JASON BIRTHDAY


Jason's birthday this year, fell on a Sunday. So - what did I do - well I tried to embarass him. I told all his priests and they made him a big crown and a set of ripped abs (drawn on a poster that fastened around his waste) They sang to him and tried to humiliate him all day at church. It was great. I even took little treats to his class and they had a little party for him.


We had a dinner (salad - he is no fun these days - hey 67 pounds and counting) and he did splurge with a texas sheet cake.




A scavenger hunt prepared by the kids lead him to a little birthday gift. All in all - he had a fun day (I hope) and got to relax a little. We sure do love him!

Yea for the update and what a great one too. Happy Belated Birthday Jason and yes, you look marvelous!!! Give me some hints and ideas on how to lose the 30 pounds that are taking over my body.

p.s. Maren thank you for the invite. I don't know what state of mind I'm going to be in. Doug ha already booked us a room at the hotel near the MTC. Too much crying may scare your children. But we intend to stop by and visit. As it gets closer we will be in contact with you so you know our plans.
