Chase Turns 1!

One year came and went so quickly. One whole year of getting to kiss on these cheeks! Who could ask for more? We had Paul and Trisha over for dinner and of course cake. Chase didn't like the cake. He wasn't feeling well and wanted nothing to do with it but after the third time, he finally figured it out and dug in.

The only word he knows is "ball" so we went for a ball cake

His favorite present was a little basketball toy from Raegan and Brigham- thanks Trisha, good call!

Storybook Parade

Every year Painted Sky does a Storybook Parade. Each child is to bring a favorite book and then dress up like that character. The kids then have a parade at school.

Audrey was Cinderella

Blake was of course a BYU fan/football player.

Even Jackson and Chase got in on the fun and were 2 Little Monkeys jumping on the bed. (Gotta get your money's worth out of those Halloween costumes)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Jackson playing in his giant Valentine's Box (a Joy School creation).

Valentines's Sunday- the one day of the year we dress in red and white.  Blake and Jackson were dressed in red and white too but by the time I got home from church (YW stuff) their church clothes were long gone!

Audrey and I can't resist Chases' cheeks, "Stop Kissing on me!"

The Bottle Snatcher

Sweet little Andrew is such a cutie

Fat little Chase spots food!

Defenseless, Andrew just sucks away...

SNATCH! "That looks tasty, I think I 'll try some."

Chase the bottle snatcher because we're not feeding him enough apparently, he has to steal bottles from innocent babies.

High's Visit

We were SO EXCITED when Erica, Kimball, Benson and Andrew came to visit us.

They came and cheered us on at our soccer game!

Erica and I got to leave and get our hair done (before pict.)

We all went to Blake and Audrey's Basketball games to cheer them on.

Erica loved playing with the boys in the backyard

Jackson loved having a built in playmate. He and Benson got along so well and just played and played all day!

Erica and I had a blast picking out some new pillows for my family room and

adding a few new nick-nacks. It so much more fun finding a pillow with a sister.

The whole gang saying goodbye. We had such a wonderful time- Please come Back!!!
