Chase is 5!

My baby boy is FIVE years old!?!

These last 5 years have gone so fast!  

But they have been the most rewarding, fulfilling, challenging, amazing, 

wonderful 5 years of my life!

We went out for lunch, and Chase chose chocolate cheese cake as his cake of choice.  After that, we went and saw a movie at our favorite spot.  In sticking to this year's Birthday Theme, we saw the movie "Pirates".

He had a great birthday, and we loved sharing it with him!  

Now to get ready for his party this weekend.  :)

I'm a T-Ball Mom :)

Chase joined T-Ball!

I'm so excited to watch his games.  

I have been looking forward to cheering my babies on, for as long as I can remember!  

He looks so cute with his t-ball outfit!

My little superstar, running into Home.

 Chase with his #1 Fan- his personal cheerleader, Olivia.

I'm so proud of him, and so happy to be opening up another chapter with him!  :)

A day at the Park...

First Camping Trip of the Season!

Finally!  It's camping season!  

 We had a great time!  The kids swam in the river...

 And we all got new squirt guns, so there were a lot of squirt gun fights!

 The kids played at the park as well.
They thought it would be funny to bury Chase in the sand.  

 We roasted weenies, and made s'mores...

 Had such a busy day that Chase fell asleep right at the camp fire.

Great weekend!  So happy Summer is here, and we can camp our hearts out!  :)

Farewell PreSchool

Chase on his last day of PreSchool

June 2012

 Parents and siblings came in for the last half of the class.  We all sat together as their teacher read to us.

After that we did arts and crafts.  The kids made their own puppets.

Olivia loved spending the day playing with the big kids.

 Chase and I made treats for him to pass out to his teachers and classmates.

 For his teachers: You are O-"fish"-ally the best!

 For his classmates: Hope your Summer is a real treat!

I loved Chase's teachers, and I could not have asked for a better experience for both he, and I, as his Mommy.

Beauty Day

We decided to 'style' Olivia's hair today.  

First we blew dry it...

Then we straightened it.
It has grown so much, and I wanted to see how long it actually is now.

I couldn't believe she sat there so patiently, but she did.  And her hair looked so cute straight!

Her usual untamed curls and waves, definitely suit her.  

But it was fun to see her with a different look.

 My little fashionista!  Beautiful on the inside, and out!

We were very proud.  :)
