Jason birthday began with his birthday breakfast request –
homemade cinnamon rolls!
Little brother approved
Jason had been hemming and hawing over what to do for his
birthday party for months. We
finally landed on a laser tag birthday party. He had five of his friends able to come, which would have
meant I’d need Justin to go with us and drive another car to fit everyone. Thankfully one of the Mom’s wanted to come with her two boys
and she had that one extra seat in her van we needed so we could all ride
together in one car. In hindsight
it was actually nice to have another adult with me in the car – a 35 minute
ride each way with five excited boys can get a little crazy.
I was a little nervous the boys would get stuck playing with
a bunch of older more experience players so we arrived just as it opened – in
fact the doors were still locked.
Just as we got them all registered to play a big group walked in. The gal knew we were hoping for a
private game so she made the other group wait until we were done.
We went to a nearby park afterward for snacks, gifts, and
play. I’d forgotten how massive
the play structure was. The boys
could have stayed for hours.
Justin prepared Jason’s requested birthday dinner, Kung Pao Spaghetti,
that evening and then we all enjoyed birthday dessert(s). Mint brownies and cupcakes. Abigail made the cupcakes extra special by coloring the
cake green and blue.
Little brother approved.
Jason’s stats at eight are:
Height: 4 ft, 7.5 in (98.62 percentile)
Weight: 67 lbs (84.21 percentile)
Jason enjoys all things sports; including baseball, soccer
and football. He is looking
forward to trying basketball this winter and says he’d like to try lacrosse
this spring instead of baseball.
There’s a freshman boy in our neighborhood that comes by pretty much
every week to ask Jason to join them at the park for some sort of sport. Jason is by far the youngest, but
apparently he keeps up well enough that they keep asking him to join the game.
Jason likes to play with Legos, Pokémon cards, and
games. Katie and Jason often have
multiple games spread all over the bonus room. He also recently started taking piano lessons.
Jason is a smart kid and does well in school, especially
math. His favorite thing about
school is, of course, recess. He
has a fun group of friends in the neighborhood and we’re excited for him to
develop some closer friendships with church friends now that he will be in
scouts.
Happy Birthday J-Man!
