HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

We decided to take some pictures before church for MOTHER'S DAY but out of the pictures this was the best one......

We had the hardest time getting everyone to focus on the camera or sit still.... Mason is being funny and Chase is about to cry......

Now Chase is crying and Mason is being good..... it was hard to get them the same but hey it is our life...... Chase is crying alot and Mason, well he isn't this nice.....

Mason showing off the AWESOME CARDS he made me!

Just wanted another look at the pictures. Today was an ok day. We went to church and it is the hardest thing ever for Chase. He CRIES and is LOUD. We try so hard to keep him still or quite but he just doesn't want to be in the row, he wants to be CRAWLING around. If you go to pick him up he SCREAMS, then everyone looks at you. So we have to take him out to the halls. Then he still isn't happy. This stage of life for him is tough. We love him lots and Mason as well but Some times I wonder along with many others who have done this before," WHY ARE WE EVEN GOING TO CHURCH WHEN WE ARE IN THE HALLS MORE THAN IN THE MEETINGS!" I know that the blessing will come and we are teaching our children the importance of going to church. But with that I didn't have to go to Primary today because the Young men took over for the day and Darren took Chase for the remainder of the time so I could go to Relief Society. So that was way nice. Thanks to Darren for that. I hope that everyone had a good Mother's Day!

BOYS... BOYS.... BOYS.....

This is pictures showing you what Chase does to you when you lay on the floor or when your next to the sofa and he wants to get something......

He is almost there.. using all he gots to pull himself up...... and then he.....

FALLS ON YOUR FACE..... POKES YOUR EYES.......

Doing all of this, he thinks he is so funny...... But it hurts the person he is on top of........

Falling off the couch...... He doesn't know how to get off the couch but he sure thinks that he can!

HE IS GETTING READY TO ATTACK THE CAMERA...... WATCH OUT!

Showing off how big he is when he stands........... He stands alot but not for a long time.

Mason's NEW summer hair cut...... I bought clippers to buzz his hair and he kept saying to me it is pulling my hair. So we stopped and went to a Smart Cuts and just had them buzz it off. Hopefully it will take a long time to grow back.. But through this experience I like his hair longer.

Being one funny guy..... Mason thinks he is hilarious..... He is always making funny faces and trying to tell knock knock jokes..... He must come from his dad.

Darren wanted to take a picture of Mason's Calf Muscles to show how big they are but the picture just doesn't quite compare to real life experience you will have when you see them.

What NICE Boys I Have

Today we went to the store to get some MOTHERS DAY CARDS and MASON was with me. He saw these flowers and with the nices voice he says," I want to buy these for you mom, for mothers day". I told him no thats ok but he really wanted them that he took them out of the pot himself, and kept telling me that he wanted to buy them. So I let him get them. When we went to check out the lady said those are pretty and Mason says they are for my mom. So she handed them to Mason and he looks at me and says,"I LOVE YOU MOM".

MASON AND CHASE showing off the flowers he picked out for me. He was being very thoughtful.

Posing with the flowers. What NICE Boys I have to be thinking about me and wanting to get me something for a change instead of themselves.

Chase posing with the flowers. He tried to eat them several times. Then after we went to the store we were able to go get lunch thanks to OPRAH and her KFC give away.

It was the new grilled chicken meal. It was taste and FREE which makes it taste even better. The boys also love the food. Mason and I made a picnic out of it. It was a good day and Mason was so proud that he bought me flowers and got to have a special lunch.

How Different They are OR are They?

Mason is the BIGGEST sports fan out there. Especially when it comes to BASKETBALL. He is always playing basketball and watching the basketball games on TV. Here he is watching the games and then he plays along with them.

Showing off his SUNS BASKETBALL AND UNIFORM! He really feels like STEVE NASH when he wears his Suns clothes.

Here is Chase trying to get into the cubboard. He loves to get in there and pull out everything. He also loves to eat food. We had child locks on the cupboards but one of them was broke, until DARREN had his day off and fixed it. So now there is no getting the cupboards.

WATCHING TV! Even though CHASE is small, every once in awhile he watches TV with his brother.

