My dinner dates...

Jason has been working swing shifts, my absolute least favorite shift. He leaves for work around 2pm and doesn't get home until after 1am in the morning (some nights not until 3am depending on how busy he is). He sleeps in in the morning and usually can only join us for lunch before it's time to get ready for the next night's work. Good thing I have the boys to keep me company! Tonight we dined with the trains and had a real family meal complete with Thomas and his friends. You can see what a thrill this was for Colby in the first picture, that boy loves his trains!

Dinner Guests...

Colby invited Roger, Mack and Gil to join us for dinner tonight.

As you can see, we were all having a great time together!

Chasey invited Lightning who rode in on the orange truck. We had a full house!

Handsome Fella...

I realize these last posts have had far more Chasey pics than Colby and that is because Colby has decided that he does not like his picture taken. It has to be on his own terms and he has to be in the right mood. Fortunately Chasey remains the ham he always was and is always camera ready!

Hanging out with Baby Slade...

Aunty Mindy and baby Slade came over to talk about wedding plans, as you can tell by Chasey's expression...we were thrilled!

Chasey felt like such a big boy helping to feed baby Slade...

Colby took his turn much more seriously!

Chasey absolutely loved holding Slade, he held him for over 10 minutes (which is a long time for a 2 year old to sit still!)

I was 'oohh-ing and aahhh-ing' when Chasey reminded me to be quiet for Slade's little ears....

Chasey loves his little cousin!

Colby wanted to hold Slade too, Slade was so cooperative and patient with his cousins!

Just look at that smile! He is such a doll!

Happy boys!

I love love love this picture!

THANK HEAVEN FOR LITTLE BOYS!!!!

Who is this goof??

Life is never boring with Chasey in the house! I have no idea how he got the idea to put socks on his hands as gloves and use the pillow as his hat. He is a goofy boy!

Tyler and Daniel's Fan Club...

Colby and Chasey love to watch Tyler and Daniel wrestle, of course they eventually end up wrestling each other on the mats, they get so inspired by their uncles!

Chasey's New Friend...

We were at the Wag N Wash getting some food for Bauer when Chasey disappeared. I was able to find him on one of the shelves getting to know his new kitty friend. This is the most tolerant cat in the world and layed there nicely while Chasey pet him. Now Chasey wants to go to Wag N Wash all the time to see his kitty!

Chasey's New Hat



Chasey found a Valentine's basket and decided to put it on his head...

He couldn't have been more thrilled with himself!

Time with friends...

We met up with Miss Hay, Logan and Gabey Gabe at The Wildlife Experience. It is always a good time when we get the four boys together!

The boys were watching Toy Story, in order to watch it properly they both have to be holding their specific Toy Story toys. Colby always gets the little Buzz and gets the giant one for Chasey. There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful to Pixar for making movies that entertain the boys and the parents!

While Colby was at preschool Chasey and I went to US Toy Constructive Playthings, basically the coolest kid store EVER! It is a teacher store but has tons of fun stuff for parents too and everything is super affordable! I was busy shopping and turned around to see Chasey had dissappeared and was replaced by a rough and tough cowboy with a horse! That boy keeps me laughing!

My little ham...

Mild Winter...

As I write this it is May so I think it's fair to say we had a mild winter (of course I never would have said that in February in fear I would jinx it!). Who would have thought February would be warm enough for tshirts and playing in the back?! I know I am a Colorado native but that doesn't mean I like the snow. I really think I was meant to be by the ocean!

Kids Eat Free at Chili's!

Tuesday night kids eat free at Chilis. Jason and I decided to capitalize on this!

Colby was pooped from a busy day and didn't want to cooperate with any photos.

Chasey on the other hand is a complete ham and is always up for a photo shoot!

I can't believe what a big boy he has become, growing right before my eyes!

Family Time...

We started with an outing to the Wildlife Experience...

Thankfully the boys liked looking at the frogs, they gave me the creeps. All slimy and fat, yuck!

My two previous sons and my amazing husband, I am so blessed!

Colby's favorite animal is an elephant, as soon as he saw it he shouted, "My elephant!"

Chasey was not a fan of the people statues, I can't say that I blame him...they were a little creepy.

Mommy and daddy both got some time to capitalize on his fears and get in some good snuggles.

We all love sharks!

Who would have thought our dates would change so dramatically?!

Mama and Chasey...

I just had to include this picture, who would have come up with this idea? It is so wrong in so many ways...

Thanks to Pa John and Barbara we had a gift certificate to The Outback. Colby loved playing with coasters, he called them his cakes and we sang happy birthday several times...
