Birthday Marathon

I Promised myself last year that we would not be doing another marathon birthday for Matayia. But somehow it happened again this year. The Marathon started on the 16th. Matayia and Kaylee (one of Matayia's friends) decided to have a joint birthday party since their birthdays are a few days apart and they both wanted to have a "water slide party" Wednesday was the last day before school started so it seemed to be the best day to celebrate with friends. The party was a hit, rent a slide, add some water and 13 little girls and boys will be entertained for hours!!



Fast forward to Saturday...
Because Miranda was in town we decided to go to Logan for the weekend, so it made sense to celebrate Matayia's birthday with the family. We partied at the Logan pool on Saturday and on Sunday night we enjoyed Matayia's favorite meal of Steak. Grandma baked her a cake, which her and Matayia beautifully decorated. We sang happy birthday and blew out the candles.



Fast forward to Monday (actually the 24th)
Every year we let Matayia decide what she wants to do on her birthday for dinner and for the second year in a row, we have gone to the Mayan. Though Greg and I never enjoy the food, we go there because our kids always have so much fun. We enjoyed a cool dessert that came out on fire!! Wethought it was so cool and the girls fought over who got to eat the firework.



I can't believe my little girl is 7. That seems so old, I often tell her to stop growing up and that I want her to stay little forever. For some reason she just keeps growing up. I love Matayia, I Love her sweet spirit in our family. I(secretly) love watching her grow up. I couldn't imagine my life without her. I love you Matayia!!! Happy Birthday!!!
