Happy 2nd Birthday Jase!

May 3rd was Jase's 2nd birthday - my how the time has flown. We had a nice pizza dinner and Jase got to open his presents from Dad and Mom.

The following morning we left for Michigan to have a party for Jase with family and friends there. The weather was cooler and brisk. Jase loved getting his presents from Grandpa and Grandma (1st photo) and Great-Gramma (2nd) and also loved playing with Great-Gramma's dog, Molly, a one year old Shih Tzu. Jase's favorite outside toy was a ride-on train and the tricycles, although they were a little too big for him still.

Jase and Katelyn (Jase's cousin, 2) eating lunch - who really wants to eat a sandwich and chips when you can have dill pickles and oreo cookies...

The highlight of the weekend was Jase's party on Saturday! He had a train cake (one engine, 3 cars, and a caboose) and had a difficult time keeping his fingers out of the frosting (each time he walked by, he poked it).








Everyone had a lot of fun watching the little ones run around and play and have a good time. Below is Lucy, Jase's 2nd cousin - almost 3, waiting for cake., followed by Jase, Haley (2nd cousin - 5), and Katelyn.



It was great to see family and friends, most of whom we haven't seen since Christmas.



Some of the presents Jase recieved included a scooter, puzzles, roller skates, clothes, remote control car, bug catchin' kit, Deigo jeep, Lego helicopter, bowling set, fishing tackle/tool box, and more. He wasn't too interested in his clothes, but he thought the clothes hanger made a terrific hammer.
