Jason Is 10 Today!

Jason William King hit the double digits today!  He had a fun birthday.  He was the first one up, other than John who, unfortunately, had to go to work.  He even helped me make his birthday breakfast.  He picked homemade monkey bread, breakfast casserole, and fruit salad for breakfast.  Gram came and took him out to lunch--and then shopping for his presents.  He is currently in to super heros, so he had a super hero birthday.  Gram helped him out in that department.  Jordan made him a pillowcase with material that has super heros all over it.  Jeremey bought him a SpiderMan tablet and pencils.  This has nothing to do with superheros, but I have to fit it in somewhere!  I made him a t-shirt pillow.  I had saved a favorite t-shirt of his for a couple of years.  I knew I wanted to do something with it, and decided to make it into a pillow.  It is a very simple project, but I was still proud anyway!  Of course Jordan had to help me with her sewing machine, but I managed to finish the project with not too much help from her.  He loved it.  I loved it too and decided I would like to make something for all of their birthdays--it's very rewarding.  Anyway, he had a fun birthday.  He is working on his super hero activity book right now and we are going to watch Scooby Doo meets BatMan in a little bit to close the night out.  Oh, to be 10.....

Happy Birthday, Jason!!

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Today John and Jason went to Tropicana Field to see a game between the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Chicago White Sox.  John won 2 tickets on a radio contest and he picked Jason to be his companion for the day.  They had a good time.  They tailgated their lunch before the game.  Here is a description of the day from Jason.....

"We went in and a security guard gave me 2 wristbands.  It's autographed by one of the players "Aki".  We found our seats and watched the game for a couple of innings, then took a bathroom break.  We got back to the seats and I was getting thirsty.  So we went and got a water bottle.  Then we went back to our seats and watched the game.  Daddy said we could go explore around the stadium, so we did.  We went up an escalater to the 2nd floor and looked around.  We got a view of the game from there.  We also saw a ray petting area.   We went up to the highest seating area (that is where this picture was taken).  Daddy made me hold on to the rail.  After the game, I got to run the bases.  That was fun.  After that I got 4 baseball cards.  I also got a shirt that says "Rays" on it.  Daddy asked me what my favorite part was.  I said it was running the bases and going up to the highest seating.    I had a fun day."

The final score......White Sox 6 --- Devil Rays 0
