Chase is one year "bigeer"

If you ask Chase how old he is now he will almost immediately respond (depending on how well he knows you) by telling you that he is now THREE YEARS OLD. I can't believe three years ago this beautiful little boy entered our lives. He brings us so much joy on a daily basis. He says the cutest things. Sometimes, I find myself holding back the laughter when I am trying to teach him why he can't do something he's not suppose to be doing. Today I was getting after him for something and I told him "your just not big enough." Well, he came right up to me, at eye level, and measured himself against me and said "ya see, I bigeer." I couldn't help but laugh. He did this all day on his birthday too. He kept measuring himself against EVERYTHING and as he did it I would hear him mumble to himself "I reelly am bigeer." He has such a sweetness about him and his smile is ABSOLUTELY contagious. He is so animated and always has been even as a baby. I tell ya some of the faces he makes! He loves any type of sports. (Corts starting him young, athough even as a baby his eyes would light up when he saw a ball.) He loves to ride his bike and play with his brother and sister. He also has some great dance moves. If your every lucky enough to actually see him shake his stuff, you'll know exactly what I mean. HILARIOUS! He still cries when Taylor leaves for school, merely because he wants to be with her 24/7. He is a HUGE tease, (again gets that from his mom) and so full of life, I tell ya the things I would accomplish if I had his energy. He is go, go, go, as soon as he wakes up, (with a smile on his face) seriously he NEVER stops! Last night during family home evening we talked about baptism and at the end of the lesson I asked the kids why we got baptized to see if they were listening and Chase piped right up and belted out with his arms way up in the air "to be like Jesus!" He is such an important part of our family and none of us can ever get enough of him. I can hardly wait to watch him grow into the amazing man I know he will be. He already talks about his mission and has started saving for it. We started a new thing where the kids earn money and then break it up into tithing, saving=mission, and fun. Chase loves to put money in his mission fund. He loves to sing "I hope they call me on a mission" and he loves to hear all about his dad's mission. I hope he never loses his love of life. Happy 3rd Birthday to our very sweet Chasey! We love you more then you will ever know. You're sure growing up fast!
