It's Confirmed!

My poor little Chase is allergic to peanuts...and not just peanuts, but pretty much all nuts! Poor guy! I am so sad that he will be never be able to really enjoy a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or some of my favorite candy bars. I felt bad taking him in there knowing that he would have to have the scratch test and be uncomfortable. No mom wants that for the kids, but I also felt it was necessary to see if he truly was allergic so we could take precautions. They did the test and said we would have to wait 20 minutes, but after 10 minutes they came in and saw the welts, and said they already knew he had the allergy so gave him some Benadryl so he would not be uncomfortable anymore. In other news....We had a great weekend. Considering the crummy, rainy, Saturday we had we made the best of it and had a great weekend!

First we hit the side walk chalk festival and after the drive in theater. We knew Chase would be out pretty quick and he did not disappoint. He tossed and turned for awhile, but it was fun to get out and relax and watch a movie.On Saturday we woke up to rain and storms...Shocker! So we decided to hit the Lehi indoor pool. Chase loved it and went down lots of slides and had fun with his Dad at the pool!Last, but not least we had a great Fathers. We spent the day together and up to SLC to visit with Chris dad at the Veterans home. Chase is so lucky to have such a good Daddy and example in his life. He looks forward to when Chris comes home every day, and I always have to keep Chase up for Chris if he is comes home late or he will wake Chase up just so he can spend time with him....and I love it! Nothing makes a wife and mom more happy than seeing that relationship! Thanks Chris for being such a great Dad and husband! We are so lucky to have you!

Only 11 Days to Go!

Well we are really at the count down now with only 11 days to go before our sweet little guy gets here! The doctor actually talked about moving my c-section up one more day today, but I am hoping for the 30th! Things are going great and I feel great other than being tired, but that is ok...I deserve to be a little tired, especially with a little guy who randomly likes to get up in the middle of the night just to say "HI". I think I finally nipped that one in the bud by taking the night light out if his room. I think he may have just thought it was morning, but we shall see. Other than lack of sleep from my silly aching hips things are great, and I feel great! These aching hips just make me feel like I am getting old....WAIT I AM! Gotta love it I guess!
We are so excited for our little guy to get here and so excited for Chase to be big brother. He really is the sweetest little guy any parents could ask for and I only hope he rubs off on his little brother! We will keep you informed of when our little guy gets here, but thought I would give just a little update!
Maybe I will post a pic later.... ;)

My Baby is Two....and lots of other fun!

I cannot believe how fast these past 2 years have gone by! Last Monday my little guy turned 2! I have to say it is a little bitter sweet for me and I would lie if I said, I did not cry about it! I am so happy that my little guy is growing up and learning new things every day, but am so sad that I am losing the baby and he is turning into this little boy. I could have not asked for a better baby, and little boy. He has certainly brought more joy than I thought one little guy could do and I look forward to these next few years seeing him grow up even more! He enjoys pretty much everything, and helps me to see all the little things that I have to be grateful for as well. Thanks Chase for making us so happy!
We decided just to have a little family party this year so on Sunday, Chases cousins came over along with his Aunt and Uncles, and Grami Cami! We celebrated by making homemade pizzas. I don't know who enjoyed making the pizzas more.....Chris or the kids! It was a great day though

Pizza TimeMy 2 Boys! Love Them!Love the CakeChase and his cousin!Chase was all partied out when everyone left...
On Monday, I did my best to make the whole day about Chase....(which I feel like I have been doing this whole last month. :) We started off with a yummy pancake breakfast, and then had bubble and dance time. (Chase loves music and bubbles....so why not combine them) Cash Baadsgaard came over in the afternoon and then we headed to farm country to see all the animals. The boys loved it, and loved the lollipops even more that they got to snack on in the car afterward. We then headed home for nap time and relaxed a little. When Chase woke up from his nap Chris was home so we decided to give him his bike....Chris and Chase both put i together and then spent the rest of the night outside on it!

