3 Year Check Up!

We headed to the doctor this week for Chases third year check up! For some reason I thought we were going to get out of there without having to get shots, but unfortunately the little guy had to get 2! He did so good and as usual the doctor only had good things to say about him. He said he is very bright for his age, and was very impressed that he had potty trained so early! (I just keep thinking I cannot imagine changing a diaper on him...Gross!) He is growing big and strong and I am just so proud of him. My favorite part was that he invited Dr. Wilcox to his birthday! So cute....and as always so friendly! I still cannot believe that he is 3....

Weight: 34.4 lb 77 %tile
Height: 38.75 81.02 %tile

Ry came along with us and was moral support for when the shots came! He did so cute on this little test and this is where they were so impressed because he answered everything and did everything they said. I guess at this age sometimes it is hard to listen and sit still.....(Wait I feel like it is that way at every age!)First time getting blood pressure taken!He is all smiles now, but little does he know the nurses are coming back to stick his legs!

Third Birthday

Chases third birthday was a lot of fun! We tried to make the day all about him, and he totally knew it and was eating up every piece of attention all day long! He and Grant are getting there BIG PARTY in a couple of weeks, but we decided we would do something small for our little guy to let him know how much we love him! It was a fun day! And YES he wore the party hat ALL DAY LONG! It got a lot of HAPPY BIRTHDAYS from strangers and and old man even sang to him at Winco! (Like I said he was eating it all up!)

Started the morning off with Pancakes and Party Hats!

Met up with grandma later to pick out special treat and then met up with Daddy and Aunt Melissa too for dinner at One Man Band!

This guy LOVES to give kisses! I just love the he puckers when doing it....So cute!

After opening his gifts he had to start using them! He loves the books where you have to find things! (Like the Where Waldo Ones)

His new Buzz Towel! Loves it!

And YES....Thanks to Grami Cami we had a pinata just for him!

YUMMMY cupcakes....As you can see I forgot the candles

NOW TO GET READY FOR THE BIG PARTY!!

3 Years Ago Today....

3 Years Ago.....One of the best things ever happened to me, I became a MOM! Not only did I become a mom, but I became a mom to the sweetest, cutest, most precious guy I know. Really...I am not just saying these things to say them, they are true. I can honestly say that I have been blessed over and over since the day that Chase Victor Cameron entered our lives! He has truly made me want to be a better person, friend, wife, and most of all mom. I never knew someone so young could make me want to be so much more....Hey aren't I the teacher? Honestly I cannot imagine a day without this little guy. I love that every morning when he wakes up (which is way to early) he climbs into the bed with me and tells me that he loves me. That is probably the best wake up call ever! I love that as soon as he tells me he loves me and gives me a kiss on the nose that he runs into Grants room (Once he hears that he is awake) and hops in the crib with him and plays with him, and I can hear his sweet little voice tell Grant that he loves him. It is so cute to hear the two of them already giggle and talk to each other and I just know that are going to be the best of friends. BROTHERS! I am already so excited for the adventures that these two will go on! Since it is my little guys BIG BIRTHDAY TODAY, I think I will just make a list of things I love about him. I know that I can go on, and on.....But hey this is my blog, my memories, and things I hope that he will read one day so that he knows how much his mommy loves him!
Promise I will stop before too long, but I will just put the most important things. :)

• I love his prayers. They are so sweet and innocent, and I love that he feel the freedom to pray about anything. (Today for his example was that he would get to ride his bike outside)
• He is so sweet and sensitive. I honestly do not think they get any sweeter than this. He is constantly telling me how much he loves me and giving me hugs and kisses.
  
• I love that he wants to make us so happy! He really is a little pleaser and does not like to get in trouble. One day while I was in the shower I guess he had gotten into the milk to pour himself a glass of course. Well he came into the bathroom and said, "Mom I went to get me some milk, and I spilled it, but I cleaned it up and already went to time out. Sure enough when I got into the kitchen towels were laid out everywhere and the floor had been cleaned.
• I think it is so cute that he loves to clean. He always if offering to help clean things around the house and LOVES to vacuum and dust. And tries to make his bed of course, that will take some time to perfect!
• I love that he loves hanging out with "friends" He is such a social little guy and would love to be outside all day if he could playing with the kids on the street. He seriously sometimes waits at the window just so he can tell me when he sees the first kids head out of there house. He really is a good friends, and plays so nice with all the kids!
• I love how much he loves music, and how great of rhythm he already has at only 3 years old. He can tap his feet to the rhythm of just about any song that comes on and is always asking meto turn up the music and play it louder. He is constantly walking around the house either singing or humming. Most times is is, Follow the Prophet, or a song from the Squequel (The Chipmunks)
  
• I think it is so cute how excited he gets when Chris comes home. As soon as he hears the garage door opening he races to the door screaming, "My Daddy is Home!" He is always so excited to tell Chris about his day and cannot wait to hug and wrestle with him. These two have such a special relationship and I know that it will only get stronger with time. I just love it!
  
