I can't believe that my baby boy is about to turn 5 in a couple of days! Ugghhhh!!
We had his birthday party at a local water park.
It was not as stress-free as I had hoped!
We were very blessed to have my mom, niece, & nephew in town to celebrate with us.
The party didn't start until the evening, so that was a good thing.
On the way - was Friday 5 o'clock traffic :(
Plus, it was "Rot Ralley" weekend :(
Then we passed two events where police and ambulances were involoved :(
Which = we were late to our own party!!
For all of those that know me well, I do NOT like to be late!
So, I was already stressed!
We got there, and with 2 minutes, the lifeguards blew the whistles...
The pool was "contaminated", ie: somebody pooped in the pool :(
REALLY?!?!?
Luckily, Clarence showed up with the pizza :)
OK,... let's eat!!
Everyone's happy! :)
Now, everyone's done eating and still we can't go in, the lifeguards have been telling us "5 more minutes" for the past 20 minutes :(
My friend, Carie, suggests we do cake :)
It was a HIT!
HOORAY :)
Right after we were done, the whistle blew and back to the water :)
Now, here are pics from the party:
Cooper and his cousin, Cylas

It's Cake Time!
His theme was Mario, Luigi, and Legos (HE picked it out!)
So, we did cupcakes... a HUGE thank you to Bridget for the cupcake stand!
YUMMY!
Posin' Poolside...
I think I am losing my dress!
Wondering and waiting for the water to open up!
Then, about 20 minutes before the end of the party,
the lifeguards blew their whistle and we had to get out.... AGAIN.
This time for lightening! :(
By this point, everyone decided to head home.
It was a great party, only because Cooper had a GREAT time! :)
BIG Thank-yous to:
My mom for everything, Daisy for help with the kids and carrying everything!, Granny for help with the cupcakes, Bridget for taking my camera and capturing some pictures, and EVERYBODY that braved the traffic, the poop, and the lightening to come and celebrate Cooper's 5th Birthday!
