A Pirate's Life For Me...

...But not for McKay. McKay and I went on a quick trip to Utah to celebrate Aidan's 3rd birthday. McKay was loving the pirate party, which included a treasure hunt, until we got our party bag. I put all the great stuff on McKay, and that was alright for about two seconds. I'm so glad Joseph and Juli got this picture.


The whole rest of the party McKay was in a bad mood. No more pirate parties for McKay in the near future. The rest of the weekend was fun though. I love being with my family, but loved coming back to Danny.

Happy 28th Birthday, Danny!

On this wonderful day, we celebrated Danny's 28th birthday. Danny didn't want anything too fancy, so we just went out to dinner. I was going to make cupcakes, but decided it would be easier to just do a cake instead. I wasn't happy with my end results, so after dinner, we bought a Cold Stone ice-cream cake. My cake went straight in the trash. Oh well. The best thing about being 28 Danny says is that now he knows how to change his own oil for his car. A friend of ours taught him Tuesday night, and I'm still hearing, "I can change my own oil!" every few minutes. I'm proud though. Here are pictures of Danny's two cakes.

On Labor Day, we were craving some water that wasn't a swimming pool. A student of mine suggest Black Canyon Dam, which is about 30 minutes from us. We had such a good day. McKay loved the lake and beach area. He fell in the water a couple times, and that made him nervous. After a few minutes of playing on the beach, he was in the water again. I'm excited for Fall and Winter, but will miss the water fun.
