Blog Makeover Giveaway

I am excited to share that a friend from high school is starting a new buisness of blog design. She is launching her business by giving away a blog makeover. Tyne has a great sense of humor and makes me laugh each time I visit her site. You can visit her site through the following link to learn more about the contest and to enjoy a few chuckles about her family of almost 4.

Halloween

This year Chase was a lion for Halloween. I was planning to be a lion tammer to go along with his costume. Well due to the stress of putting on his costume and keeping it on I went without my costume :(. I took Chase in to the school parade and he and cousin Ian both wore lion costumes (thanks to Mimi (Barb) for helping me get Chase in his costume).


On Halloween we took Chase to the Larsen's to trick-or-treat with their kids. Chase of course hesitated to wear his lion costume again so we tried cousin Ian's dog costume. This one was a bit snug and helped us to convince him that the lion was his best bet.


Jason and Kevin took the kids out to a few houses that we know around town. Chase really did not seem to understand what they were doing because as the door opened he would run through the door and make himself at home in each of the houses. He did not really seem to care much about the candy (but I was thankful that he brought home a few pieces) but had a great time anyway.

Walking Wally

Chase loves to take Wally for walks when we visit. Mimi decided that maybe Chase should really be the one to walk him.

Outdoor Fun

A few weeks ago Chase and I went to visit Mimi and Wally in Edwards. We went for a hike on Sunday and Chase had a blast exploring. On our way down he was very curious about the creek that we had to cross. We took off his shoes and let him play around. You would think that it would have been too cold but not for this kid.

A walking stick and a leaf, what more do you need?

Loving the water (brrrr!)

Hmmm...

...and this is what I found in the bathroom this afternoon...

Thursday

Well our little Capricorn has started to show his passion for the "big bucks". He walks around talking about money, asking for money and reminding us that we need to have money when we are in the store to pay for things. Well today was a good one. We stopped to fill the car with gas (ugh, my least favorite thing to do) and Chase begins his banter about "money, money, money". As we drove away he turns toward the gas pump, waves and says "bye bye money!" (oh so true!)



Yesterday afternoon:

Chase: "Poo, poo, poo, poo"

Me: "Do you want to go and try on the potty?"

Chase: "No!"

A bit later after some play time.

Chase: "Poo, poo, baby. Baby poo, poo."

Me: "You are a big boy now Chase, let's go try the potty."

This is what we found in the bathroom...
