I had to twist Amy's arm to go for a ride...she liked it I think! She's so lovely! I really really love that woman!
As you can see in the video below...Dad took it out on the High school parking lot to see what it could do...fast!
I was very happy that Dad did not get the chance to sell the "Boat-tail" yet, I really really wanted to go for a ride in it! It was a BLAST! that thing is pretty quick...for it's age. Just an experience to ride in something so unique...with someone so unique!
I know you all might get tired of me putting pictures of little Esther...sorry...tuff luck...I love her, she's cute, and I just like looking at her and her mother... so deal with it!
Esther got her first taste of cake...vanilla with Chocolate frosting...she loved it...but a couple of hours later we found out that her body does not love it. She broke out in a full body rash...poor little thing, but the next morning she was feeling great and happy!
Justin is going to be such a ladies man when he grows up...he already has his main move down. He grabs the female by her hair and yanks her head toward his mouth...kisses and tackles...it's flawless!
Esther got many great gifts, and she said to us later that she had a great time and just really enjoyed the time with family and friends.
Esther loving on her doggie' that she got from Great Grandma Freeman...and Papa looking...well...."special"
So Esther's birthday was on the 18th. We had the chance to go to Centralia so that we could be with family and friends (not all, but some). It was great, we had a fun time...but missed those who couldn't make it! (or the ones we forgot to invite...sorry...I'm absent minded).
Esther getting in touch with her "ragga" side...this is pretty much the only hat that she will keep on her head...goofy lookin'
Out as a fam on the tandem...Esther kept falling asleep and boking Amy in the back with her helmet.
We took a trip out to Mist OR for our church's campout, we didn't camp but went for the day...fun drive
Amy took this great picture of Esther looking out at all of the butterflys in the special exhibit..."Winged wonders".
Esther and Amy looking on to the insain elephants. I think they have gone crazy from captivity...the one kept standing with his head against the column while the other one walked in circles under the cover...wacky things...no wonder they have small brains
So as we were pulling out of the house I asked...are we forgetting anything!? We both said "No"... We get to the zoo and realize that we don't have a stroller or her backpack... so we took an early lunch and got a little umbrella stroller...worked great...
Well the day has come. We have been waiting to hear what Esther's first word would be, and she said it while looking at this guy! Funny huh!? We were sitting pointing at him and laughing then Esther just blurted out...clear as could be... "GRANDPA"!
That first zoo picture was in the Sea Lion's cave...underwater. This one is in with all the birdies. Esther had fun...kind of had to watch out for the birds squirting poopie everywhere. Esther is offering her fingers as a treat for the birdies.
