Happy 34th birthday, Mommy.

I blew out her Cheesecake candle at The Cheesecake Factory.  We had a party of ten at our party: Mommy, Daddy, Mimz, Grandma, PaPa, GGF, Barbara, Andy, Kristan, and me.  GGM's eye was hurting a bit, so she stayed home.  I had a hot dog and fries.  Other people had shrimp, pasta, chicken, and cheeseburgers.  GGF picked up the tab as his gift to Mommy.  Daddy's cousin Donnie , the area director for the Cheesecake Factory, gave us complimentary appitizers and lots of complimentary cheesecake to take home.

I didn't want to have my picture taken outside the restaurant.   Sometimes I am like that.  I don't know why.


A funny thing:  Barbara told Grandma her computer is full and she is going to have to start deleting pictures.  She has 9 gigs of pictures of Andy, 8 gigs of Bridget's pictures, and 2 gigs of Christina.  (Andy has so many gigs because of his wedding videos. Bridget has so many gigs because of volleyball.)  She was only going to keep the ones she wants to look at, so Grandma and the kids were going to have to be the "keepers of their own pictures."  (Barbara made thumb drives for Andy, Bridget, and Mommy with their own pictures.)   Now for the funny part: Later Grandma happened to think to ask this question:  "Barbara, how many gigs do you have of Mason's pictures?"   Answer:  "Oh, 53 gigs."   Do you think she would delete any of them? ...... Think again.

Why so many gigs of me?  Well, part of the reason is videos take up a lot of space and each of my pictures are about 2MB, where as the older pictures of ABC were scanned into the computer and are not nearly that large.
Here is the other reason:  Which of these pictures should Barbara delete?

 She struggles to delete any picture of me... so she probably keeps too many.

Except for going to Mommy's birthday party, it was a routine day.
