Makenzie's 4th birthday

I decided to throw Makenzie a prince and princess pizza party for her 4th birthday. I was feeling really guilty because she's never had one. It was fun- especially all the decorations. Thankfully my friend Amy made the cake (I don't do cakes) which turned out GREAT and another friend picked up the pizza. All the kids had a great time although it was way too hot by the end of the party. Funny thing- all the kids went home and as I was cleaning up I noticed that the princess castle pinata was still hanging above the table. great, just great. Luckily, Amy came back to pick up some stuff and so her kids helped Ty and Kenzie break it open.

The Santa Cruz Boardwalk

Every Monday and Tuesday night during the summer, the boardwalk has 75 cents night where the rides and hotdogs/drinks are only 75 cents. We've already gone a couple of times so far and are planning on going at least once more before the summer is over. Makenzie and Tyler LOVE the rides. Unfortunately, Mike has to do double duty a lot since I can pretty much only go on the ferris wheel and sky ride.
This is Makenzie's favorite ride. It's called Rock'N'Roll and zooms around in a circle forwards and then backwards. She always has a smile on her face for the entire ride.
