TJ's Birthday Party

TJ is one of Chase's good buddies from the Charter School. On Saturday, Chase joined TJ for his birthday party at The Museum of Transportation. The Creation Station at the museum is so much fun! Chase had a blast playing at all of the different stations. Here is a picture of the birthday boy and Chase coloring a picture!

Chase and Isabelle (Chase's princess) enjoyed pretending to be pirates on the "lifesize" (atleast to them) ship!

What pirate ship would be complete without a "secret" cabin?

Perhaps the cutest picture ever! Chase enjoyed peeking out the porthole!

My Big Boy!

As I was uploading pictures to my computer, I couldn't help but to think of the three years that have passed since my beautiful boy came into this world! In that time, I have witnessed him grow, learn and change on a daily basis! He was just a peanut (and still is in many respects) when he arrived and has blossomed into a handsome, intelligent, funny and amazing little being. He is able to spell his name, recite his alphabet, identify upper/lowercase letters, play games with his mommy/daddy, count to twenty, throw, catch, kick, tell silly jokes, and has even begun early stages of reading. All these things and he is just three?!? I am so thankful for this unbelievable gift!

To all of the Mommies out there, just one bit of advice: Live, Laugh and Love with your child everyday! There are a lot of things that you can change, but you can never change time not spent with your children!

Thank you for so many blessings, Chase! I love you!

Halloween 2008

Chase really wanted to be a Superhero this year and decided on Spectacular Spiderman! He tried so hard to make the Spiderman sign with his hands, but couldn't quite figure out how to get his two fingers down without making the others go down as well.

It is a tradition that MaMa A. gets a picture of each grandchild with her geese. I am not really sure where Chase is looking...

We went over to visit Jason's parents for Halloween. Jason's dad had different faces flashing up on his garage door. Chase thought it would be funny to try to scare the faces that appeared. I thought this picture was adorable, as it depicts him and his shadow.

Chase's Halloween Performance!

Chase was so excited to show his classmates his "Spectacular Spiderman" costume at school. St. Lucas has a traditional Halloween Parade where all of the students walk around the gymnasium as relatives and friends gush over their extreme cuteness! After the parade, all of the students go onto stage to sing Halloween songs! It was the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my life. I can't wait until next year!

This is a picture of Chase and his classmates. Would you believe that his friend (the only other boy) in his class dressed as Spiderman too? He was soooo excited!

Here is a picture of all of the students in the Tues/Thurs. morning classes during their performance. Chase is the second in from the right.
