Because we celebrated so much...there will be lot's of pictures!!!

We began celebrating early in the morning.

Our little Family spent the day at the Zoo.

This is about the time Jack said "Hey bubs...look at his balls, they are HUGE!!!"

Dad and I wanted to DIE!

HAPPY Birthday Boy!!!

Lovin life!

Don't you just love it when your kid "poops" in public!

"US"

2 Lizards (at least thats what we paid for) and a baby!

Jaden and a monkey of some sort!

Poor Jackee was scared of all types of monkeys. He was being a good sport letting me take his picture and right when it flashed, the monkey moved and I caught this...LOL

Monkey see Monkey do!

When we left the Zoo we went home an unwrapped gifts!

Jensen got a new Big Wheel CARS bike!

He LOVED it, I can't believe how fast he got the hang of it!

When he gets tired...he walks it!

After the Zoo, Presents and lots of bike riding... you just need a good snooze!

We decided on Red Robin for Birthday dinner, Jensey planned on sleeping right thru!

Jack decided he would be our entertainment for the evening!

Finally he's awake after a little soda!

"I'm so glad...I woke up! Look at my dessert, it's BIGGER than me!

Here we are at breakfast, getting lot's of nutrients for another day of celebrating!

Dad decided that Jens should get "real" soda and not just rootbeer or sprite since it was "JENSEN DAY"

So, here he is at 9am drinking a Dr. Pepper!

Look at these TWINERS!!!
