Steve-O's Birthday Bash!


OOhhhh...what's next??......
Roscoe was a great help to Steve with opening presents!

Who me?? I didn't do anything.....

Me & Ross The Boss

Roscoe tuckered out after helping open presents...notice he fell asleep with paper in his mouth!!


This past weekend we celebrated Steve's birthday! I planned a surprise trip to Sandusky, Ohio for us to go to Cedar Point. Cedar Point is about 6 hours away from us and is basically like a Six Flags....on steroids....it has some of the fastest, highest, most intense rollar coasters in the country. We spent all day Friday there, running around like little kids riding all the best coasters. The cool thing was, since we went on a Friday, the lines really weren't that long for the rides..it was great! The first ride we went on, Millenium Force, was crazy! It was about 350 feet up, and then straight down going 93 miles per hour. Of course, Steve wanted to sit in the first row, and of course..being his birthday and all, I couldn't deny him. How much do I love this man???!!!! So we did it--and it was awesome!! We were both freaked out but loved it and ended up riding it again later on in the day. Another of the best rides we went on was Top Thrill Dragster. This ride was not for the weak of heart. You started at a dead stop and then zoomed to 120 miles per hour in about 4 seconds....it shot you straight up 420 feet high and then dropped you down (still going 120 mph) at a 80 degree angle. It was so crazy fast--the whole ride was only 17 seconds long! The first time we went on it, I was close to tears, I was so scared, but it ended up being one of my favorite rides and I was begging to go on it again at the end of the day! It definitely fulfills your need for speed! We had the funnest day! If any of you guys are looking for an intense time, or want to test yourself and conquer your fears check out www.cedarpoint.com If you click on a rollar coaster you can watch a POV (point-of-view video) and see just how fast and high they are! It was so much fun!!
We spent Saturday hanging out by Lake Erie and taking in the sights. We saw Marblehead Lighthouse and took lazy naps by the lake. Then we started our drive back home, stopping for Steve's birthday dinner in Cincinnati at the Precinct. I had made reservations there to surprise him! It was one of the most amazing restaurants we have ever been too. It is an old police station house that has been made into one of the classiest, most delicious steakhouses ever! The food was spectacular! We thouroughly enjoyed ourselves!
After dinner we headed home and Steve's birthday was made complete when the Dodgers, BYU and the Trojans all won their games!! He was one happy man!
Steve is usually the one spoiling me, so it was so fun to plan this and surprise him! Happy Birthday sweetheart! I love life with you!

I can't believe Roscoe is getting so big! Huge! We hope that Steve had a great birthday (and that he got our card, even if it was lame). Looks like you guys had a great time.
