SNOW FUN!

We made it up to Snowflake yesterday for Christmas and there has been plenty of snow to play in. This is Chandlar's first time really playing in the Snow. She had so much fun....even though it was freezing out!! But I don't think it bothered her one bit. She stayed out and played in it for much longer than I thought she would. She had a blast making snowballs and sledding with her cousins.

Making Snow Balls

She threw her snow ball in the air and it landed right on top of her. It was so cute!!

  

I have a video of her sledding down the drive way with her dad. Its nice that Skylar's parents live on the hill...I will post that soon.

Chase turns 1 !

Today was Chase's 1st birthday. I can't believe how quickly the year went by. It seem like yesterday I was bring him home from the hospital. We had a fun filled day of eating lunch at Costa Vida, shopping, playing outside, and the usual birthday cake and presents.  He was so mellow the whole time while eating his piece of cake, it was quite funny how neat he was. I wanted him at least to get a little dirty...haha, but oh well. He is such a sweet little boy and filled with so much love and smiles.  We absolutely love him to pieces and glad he chose to be with our family!

I love this! I told him to show me 1 and he actually did it!! Yay!

He loved the candle

 Eating his cake so calmly.

I feel like I don't talk a lot about my little boy. He's hardly little, he his a studly chunk weighing 23 lbs. He is truly amazing is so many ways. He learns and catches on to things so fast by watching his big sister. He loves to climb things and works very hard to climb just about anything. He's conquered climbing up the slide,  the kitchen tables chairs, the kid size chairs, laundry baskets that are upside down, the ottaman, and anything else that is at his level that he can find. I kid you not this kid is fascinated with anything electronic. He loves to turn on and off the tv, loves the ipad, the phones, computer and anything else that is technology...haha, he cracks me up!! Lets just say he take after his dad. :) Chase can say hi, mama, dada, thank you, and plays peek a boo and 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed. I love all the boy noises he makes. He is 100% boy for sure! He folds his arms for prayers, and walks around so well. He hasn't quite figured out yet how to stand up on his own, but I'm so proud of him and all the milestones he has accomplished so far. We sure do love him!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHASER BOY!!

Halloween 2011

Halloween was pretty low key this year. I feel bad that we didn't really do anything on the actual day of halloween but we were pretty partied and candy out from the previous weeks of celebrating. I'm sure glad my hubby has his phone on him all the time to capture things  like the kids in their costumes!!

Chandlar as a "nice switch" as she calls it! :)

Skeleton Chase!

A Special Day for a Special Girl!!

  Chandlar had her 3rd birthday about 3 weeks ago. I wanted her to feel special on her special day!! 

So...... We did lots of special things!

 I took

her to get a pretty pedicure and manicure 

( a big thank you to one of my sister's who help me out with this)

Ordered her a special princess cake

and even sang the Happy birthday song to her more than once!

 At home 

and at the park with special people!!

She also received lots of presents which I'm sure made her feel nothing but special!! 

It was fun to make her feel so special.  She deserved it!! I hope she had a great birthday and knows how much we love her!

Our Labor Day Adventure

This year we ventured out and did something a little different for Labor Day. We decided to go visit some family in Utah. We had so much fun on our first trip back in June that we wanted to go again. I cannot complain, I am so blessed to have such good kids. They did awesome traveling, besides the fact that Chandlar decided to throw up in the car when we were about 5 minutes away from Provo. I think she got a little car sick from playing a game on the ipad, but we cleaned her up and put her to bed and she was just fine the rest of the time.

On the way there we stopped in Moab and let the kiddos play for a while. The weather was beautiful there.

We got to go to the Hogle Zoo with one of my sisters! Thanks Sis.

Wish I had a picture with the whole gang. But it was fun and the kids loved all the animals. We also had the opportunity to visit Temple Square....like always, it so peaceful and beautiful there. We enjoyed all the neat water falls too.

We couldn't go with out stopping by BYU Creamery to grab some ice cream! Seriously the best ice cream there is!  So good...it was well worth it!!

We also enjoyed a picnic, the nice scenery of Utah, feeding ducks, and other fun filled activities with the fam.

I hope we can go back soon to visit again. We loved being there and spending time with the ones we love.  So nice, so relaxing, so thankful for the time spent there!

Although I don't have anything posted yet, there will be in the next few weeks or so. I'm so excited to share this adventure with all of you bloggers. I made a link on the right hand sidebar to make it easy for some to visit. So come check it out when you can!

Chandlar and Chase { July 2011}

I absolutely love how these pictures turned out. I am for one not a great photographer but I was pretty impressed how these photos turned out! I have been up at the White Mountains for the past week, having girls camp, spending time with my parents and celebrating 4th of July. It was so nice to be up there and out of the heat for a while. One evening while we were enjoying the weather on the front porch of my parents house I snapped a few photos of these two adorable kids. I love them to death!!
