Kason turns 5!


Kason turned 5 yesterday! I can't believe he's 5. My parents came down on Saturday to watch his soccer game and go to lunch at Kason's favorite restaurant (Red Lobster so he can see the lobsters in the tank and eat shrimp scampi!) Then we came home and ate birthday cake. Kason, of course, wanted a shark cake and I did my best to oblidge. Am I good or what?

My parents gave Kason a set of Kid K'Nex, which he can make underwater creatures with. He absolutely loves them! Here are a few of the animals we've made.
We threw Kason a birthday party at Jumpin Jacks! 2 friends from primary came as well as his 2 cousins. They had a blast running around and jumping on all the huge inflatables, and when we paused for cupcakes and a drink, they were all sweaty and flushed. Kason quickly ripped his presents open, they all took a drink and licked the frosting off the cupcakes, and were off to jump again.
We sure love our sweet boy, and we're glad he finally has a sibling since he's so big now. But he informed me today that even though he' s growing up, he'll always be my snuggle-bug, even when he's 15. I think I'd better get that in writing.

Wow, what a birthday! And what great parents to pull off such events- birthdays are a lot of work for moms huh? Cute pictures, I am very impressed with the cake! I need your street address to send a very belated (but better late then never) gift to little Abby! Email me-I don't have your email address since the death of my computer.

The cake looks pretty good! I'm already trying to figure out a cake for Adam's birthday. Crazy I know.

What a fun birthday party! The kid with the dark hair looks pretty sweaty.

Wow! Already growing up so fast. Everytime my kids get older I think of one of my favorite songs, "Don't Blink."

Very cute cake. I'll have to remember that one.

You did a great job on the cake. The party was just the right size big enough to be a party but not too many kids. I love it.
They next time you turn around he will be a deacon and then you will turn around again and he'll be on his mission and then....... Scary uhhhh...
So on enjoy him every minute of the time you have him now. Some day he will have a wife and etc.
