Family Visits & Birthday Surprises

This past weekend Grandma Judy and Aunt Marilyn came to visit bringing Kate, Ellie, Wade, Piper and Jade with them! It was such a party and we are so glad they came. Mark has been so busy that it was nice to have some company to keep us from being lonely! The little kids had so much fun playing together. Kate, Ellie, and Zina giggled and giggled all night long. Cousins are the best!

Picnic at the Phoenix Zoo

I told Wilson to say cheese but he must have had a mouthful because this is what I got.

Talk about hard work for the adults! It was a pretty good way for the kids to see the Zoo though.

Giraffes! Wilson, Kate, Ellie, Zina & Wade

It was actually a super hot day and we were so exhausted by the time we got home from the Zoo that we put the kids in their swimming suits, gave them popsicles, and put the sprinkler under the tramp and then I think we all took naps. Everyone was happy! Zina is missing because she actually slept for 3 hours after we got home!

Mmm, Fresh salsa, water fun, and 100 degrees.

It was our anniversary so Grandma and Aunt Marilyn had a Pizza party with the kids while Mark and I ate out at a little Indian Bistro. It was fun to try something different and we even had a belly dancer for entertainment.

And of course with all the hot weather we couldn't pass up the pool. Thanks to our friends at San Lagos for letting us use their pool!

Cute little Piper chill'n while we swim.

And a cute picture of Zina all decked out for who knows what.

Oh ya, and because today is my birthday my Dr. let me have an early ultrasound and

IT'S a BOY!

We are all very excited, except Zina who was pretty disappointed, but I think she's getting over it. :)
