Birthdays, and more Birthdays!!!

October 14th, I have to say is the best day of the year, and Mckayla would agree with me, and so would Aunt Monica, seeing how we were all born on the same day. It was a great day. This summer we got season passes to Six Flags, so for my birthday I wanted to get a babysitter and go roller coastin for the evening, but with moving and all, it just didn't seem like it was going to be feasible with all that we had to do. My sweet husband came home and surprised me with a date night with him to six flags for my birthday. He arranged getting a babysitter and got it all planned. He got home early from work, and we were set to go to the park. It always seems that there has to be a glitch to a seemingly perfect plan. We left our house at 5:30 pm and arrived at the park at 8:00pm. Just so you know it does not take that long to get to the park, but when you are trying to get there in the middle of traffic, it is inevitable. Needless to say it was a little frustrating. But once we got to the park we had lots of fun. We rode on Goliath twice, this was one of our favorites. I think Matt liked Superman the best.

Our last ride was on one of those white wooden rickety roller coasters. I was wanting so bad to go on this ride. Growing up in Utah I have loved going to Lagoon, and riding the white rickety roller coaster there. It is one of my favorite. So I thought maybe this one would be the same, boy was I wrong. It was one of the most painful rides ever. It was such a bad choice, and to end on such a note was just wrong. All in all we had a good time.

Mckayla turned 5yrs old. Where does the time go. It truly seems like yesterday that she arrived to our family. I couldn't imagine life without her. She is so special. Love her to death. Anyways, I think she enjoyed her birthday. This year it turned out to be a Sleeping Beauty birthday. She loves to dress up, and that is what she requested to have, was a sleeping beauty dress. Since the movie also just came out, and that is one we have not seen, we got sleeping beauty movie, and diamond castle movie. We were able to do some fun things on her b-day. We went to lunch with dad at PF Chang's( this was more for me than for Mckay), then we went home and decorated cookies. After that we went to a park and had a picnic with some friends. We came home and had a watched sleeping beauty and ate the cookies that they decorated. It turned out to be a good day.
