Merry Christmas!!

My apologies for totally neglecting the blog!!
It's been a busy winter so far, with Kevin's team winning States and getting ready for Chase's 1st Christmas!!
We're so blessed to have such an amazing little boy! Here are some of our favorite pics from his Christmas photo shoot!

We're hoping to see lots of our friends and family over the holidays! Until then, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Every month brings more fun!!

I feel like Chase has had quite an incredible month! First of all, he's been sitting like a champ! It just happened one day and now he loves his new point of view! We had to upgrade to a new carseat and a new bath tub because he's just the biggest boy! And, most exciting ~ last week his first two teeth popped through!!

And if the fun we had getting ready for Halloween is any indication, Christmas should be a blast!!
It all started years ago, when a friend (Jen Standfest Fiscus) put one of her babes in a pumpkin...
Ever since I saw that picture, I knew one day I would have a baby to put in a pumpkin, too! And that day came ~ and we had a ball!!


Loved that face!



Then Halloween came! We bought this costume last year to surprise Kevin's parents with some new "NA Tiger" gear to tell them we were pregnant! To our surprise it fit great and Chase even growled like a big, scary Tiger!!

See what I mean ~ Big and Scary, right??

Laila even got in on the Halloween Spirit!

And just like that, Chase's 1st Halloween had come and gone!

Boys Day

Kevin took Chase to a JV game last weekend! Someone took this picture of them on the sideline and posted it on the football website and I thought it was a great pic!!

Chase later fell asleep on Daddy's shoulder while still on the sideline! Funny, he can sleep through a football game with all that noise, but at home the slightest sound will wake him!

Guaranteed to make you smile!

So "in love" with this kiddo! Especially if he keeps doing this!!
Gone are the days that Chase didn't like his cereal! Can't wait to try all those fruits and veggies! He's starting to sit up a little, too! He lasts a good 10 seconds now before he tips over!

Pumpkin Patch

We had a great day at Soergel's Farm with Dan, Maggie, and Owen! We found some great pumpkins and even scored a few free apples!!

Best Buddies!

Love this one!

This was right after Chase tipped over into the hay!

Chillin with the pumpkins!

Our First Family Pictures

Kevin surprised me for my birthday ~ He made an appointment to have our family pictures taken! I've been wanting to do this since Chase was born, so I was thrilled! Here are a few of our favorites!

Sorry some of them are sideways! I'm still figuring this out and wanted to get them up!

Here we go Steelers!

Chase got a little pregame action with Laila and the football. I guess Daddy and Chase are practicing to be on the next Olympic Luge Team, too!







Then, Chase and Daddy snuggled and slept through the game!

And, we also have a rare photo of Mommy and her two super kiddos!



CHASE

So, lets rewind about 4 months! Chase was born on May 6, 2010 at 10:38 am! He was 8 lbs. 1 oz. and 22 inches long! We were thrilled to finally learn "It's a Boy!"

We've been amazed at how quickly he's growing and we're having a ball with him! Chase is such a happy baby and has the best smile! He's rolling and crawling (with his head) and loves to jump. We just started cereal a few weeks ago and he's loving that, too!

So fast forward 4 months and here is our handsome little monkey, Chase:



Stay tuned, as Chase and our blog continue to grow!!
