Valentine's Day Walker


My Sweet Valentine's


Such a Big Boy


One of many steps of Chase Proofing our house

Valentines Day this year is one to remember. Chase officially started walking at 11 1/2 months. It's the cutest thing ever. He walks with his arm straight out and takes little fast steps. He is really moving. This has opened a whole new chapter of being a Mom for me. He wants to be walking and moving consistanly. We have had to ChildProof our house. He is very interested in the cats food and little box. We had to move everything into the laundry room and put up a gate. Nick made a hole in the gate for the cats but we couldn't make it too big or Chase would figure a way to make it through the opening. He is very curious about everything. It's just amazing how fast he is growing up. Nick surprised me with a babysitter for Chase. We went out for a couple of hours to Dos Gringos. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and spending some alone time together. Thanks Lisa for watching Chase!!!! I'm very lucky to have 2 very special Valentine's. Love you both very much XOXOXOXOX

Fun week with the Millers

We had such a great time with the Millers. We first meet them in Parker AZ for a desert race that Dustin was racing in. It was amazing to see all the cars and fancy rigs. The noise and all the cars were a little bit overwhelming for Chase so we spent a good part of Saturday in the Motorhome, but we had a front row spot so we could see the action from inside. The Shupes also joined us. It was great to see Ang, Buddy and the twins. So adorable!! When all the fun was over, we packed up and headed back to Mesa. The Millers followed. So Fun!!! We had a fun filled week. We went to the Phoenix Zoo, Children's Museum,playing at the park, Dinner at Salty Senorita, and dinners at each others houses (well one Motorhome). Chase had so much fun playing with Ian and Dane. Wish we lived closer so we could do more of this stuff. We love you guys! Thanks for the awesome week :)

Loving this Parent Stuff



This last month has been so much fun and full of changes. I thought I would put together some pictures of Chase from the past month before he turns 11 months. He is just growing up so fast and loving life. He went from having 3 teeth to 7 in about 3 weeks. He loves to open his mouth and scrunch his face and show off his pearly whites. He hilarious! Just 4 days ago he figured out how to sit up from laying down. Due to this change every time I go in to get him out of his crib he is sitting up of standing up ready to take on the world (even in the middle of the night). This has also helped his figure out the whole crawling this a lot more. He is cruising and walking along everything. It's hard to get him to sit down. He is so busy all day long. His newest thing is a happy very loud scream. When you sit or walk by him he screams and smiles. It's very loud and cute! He is turning into a major Momma's boy. He isn't as crazy about other people holding him right now. He loves to flirt and socialize from Mom's arms. He loves Girls. Every time we go out he finds a new girl to flirt with. This past week my Mom was able to come down and spend a week with us. It was so much fun to have Nana around. Chase absolutely loves her and loves to give her loves. We're so lucky that she wants and is able to spend this special time with us. It's really hard sometimes being in AZ and not having family and friends around to see Chase grow and change. With her being able to spend a week with us and in Chase's comfortable place, he really opens up and eats her up. Thanks Mom for making the trip and spending the time with us. We miss you already! Chase keeps looking around all the corners and rooms for his Nana.
