ES's Birthday weekend!!!

For ES's birthday, she wanted to go to the Zoo....so off we went in 102 degree heat! YIKES!!!! She wanted to take her best buddy and cousin with us. Thats why we have 5 kids instead of 4. They really love being together. So anyways, we braved the heat and went and were there for 5 hours. Even though it was hot, it was still a lot of fun. We were all pretty tired when we got hoe. That didn't stop Kirk and I from taking the kids to the babysitters and going to see Harry Potter. Good movie! Dark, but good!

Es posin on the elephant. We went to the elephant show.....kind of boring. The kids didn't make it all the way through.

Around the zoo they have these huge fans that blow a nice mist. Needless to say....that is where we spent most of our time. It felt soooo good. R loved it. We had to literally pull her away from it. She is so silly!!!

R loved the Lion water fountain.

Their favorite watering whole!!! It was soooooo hot!!

I love the orangatang(sp?) They were being so playful with everyboby that day. The little baby was too adorable. I love their faces. They are huge. I just wanted hug and play with it.

Hiding in some prentend animal house. Forgot which kind of animal.

Opening presents. I asked her what she wanted and she said Ballerina slippers, Sponge Bob movie and a water noodle(not sure what thats about) so thats what she got. Not to hard to buy for yet. Of course all the kids have to be in on the opening of the presents.

She wanted to show off her new Ballerina slippers. She likes to try and walk around on her toes when she wears them. Wouldn't that be crazy if she turned out to be a Ballerina? You never know.

Love my ES!!!

ES wanted birthday cookies instead of cake, so I made cookies and put a candle in 5 of them. She thought that was fun. She woke up the next morning and asked if she was still the birthday girl. Really hated shooting that one down, but she took it well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ES!!
