We're an odd family once again...Happy 9th Birthday, Jason!

Jason turned 9, making my life simpler in that I don't have to think about the ages of my children for the next 4 months.  They're 3, 5, 7 & 9.  Beth thinks it's especially fun because 7 8 9 (I'll give you a minute to think about that one and laugh...) 

On his birthday, we had his favorite foods for breakfast and lunch (so much his favorite that I didn't get a picture before it was all gobbled up!)
Daddy came home at lunch time and we had a scavenger hunt for his presents.
It was so much fun.  There was a present at every stop (everything from a new box of crayons to a large Lego set.)  He had to go all over the house from Beth's bed...
to the bathroom...
and even outside (they were all impressed that we hid a present outside up in the tree.)
For dinner, we headed to Ruby's at Balboa Pier because even though it's January, Jason wanted to go to the beach.  We live only a few miles away, so why not?  Dinner was fun (although taking a picture of his big burger was too much.  Has he reached an age where he's embarrassed by mom???)
He received birthday phone calls throughout dinner...
And he got his own big yummy dessert!
And of course, we finished the evening at the beach...
Happy birthday, Jason!  Hope your day was all you hoped for...because you are above and beyond all we could have ever hoped for!  Thank you for being you :)

PS We had a party with friends at the bowling alley a week later but didn't really get many good pics because of the dark, I mean, "cool galaxy" lighting.  I suppose I'll do another post to show off his cool cake and a few of the pictures from that really fun afternoon, we'll see...
