacher likes the A's . BOO!

Anyway , I'm writing a book called "Alejandra Gonzalez's Guide on How to Get Over Homework, Annoying Brothers, and School. Also on How to Have Fun with Friends and Hang Out All Summer Long!" Here's a quote: "My rule is to hang out with friends forever and never have to worry about a thing. Sometimes I wonder how hard it would be if we could all share and have peace, love and unity. However, I don't think that will happen because the world is filled with punks and bullys. I guess I have to except that the world is a sinful place. I HATE it!"

   It's a good read. That is from the standpoint of Alejandra who is trying to have the best summer ever. My book isn't finished, but when it is I will let you know.

The SF Walk!

2009-10-17T21:01:00.000-07:00

Hey readers!

We had the San Francisco walk today. It was cold for part of the day then it got warm. My cousins came to the walk. They are so cute. I don't ever want them to leave. Aaron and Nathan are at my house for a BBQ. We had tri-tip, chicken, and hot dogs with tortillas. Jealous much? After dinner we all had DELICIOUS chocolate fudge cake. All thanks to Ms. Stacey who is home taking care of her sick family. Thanks for the cake.

The walk :)

Dear readers,

This year's walk is going to be at Crissy Field in San Francisco. The JDRF has put together a hike during the walk. If you want to hike, go to one of my parents before the walk so we know who is going to hike. Since we are doing it in San Francisco were it is really cold, we are doing chocolate brown pullover hoodies and t- shirts. (We're only taking orders through Oct. 5!)

Across the street is the Sports Basement and they are doing an Octoberfest and if we raise $100 you get in for FREE! How awesome is that? I think they have beer and food. Remember: if your going to drink more than two beers make sure you have a non-drunk driver driving you home. :)

The walk's around the corner so remember to register today! Also make sure you get a cool chocolate brown pullover and t-shirt combo.

Thank you so much,

Shelby

My Awesome Vacation with Dad

2009-07-05T19:35:00.000-07:00

Hey readers!

My dad had two whole weeks off.It was pretty awesome.We went to the Giants game today.I hope your Fourth of July was special and you spent it with your families. I spent my Fourth of July with my family. First Alex and I put on a dance show for my parents. It was very fun. My mom and I watched a little bit of this movie called "Uncle Buck" before we went onto our porch to watch the fireworks that came from the Community center. After our dance show we got to have root beer floats. Mmmmm. Those are so good.

The sad thing is that my dad has to go back to work tomorrow.I hate that he has to go back, but the good thing is I can go to work with him to help with projects and help organize his desk.(maybe) During those two weeks we went to Lompoc to see my cousins and the Annual Flower Festival was in town so we got to go to the park . I got some pretty cool stuff there. I got a bunch of bracelets for just three dollars and a unique bookmark for eight dollars.

One of the days we were there we got to go to a park that was near my aunt's house were we where staying.I'll miss my dad hanging out with us.It was fun but it went so fast. I hate that. Anyway I'm having lots of fun this summer and I'm glad that I got to spend it with my dad.:) These two awesome, fun filled weeks with my whole family. That's all I'm going to post today.

Keep reading,
:) Shelby :)

My Peter Pan Performance

2008-11-01T13:16:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody!

Well, I did a Peter Pan performance in American Canyon. It was very fun. I was Tinkerbell and Alex was John. I only danced for the beginning and the end. It went faster then I expected it to. We had fun. It was awesome. Hearing all the cheers and clapping was just great. I wish I could explain it more clearly.

How was your Halloween? Mine was great. Me and Alex do not go trick or treating. We do not like Halloween. When the big kids scare the little kids it sucks all the fun out of it. I mean it's not fun to trick little kids and scare them. I got scared when I was a little girl. It was no fun for me at all. That is why I feel for them.

Anyway, that's my blog. See you!

New Pump

2008-09-28T20:38:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody! I got a new Mini Med pump. And it's purple. It's so awesome. We have to have somebody from Mini Med come over and teach us how to use it.

How are you doing? I'm doing great! Last Friday was our last game of our six pack. Last Sunday was the last game of the Giants season. I got some stuff for my Build- a -bear on Friday. They were so cool I. I even got a foam finger and Giants flag for free! It was so fun!

So the walk is coming up, be prepared it's a circus theme. Anyway., that was all I wanted to talk to you about. See you guys!

I'm Back!

2008-07-13T20:40:00.000-07:00

Hey, I’m sorry I haven’t been writing much. It’s because I’m on summer break and forgot about my writing.

So, anyway my mom and dad surprised me and Alex with a six pack of Giants tickets. The seats were on the bleacher section. It’s awesome!

Our first game was on the Fourth of July. We saw everything crystal clear. Before it felt we were looking through glass. We sat with Rico and Mark our buddies from last year. Hey guys what’s up?

Anyway, I’m getting my retainer on Friday the 18th. The next Giants game is on the 18th too.

If you don’t know already, if you have comments on the bottom of this page. Thanks! Well see you . Bye!!!!
