McKinley's BIrthday Party July 2, 2010

So, I know some of my post are out of order, but I would rather that than nothing at all. I did not have a camera for a while because I had lost my camera battery charger. I finally broke down and bought a new one this month. So now I can post what has been happening!

These are pictures from McKinley's 3rd Birthday party. We had a swimming party at our house that she was so excited about. Well if any of you have lived in or visited Eagle Mountain you know that the wind here is horrendous! Well the morning of McKinley's Birthday we woke to wind storms which is normal for EM. Well they settled a little so we put up the swimming pool and the Blow-up water slide. Well everyone came over and was having a great time, even with the wind starting to act up. Everyone had gathered close to the BBQ outback to do water balloons and next thing we know the blow up water slide has been picked up by the wind storm and is headed our direction.....next thing we know the slide is on top of us and the BBQ was knocked over. I was just positive that someone was under the BBQ. Luckily for me know one was! We only has one minor owie, that was fixed quickly with a bandaid. I was so grateful that no one was on the slide or seriously injured! We ended up inside opening gifts and having a bowling tournament with squeeze-its and a ball McKinley had got for her Birthday. It will definitely be a party I never forget!
Opening up gifts inside the house!
I asked McKinley if she wanted popsicles or cake and she said popsicles. Well when we started singing she said, "mom where is my cake and candles?" Boy, did I feel like a terrible mom. Next year wether she says she wants cake or not I am going to get her a cake.
My cute birthday Girl!

These are the balloons that Oliver picked out all by himself for McKinley. I thought he did PERFECT! I mean what little girl doesn't love pink and purple balloons!
