Jason's birthday

Some like to celebrate their birthday for a day, couple days, a week.... well for my sweet husband he started mentioning his birthday back in February when he bought my birthday present. We were down in California visiting my parents and he saw a 
hard-drive he wanted for his birthday in MAY. I agreed to buy it but that he couldn't use it until his birthday. I don't think he thought I was serious but I was. I hide it away so he couldn't find it and start using it. Also when we were in California we went to the Cheesecake factory and had Red Velvet Cheesecake. He mentioned to me that he wanted the same cake for his birthday.
Here are the events that happened leading up to Jason's birthday. The Friday before his birthday we went out to Cardston to have a bon fire and also celebrate his birthday with his mom and some of my family. We had a fun night sitting by the fire, eating smores that Jason's mom brought and chatting until it got too cold out. Jason got his favorite present being rounds of GOLF at Evergreen from his mom.

Monday night we went out to Tony Romas to celebrate his free birthday dinner. For some reason we still ended up spending 30 dollars. - Not really a free dinner but it was nice to go out.

So finally May 17th is here - the real birth"DAY". It started with breakfast in bed, presents through out the day in random places for him, golfing with myself, my Dad, Ryan,  and then back to our place for dinner and cake. 
Red Velvet Cheesecake: "Don't mess it up Carmen" were the words that Jason said to me all week leading up to his birthday. I told him he would just have to eat whatever cake I make and to pretend that he likes it no matter what. LOL. All kidding aside I searched website after website, blog after blog and finally came up with one that I thought would be the best.

I took a picture of the cake before the icing went on. I started the cake the night before because the cheesecake was to be chilled and frozen overnight.


Mel and kids gave Jason some mechanical gloves and his favorite treats, M&M's, Ryan gave him a head cover for his golf club.


For a boy that doesn't like birthdays he seemed to enjoy his own and the presents that he received.

My parents gave Jason a portable DVD to take on our trips.
Cherisse and Tyler also came to celebrate Jason's birthday. Cher was kind enough to cut Jason's hair for a kind birthday gift.


He was pretty excited to FINALLY get his external hard drive

He was just a little excited to cut into the cake. He is so cute
Thank you to all those who celebrated Jason's birthday on the weekend and on his actually birthday. We love you all and are so grateful for  your love and support.
Jason needed some help from Lucy. She loves her Uncle Jason
Doesn't it look pretty?
I love this guy. I hope you had a happy birthday hun and I love you so much.
