HaLlOwEeN!!!!!

My butterfly princessand my monkey

So Halloween was a busy day for us! We had a bday party to go to and jimmy and I were exhusted becuase we had been up with miss shelby who for some reason was running a high temperature on friday. She is much better now but friday night around 11pm she woke up with a fever of 103!! We stayed up to monitor the fever so by the time saturday morning rolled around we were pretty tired! She was feeling much better saturday so we headed to incredible johns for the birthday...after that we came home and got the kids dressed in their halloween costumes. We then headed over to grandma and grandpa daly's house (Jimmys grandparents) and met up with Steven, Janai and their boys....

me and the girls before we left....

After we met up with Jimmy's brother steven and his family we headed back to our house to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood...there we met up with Jimmy's other brother and his family, and my mom and we all went trick-or-treating together!! We had 6 kids in all having the best time...shelby tried so hard to keep up with the kids...although she did not like to walk up the door but was ok if i carried her...everytime she got a candy she wanted to eat it, silly girl!

Ethan, Xavier, Lex and Jacob in the background

after we were all done trick-or-treating we headed over to my grandparents house so they could see the kids dressed up....my monkey was worn out

after a very busy day we headed home looked through all the candy gave shelby some m&ms and let lex pick 2 candies and watched the new tinkerbell movie as a family (my wonderful hubby puts up with all the girly movies) :) Hope everyone had a safe and happy halloween!!!

The night before Halloween

So friday night after we picked up Alexia we ate dinner and then decided to carve our pumpkins...Usually we do them much earlier but then they get all mushy by halloween so I really liked the idea of doing them the night before. Here is Alexia scooping the goosince shelby is still to little to carve her pumpkins we had her paint a few of them the week before and then I found these cute little faces to put on them. Much easier for me than carving so I got to be the picture taker for the evening lol

me and shelby's pumpkins...the piggy, the kitty cat (jimmy painted this one with Shelby earlier in the week), and another kitty pumpkin...shelby was so thrilled with these she kept taking us over and doing the piggy noise and kitty noise...it was too cute

shelby wanted to help sister

our fabulous decorations on the condo

the finished products....we even had yummy pumpkin spice candles to put in them so our patio smelled yummy

we had so much fun doing the pumpkins and getting in the halloween spirit. Next up HALLOWEEN and trick-or-treating!!

The day before Halloween

On Friday I was having a work party at my work so Jimmy and Shelby came to hang out for a bit. Poor shelby we were only able to wear her costume for a few min because it was 80 degrees and her costume was too HOT! here is her and daddy at my work all dressed up... I work at senior apartment complex and the residents always get a kick out of seeing shelby...she wasnt too sure about seeing them because they were mostly all dressed up which had her a little nervous...

chilling and eating pizza

after a while she warmed up and started to walk around the lobby with her trick-or-treat bucket my co-worker gave her

here she is showing mommy her "pretty outfit" i love this kid!

shelby had fun and after the party her and daddy headed home.

Jimmy's Birthday

Jimmys birthday was last week. We had so much fun and crammed lots of activities in to a few days! I had a special surprise for him amd it turned out fabulous and he loved it!! A few days before his birthday we had went to our nephew Ethans birthday! The girls had fun running around and playing with their cousins

Later that night we took Jimmy to dinner for his family birthday dinner at BJ"S yum!! We had a wonderful dinner and a great bday pazookie!! Those things are awesome! Then we headed back to our place for presents and a apple walnut cobbler I made. YUM!

Here is lex handing the presents to dad :)

THEN..on Jimmys actual bday (oct 7) i had the big surprise planned. We went to chuckchansi and stayed the night. This was a big deal since shelby has never been away from both of us since she was born!! But we all made it and she was in great hands at my mom and dads house which she loves to go to anyway!! This is a pic of Jimmy on our way....We met some friends and ate and gambled and had so much fun!

this was our view from the room

the next day we got up drove back down to fresno and picked up shelby and went to the Big fresno fair!! Shelby got to ride her first real pony!! She loved it

then friday we left to go on our camping trip! Here is papa joe and lex trying to pretend to be asleep! It was a long car ride but the kids did awesome. We camped at Big sur and had so much fun!
