Where did 6 years go?

So I was informed last night that I was a bad mom because Heidi has a post about Kace's birthday before I do, his own mother. I really had started it, but wanted to get everyone else's pictures first..........oh, well, mine will have to do.
I can't believe my Kace is 6, where does the time go? The past few weeks he has been wanting (begging, whining, crying, etc) to go the the aquarium in Sandy, I had told him we had to wait until his dad could go with us because he would really like that. So FINALLY (kace's words) we were able to go. We went down on Friday (his bday was on Saturday) and went to the aquarium and then stayed the night at (my) grandparents Spencer's.

I would have had more pictures of Kace, but he was RUNNING through the aquarium like nothing else. We were out of there in less than an hour. He hardly wanted to stop, but oh well it was his day!

In the morning we met my entire family at IHOP for a birthday breakfast. Kace opened up his presents there and enjoyed all the attention in the world. One who did not enjoy it, was Ty, OH BOY, WAS HE ONERY! For some reason that kid picks the WRONG time to get sick (and of course it was when we saw Heidi and Clayton so now he is NEVER going to get cousins because of all the crying he did........he REALLY isn't like that ALL the time!)

The present opening. About in June I saw Kace throwing his toy(s) around and asked him why he was doing that....his answer........"I don't want them anymore." This translates into me SPOILED BRAT so I told him that I wasn't going to get him any toys for his birthday this year because he just decides that he doesn't want them anymore. Well I stuck to my guns and didn't get him any toys. Clothes, movie and soccer "stilts" (they are cleats, but for some reason Kace keeps telling everyone he got stilts.........don't know where that came from!) Although everybody else did.

After IHOP we went to the BYU/UCLA game, am I glad Kace picked that to do, because it was what I really wanted to do! In case you haven't heard (I don't know how you couldn't hear about it though) BYU KILLED UCLA 59-0. We went to the tailgate party and Kace got to throw a football in the hoop, spin the wheel for a free milkshake, shoot a basket, etc. He had fun, but it was HOT! And then for Nate's favorite part of the day, we stopped on the way home and got some ducks for his pond (next post)

Kace wanted to go and give the players high fives when they came out of the locker room so we went and WAITED. Needless to say Kace got bored. Nate did too, I am pretty sure, but I was surprised when he said that watching them come out and run onto the field made him miss playing football and wished he could play again.

Kace's hand kept being smashed against the person he was standing by. And by person I mean 25 year old man. You would think that it would be just kids wanting to give them high 5's, but NO they are mostly adults. I know most of you are probably thinking that I, Rachel probably still does that too, but NO I HAVEN'T DONE THAT SINCE I WAS A KID, come on people.

And then on Sunday we enjoyed my cousin, Tyson's farewell and then went over to Nate's parents for a nice family birthday dinner. When I asked Kace what he wanted for his bday meal he said, "mac and cheese." Typical. So I said, "steak or chicken?" So we had steak as well as this really good home made mac and cheese. He had a great birthday!
