Birthday boy

Chase turned 4 today! I can't believe it....4 sounds so much older to me than 3. He really loved all the attention he got this year. We celebrated his birthday on Sunday when Cort was home with presents, cake, and a small family party. Then today on his official big day he got to choose what we did all day long...needless to say I am EXHAUSTED! We went to Jumping Jack's, the park, did lots of playing at home, and had his cousin come over. It was all worth it though, because he went to bed with a huge smile on his face, I could tell he felt so special. He really got into being able to choose too. But then again who wouldn't?? All day long he kept telling me "I want to do this or I want this...and we have to cause I'm the birthday boy." Here's some pictures of our Chasers celebrating turning 4...
Opening presents on Sunday.


Chase and his new bike. What a hit this gift was! We still need to take the training wheels off, he picks up on things like this so fast. We had him try Tay's bike the other day just for fun and off he went. He really is a natural when it comes to things like this...he gets that from his mom! HAHA

Trying his cake.

And here he is at Jumping Jacks with Talan and his cousin. These boys were in absolute heaven running around and jumping on things without a care in the world; with no one there to tell them to stop and settle down.
Little boy heaven.


Chase is such a delightful boy, his smile is so contagious. He has so much energy, I tell ya he is NON-STOP all day long. He loves to play "tricks" on all of us. He'll tell us a story about something that "happened" and we will say something like "really" and he will say "I'm just tricking you!" He is thriving in his preschool and loves going so much. His teachers tell me he is very respectful, so smart, and such a big helper. Some of his favorite things to do are ride his bike and/or scooter, go on walks, swim, play any type of sport, play swords with anything that slighty resembles a sword. His favorite colors are orange, green, and blue. His favorite food is lasagna and pizza. And his favorite TV show is Electric Company on PBS. He also loves to try new things. He is so maticulous with anything that he does, from coloring to making his bed, everything has to be done a certain way...just right...(that he does get from his mom.) He is such a wonderful boy and I can't imagine life without him. Happy Birthday bubba. We love you.
