He's 4!!! We had great friends and family here to celebrate with Chase! He was so excited to start playing with all his toys and was such a great sharer!

Can't believe its been 4 years since I was holding him in the hospital. Happy Birthday Sweets!

Happy Birthday Chase!!!! (6-5-10)

My favorite part is that he sings to himself. :)

When did my little man get to be such a big boy? I am sure that everyone asks themselves this question, but seriously today I looked at him, felt his little frame (he is really short for his age) and yet couldn't believe how big he has gotten. My little boy is now responsible, serious and committed to everything he does. Happy Birthday Chase (iepoo)!!!!!

May/June 2010: is it summer yet?

We are FINALLY getting some summer weather, but in between all of the rain, we've still managed some great moments here! Jacob and I (since he worked rotating shifts, most of the time it was me, but when he was able to be there he was SO helpful) coached Kelton's soccer team this year and Team Lightning did GREAT! They all improved so much! Kelton LOVED playing defense after the first 3 games and then started liking offense again towards the end of the season...which was silly. He's really good, but when you have asthma and your a little kid, the "out of shape cause its been all winter" feeling you get in your lungs VS. the asthmatic feeling of "soon-will be outa breath and without air" is very close...so he got scared and like defense.

I don't know why, but my kids have such short attention spans when it comes to sports. 2 weeks into the sport they are like, "we're done. i don't want to play, i hate that you signed me up." but by the last game they are all chanting, "i want to play more soccer (insert activity), when's our next game?"

So, Chase ended Gymnastics in May; started tball 4 days later. Kelton finished soccer and started tball (no pics yet sorry) within 3 days of eachother in the beginning of June.

We had some fun visitors, Aunt Becky and cousin CJ from California! Taelin kept calling him JP (a kid from our soccer team) but at the end got his name right! :) They had fun together and it was cute to see them all play!

Us and the Noyes' at the River Belt feeding the ducks. How fast do you say it takes to go through 3 packages of hotdog buns? 3.4 minutes (including running time back and forth to get 1 piece of bread each time). I'm sure those ducks were so dang full! It was fun to have a picnic together (so the mommy's can talk mostly) and then watch the kids all chase eachother and play. Can't wait for a fun summer!

say what?

blogger right now is ridiculous! i'm not posting again until i don't have to do it 6 times! urgh!!!!