Farm CountryCash and Chase loved the animals and it was impossible to get them to look at the camera together! I guess we needed Melissa there making LOTS of weird noisesChases New Bike...One of many gifts!
CHASES 2 YEAR APPOINTMENT
The dreaded appointment to the doctor for shots and all that fun stuff....went good! Chase had a little melt down about the shot this time, but the melt down really began when when he ripped the band aid and saw the blood. You would have thought he had never seen blood before from the reaction. He is growing strong and right on track. We take him this next week to see and allergist to see if he has a peanut allergy! I am crossing my fingers that it is a little bit of an intolerance, but from the sounds of the doctor was pretty confident it was a peanut allergy! :( Poor guy...if so he is going to miss out on the ultimate kid food, peanut butter and jelly! Atleast he still has his mac and cheese!Weight-28 lbs 53 %tile
Height- 35.2 73 %tile

OUR WEEKEND
And last, but not least we had a GREAT weekend! Chris was supposed to head out on a bike trip, but it was canceled. Although I was sad for him that it was canceled because he was so bummed, we made the best of the weekend and had a lot of fun spending time together as a family. Chase and I woke up early Saturday morning (wait we always wake up early) and we headed to get Daylight Donuts for Chris to cheer him up. It worked! Chase was going to go to the zoo, but the weather looked like it was not going to work so we decided to head to the dunes with Kelly and Rach! It was a great time! There were a few showers there, but all in all it was a great time! Chase had tons of fun wearing the helmet and taking rides with his Dad....Although I am excited for our little bundle of joy to arrive I love the time that we are spending together right now with the 3 of us!

Chase wanted to wear this helmet 24/7...Just like his Daddy!Rach and Melissa getting there bike lessons....really both of them were off in like 2 minues! Rach even did a wheelie to show off her skills! ;)Wathching the boys on Sand Mountain Chris even took me for a ride in the razor! He said he had to take it easy though...no labor for me yet! :)We had a great time! Thanks Kelly and Rach we are already excited to go back out!

And least, but not least on Sunday we headed up to the Veteran home to have church with Vic and visit for a minute. Afterwards we headed to temple square to take in the nice weather we were having since we knew thunderstorms were coming in the later afternoon!

A perfect afternoon and weekend with my boys!

How time flies...

I do not know how time goes by so fast and me not posting, but it seems to just have flown by! This past month has been great! We have been doing so many little things and having LOTS of fun with this great weather! We are going to take it in as much as we can before I am laid up for a few weeks with the new baby!

Mothers Day!
We had a great Mothers day this year! Chris got us a family pass to Thanksgiving Point so of course we started using it right away! First stop was the Dinosaur Museum! Every time we drive by Chase would point at the big dinosaur on the side of the building and growl. So we knew it was time to take him and let him experience what it was all about it! He loved it and just ran around and did every activity he could. I am sure we will spend LOTS of time there this next year.

As always Chase loves ths fish and could just sit there forever!Look at all those bonesDigging in the sandDigging for fossilsAfter the Dinosaur Museum the weather had cleared up so we headed over to enjoy the tulip festival. I think we wore Chase out with all the walking he was doing he he fell asleep right on Chris shoulders! Silly boy! Kids can really fall asleep anywhere!

Chase has been to the Tulip Festival before with Char, Melissa and Michelle. I think they must have ade him take a lot of pics because as soon as we walked in he stood in front of the flowers and said, "Cheese"As many of you may know, Chris dad is now at the Utahs Veterans Home. We try go and see him every few weeks and Chase is always a big hit with all the residents there. He is a very social little guy and makes his rounds saying hello and patting them all on the hands. It is so cute! When we get there though he always finds grandpa and gives him a big hug! These two guys have there own special realtionship that none of us understand, but puts a smile on our face. The hug this particular day lasted about 2 minutes!Well, Melissa 30 birthday has came and gone! Of course it was a great excuse for us to take a little girls trip...so off we went to St. George. It was a short yet perfect weekend of laying out, getting pedicures, movies, food, and friends!
Just a few pics of our weekend!
Please disregard my horrible roots....I plan on getting my hair done soon!Worst pedis ever....Best WT entertainment!Chris and Chase had a lot of fun while I was gone. They hit the childrens Discovery Gardens at Thankgiving Point, got haircuts, went to the park, ate Del Taco and got lots of little things done around the house. Since Chase had such a great time at the Discovery Gardens I took him there yesterday again to play in Noahs Ark. What a great little place for kids....and so close! We will be there a lot this summer!Chase loves the fish no matter how murky the water!There are a lot of fun activities for the kids to do there, but this was by far Chases favorite. I think he could have sat here for hours playingThere is so much more I could post, but wow this has gotten WAY TOO LONG! I just need to keep up on doing it ever week! We have had a great month and are looking forward to June and spending a lot of time with Chase before the new little one arrives. We are so excited for this new little boy in our lives, but will miss all this one on one time we have had with the little guy who has been the center of our lives for the past 2 years!
June 30th is the big day so we are going to live up all the summer fun we can until then!
