Happy Birthday Chase!

                                              Happy Birthday Chase!

Wow, where has the time gone? I can hardly believe that Chase is 5 and will be starting kindergarten this year.It is a little bittersweet I must admit, but such an exciting time for him as he moves to this next stage of his life.  He is such an amazing boy with so many talents, and gifts that he shares with all. A few words to describe Chase: Sweet, Sensitive, Caring,  Funny, Loving, Strong, Happy, Energy, Hungry, Example, Polite, Helper, Early Bird.

This past year Chase has grown up so much. He has always seemed older than what he is, but I feel as even this year he has just grown up even more and been such a big help to me, and his little brother Grant. This past year he finished up his second year of preschool with Teacher Heidi. She was very sad to see him go, and talked about how smart he was and what a leader he was in the class. Most people think these things of Chase. He is quite the little thinker and analyzes the things around him, which also makes him ask a lot of questions. He is always full of so many questions, which I love, but at times can be exhausting as well. He loves to talk....which may be where those questions come from, and he is always on the go. From the moment he wakes up he wants to know what we are doing and where we are going, and does not lack in energy all day long. He is an early riser and when it is bed time he zonks out pretty quick.He loves doing all things, but mostly he loves playing with his friends outside on his bike and scooter, and jumping out back on the trampoline. He also loves going on bike rides with his dad, and at only 4 years old did an 8 mile bike ride. He could spend all day outside playing and still be upset when he has to come in. I just cannot believe how much the time has passed and what a great kid Chase is. He truly is an example to all that are around him and a good friend. I get knocks on the door all day long from kids in the neighborhood who just want to play with him and I think that is how it will be his while life. We love you Chase and are so excited to have you as part of our family! 

Favorite Food: Pizza, Mac and Cheese, Chicken Nuggets
Favorite things to do: Ride Bike, Art Projects, Hang out with his Family and Friends
Favorite Color: Green
Best Friends: Cohen Plewe and Holden Tate

Chase was so worried about whether or not there would be decorations up when he woke up. I was so glad that he was not disappointed and that we started his birthday off of the right foot. With mom just having  a  baby I think the day turned out well.

Welcome Baby Tate!

Well Boy #3! Who would have thought that we would have a family of all boys up to this point? I really could not be happier. Once again I feel like our family is complete for now and I am completely in love with our new sweet little guy! Just when I think they could not get any cuter he comes a long.

WELCOME

Well everything was scheduled for the c section. We were planning on heading in on May 31 at 6:30 in the morning for a c-section. So Melissa came over and picked up the boys on Wednesday night and Chris and I headed out for a date night,  Buffalo Wild Wings, and a movie. Well we got as far as Buffalo Wild Wings when I started to have contractions. Really? I am going in to have a baby in the morning and I am having contractions now. Well we sat and finished dinner and headed over to Lowes to go and look at faucets for our sink. At this point contractions were about 4 minutes apart and we were trying to decide if we should just go into the hospital.  Well we headed to Cotsco and then Home Depot, and then decided a movie might not be in the plans for us and headed home to pack our bags. Who knew wings could send you into labor. :) We headed to the hospital and thought we may be having this baby a day early, but he came just as planned. (Only a little earlier) I was a little nervous for the c section, but everything went perfect. When they pulled him out everyone commented on how big he was. I was sure by everyone's comments that this little guy was going to for sure be a 9 lb baby, but when they weighed him in it was 7lbs 13 oz. Finally when Chris brought him over and I laid eyes on him, I was in LOVE! How could I not be, he was perfect. I was completely shocked by the amount of hair, and by the color which has already been styled by the nurses in a quick little faux hawk. He is seriously perfect and we are so excited to have him as part of our little family. Chris and I truly have been blessed with the sweetest little spirits and look forward to getting to know our new little guy.

Our Family All Together









 We love you little Tate Tate and can't wait to get to know you!

Merry Christmas 2011

Everyone knows Christmas is my favorite time of year. I pretty much start to get excited about it right when the fall weather begins to change. This Christmas season has been great! What I have learned these past few years though is nothing makes Christmas as fun as having kids. It seriously is the best! They bring the magic back into the season and make it so much fun. Of course it starts with Christmas list, and trips to see Santa. Mornings looking for our mischievous elf, and lots and lots of good food. This year was perfect! We headed down to Nephi the night before Christmas eve and spent time with the Nephi Cameron family. The guys made the BEST ugly Christmas sweaters. It was perfect! Then Christmas eve we spent here as a family with Ben and Carolyn and then of course Christmas morning was perfect! I love when they start crawling upstairs and you can hear there little voices. The squeals and the excitement in there eyes made it all so worth it! How I love this season and how I love that I have my sweet little family to share it with!
Merry Christmas 2011!
So Excited!

Grant is 2 Years Old

Can it really be that my baby boy is 2 years old! Wow has the time flown by. Well what can I say about this sweet little boy of mine. From day one he has kinda been a Mommas Boy. (Well and a Grandma and Aunt Melissa's boy). He has added such a different spark to our family! He is full of life and loves to Chase after his big brother. Everything that Chase does he wants to do and I honestly think it is so cute. He loves, loves, loves to read and sometimes you will just catch him sitting in a corner jabbering a way at a book that he has open. His vocabulary is getting much better, although there are still a few things that I cannot understand. He really gets his point across though and lets you know what he wants, or needs.  He definitely is a lot more feisty than Chase was, but it also easy to get over things when he is upset. One of my favorite things about my little guy is time outs. Everyone knows around this age there are a few breakdowns and the best thing about Grant is that he sends him self to time out. Wow, he really takes the work out of it for us. :) We are so happy to have this little guy as part of our family! Happy Birthday Baby Boy, we love you!

Night at the Drive In

Well the movie Cars 2 came out this weekend, and just like the rest of the world we were SUPER excited to see the movie. We decided what better way to see the movie than to watch it at the drive in. So we headed to the drive in with the Chase Family and Aunt Melissa. It was a great night! The boys loved the movie, and loved the fact that we were watching it in the car. A perfect summer activity, with great friends! Hey what can I say, I love the drive in!

Waiting for the movie to start
Chase and Mom
So Excited!

Chases 4th Birthday!

Where has the time gone? Is my little guy seriously already 4? Honestly it seems like I just brought him home, and now he is off to preschool and before I know it he will be starting kindergarten. Kinda makes me feel like I am getting old, but I would not change it. This past year has just been full of adventure and fun for both me and my little guys. Chase started preschool, this past year, played lots of sports, and has made lots of new friends. He honestly is a little social butterfly and has little knocks numerous times during the day to see if he can come out and play. If it were up to him he would be outside all day long with his friends playing. He never gets tired of being outside and riding his bike. He loves his little brother and talks about him all the time. They are really becoming the best of buddies and love spending lots of time together. Right now Chase loves pizza, shepards pie, cheeseburgers, and really loves anything that I make with pork. He also LOVES green beans and could eat that for a meal. Honestly Chase is the sweetest little guys, with the best temperament. He is such a little pleaser and just wants to make everyone happy.

There are so many things that Chase is into, but he loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates so we thought to celebrate his birthday pirate style. It was such a fun day centered all around my little guy and I wouldn't have it any other way. Heck, that is what birthdays are all about!Happy Birthday!Favorite Breakfast......Donuts! My Little Pirate!Chases Treasure Map to find his BIG PRESENTYes! Just want he wanted! A new big boy bike!So Excited!After all the excitement we headed to Planet Play with the Ted Cameron Family and Aunt Melissa and Grandma, and Amy and Ry for some fun. What a great day!
