Birthday Boy!

Casey had his 26th birthday yesterday! To celebrate I surprised him with a weekend get away to Magic Mountain... his favorite! It was the first time leaving Lane overnight ( a big thanks to Stephanie and Travis). We spent all day at Casey's "happiest place on earth" then the next day we drove down to Hollywood for a few hours before our plane left. It was a short but definitely sweet trip!

no I am not in love with Matt Damon, it was just the first one I saw with a familiar name

For his birthday dinner we went to the Melting Pot for the first time with Travis and Sunni. It was an interesting dinner but I would go back for the chocolate fondue in a heart beat!!

What a fun trip! We love to go on trips, but I think it's harderst on me leaving the kids with someone. Last year for valentine's I surprised Trevor with a trip to Rome and I have no regrets! We try to get away at least once a year just the 2 of us for a weekend or so. The more kids the harder it is to make the plans...enjoy!

Ohhhh SHELLEY I FORGOT THAT THIS WAS THIS WEEKEND!!! I'm so glad you took these great pictures for us to see. What a blast and a perfect getaway. I'm glad you guys had fun. We almost came by today like 2 different times. We should have. Plans this week? Glad you are home safe and sound.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASEY!!

I'm so jealous! I LOVE Six Flags! Last time I had the chance to go there I thought I might be pregnant so we ended up not risking it! Good thing cuz the day after we got home I found out I WAS. Glad you had a good time. Still jealous though....

Shelley! You hooked it up for the b-day boy! Great job! I love Cali it's always fun. I love your hair to. I ruined mine today, long story but I look hideous. I'm jealous of your trip and your cute hair!

Cute new blog! This is the first time I have checked in on anybody's blog in weeks! Glad you guys had a fun little get away! Dinner was awesome! Thanks so much for coming!

That's cool! I didn't realize Magic Mtn was that close to Hollywood. Hmmm...maybe I can drag Jesse there after all! I really need to go back to Magic Mtn. I've been there twice and both times have either had a one month old with me or was pregnant. So it's not really my "happiest place on earth" at all!

Hey turned 26 just a few days before Casey, why didn't you take me to Magic Mt ? I would have settled for Sea World as well =)

Looks like you guys had a fun time!! Shaun wishes I did stuff like that. Quit making the rest of us look bad =)

I was looking at the picture from the melting pot and Brynlee said "Hey two twins!" She thought you and Sunni were twins too :) I told her you did have a twin also but that wasn't her. Happy Birthday, Casey. Tell him he has one amazing wife, which I'm sure he already knows and agrees!

It seems like you are always doing such fun things! I love Disneyland, but unfortunately Doug hates it because he hates lines! I will have to suprise Doug sometime and take him on a fun trip like that.
