Jason's actual birthday

Because Kelly Kaus is the Sunday dessert person, she brought key lime pie and lemon meringue pie for Jason's birthday dessert. We all loved the pies, and we prefer them over cakes.

This is a tradition at our house--to have a birthday picture with Mother hugging your neck!

This proves it!

Before bedtime the other night, we decided to see if I was right in thinking Jason was taller than Rowen. It looks like Jeffrey is the tallest in this picture, but he was on a chair. :) If you click on the picture and enlarge it, you will see that the bubble is not in the middle! Jason is slightly taller than Rowen! Maybe Jason will be like his cousin Adam and keep on growing!

Jason's 15th birthday!

Two years ago I put some sweet pictures of Jason as a baby on here for his birthday. They are really precious, so please click on the hyperlink and see them!
I can't resist adding a couple of pictures from 2003 when Jason was 8 years old. He has always had that mischievous twinkle in his eyes!


Today I measured Jason against our wall of memories where all the children's heights have been marked for 21 years now. He has surpassed his daddy's height of 6'2" now! That has been the standard for many years. Jason is now 6' 2.5"! We are very proud of the fine young man Jason has become. He is very entertaining to us, full of fun, yet thoughtful, devotional, serious, and kind to young and old. Here are some recent pictures of him from this summer.

Below is a video of Jason playing a song that he has recently made up. This is at the Federal Heights church where we were waiting for the vans of children to arrive for Sunday School.

We love you, Jason! Happy 15th Birthday!!!!
