Chase turned 3 on 4-14-11

Chase got this birthday crown from his power hour (it is twice a month at the Lutheran Church and it is where the parents and kids come and do a craft, activity, lesson, and have snacks) He got a card with $3 in it from Great Grandma & Great Grandpa (he was so excited)(just a bad photo)

The morning of his birthday he got to open his presents and I didn't even get a picture of him doing it because I was recording it and didn't think to ask Darren too.

We got the cupcakes and he loves Thomas... for the longest time he has been telling everyone that he will have a thomas cake for his birthday

Showing how old he is now... In his new birthday clothes

Time for the party... Chase invited his friends; Rory, Aubrie, Taylin. This picture is Aubrie and Rory playing the piano when they first got to the house

We had them paint butterfly banks....

Aubrie playing puzzles

We played pin the tail on the donkey. Chase wanted to wear the mask until he got closer and realized he couldn't see. So he took off the mask so he could put the tail on the right spot....

Rory put her tail on top of Chases....

Then we made door hangers....

Then it was present time... Rory gave Chase a Thomas Shake, Shake, Bridge

Taylin gave Chase bubbles and a dart gun...

Aubrie gave Chase some legos and Chase has not let them out of his sight. He won't even let Mason have a turn... Then it was CAKE time.....

Happy Birthday Chase! We love you lots. He is now talking alot better than last year. He still can't say some letter but he is getting alot more understandable. He is funnier and funnier with the things he does and say. He loves to give hugs and kisses. His mom is his best friend. He loves to box and fight with his brother. He still throws tantrums but he is getting alot better. Maybe because we give in more.

Things that have gone on

The boys have built a fort

They painted car and train banks when it was raining and snowing last saturday

Mason has played the drums

Chase loves to do puzzles

We love that Chase can do puzzles and he loves to do them all the time. He can sit for hours and just do all the puzzles we have.

It's Baseball Time

Mason is in Baseball again this year and he will be doing Coach Pitch. There team is called the Diamond Jaxx..... He is #1. Chase wanted his picture with Masons old baseball hat on........

I took my camera to get a photo even though we bought the package.....

Here is the team. It ranges from age 6-8 yrs

Mason's good friends are on the team and there dads are the coaches and so since Mason's birthday misses the cut off they said that he can be on there team instead of having to play t-ball 2 years in a row.(tball is sooooo boring) I am hoping that this year will be more exciting to watch. The coach on the left is named Joe, Then the middle is Seth (Tom's dad), Then Brian (Spencer's dad). They have there first game on Tuesday @ 7pm.

School Carnival 4-1-11

Mason school had there annual school carnival to help raise money for the PTO and School things. They had different games to play and this is the cake walk. Each game cost so many tickets and this was one of the games that cost 2 tickets. But the thing that cost the most tickets was the facing painting and of course they had the longest line. So we did that at the end. You were able to choose from 6 painting choices and Mason of course choice the most manly, which was a pirate.........

Here he is with his friend Ty that also chose the pirate........

One more because they even gave an earing....

Chase was able to play the games as well but he didn't want to get his face painted. They also had snowcones for sale and nachos. We had to try those also and they were pretty good. The boys had fun and it was something to do after school.
