Jonathon Turns 17!!!

I am still in shock my oldest turned 17 yesterday. He got his room painted in "Steelers" colors - yellow and black...it was a surprise after he got home from work Sunday and Guy had spent the whole day in his room painting. (will post pictures later) It looks great! Then yesterday he got an envelope with some cash which is always a very welcomed thing for a teenager!

We ended the day wtih dinner with the family (all of us my sister and her gang and mom and dad). Tsunami of course, Japanese seems to be a bday tradition around her. The kids love it. At the end of the meal Fred (Jonathon's Uncle) said he would give him $10 to eat a big wad of wasabi (gross!) and then if he could do 50 pushups with it in his mouth and then swallow it he would up that to $50. Jonathon was in. Above is his face with the wasabi.

Let the push ups begin...yes it doesn't matter where we go we seem to draw attention to ourselves. He completed the task in hand and walked out with an extra$50. We walked out with a cramp in our side from all the laughing.
In the meantime Grace noticed all eyes on Jonathon so she moved right over to the birthday cheesecake we ordered for Jonathon and helped herself...too funny.

Grace did save Jonathon a little of his own cake!