• I love the Chase also wants to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING Chris is doing. I know that it is a boy thing, but nothing is cuter that a boy following there dad around and wanting to be just like them weather it be fixing something, mowing the lawn ,or just watching TV with there feet up!
• I think that it is so cute and funny that Chase can say "S", but just not at the beginning of a word. It makes some of the things that he says so cute and so funny!
  
• I love that he can eat a half bucket of a large pop corn when he goes to the movies. He is like a bottomless pit when it comes to pop corn, and fruit snacks!
• I love that he carries his little phone and chap stick with him in his poackets all the time and has numerous conversations through out the day with Chris Aunt Melissa, and Grami Cami!
  

I really could go on and on about how this little guy makes me so happy! He truly loves life and makes everyone around him so happy!I am just glad that he was sent to Chris and I and that he is such a good example to us!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!
We Love You!

Summer Pre School!

Chase started his little summer preschool today!
Loves it!

He only goes 1 day a week for 2 hours and I had a hard time leaving him for even that long!

Let the Summer Begin!

I am so happy that spring/summer is FINALLY here and that we are able to take advantage of some outside time. We have been taking walks, playing outside, going to the pool, watching thunder storms, having block parties, and just spending time together as a family. I am loving it and just so happy that we can go outside! SO fun! Chase started his little summer pre school today and loves it! He only goes one day a week for 2 hours, but thinks it is just the greatest! Today the learned about the letter I, and talked about INSECTS! I am so happy that he is such a social guy and just loves doing ANYTHING! Grant and I of course ran to WINCO to go take advantage of some deals......and I Have to admit it was great to spend a little one on one time with him! Here are just some pics of our last week!

Memorial Day

This Memorial Day Chris headed to the motorcycle races, and the boys and I headed over to Aunt Melissa's for a little time in the sun and swimming. The sun was not what we expected. I was thinking it was going to be 80 degree weather and lots of sun. Instead the sun was hidden by the clouds and the wind made it a little cooler than we hoped for. That did not stop us though! Chase was SO excited for the pool and put his float on and jumped in before I even knew it. He pretty much stayed in the pool the WHOLE time. Grant loved it to! We put him in his float and he splashed around and loved every minute....other than when I took him out! What can I say, I have little water babies! It was a great time though and I am excited to have more pool time this summer with the boys! They really are the ones who makes it so much fun!

Me and my Boys!

I looked over Chase had his float on and jumped right in...I guess no time for him getting used to the water!

Grant loved it all too and splashed around.....

After fun in the water it was time to head home....Of course they both fell right asleep!

1 1Months Old

Today Grant is 11 months old! I can hardly believe that he has been here that long and next month we will be celebrating his first birthday! I am seriously so excited! He has been such a great baby. He smiles, and talks constantly, but will also let you know when he is unhappy by letting out a little scream. He really only cries when he is hungry and ready for bed, or just wants to be held by his momma! He also lets out LOUD SCREAMS when he feels like Chase is in his space. He is just coming a live more and more every day. I love the little sounds that he makes, and all the things that he is now trying to do. He really does not like shoes, and takes them off anytime I put them on, but as soon as he takes them off he always tries to put them back on.....(So cute!) He also wipes his face and table with a wipe when he is done eating. And of course as soon as he is done wiping he tries to eat it. This kid has quite the appetite and will eat anything you put in front of him. Really it is just getting it to him fast enough. He now has 8 teeth, and shows them off with his cute smiles every chance that he gets. He is not walking quite yet, but walks everywhere...if that makes sense. He is really just working on a little balance and I think he will have it down! I honestly cannot not say enough about how much I love him. His little sounds just make me smile. I love every morning that Chase goes into his room and crawls into the crib with him and they will sit in there for about 15 minutes just talking and laughing. I am so excited to see there relationship grow more and know that these two are going to have a lot of fun with each other, and probably get in a lot of trouble together in the future! I really am the luckiest mom in the world and am so grateful for both of my boys!
