My Mom and Dad made me an Optimus Prime cakeLucky for Mason it was day light savings today…He woke up at 5 am wanting to celebrate, we told him he couldn’t open up presents until 8. When our alarm clock said 7:00 I remembered that I hadn’t set it forward! So I went and found Mason and told him to go wake up Stephen – much to Stephen’s dismay (he wanted to sleep in and picked the wrong day to do it) Mason was excited to be the recipient of 3 new transformers and the Transformer Movie.
We all know that Mason loves STRAWBERRIES! He chose to have crepes and strawberries for breakfast. Stephen is getting really good at crepe making by the way! Lex even whipped up some real cream! Very tasty. He also loves scrambled eggs and bacon, so we made them too.
As you can see by the photos, Stephen designed and crafted a Transformer (optimus prime) cake out of rice crispies. In the end we were more happy with the appearance than the taste of this cool cake. Stacie’s and Jana’s families came over to watch Mason blow out candles. Also participating via skype at Brad and Amy’s house were Grandpa and Grandma Baldwin, Brad’s family and Michelle’s Family. Pretty cool! We all sang happy birthday to Mason. He thought it was great.
Another fun fact about this year’s birthday is that it was the ninth of March and Mason turned 9 – kind of fun! We love Mason and his curiosity, honesty, energy, creativity, willingness to help out, and handsome SMILE! We can’t believe how fast nine years can go by. Happy Birthday Mason!

Brian made a funny comment that people are easily entertained by watching other people on their computer screens. We all just sat and watched you guys in your kitchen. It was pretty funny.
