Jason’s 4th Birthday

Jason had an awesome fun-filled birthday on Wednesday. When I came downstairs that morning this is how I found the three big kids:

Not sure what they were doing (the TV wasn’t on)… maybe they were just admiring the awesome banner I made (I copied a banner my SIL purchased).

Justin was able to take the day off and made pancakes, bacon and hash browns for breakfast. Jason opened up his present from Grandma Kesler – to be honest he had no clue what a Transformer was, but it didn’t take long for him to become a fan. The girls (and Justin) have also spent time transforming Jason’s new toys.

This was also the first time we’ve heard our sweet, innocent little boy make shooting noises (thanks for that Mom) we now have a bona fide boy on hands.

Justin felt it necessary that Jason have a scooter of his own and what better time to give him one than on his birthday. Jason was thrilled.

After Katie took her morning nap we heading down to Auburn to pick up Jason’s two best buddies for an afternoon at a bouncy place. We knew the boys would have fun and that Jason would be thrilled to spend some time running around with his friends. Jason sure has missed seeing these two boys since we moved.

There’s no validity in the saying “threes a crowd” when it comes to these boys – they were inseparable.


They spent most of the time going down the big slide – over and over, and over…

I threw this little outing together way last minute and didn’t expect the boys to bring gifts for Jason, but they did and Jason loved everything.

Mitchell gave Jason a bat, ball, and a bubble wand.

Jacob gave Jason a giant lollipop and a Cars book that the boys were mesmerized with while they waited for their ice cream at Sam’s Club afterward.

We invited Justin’s family over that evening for dinner and cake and ice cream, but since we were running late we resorted to picking up pizza at Little Caesar’s (who did not live up to their “hot and ready” slogan).

After dinner there were more presents

A big ball, water gun and spinney toy from his cousins and cars, clothes, and a movie from Grandma and Grandpa Fletcher

And here’s the most pitiful birthday cake I’ve ever made for my kids and the adorable four year old boy that thought it was fabulous.

LOVE the pictures of them at the party, especially the one of all 3 of them coming down the slide. So cute! Looks like they had a blast and all 3 of them together is so adorable. Cute, cute boys getting way too big.

And seeing Jason at church last week and then at the party has really messed Mitchell up- he is so confused! At church yesterday he kept talking about how Jason was going to be there and he was going to sit by him and he even saw "Jason's van" as we pulled into the parking lot (Summer's van). It was a harsh reality when Jason was NOT at church.

Love the birthday banner by the way- yes you are right- it IS awesome. I noticed it on the birthday post on Jason's actual birthday and loved it then, too! Way to go! If you are ever bored, you could make me one! :)
