Chase before he decided to use a pot as his hat!

We had a very special 4th of July this year as Chase got to spend the weekend up at Pine Mountain Lake with Mommy, Daddy, Nana, Papa, Gramma, and Grampa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As you can imagine he had all the attention one could want and did quite well being the star of the show! He LOVED the fireworks, had a blast splashing in the lake, and enjoyed his new toys that his grandparents got him! Thanks Nana & Papa for a great weekend at the cabin! xo, A, B, & C

Chase's First Hair Cut

Not so sure so we bribed him with his favorite scones from Starbucks!
Really not enjoying this guys!

Binkies always make things better!

All done!

Our big boy's handsome new hair-do!

Well, Daddy decided (and Mommy sadly went along with it) that it was time to cut Chase's precious curls and give him a bit of a big boy haircut! I looked quite pathetic hovering over the ground picking up every little curl, but they are all in an envelope that will be safely placed in his baby book forever! Looking back, his hair was getting quite long, but oh I miss those curls! He wasn't a huge fan, but Mr. John did a great job and our handsome big boy is still as cute as ever! We love you Chase!

We had lots of fun this month with family and friends! Chase continues to talk all the time and is definitely finding his independence in many different ways!!! :/ Love him more than anything, but if I only could bottle up his energy and keep it for a tired day!!!!

April Highlights

Ready to hunt Easter eggs in Paso!
Happy boy after opening his Easter basket which was a big dump truck!

We all LOVED the zoo!

Chase & Bella - BFFS - Zoo buddies

Our Kaiser Girls at Downtown Disney

Wow...it has been awhile since I have been here so I'll just do some monthly highlights:

APRIL:

1. WE GOT TO SEE THE KAISERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chase LOVED hanging out with Hannah and Harper and of course Gramma Cheryl and I did too! Love those girls to pieces!

2. Celebrated Liam's 4th Birthday at the park!

3. Went on a crazy vacation to San Diego with great friends which included a trip to the zoo and ended with a few days at the lakehouse!

4. Easter egg hunt!!!!! Easter in Paso and more egg hunting there too!

5. Playdate with our baby group - 19th months old already!

Throughout this month, Chase has REALLY started talking and some days seems to pick up 5 - 10 new words! He loves to look through his books and name everything he sees. Some of his favorites are: airplane, tractor, truck, firetruck (which he says Marc or Nate for since his uncles are both fire fighters), all animal sounds, and balls!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures...xoxo, A, B, & C
