Baby Dedication Sunday

Not much has been going on lately except for enjoying the wonderful weather!  My mom and grandmother have gotten to come 2 weekends in a row for events for Chase.   Yesterday, our church had their baby dedication ceremony.  It was so nice with a reception, slide show, commitment, and prayer with the church.  Jason's sister's family attended church with us along with my mom and grandmother and Jason's mom.  It was nice to all be in one church since we all go to different ones.  Chase did great while we were up front doing the commitment.  Before we had to go up front, he was a little loud with his favorite Indian "War Whoop" as my mother-in-law calls it.  The most special thing was that he wore an outfit that my nephew, Brock, wore when he was Chase's age and Brock is almost 13!   

Jason's Varsity team has won the district championship so they are one step closer to going to State. He coaches the catchers on that team.   The next few weeks will be filled with games that really count towards getting to go to State. The have been the past 3 years so we would love to get to go again!   The big tournament for the JV team that Jason is the head coach of starts on Thursday.  

We have 22 days of school left before Summer break!  I can't wait!  I am already thinking of fun things to do with Chase this summer!

He loved to rock and tries to rock in his high chair! 

1st Birthday

Chase has had a great birthday week so far.  He got to have a party at Momma Jane's on Wednesday, the cake again Wednesday night, then will again on Sunday!  Here are some cute pictures that my friend Jennifer took...more to come later on after Sunday! 

 

Easter Weekend

We all had a wonderful Easter Weekend.  Chase and I went to my mom's Friday and Saturday.  We enjoyed getting to see everyone there.  We barely missed a huge hail storm and having to go to the storm house.  My grandmother lived through a horrible Tupelo tornado back years and years ago and she is very determined that when a storm comes, EVERYONE goes to the storm house until it passes.  It is no fun and I am glad Chase and I missed it.  I think he would have been scared in there!  

Saturday, we went to an Easter Bunny breakfast at my friend's 

parent's resturant. It was a fundraiser for the city park's new playground, which we enjoyed a little bit later on.  It was so cold that we didn't

 stay at the Saltillo Egg Hunt too long. Chase didn't need to be out with his recent sinus infection.   It did warm up later in the afternoon and Chase enjoyed playing in his new swing my mom got him for Easter like he has at Momma Jane's house.  Chase also really enjoyed getting to eat some yellow "peeps". 

Sunday, we enjoyed a beautiful church service, napping, and eating dinner at Jason's sister's house....his mom got Corky's ribs and they were DIVINE!    I hope everyone has a Blessed Easter and took time to remember what we were all celebrating...The Risen Savior.  

Easter Egg Hunt

After a Saturday morning visit to the doctor for a sinus infection, we took Chase to his first Easter Egg Hunt hosted by our church Saturday night.   My neice, Sara Beth, went with us.  She could hardly stand the waiting for the hunt to start at 6:00.  They had over 2000 eggs hidden.  They also had areas divided off for each age group.  Chase basically just crawled around and we would sit him by an egg, he would pick it up, look at it and then put it back on the ground.  It was really cute!  After the egg hunt, we got to roast hotdogs and marshmallows on a huge fire.  It was a great night of food, fun, and fellowship.   We have another egg hunt at my mom's this weekend.  He will really have the hang of it by next year!  Here are a few pictures.....

Easter Bunny and Laundry Basket

We took Chase to see the Easter Bunny and he LOVED him.  He petted him like he was one of our cats.  It was hilarious.  I also got to buy his little white walking shoes...who knew those little shoes cost so much!  The poor bunny was absolutely burning up.  We will take Chase to his first egg hunt Saturday night with our church.  We are having an egg hunt and bonfire to do hotdogs and marshmallows.  We bought Chase a wagon to pull him around in.   Can't wait to see what pictures I get from that! 

Last night, Chase learned how to crawl in the laundry basket.  We were using it as a baracade from the kitchen and the catfood and I accidentally set his bottle in the basket instead of on the floor by the recliner.  He saw the bottle in the basket and climbed in to get it.  It was too funny!
