Chloe

My sweet precious baby girl!!!

Jumpin' in the Jump House

After church and lunch on Sunday, we went back outside to enjoy more SUN!! We stayed outside all day, with the exception of Chase's 2 hour nap. He jumped in his jump house, played on the slide, drove his McQueen car, Mommy and Chase played t-ball and badminton, Daddy cleaned, reorganized and laid down new pavers for the 2 equipment/toy buildings near the house and Chloe ran like a crazy dog!!! What a fun, fun day!!!

My Boys

Saturday afternoon we played outside in the gorgeous, much needed sunshine!! Chase had an awesome time running around, playing "chase" from Daddy. Daddy eventually left that afternoon to meet his men's group for a movie....poor Chase laid by the door after he left and played with some cars in the door jam. Gave me the opportunity to get some up close shots :o)

The red spot on his face came from running from Daddy outside and he face planted in the dry, hard grass :(

Showing off the new haircut!

Daddy's Championship Basketball Game

After school, nap and dinner we cheered on Grace Community Church's men's basketball team in the Championship game!!! Yay for Daddy's team---they won the game!!!!! Chase can either be your best cheerleader or your worst.... each time someone made a basket he would say, "yay he made it" while jumping up and down. If the person missed the basket he would say, "oh man, he missed it." Too cute!

Vday Party at School

Chase was so cute at his Valentine Day Party! I think most of the kids were just excited to see their parents come. I had a great time helping him make his craft, eat yummy snacks and passing out his Valentine treats for his friends.

This was a super cute color sorting activity that Chase did earlier that day in school.

Face First Asleep

I ran to the hobby store to grab some more tulle for the tutu's while Chase stayed home with Rich. Rich said he ran upstairs for a few minutes and he said Chase was very quiet, so he decided to walk downstairs to check on him and this is what he found :) He was so tired he couldn't even climb all the way on the couch! His little feet don't even touch the ground. Too cute!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Chase looking SO cute!!!

After going to Elizabeth's Birthday party on Saturday, we stopped to get some dinner on the way home. Chase was silly the entire dinner. He wanted to wear Rich's hat, which we thought was so adorable. After he put it on, he looked at the TV to watch the race. A typical boy!! :)

I am so blessed to have two good looking men in my life!!!

Hey, where did the light go? This hat is too big!

Sunday, Jan 31...Second Snow Day!!!

The second snow day, we actually played outside a bit longer. Saturday was just so cold that we couldn't bare to stay very long. On Sunday we walked up to the elementary school and played on the playground. On the way there, we stopped by our little neighborhood pond to see how frozen it was. The second picture is Chase's shadow...however, every time I rotate it and save it, it turns back. Out of all the pictures I took, rotated and re-sized, this one decides not to cooperate. Oh well. It looks normal on my computer screen.

Chase's shadow!!!

Contemplating the slide...

Here I go...

Safely landed in numerous inches of SNOW and then asks to do it over and over again :)

So does Daddy!!

This really is FUN

Even better riding on Daddy's lap down the twirly slide...

UNTIL.... Daddy lets me go by myself... USUALLY this would not be a problem, BUT this slide was SOOOOO fast with the snow on it. I flew down it on my bottom and landed on my belly

Just realized what my Daddy did.... I'm not a happy boy right now!!!

So back to the way I remember them....going fast down the snow slide ON my Daddy's LAP!

YIPPEE!!!!

OH MY GAH!!!! I just LOVE this picture... snotty nose and all!!!! I love the one below, too!!!

Headed back to the wagon to ride home....

Saturday, Jan 30th (BIG SNOW DAY!!!)

The meteorologist was right, YIPPEE!!!! We knew it was going to happen, so we decided to go out to eat Mexican food Friday night with the Peele Family since we would be home bound the rest of the weekend. Saturday was a fun filled day. We watched movies, Chase ate popcorn and Oreos, we made a big breakfast, we made a crock pot of chili, we played Potato Head, raced cars, built with Lego's, colored, and played in the snow!!!! WOW! We were all exhausted! It was fun being with my 2 boys, though! Thank you, thank you, thank you LORD for our snow day(s)!!!!

Oreos give him sheer joy----funny thing, he does NOT eat the chocolate part.. he just eats all of the sugar and throws away the actual cookie. It doesn't appear that way, but very true!

We measured the snowfall *before* the 2nd snow came through...I know we had more by that afternoon.

Snow makes everything look beautiful!

My 2 kids

My baby's footprints!! LOVE THEM!

HOME

I didn't realize I was setting myself up for a snowball fight... AND, I was NOT warned either..

Still didn't realize... BUT on the inside I'm sure he is laughing hysterically at what's about to happen....

He screamed me in the face with that iceberg of a snowball....

Face planted..
