Chase is four!!

I know it's been months since I've updated the blog. For any that actually read our blog, I'm sorry. I just haven't really had the motivation to lately. But there's a lot to update on, so I figured I should get with it and update. ;o) There's going to be several posts, and I apologize for it....

Our little boy is four years old!! Wow! Where did the time go? He has really grown a lot in the past few years. Especially with his speech. He is talking SO much better now and SO much. Sometimes too much. ;o) The other night at the dinner table, he was jabbering away about everything and anything he could. Then he randomly says, "I talk all the time...and I don't stop." Haha!! It made me laugh. Guess I've said that a few too many times to him. LOL

Anyway, by the time Chase's birthday came around, we still hadn't gotten any paychecks in. But I found this really cute and fun jumping place to take him to on his special day. They had a deal on Thursdays and we went for it. They had several jumping castles and like 6 slides. Plus a little arcade area. Unfortunately, we found out they went out of business in June. :o( I was so disappointed. 

Climbing up this ginormous slide!!

LOL...goofball

Playing dead after he went down the slide...

They "played" with the arcade games for like 15 minutes before they actually went on the jumping castles. LOL...Stinkers. I never paid for any of them. They thought they were playing from the little mini demos.

When we left, they gave each of them a
lollypop. They gave it for free cause Kyler
kept trying to get into the candy, but I
told him no. They were so sweet! It's really
too bad the business isn't around anymore.

 We finally started getting paychecks coming in and I decided to have a party for him in June. My mom and my sister were out here then so I had extra help,  which was SO greatly appreciated. Thank you guys for all your helped out with. Especially you, mom. I really did appreciate it all. We invited people from the ward playgroup and some old friends of mine. We had the pool up and the sprinklers. And we even had a little water balloon fight. The kids had a blast!! Thank you so much to all that came! 

Carlie and Jen (from the ward). Carlie lives behind us.
And Ileah (an old friend) in the middle. ;o)

We played a game of pin the tail on the donkey.
I felt bad I didn't have any prizes.

My nephews, Ezra and Makai

Kyler, being a ham as usual...LOL

Chase loved that so many of his friends came to celebrate with him. He had a lot of fun!!

How adorable is this face??

Chase is growing up so fast! He's still a huge handful, but I doubt that will ever change. ;o) We love our little stinker so much anyway!! Happy Birthday buddy! Love you more each day!!
