Connor's 10th Birthday!

Friday we went to Energy days at the fairgrounds to celebrate the 4th of July.  I've never been before and it was a lot of fun.  They had all sorts of bounce houses, and one was a huge bubble pit.  The kids loved it and were slipping and sliding all over the place.  At one point we lost Matthew and ended up finding him on the biggest bouncer/slide they had!  After playing for awhile we went to Eric and Shelley's to watch the fireworks from their backyard.  Debbie made some almond bark popcorn and they have a really fun backyard so the kids were excited to play until the fireworks started.  The next day was Nicole's birthday, so we went with Derek, Nicole, Derk, Deb, Rhea, Azella, and the kids to Huntington Lake.  Derek took all the kids (even Matthew) on the boat so Nicole, Kinlee, and I sat on the beach and played in the sand.  We barbequed and visited and then headed home so Rory could go to work.  

Connor's birthday was on Sunday and he was so excited to open presents he woke up at 5:00 am.  I wouldn't let him get up that early, but when Rory got home from work at 6:00 am Connor was ready to go.  He opened his present from Rory, about 150 baseball cards.  He was so excited and looked at every single one.  He couldn't wait to open the rest of his presents so I didn't make him.  That afternoon he begged and pleaded to go to the lake with Kyle and Candee and their kids, so he spent most the day at the lake.  He even wake boarded and went out of the wake for the first time.  They got home pretty late, so we didn't have ice cream cake until around 9:00, I felt so bad because Kinlee had fallen asleep waiting for Connor and I knew she would be so disappointed she didn't get to sing and have cake with him. I made sure to save her a big piece and the next morning she ate it and sang Happy Birthday to Connor.

Monday we took the kids to Jump On It in Lindon to celebrate again.  It was so much fun!  We jumped, and jumped, and jumped!  The kids loved throwing themselves into the foam pits and didn't stop running the whole time we were there.  They even tried the bungee jumping.  Rory and Connor were able to do front and back flips but Kadee was too nervous so she just jumped. Afterword we went to the mall and grabbed some dinner.  It was such a great day and a great way to celebrate Connor's birthday.
