Two Peas in a Pod

Chase and I have been fortunate enough to be able to go to Playgroup and meet some new friends. Among the kids there Chase has really come to love one little boy named Riley..and guess what? His mom's name is Lacey too. Chase and Riley are two months apart and they have so much in common. We have been doing a lot with Lacey and Riley because she is a stay at home mom too. We go to story time, to the park, playgroup, and we even went to A Day Out With Thomas in Oklahoma City, since both of the boys are huge Thomas the Train fans. In this picture of Chase and Riley looking at Thomas they are holding hands, you can't see it, but it was just the cutest thing. They just reached for eachothers hands and were just in awe of Thomas. We got to go and play with all different train tracks, play putt putt, get balloons, meet Sir Tophamm Hatt, get tattoos, color, play with stamps, and, get this, we got to go for a 20 minute train ride on Thomas. The boys were just FULL of excitement. When it was time to go, Chase did NOT want to leave Thomas. He threw the BIGGEST fit I have EVER seen. He refused to walk, he refused to let me hold him, and he refused to get in his car seat. The whole time, Riley was looking at him like he was crazy. After we got Chase in his seat and calmed down we stopped at McDonald's to get "kakup" and french fries (Chase's favorite). It was a very very fun time, and the boys REALLY enjoyed themselves. Not a day goes by that Chase doesn't ask to see "Wiley". They are so much fun to watch together becuase they are so much alike. They get along fairly well, every so often they have their spats over different toys but they can usually work it out. Yesterday we went to a park for the boys and Riley's mom brought his dump truck, and loser mom me didn't even think to bring some toys for the sand pit, i just figured that the park part was fun enough! But, Chase loved that dump truck and was quite determined to keep it from Riley. He set the truck down for a little bit and Riley got a hold of it...and he was even MORE determined to keep the truck from Chase. After Chase chased him around for a few minutes trying to get it back, he gave up and Riley ran down a hill and "hid" the truck from Chase under a picnic table. It was so funny. It is great to see these two interact and come up with the things that they do. 99% of the time they get along great and have so much fun chasing eachother around and playing. Chase loves his Riley. We have talked about getting the boys into sports together and I am so excited to see these two grow up with eachother. They are just too cute and too much fun! Not only is it fun for Chase and Riley, but I have gotten to know a new friend here in Oklahoma. =) Lacey is a great person and I really look up to her and enjoy our chats and going to all the fun little activities with her and the boys.

I have never had to move (out of HSV) in my entire life. The thought of it makes me nervous. How great that you have found a friend pack for you and Chase. I love what you have done with your blog.

Those pics are precious. I love the one of the boys wrestling! Tell Chase not to forget his NateDogg, though!
