Matthew is 5!!!!! (yesterday)

What a fun day we had yesterday for Matthew's birthday!  We were still busy unpacking and recovering from our trip to Lake Powell (which I hope to blog soon but Matthew's birthday was more important) but we managed to have a bunch of our friends over for a bbq (good excuse to use up food leftover from LP and play outside).  Luckily, it was a beautiful day and we had our new waterslide up (which we share with some of our friends).  The kids had a great time.  I didn't get any pictures of the kids on the waterslide - Brecken was having a rough day.  Otherwise, it was a lot of fun.  Matthew is into Power Rangers these days, the Operation Overdrive version so he got a Power Rangers cake.  Of course, he wanted his cake to be the Power Ranger that is different colors - Tyzonn, Mercury Ranger.  So, I stayed up Sunday night decorating it.  It took forever but it was fun and worth it - Matthew loved it!  He got his big present before we went to Powell - the new Mario Cart with 4 wheels.  So, on his birthday he got some fun things from our friends, a new game, and a few Power Ranger accessories (a tracker, walkie talkies, and the Red Rangers sword thingy).  All in all, it was a great day.  Now I just have to finish getting ready for his party that is tomorrow with a few of his little friends - more Power Ranger fun!
