Earlier in the year I started trying to think of a fun party for Jason's 40th birthday. I wanted to do something exciting for the milestone but everything I tried to plan just wouldn't work out. We ended up going downtown to IRock to do some rock climbing. It was fun to have most of Jason's family there to celebrate with us. Some, especially the kids, were shy about the rock climbing at first but soon almost everyone was involved having a fun time. Kaitlyn really enjoyed the rappelling and loved swinging back and forth kicking off the wall. I am not very fond of heights and wanted to quit about half way up the wall but Jason was belaying for me and refused to let me down so I had no choice but to climb to the top!

After rock climbing we picked up Olive Garden food and went back to our house for dinner. Jason cracked everyone up when we sang happy birthday and instead of blowing out the candles he grabbed a fork and started eating the cake. I made a big collage out of old pictures of Jason. It was fun to look back on the years.
