Months ago, we were talking about planning a little 50th birthday party for Jason, but as it grew closer, I realized that May is always way too busy, and it wasn't going to happen. And for some reason, back in January, I decided to host a book club in May, which, in my defense, was supposed to be the 3rd week of the month, but we changed it to the 2nd week early on. So, that meant after the busy Mother's Day weekend, I hosted a book club on Monday, which Jason helped with setting up, attended Erik's track meet on Tuesday, Erik's band concert on Wednesday, Austin's orchestra concert on Thursday, and then by Friday, his birthday, Jason was exhausted, as was I. I still managed to make him one of his favorites for breakfast: biscuits and gravy, and picked him up some tacos for lunch after work.
By that time, at 1, Austin had already come home from his morning class. He was able to leave school early because his AP tests had already been taken, and he needed a little rest before his team left for the Regionals track meet. Along with working from home that day, Jason helped Austin prep for the meet, cuz guess what? Austin had a bad cold. He also helped him prep his meet snacks. Austin was scheduled to run the 4x8 at 3:30 ish and the 3200 at 8:00 ish, so there was a big window of time that he needed to eat the right kind of food.
Jason says his birthday was a mixed bag, probably because he did so much! He has been doing more and more lately, as I have been backing out since I have been worn out!
Austin wasn't able to get Jason a gift for his birthday, but he paid him with some fantastic racing! I'll make a separate post with the race details.
In between races, we came home to pick up Erik since the 4×8 started as his school was ending. Luckily, the meet wasn't very far. The 5 of us went to dinner at Taystee's, supposedly the best burgers in the Plymouth/Canton area. They were pretty tasty! (pun intended). We went back home for gifts, and then Kade had somewhere to be, so he sang Happy Birthday to Jason with the cake he had made for him. The rest of us ate some after we returned later.

| Kade got him a shirt, and I got him a couple as well. |
 |
| Erik got him candy. |

| I got him some more candy for the meet. I got him a new grill cover, too, but we haven't opened it yet. |
 |
| Victoria helped pick out his shirts and made him this nice card. |
 |
| New corn-on-the-cob holders were needed! |
 |
| He's still under 50!! |
 |
| Tasytee's is in a gas station! It's their thing. |
 |
| His favorite carrot cake! |
Off we went to the meet for what would be Austin's gift to Jason, though we were unsure of the outcome on the way there.

Happy 50th, Jason!!
