Walking in Daddy's Shoes

Last weekend, I caught Chase walking through the house with Billy's shoes on. It's sad to think that one day his feet will be that big! He loves his Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Cooper! - Oct. 25, 2008

Last Saturday, we went to the Natural Science Museum for Cooper's fifth birthday party. There were so many kids running around Chase didn't know what to think. Nevertheless, he enjoyed eating birthday cake and then running that sugar off on the playground. Hope you had a great birthday, Cooper!

Pumpkin Carving Party - Oct. 24, 2008

Last Friday night, we went to our old neighbors' house, Brandon and Amy, for a pumpkin carving party. It was so much fun, especially for the kids. They had halloween balls to play kick, bouncing balls to sit on, a pumpkin pinata, bonfire, hay ride, pumpkin carving contest, and the cutest Halloween decorations and goodies! Chase even found a playmate. Thanks Brandon and Amy for such a fun night!! Here are the pics......

The Pumpkin Patch - Oct. 18, 2008

Two weekends ago, Billy's cousin Dana, her husband Brandt and daughter Paris came to visit. We had so much fun while they were here. We visited the pumpkin patch where we rode on a hay ride, saw all kinds of animals, picked out our pumpkins, ran through hay mazes and climbed stacks of hay bales. We all had a blast! Chase really enjoyed getting to play with Paris. Even though she is 8 years old, she was such a trooper playing with Chase and his train set and other toys. We can't wait to see them again!! Here are a few pictures that I took before the batteries ran out on my camera.

Chase has a secret.........

That's right - Chase is going to be a Big Brother!! We are so excited!!! The baby is due May 12, 2009. I don't think Chase really grasps the whole concept yet, but he LOVES the babies at day care, and is such a good helper already. I think he will soar into his role as Big Brother!! And as long as we have a healthy baby, we don't care if he gets a little brother or sister!! I'll keep you updated as my pregnancy progresses.

Fun at the Fair

Last Saturday we took Chase to the MS State Fair. We had soooo much fun!!!! He's finally old enough to really start enjoying it and participating in some of the rides. Of course, the first thing we had to do was ride the horsie!! After that, he and Daddy went down the gigantic slide together. I tried to video it, but the video didn't turn out good. Still, Chase loved it!! Next, we let him ride the carousel. Then on to the kiddie rides. I can't tell you how strange it was to put my child on a ride and let him ride by himself!! He's gotten so big!! But the funniest thing was to watch other kids get on the ride with Chase and see his little facial expressions. It was too cute!! The last thing we did before pigging out was ride the ferris wheel together. I've put together a slide show of all the pictures I took. What a fun family outing!!

Happy Birthday Joe!

Joe had a birthday in September. So we threw him a BIG birthday party, with a cake, balloons, presents and food galore! He seemed to really enjoy it and said that it was the first birthday cake he ever had!! We love you Joe and hope you had a GREAT birthday!!
