Today my baby turned 8. I can still remember walking into the hospital on Sunday night at about 8 PM afraid they were going to send me home (they did the night before) and worried about becoming a Mom ( I get tears just thinking back on it). Now I'm an old pro, 3 kids later, I got it!
So the BIG day really was that- A HUGE DAY for her. Dan decided that he was going to take her out 1/2 day today to do something fun. Well at least that was the original plan. 1/2 day??? shoot the girl only went to school for an hour! He picked her up at 10:15, they went to the ARCH, went on the tour and up in the arch, went on a helicopter ride, then off to the zoo they went. They got home at 6:30 PM, we down loaded the camera to see the fun pictures and off to dinner we went. She picked ETHYL's, the kids like to play on the outdoor playground. Grandma and Grandpa Drezek joined us for the fun.
She was so excited last nigh she could not go to sleep, it was 11 PM before her little body finally shut down. And jumped out of bed at the first sound made in the house! Tonight, well that was a totally different story!! She couldn't keep her poor eyes open after that day with Dad.
I am so glad she got to do that! She kept telling her dad "this is my best birthday EVER". Oh yeah, we forgot the presents: ipod shuffle, digital camera, 2 pairs of PJ's, ipod docking station, ear rings and 2 new webkinz. That was just from Dad, Mom, Emily and Danny! Grandma and Grandpa gave her CASH!!!!
OH MY FORGOT! When they were at the ZOO, they went to the sea lion show and the man picked her as his helper to feed them and do tricks with them. I am posting some pictures of her helping, her in the arch, her helicopter ride and some of her other fav's
