Swinging, swimming, and playing!!

This summer is going to be packed with fun I am sure! Here are a few pictures of what Chase has been up to these last few days...



Think he has enough toys? And these are just the ones in the front living room!!!



Chase really loves the swing. He got one for his birthday and we put it up in the front yard hanging in the magnolia tree. I REALLY wish I would have taken pictures of his Daddy going up the ladder to hang that up, but I missed that opportunity. I actually don't even have pictures of Chase in that swing to show yet, but he swings in it almost every morning waiting for Daddy to get home. These pictures are of Chase in a park swing in what Danny and I hope to be our future neighborhood in the next year or so....







Chase also went down the slide a few times with Daddy, oh what fun!



Chase also got a pool for his birthday and got to try it out for the first time the other day. He LOVED it. He seems to be a little water baby...









Chase usually goes to bed around 8:30. He is in his pj's and ready for bed by 8 though, because he still LOVES the show Wow Wow Wubzie. I usually give him his bath and put him in the pack and play to watch his program while I clean up the bathroom and get his bed ready. Here he is, with his bouncy balls (which are always a huge part of the Wubzie show, only they are called kickity kick balls) sitting and watching the show...

Going to the Zoo!

I can't say enough how much I LOVE being a zoo friend!!!! That has got to be one of the best buys we have made, we have definitely used it enough to pay for itself that's for sure! Chase is really starting to get into the zoo too, he is noticing the animals more and as soon as he can walk, (which I think will be any day now), he is going to love being able to play on the playground. Here is a few pictures from our last couple of visits...















Snack time!!!















Chase gets to ride the train! He was so excited!!! So was his Daddy...



Family self portrait!



Daddy learning more about his ancestors...

BIRTHDAY AT DEEDEE AND BOBO'S!!

We had a birthday party at DeeDee and Bobo's house today. It was a lot of fun!!! I can't believe Chase is turning ONE!!! Chase got lots of neat birthday presents and got to play with his cousins, he was so worn out by the end of the party!



Bobo pushed Chase around the house in his new tricycle...





Then Leah pushed her cousin around for awhile..



And Bobo went outside to grill up the hot dogs!!!



After dinner it was time for presents!!!




What's next!?!?









After presents it was time for CAKE! Chase is really into the bouncy balls, so I went to Reasor's and had them make a cake for Chase with bouncy balls... the cake lady said oh sure! We can do that!! Well, it kind of turned out more like a few colored lumps on his cake, but oh well it was still yummy...



Reasor's makes a mini cake for first birthdays, and Chase definitely enjoyed his own personal serving...













After pigging out on cake, DeeDee gave Chase a bath and got him all cleaned up. Then we went upstairs to play a little more before heading home...





Too much cake, and too much one year old celebrating and things can get a little out of control....







I love my family!!! What a fun day!!!

ONE YEAR OLD PICTURES!!!

So, after our disappointing experience with the Picture People at Easter, we decided to return to our beloved Bernice at Sears for Chase's one year old pictures... and I am so pleased with the result!

Chase is REALLY into cars and bouncy balls right now so we had to get some pics with those toys in them!
