Not much going on....

I haven't posted in a while because I haven't had much to post! Jason is busy working with grad school. Chase and I are doing the same old normal thing. We have a lot of trips to MS planned with the holidays so we are looking forward to that. I am almost done with my Christmas shopping and I am so thrilled about it! Now for the wrapping! Chase is going to LOVE this! We are trying to figure out what to get him for Christmas this year since he is still little, but he needs some new toys. For his birthday in April, I hope to get him a swing set or something like that. Here is one cute pic that I want to share. Chase loves putting on anyone's shoes. He tried and tried to get Jason's hunting boots on, so I stood him up in them and snapped a quick picture.

Zoo Boo

This Saturday night, we went to Zoo Boo with our good friends, the Rings and my sister-in-law's family. It is such a great family event! Lots of candy for the kids and lots of fun activities to enjoy. Chase was dressed as a pirate and actually kept the hat on for most of the night! They had a disco, haunted train ride, hayride, singing pumpkins, ice cream (too cold, but you know we all ate it!), and many other things! Check it out at the Memphis Zoo Web Site!

We were all bundled up..way too cold!! Lots of Hot Chocolate made it better!

Fall

I absolutely LOVE fall! It is feeling more and more like fall everyday! I am so glad that it is fall break. Jason and I are going to the Ozark Mountains (Branson) with our dear friends, the Rings. We are so excited to go on a vacation and see the beautiful mountains.

One quick update...Jason has officially started his admin master's program. In 20 months he will graduate with a Master's in Ed. Leadership and can apply for Assistant Principal jobs. This is a huge step for Jason and a lot of work. I am so proud of him for doing this!

Lastly, I recently got a "mommy hazard" injury. Chase was sleeping with me and threw his hand up and hit my eye. I guess I didn't blink fast enough. He scratched my cornea half way through. It was the worse pain I have ever felt, but thankfully due to a lot of prayer, it healed quickly!

Here are a couple fall pictures I have taken so far of Chase.

Taylor Family Update

Not much to update since my last post. We have just been doing the same day to day stuff as always. We are looking forward to fall break and going to Branson! Jason has never been and I have not been since I was like 12. We have a cabin on a lake so it will be so nice to just relax and look at the beautiful surroundings! Chase is climbing on everything and getting very adventurous so that is always interesting! Football and deer hunting fever have taken Jason over these days! I am so tired of sports always being on TV and am ready for all of the new shows to come out for the Fall.

Quick Update

Things have been busy in the Taylor house lately! Back to school being at the top of that list for sure. We have enrolled Chase in a little gymnastics class at Rivercity so that ties up every Thursday night. He LOVES it. The first class did not go so well and I thought he was too little for it, but Jason wanted to keep him in it and it has gotten better every time. He sort of stays "on course" a little bit better, but still runs all over the place. He loves to run up and down the trampoline. There is a little girl that is 2 months older than him who is IN LOVE with him. She follows him around and kisses him, tackles him, etc. He is okay with it for a bit, but then he starts pushing her off. I think it is cute, but it annoys Jason. He just doesn't get that our son is already a "chick magnet"! Ha Ha! I recently got Chase a little 4-wheeler that goes by pushing one button and he doesn't get that he has to hold the button in for it to go. He also tries to ride it backwards, which is hilarious.

Work is busy at the beginning as always. I am so exhausted when I get home. I am ready for it to settle down a bit.

More to come later on....

First Haircut

Chase got his first haircut on July 31st. We only snipped a little, but he needed a lot more! His hair looks like he stuck his finger in a light socket when he wakes up, but it sure is cute! I hope he loves his curly locks as much as I do! I think they are part of his outgoing personality and I hope they always make him stand out!

Not much else has been going on with us. Jason got in "Bob the Builder"

mode and built us some shelves for the garage to store all of his tools and hunting equipment. I was pretty proud of him! He has never built anything really before and did and outstanding job with these shelves and now all is nice and neat in our garage and believe me, it was a disaster before.

We took Chase to his first gymnastics class last week. I didn't get any pictures because I was chasing him and around and praying he would not fall off of anything. Jason videoed the whole thing. This week when we go, I will get some pictures. It is at River City, which is a has the word "prayerful" in their motto, so I really like that. Chase just runs around, not with the group, and tries to be bigger than he is, but I think the more he goes, the more structured we can be with it.

Today is our first day back at school with students! I hope all of my teacher family and friends are doing well today. I know I have already have one computer crash and one other major fiasco and I have only been here 2 hours. There was a bunch more between those 2 major things, but at least I don't have a classroom of kids!
