Shelby's 1st Birthday

So my baby turned 1!! I cant believe she is that old already...really where does the time go?? She is talking up a storm and working on walking...she's still a little wobbly but she does it on her own! We love her to pieces and enjoy having her in our family!! Happy birthday baby!!!

So Shelby's birthday fell on a sunday this year so we decided to have her party that day on her actual birthday...We did a ladybug party at my parents house and everything turned out so cute!! Here's shelby at home before we headed over to my parents houseWe had the party outside in their backyard which was nice except for the weather lol it turned out to be 106 that day!! We had been having 80 degree weather and a few low 90 days but no that day...106. It broke a record!! Last year 2008 May 17th broke a record too reaching 102 so i guess this girl brings the heat!!!!

We had a "pin the antenna on the ladybug" game for the kids..the little ones got to be unblindfolded and the older ones got the blindfold lol it was so cute!

Our winner Miss Gabby!

Jacob

Ethan

Alexia

We did a pinata too shelby was first and could barely hold the bat lol

so daddy helped

here was a pic of the kids before the games started...Shelby, Maycie, Gabby, Ethan, Jacob, Lexi and Xavier is on the end

here is Shelbs putting her antenna on!

Maycie doing hers

After the games we had cake...we had gotten shelby her own cake to destroy and she did pretty good!

we all sang "happy birthday!" Shelby enjoyed every minute and i helped her blow out the candle

The cakes...one ladybug and then the sheet cake for the adults...we gave all the kids the cupcakes and shelby had the middle


Shelby is truly loved...she had lots of friends and family there!!!

My dad and Jacob handled the b-b-q-ing and did an awesome job!! Yummy chicken and hot dogs!

Then came presents...boy is this kid spoiled!! she got tons of toys and clothes!! Thank you to everyone!!!!

Luckily we did the party early so we beat most of the heat!! A big thank you to all our friends and family that took the time to spend this special day with us...And Shelby we love you!!

Disneyland and My Birthday

This year we decided to do Disneyland for my birthday! We had my mom sister and Jacob (Nikki's boyfriend), and Deana and Belinda go with us!! It was great fun and one of the best birthdays ever!! Seeing Disneyland through your kids is soooo amazing!! We all had a wonderful time and thank you to our families for making this trip the BEST!! Also thanks to Jimmy for finally going to Disneyland with me!! I love you!

DAY 1 Disneyland- Family of four headed in
We headed straight over to the Finding Nemo ride because we were told that line gets rediculously LONG...

Lexi on Nemo

Shelby's very first ride lol.... she loved it.

Then we headed over to do peter pan, the carousel, dumbo and all those!! Here's Jimmy and Shelby in line for Peter pan. She wasn't too sure of this ride...she focused on the scull on the car the whole time lol

Shelby did like the carousel. Jimmy held her and we got some great pics!!

Dumbo was a big hit! Shelby was so excited in line!! She kept giggling and bouncing and couldnt wait to get on. This pic of me and the girls was in the "pic place" on the actual ride I rode with Shelbs and Jimmy rode with Lex

After that we went to "Pixie Hollow" to meet the fairies. Grandma Tubbs had given Lex an autograph book so she could collect autographs from the characters...well we love the tinkerbell movie so this was a must!! The line was LONG and poor shelby missed this attraction by falling asleep! Here's me and Gramma Val and our "sleepy fairy"

Nothing was going to wake this baby up!! Not even Tinkerbell....

After her nap.....

This was by far Shelby's favorite ride....Its a Small World. She loved standing in line watching the clock and the dolls...then she LOVED the ride. She oohed and aahed the whole time. She was so busy looking at everything the whole time!!!
















Then we went to go see Minnie and Mickey Mouse!! The line for Mickey was soooo long but so worth it for the kids!! Lex got the autographs and we got pics!!





The girls in Minnie's House

outside minnie's house was the wishing well....we all threw our pennies except Shelby....she wanted to eat her penny!




here we are with Mickey!!!





They had lots of cute places to take pics in the line for Mickey's house....we took this by the birthday cake since it was my birthday!!!

My wonderful husband and mother in law!! Too Cute

DAY 2- California Adventure

On Sunday we did California Adventure and had a ball there too!! We went to the "Bugs Life" area and did all those rides. The kids loved it!

On the ladybug ride they wouldnt let Shelby sit on my lap like all the others so she had to sit on the seat like a big girl....she wasnt too sure about that! She sure clung to me and Jimmy during that ride and we couldn't stop laughing!

Lexi and Aunt Belinda on the bumper cars!

Shelby wasnt big enough to ride the bumper cars but she had fun watching the rest of the gang!!

Gramma Val and Lex on round 2!

Aunt Nikki and Jacob!


Eating some watermelon!!! Alexia's favorite!!



Aunt Belinda and Shelby shopping

Me Nikki, Gramma Val, Jacob and Lex on the Rapids ride!! Boy did we get soaked!

Then we went and ate lunch!! It was sooo good! Here's my cheeser girl with Jacob!

After lunch we went to the "Play house Disney" show. We knew Shelby would love that because she watches those shows at home! She loved it! They did all her favorites: Mickey mouse clubhouse, handy manny, tigger and pooh and little einsteins!! What fun! Me and Lex riding the toy story ride! That ride was so fun!! You got to shoot the targets!!

That night we ate a wayyy late dinner at this mexican restraunt in Downtown disney Yum Yum!! it was great food and they had a guy there that made pretty much anything you could think of out of balloons! Lexi got ariel. of course!
