I Hope They Call Me on a Mission!

Chase and I had a cute talk about missionaries and him going on a mission tonight.

We started talking about how Chase was growing too fast and getting too big. Mom then asked Chase if he was going on a mission.

Chase: No, I don't want to leave you mommy.
Me: Well, you aren't going on a mission yet. You go when you get bigger.
Chase: Well you can come with me mommy!
Me: That would be fun. Where do you wanna go on your mission Chase?
Chase: Up to the mountains...with all the mishyaries. (missionaries)
Me: Up to the mountains? That would be a really fun place to go! Then I asked, Chase do you know what missionaries do?
Chase: Uh-uh.
Me: They go around and they teach people about Jesus.
Chase: Whoa...that will be fun.
Of course, we all smiled and laughed. I think I have a good future missionary on my hands! :)

Oh Chase...

On Monday night I came home from class arond 8:30. I sat down at the table to eat my dinner that was left for me. We had barbeque sandwiches and there were two small ziploc bags of chips left for me. I began to eat a little bit of one bag and a few minutes later Chase came into the kitchen and told me that we was "soooo hungwee" so I gave him my chips to finish. About 5 minutes later, after I had started to munch on the second bag of chips, Chase came in and told me that he was still "soooo hungwee" so again, I gave him the other bag of chips to eat. He took a few steps out of the kitchen and then turned to me and said, "Thanks mom, for wetting me have EVEWEESING!" It was the cutest ever because he said it with so much vigor and excitement. I loved it. :) He is such a sweet boy!

I can usually only get pictures of him making silly faces...

Chase was eating a bag of cheerios last night and he told me that they were SO yummy. I asked him what they tasted like and he told me chicken! Later, I told him to tell papa what his cheerios tasted like and he told papa hot dogs! I think I had a hungry little monster on my hands!

One day while we were driving in the car Chase told me that he loved me "sooo soooo sooooo much!" I then replied to him and said and said "Well, Chase I love you to the moon and back!" He replied and said, "well mom, I love you all the way to Jesus and back!"

Chase is now in sunbeams and has really enjoyed it so far. It gets hard for the little ones to sit still all through sharing time, but I would say that they are champs! I am the primary secretary right now and I absolutely love it. I love being involved with the kids and getting to see and learn what Chase is learning. Plus, it doesn't hurt that one of my good friends is the president! :)Chase LOVES his "Baby D" (that's what he calls him!)And I would have to say that Baby D loves his Chase! Davis often stares at Chase with a look of awe on his face...it's pretty cute!So the picture above--I know it's not the best quality, focus, etc. but I just love love love love love it! I can't believe Davis is almost 5 months old! (ON MONDAY!) He has grown SO much! We have started him on a little bit of solids...so far just cereal and a little applesauce. He seems to do okay with it. The first few times went like they always do...messy! He is warming up to it and does quite well now!He always has a little smile on is face for you! He is such a sweetie! He loves to be held and be right there doing everything that you are doing. His little hands are getting good. He's pulled at my plate quite a few times and almost thrown them off the table! He loves to have something in his hands and to look at. He has started to giggle and is pretty ticklish. It's cute. He also loves his jumperoo...he will spend a good 5 -10 minutes in it just jumping around like crazy! Needless to say, he has some strong little legs. He loves to "stand up" while you hold him. He is such a fun little boy!

He loves to go out and bounce around on the trampoline too. He gives you some cute little giggles. :)

I think like just about any baby, he loves to play with paper. That is what he is doing above. It's not the best picture, but it shows off that sweet smile of his! He is now able to roll from his belly to his back and then from his back to his belly. Last night I ran to the store with Lexi so that she wouldn't have to go alone and I left the boys with mom. She was busy and so she set Davis on the floor and just let him cry. She said he got quite angry and rolled himself all over the living room. What a little goober! He is so active and loves to have you right there in his face talking and playing with him!

And I absolutely love this picture. What a sweet little boy! He is so happy and just a pleasant baby! I am so lucky to have him! At his 4 month check up he was in the 50th percentile in weight and 75th in height and head. So he is a long lean little guy, although he does have his cute little chubs! :) He is a little pipsqueak compared to some other babies in the ward, but that is just fine with me!

PS-be sure to check out the post below...it's a new one too!

Shootin' Hoops!

We just got done playing a season of basketball at our local YMCA and Chase (as did I and Mom) had a BLAST! We were on the team called the "Tigers." We joined the team without knowing a single person, but quickly made new friends! We had an awesome coach who was ever so patient with the kids and so encouraging! Chase LOVED Coach Justin and he loved going to practice and games to play with his friends. Our team didn't make a single basket all season, but that's just fine...we had fun anyway, and they never knew the difference!

DEFENSE! They had the kids wear wristbands that matched with another player on their team so that they knew who they were supposed to defend. Those are Chase's "defense arms." (He is #22)

This is a fun little clip of Chase playing during a game...sorry the camera is a little shaky, I would forget that I was recording while I was cheering! We had a fun fun season! Way to go tigers!

I made this cake for the little party we had at the end of the season! We went to McDonald's and let the kids run free in the play area while we all visited. We had a great time and look forward to playing another season of basketball!
