Spring 2009

So I have not blogged in quite some time. Its been super busy. I will blog as I add pictures of the most recent events....


So Chase turned 1 on April Fool's Day and loved his cake....





On Sat April 3 we had a combo party for Charlie's 40th and Chase's 1st!


Charlie has an abnormal fear of clowns so we gave every guest a clown nose and has a few family members wear some masks while we sang Happy Birthday!


On April 7, 2009 @ 11:17am Quinzy Mikal was born weighing 7lbs. 14oz. and 21" long.

Isn't Brian's second child, first son, so cute! He resembles Lilly a lot...

Easter Sunday was a blast... Chase had a great day, started with Easter Mass, on to T. Tammy's for lunch, and then on to Tia Fatima's for dessert.





Of Course, Charlie had to get "into" the Easter Egg Hunt...



Can you tell how much fun "Grandpa" has with his grandkids....


















Off to Florida to visit Vavo & Vovo












First time experiencing all that the beach has to offer!












Nap Time @ the Beach!


Good Times with Cody & Kayla!




Say "Bye-bye" to FL.
Chase actually did really well on the plane to & from FL. I was really anxious, but he slept a hour there and the whole way back! He did however pull the gentleman's hair in front of us, luckily he was kind and stated, "Don't worry, its falling out on its own anyway!"




These are some random pictures taken on a beautiful 85 degree day... Chase also took his first steps on this day!! So exciting, and of course, I cried!!










Its so funny when they are all together! Its also very chaotic, I have no idea how one couple handles more than 2!!!!

February 2009

Chase was not a big fan of the snow suit, but it was so much fun for us to have him with us on Loon Mtn. We want to make it a family trip every year!

It is so funny to watch Lilly & Chase play. Of course, they always want whatever toy the other one has. Lilly loves to push Chase around the house. Its so funny to see them together, but we have to be very cautious... She pushed him right into the wall!



Hailey is now developing her own personality. Its so fun to watch her "watch" Lilly & Chase.

Cousins

So on Lilly's 1st Birthday, the three cousins were together. Here are some interesting pics, that show some possible future dynamics....

9 Month Doctor Appt.

So Chase had his 9 month appt. He is now weighing 21.5 lbs / his height is 28.5" / which puts him in the 75th percentile. This also makes him heavier than Lilly and a 1/2" shorter than her (She's 1). Crazy!
He was a trooper and didn't even notice he had a shot.
He is cutting his 4 top teeth though; and its been a challenge to sleep and get him to drink his bottle. Motherhood..... oh and to top it all off, he's really close to walking! He is just starting to let go and try and hold his balance. He also knows how to maneuver up the stairs! This is all so very nerve wracking....
