for a marathon post! (Who wouldn't be with that cute face to look at throughout the post...? :))
I am finally done with school (at least for a little bit) and I am back into the blogging world. SUPER EXCITED! I finished up the semester last Saturday with a 3.5 GPA...pretty good right? I seriously feel like a whole new person now that I don't have the worries and stresses of school. It is so nice. I have taken this first week to do things that I have been wanting to do , like painting some letters for Chase and Davis' room, organizing some of my stuff, and just surfing the internet for fun. It has been so nice. I also was able to enjoy some beautiful weather with my boys yesterday. We spent 2 1/2 hours at a park with mom and Lacey M. We attempted to fly a kite, it worked okay. It was definitely windy, but after yesterday we wondered if it could ever be too windy to fly a kite? We had lunch and McD's and then we came home. Mom left for a doctor's appointment and Chase, Davis, and I spent the late afternoon walking around the neighborhood. We looked for flowes of all different colors, met a new cute little old man that has a dog, yellow lab, named Babe, and played with another man's (who lives just down the street) dog. He has a black lab named Cat. Chase loves Cat and talks about him EVERY time we pass this man's house. Chase was able to play fetch with Cat and he thought that that was pretty fun. Mom came home and we walked a little longer. She helped Chase ride his new bike up and down the street. It was a wonderful day. I ended it with a sunburn on my forehead and cozying up on the couch to watch American Idol...the day was definitely a good one and one to remember. Oh and I can't forget, when I crawled into bed last night around 11 pm, a huuuuge storm was moving through and the thunder and lightning seriously lasted for like 20 minutes straight. Sometimes the thunder was so loud that my bed rumbled. It was weird. The lightning was definitaly fun to watch. We lost power, but it was restored sometime during the night because it was on when I woke up this morning. 
Chase and Riley flying the Spider-man kite.
Chase on his birthday! He turned 4 May 3. He gave his very first talk in primary that Sunday and it was on Heavenly Father blesses my family when I am baptized and confirmed. He did a great job and he loves to get up there in front of everyone and talk on the microphone. Imagine that! :)
I love Baby D's profile!
This was the best picture I could get of the two monsters together on Chase's birthday. It's almost impossible!
Blowing out FOUR candles! Chase had a great birthday! I can't believe that he is already four years old. Time flies waaaay too fast. For his birthday he got a new bike and accessories from me and a butterfly kit thing where you get baby larvae caterpillars and watch them grow into butterflies. He has totally been into that so I thought what a great gift! Aunt Lexi got him a cool green Hot Wheels skateboard and Nuna and Papa got him a Go, Diego, Go! wii game that he has had tons of fun with. Avery sent Chase a fun card in the mail with some Batman stickers and a dinosaur model to build. He thought that was pretty cool! He also got birthday cards from the primary, Great Grandma Brimhall and Great Grandma Haynie! Jack came over that evening and brought Chase a fun birthday card he colored with a Ring Pop. Birthday's don't get much better than this one!
The coolest bike rider on the block! Chase had NO idea he was getting a bike. Before I brought the bike out to show him I was hiding in the piano room with it and I sat there and honked the horn on it to see what he would do. He just looked around like what in the world is that noise and where is it coming from?! He got pretty excited when I brought it out...I think he likes it! He has had fun learning how to ride a big boy bike.
And on another note, this is how I find my children sleeping at night...Davis all sprawled out and Chase sleeping on the floor...not his bunk bed...I put him to bed and the next morning when I woke up I asked him why he slept on the floor and he claimed that he was coming to get me because he needed to go pee pee...for some reason I don't think that is true. I think he was playing instead. :)
And Baby D...he is 7 months now! I cannot believe it! He is so much fun. He is sitting up completely by himself now and his two little bottom teeth are all the way in. Now his top teeth are cutting through...this has made for TONS of drool. He is such a happy baby...he is so giggly and lovey. He loves to grab your face and slime you with a big wet slobbery kiss. He is a little pip-squeak compared to all the other baby's his age...I think it's because he is so stinkin wiggly and never takes much time to eat. We really struggled with solids at first, but these past few days he has taken them pretty good. He is a fun little boy and so loved by everyone! It won't be long until he starts crawling, he gets himself on his hands and knees pretty often when he is sitting on the floor! He tries really hard to pull himself up, but he hasn't quite accomplished that yet. Not too much longer though. I will hold off on those things as long as I can though! 
Chase is doing great without his paci...he hasn't whined for it once since we threw them away! He is such a good boy. I really can't believe that he is already four years old...it is just crazy to me! He is a fun little boy and has so much life. He wears me out pretty much every day! :) Chase has been a little sick lately, it's actually been kind of nice because he has sort of lost his voice so things have been a little bit more quite around here. He can't yell or talk nearly as loud as he usually does. Haha.
Look at those two cute little teeth!
We just finished up another season of basketball at the Y. We have had so much fun playing the sports there. It is great because they have 1 hour practice a week and then a game on Saturday that usually lasts an hour. Just enough to get out of the house and have something to do, but not too much to where it burns us out. We are getting ready to start Tball at the end of the month, so we are excited for that!
So here is Chase singing the song the primary kids sang in sarament meeting on Sunday. He ost his voice on Monday so it is cute and scratchy in this...and please, don't mind my lovely singing. Ha.