Here would be Mason watching TV as well. These boys are so different in everyday life but there is one thing that makes them the same and that is watching TV. They love the TV. If Mason gets out of control I will say," Wanna watch something?", and he is always willing to watch TV. Chase will stop what he is doing to see what is going on and then he makes his move and goes to the TV and turns it off by pushing the buttons. Which makes Mason mad but we have to remind him that he would do the same thing when he was younger.

KITE FLYING & FAMILY SOCCER

It was WINDY again today so we decided we would take MASON to go fly his kite. He has been wanting to fly it for awhile and no better day to go than today!

Running as fast as he could go but we were having a hard time getting the kite high in the sky. We are not very good kite flyers.

This picture just worked out that they were all there. Mason was showing off the kite.

When your going to go out in the sun you better grab your shades or aleast your moms. CHASE loves to play with the glasses.

A photo of us watching DARREN and MASON playing soccer and CHASE WATCHING ME. I think he thinks I am weird looking in these glasses. Which they are weird but they work.

MASON is a huge sports fan! He loves to play them all and is always playing in our house. So we took him to a soccer field and he was in heaven.

Scoring a goal on his dad!!!!

Getting ready to kick the ball!

LOOK AT THAT FACE! VERY SERIOUS.

COME ON MASON! YOU CAN SCORE ANOTHER GOAL ON DAD!!!!!

CHASE EXPLORING HIS STROLLER. HE SAW SOME FOOD IN THE SEAT AREA AND IS TRYING TO GET.

Now they are ALL out playing! This is when the game got good!

CHASE GOT THE BALL! GO CHASE! GO CHASE! Score a goal.

Darren took the camera and thought that there should be a picture of me playing soccer. Mason even scored goals on me.

It was almost time to leave and MASON WANTED TO PLAY VOLLEYBALL. I guess it works like a net.

CHASE LOVED TO PLAY AND STAND! HE LOVED EATING THE DIRT! (gross)
Check out the Hair do here!

Most of you know how MASON loves to climb the door frames in the house well he LOVES to climb anything. Here he is climbing the soccer pole. We then took MASON to get a HAPPY MEAL at OLD MCDONALDS but we went through the drive threw because the play area grosses me out! Also to be safe with the SWINE FLU. I JUST WANTED TO MENTION ABOUT THE FLU for journaling. This was another fun DAY OFF we were able to have with DARREN and no one being sick. We love to do stuff as a family.

FUN IN THE SUN

We decided to pull out the slip n slide after we had gotten all the chores done around the house. CHASE LOVED IT! He just crawled back and forth. While his older brother would......

SIT at the end of it in the pool area. MASON hated the water splashing him in the face.

Here was the picture of CHASE making it to the end and getting ready to turn around. But still MASON is not wanting to do it.

CHASE would just let the water hit his face on purpose. There was times when CHASE would choke on the water but most of the time he loved having it fall on him.

I just loved this one of CHASE just sitting there letting the water hit him and as you can see his brother never left his spot. Mason did go down one time, by just laying down and standing up. MASON asked if we could get out the pool and put away the slip n slide. WHICH WE DID!

SO then MASON came alive. He was all over the pool sliding around and even put the slide in to slide into the pool. CHASE would still just crawl from one side to the other and then would try to stand.

CHASE has the happiest face ever. There is even enough room for DARREN to join in the fun.

JUST A SHOT OF THE SWIMMER AND THE CLIMBER. CHASE WOULD MAKE ME NERVOUS WATCHING HIM CLIMB BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID HE WOULD SLIP.

SPLASHING IN THE WATER!!!! MASON looks cold but DARREN actually took warm water from the kitchen sink to fill the pool with. DARREN said, "I am not about to get in the pool with cold water." MASON really was wanting his dad to get in the pool. Which was even better for someome to watch CHASE.

THEY ARE SO CUTE AND THEY LOOK VERY INNOCENT. Look at the hair, CHASE'S goes flat to the head and MASON'S still stands up in the front.

CHASE loves the camera and always is trying to grab it when taking pictures.

This was VERY funny! DARREN had CHASE facing him to take off his shirt when CHASE REACHED UP AND PINCHED ONTO DARREN'S NIPPLE. CHASE did it alot and even stuck both hands up and grabbed them both at the same time. I just had to take a picture!

This photo shows what a hot body CHASE has. You can even see the water dropping off his stomach. Today was very fun and All three boys loved playing in the water.
