October

I can't believe that today is the last day of October..... This month has been so much fun!


We headed to the beach early in the month. But.....the night before we left my lovely parents and lovely husband, and lovely entire extended family had a surprise 30th birthday party for me! It was so great seeing all of my friends and family in the same room. And, I did suspect something, but I kept trying to dismiss it. I kept thinking it was SO conceited of me to think that the pretend birthday for my aunt might be for me!!! I am not crazy about being 30, but I sure did feel special this birthday!!! Of course, I have NO pictures from that night!


We had a great time at the beach. October is a great month to go. Although, this time it was really hot! I've posted way to many pictures.... And, some of them I was wondering why I even thought they were blog worthy. I actually write down the picture numbers on a piece of paper and it makes uploading them so much faster! I wrote the numbers down a few weeks ago. Who knows what I was thinking then???

And, I wanted to clarify on the baby's sex..... A few have asked me if we looked in the envelope that said boy or gil. And, here's the answer- NO!!! The envelope is now locked in Jim's safe. Only he has a key. (that sounds so dramatic, doesn't it!) Neither of us have looked or even feel tempted to! So, didn't want anyone to think that we knew and weren't telling. I think things like that are so silly!!!

And, finally Halloween. I'll post pictures after I get a few more tonight. I'm always glad when November 1st is here. It means Thanksgiving and Christmas are on their way. And, not to mention that tonight will be the 4th time the girls get dressed up!!

Emery looking so old!

Jim's favorite part of the week....a golf cart!

Ready for a ride with aunt Laura and Bacon. Please notice how Jim is strapping in Emery. Thank goodness for Mr. Safety!!

I'll probably get in trouble for posting this one.... But, Jim has been so great lately! Not that he normally isn't!! Ha! He totally spoiled me on and around my birthday as well as working so hard around our house lately. Not sure when the man has gotten a break!!Thank you Daddy/Jim!!
