"My Sorrys"

I wanted to remember Chase saying this one sweet thing....when he does something accidentally and says he is sorry, and I tell him it's ok but try to remember to not do it again, he says, "but mom... I said my sorrys!". The fact he calls it my sorrys cracks me up! There are many other things he says but right now I love that one!

Chase as Woody

Chase is on a major pretending kick here lately. He plays Woody and Jessie, pretends to be a doctor and a puppy or cat. His imagination amazes me!

Chase as Woody!

Valentine's Day 2012

Happy Valentine's Day!  I didn't get a picture of Chase this morning, as we are always in a rush to get out the door so I am not late to work, but he had on his "Loads of Love" dump truck shirt.  I have been on a major Pinterest kick lately.  I made the Neopolitan cupcakes...brownie on bottom, strawberry cake and then white icing for Chase to take to Mama Jane's today.  Since I am TRYING to shed a few pounds, I put the extras in cute valentine cupcake boxes for the kids to take home with their Valentine cards.  Chase didn't really care about making the Valentine's.  He put stickers on some, but wanted them all for him and didn't get that they were for his friends.  Maybe next year... he will get that part of it.    I know he is going to have a ball today at Mama Jane's with his friends and eat lots of good sweets!  I can't wait to see the pictures that Mama Jane takes of them.  I'll post them when I get them.  Jason has baseball so we really aren't doing anything special tonight, but will go out to dinner maybe this weekend.    Our anniversary and Valentine's fall during the beginning of baseball so we just don't have time to do a lot.  Jason did get me a great box of candy that I can not wait to get in to when I get home!  

Chase's Valentine Cupcakes for the big kids at Mama Jane's.  I feel bad leaving out the babies, 

but I know they can't eat it. I adore them all too!

Chase got a huge dog from Mommaw.  Its like a pillow for him! 

I got him this balloon.  He LOVES balloons.

Here he decided that the balloon was a kite.  His imagination amazes me! 

Children's Museum

I have been a bad blogger lately!  Nothing has been going on worth blogging about.  After Christmas, we just settled back in to our normal work routine.   Baseball practice has started for Jason a few days a week and on Saturday's and try-outs are soon so after that it will be 6 days a week for practice and then games so my life will be hectic again.

My mom came to visit last weekend when Jason was at a coaches conference in Nashville.  Even though Chase was a little under the weather with a cold, we decided to go ahead to the Children's Museum.  My mom and grandmother had never been so I knew they would enjoy watching Chase play.  Chase has been before, but this time was different.  He REALLY loved it all, especially the fishing.  He played at every exhibit, but came back to the fishing at the end again and he even cried when we had to go home.  I promised him a trip back soon!    We spent the rest of the weekend at home doing nothing since Chase had a cold and I was starting to get one.  I have been fighting it off all week.   Here are some pics from the museum!

Christmas Break 2011

We had such a great holiday!  Chase had a ball!  We made cookies, went ice skating at the zoo, went bowling, spent Christmas Eve at J's sister's and then the next week at my mom's in MS.   Pictures will tell the story the best!  Some are out of order, but oh well!  We are now back to work after a great break and baseball will be starting up soon! Happy New Year!

We had the most blessed and best Christmas break I can remember in a long time!  We hope 2012 is another great year with our little Chaserman! 

Christmas Card and Plans

This year's card......

We are in our last week of school before the break and I can not wait to be home with Chase for 2 weeks!  I love him at 3..he is the most fun!   We have some fun plans for the break.  We are going to MS this weekend and next.  This weekend is to see Disney on Ice.  My mom got him tickets to the Tupelo show and I know he will love it.   When we get back, I have plans to hang out with the girls from Life Group at the mall playground and to go Ice Skating at the Zoo.  I am really pumped about the ice skating.  I just hope no one breaks anything.  Chase, Sara Beth, and I are going with Holley and Anna Garris Ring.   I am sure Chase is too young for it, but it is only for an hour so I can entertain him that long if he hates the skates.  I remember as a child coming shopping in Memphis from Tupelo and going to the Mall of Memphis to go ice skating.  I looked forward to it.  I stink at it, but it is a great memory that I have.   I think Chase will be all about it after seeing Disney on Ice.  I can't wait for that show!  Jason can't wait for hunting everyday all day.  I am ready for the break...Come on Friday! 

Opryland Hotel and Snow

Chase and I went to the Opryland Hotel with my mom and grandmother this past weekend.  It was beautiful!  We had an atrium room and it was like being outside on the inside.  We did a lot of cool stuff!  We went to ICE! which as Merry Madagascar ice sculptures and 25 ft ice slides...yes, I went down them, but screamed the whole way down!  Chase loved it. It was 18 degrees, but worth it.  They also had the Dreamworks characters performing during the day in the hotel which was neat.  It was a nice show and even nicer since it was free.  We also did the carriage ride around the hotel and rode the boats in the hotel and Chase got to swim.  It was a great time with my mom and grandmother and absolutely beautiful views.

 Tree in the Atrium...HUGE and gorgeous

Big blue "parka" they made you wear for ICE!  Chase's was way too big and we couldn't find his arms and he couldn't stand up in it. 

View from our room

Silly boy!  Loved the stairs! 

Family Pic...Poinsetta tree

Chase sliding down the ice slide.  

Chase enjoyed dancing to the lady singing piano in the lobby.  He is a nut! 

 Not sure where he got these moves! 

This was is of him going down the ice slide.  He couldn't get up at the end, but when he did, he would run to do it again. 

We woke up to snow this morning, Dec. 7th!  It is the earliest I remember snow!  We had to go to work so boo to that!  Here is Chase loving the snow before Mama Jane's! 

We look forward to one more week of school then Christmas break!  I can't wait for Christmas this year! I am going to teach Chase and my 2 year old class on Wednesday all about the Nativity using M & M's.  I'll let you know how it goes.
