Jason's 31st Birthday Extravaganza

I sent Jason on a Treasure Hunt for his 31st birthday....his birthday is actually Wednesday, but we got together with my family and Jason's family to celebrate his birthday...so, the idea was, he had to follow the clues to lead him to the next one.....some were at a store, some were just at a location......here's the path he followed!

CLUE #1 - We started at home and it lead him to........

Clue #2 - .....Elmira Sports.....thanks to this young gentleman who helped me out!! This clue led him to......
Clue #3 - .....the mailbox at the Elmira Arena.....which led him to............
Clue #4 - .....the Scrapping Turtle in St. Jacobs.......thanks Hannah for helping out!! This clue led us to........

Clue #5 - Peter Hallman Ball Yard.......which then led us to..............

Clue #6 - .....East Side Mario's in Waterloo......Jason used to work here about 6 years ago......and Thanks Michelle!! (our server!).......everyone met us there for lunch......

Thanks for coming to make this a special day everyone!!! My inlaws came to visit from Barrie and Parry Sound.....and my parents joined us! They were all in on the surprise!

Jason's Birthday Dessert!

Clue #7 - Jason's last clue was at the sign at Tim Horton's in town here...which led him home to cake and presents!!


His birthday "cake".....don't mind the Boston Creme on top with a bite out of it.....Jason was a little eager......



Opening Presents....everyone gathered around!!

OH YEAH!!!! And........there was a big announcement too!!!!!

(Take a look at Trenton's shirt!!!!!)

We'll have an addition to the family around June 5th of next year!! We've kept it a secret for a month now!! It was really hard to keep it a secret....but we thought everyone was there.....and it was a good time to let Trenton tell them!!! (EXCEPT IT TOOK A LITTLE LONGER FOR THEM TO CATCH ON THAN WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD.............)

Thanks for coming everyone! I hope you had a great time and we really appreciate you helping celebrate Jason's birthday......

BBQ Pizza....

Okay.....so I tried making pizza on the BBQ last night!! AND IT WORKED!!! Not trying to brag here, but I thought it tasted pretty good....THANKS TIM for the recipe! (and Jenn!!)


Here's our toppings....yes, I know there's a lot of meat but Jason likes meat lovers pizza and seeing that is was personal pizza night, I thought I'd make him that! (We usually don't eat that cuz I don't like that much meat. But he let me put some veggies on it too!)


Trenton INHALED it! He loved his pizza! Yes, he had his own pizza! But seriously, he devoured it! I'm so glad he liked it! I think I'll have to make it again!


This was mine! I have tomatoes, red peppers, mushrooms, fresh basil from my little garden, and a little bit of ground beef.



Enjoying supper...yuppers....outside! It was just too nice outside to sit inside. We HAD to eat outside! And yes, Jason and I sat at Trenton's little picnic table. (We need a patio set!!) We were gonna try Trenton sitting at his table but he wouldn't stay sitting at it so we brought out his chair!!! (notice the one sandal!?! I think it's funny that he's shoeless)...
