Chase's 2nd Birthday Day!!!

Yes, my underprivileged son celebrated his 2nd birthday with three different celebrations... But these pictures were his actual birthday celebration pictures. We had great day, in the morning he opened MORE presents, then we were off to the zoo, that evening we had dinner with DeeDee!!!



Time for the zoo!!! Chase LOVES the penguin display...



That evening we celebrated with DeeDee. And Chase cashed in there with an electric Thomas that he can drive!!!

Chase's Incredible Pizza Party!!

We had Chase's birthday party at Incredible Pizza this year. It was nice not having to clean up and prepare anything, it was a fun day!


The party hostess got a game of Hot Potato going... I don't think Chase really understood, but he sure did have fun!!!




Birthday Cake!!!!

Play time!!!

Baby shower and Birthdays!

Chase is going to have another cousin in a few weeks! We celebrated Wendy and Tim's baby boy and we are so excited to meet him!


After the baby shower we had quite a few birthdays and Grampy's retirement to celebrate! There was a lot to be excited about in the month of May at the Hartman's!
Beautiful Aunt Debbie, Uncle Red, Mason, and Chase all had birthday's in May...

Chase was a little too excited about the tracks on the cake and thought he should drive his train on them...oops!

Birthday presents and fun play time!!!

Easter 2011

On Palm Sunday, we had a nice service at our church and then the Easter bunny came for a visit and the egg hunt was on! Chase was not too sure what to think of the bunny, in fact, I don't think he thought too much for him. He pretty much ran from him whenever he got close. Little did he know it was daddy under that costume!!!




Easter morning was kind of a rainy and cold start, and unfortunately, Chase did not get to wear his cute shorts outfit that I had planned for Easter service. Oh well. After church, we headed over to Aunt Linda's for the Easter celebration! Chase had a blast!! He got an awesome Easter box from Aunt Linda and Uncle Terry, and of course there were TONS of eggs to hunt! This year we had to hunt them inside, but that didn't stop Chase... he ended up with over ten dollars of prize money from the eggs!!!

We will never know....

how in the world Chase got this big car quietly up the side of his crib and over the top so it could be in bed with him while he napped...

A BAD BOY, A BOO BOO, and A BIRTHDAY

The other day I found Chase in the laundry room, ON TOP of the washing machine. I couldn't believe it. I said Chase... show mommy how you did that? He said, "okay" and was so proud of himself as he showed me how he did it...




With Chase fearlessly climbing on everything, it's bound to happen for him to get hurt. This one was bad, probably worse for me than it was for Chase because I witnessed the whole fall in what seemed to be slow motion. Chase was in a chair on our back porch, when before I could even react, had stood up and was falling over backwards off the porch into the freshly laid mulch in the garden. He went face first and was literally inches from smacking his face right on a pipe that sticks out of the ground. It scared me to death!!! He was pretty tough, between sobs he kept assuring me saying "I'm okay I'm okay" and as soon as I had him cleaned up he was back in action as if nothing had happened, I however, am still traumatized.




We went to Chase's cousin Leah's 3rd birthday party in Pryor. It was a lot of fun! It was a carnival theme, and Uncle David even dressed up as a clown. Chase had a lot of fun running around with all the kids outside!
