Loves the Water

Over the last week we have really noticed how much Chase loves the water. Yesterday we went over to out neighbors house for a little swim. He was in the pool for a while with his Dad. He was great the whole time. He was splashing and having a grand time. He is still in love with his bath. Nana came to visit last week while Nick was traveling for work. We had a great time with her. Chase is in love with his Nana. Thanks for the coming down to visit and help out. We're very lucky to have you! xoxoxo

New Addition

We got a Motor Home!!! We're really excited. We thought it would be a fun thing to do as a family. Chase is going to be the perfect age in a little bit for camping, boating and hanging out with friends and family. It will also be nice during the middle of the summer to head up North to get out of the heat. We really enjoy the Heber/Overguard area. It's beautiful!! It's about 2 hours from our house. We're going to take the Motor Home on it's first trip the second week in October to Lake Mead. We will keep you posted :)

Happy 6 month old

Loves his carrots. So messy but loving it!!








Chase just turned 6 months old. He is growing up so fast. We're so lucky to have such a healthy and happy baby. We went to the pediatrician for him 6 month check up. He is 18 pounds 5 ounces and 26 1/2 inches long. He is very healthy and right on track with his weight and height. He is starting to sleep better :) Awesome for mom!!! We gave him carrots yesterday for the first time and he loved them...He was a real mess but very happy. He is very close to sitting up on his own. He steamrolls through the house to get around. It's adorable!!

So Much Fun

Sorry for the delay. We just got back from Salt Lake and I haven't had a lot of time. We had a great time visiting Salt Lake. We spent most of the time with family. The first part of the trip we stayed with the Ellerbeck's. We had a great time. We went out to the Sand Dunes for a day. Nick was able to ride with his Dad and sister. They had a great time. He was able to Ski the course at Utah Lake only once due to the weather, but it was fun for him. The second part of the trip we mainly spent up at my parents cabin at Bear Lake. It was very relaxing and a great time. The guys played some golf and we went out on the boat for some wake boarding.
We had the lake to ourselves, it was awesome. We went to the Miller's for an awesome dinner. It was great to see those guys and also the Shupe's with their twins. Beautiful baby boys! We got to see the VanOtten's and their baby bump. Their excepting a baby that is due on Chase's Birthday, March 4th. We love those guys!!!
We didn't get to see everyone. We had a very full schedule. We promise next trip that we will have time to see you guys. Sorry :( Thank you so much to Nick's parents and mine for a wonderful visit. We appreciate everything that you guys did for us. We're very lucky!!

Sorry So Slow

Within the next couple of days I will update the blog. I haven't had a chance to download our new pictures yet. It's amazing how fast the weeks go. We just got back from Vacation last Sunday. Sorry for the delay. All is going well in AZ. The weather is starting to cool down and we're so excited.
Loves,
Nick, Steph and Chase

Picture Update

It's been a while since we have put new pictures on the blog. Everything in AZ is going great. Chase is 5 months old and trying to sit up. We think within the next couple of weeks he will have it. He spends a lot of time rolling on the ground from toy to toy. It took him a couple of months to like his stomach, but he is liking it now! Nick is keeping very busy with work and doing GREAT at it. He is spending most of his time working on the new 787 airplane. COOL JOB!! It's been 4 weeks since my surgery and I'm starting to feel better. I'm still very sore from trying to heal, but it's getting better daily. I'm going to be starting Physical Therapy in the next couple of weeks. From this surgery and my C-Section I really need to work on building my core muscles. We're going to be leaving for SLC on August
30th for a week. We're looking forward to seeing family, friends, and a break from the heat. We've been lucky this year because it's been a much more mild summer. We have only had a couple days above 110, so that is a great change from last summer. Love you all!!!! XOXOXOXOXO

Life after Surgery

It has been just over 2 weeks since I had my surgery. I'm starting to feel a lot better. The first 10 days were very uncomfortable and painful. Everything went very well and the doctors told me I should feel like a new person by 6 weeks. Great News! We're so lucky to have help from our Mom's. My mom came and stayed for 2 weeks and Nick's mom came in for a long weekend. I'm not able to pick up Chase for 3 weeks. It's killing me!!!! Thanks to everyone for all the calls, cards, flowers and much needed help. We're very lucky to have such great friends and family. We're going to be making a trip to SLC the first week of September. Would love to see you all XOXOXOX. I have attached a recent picture of Chase. He just turned 5 months and he is so much fun. He has starting rolling over and being a very busy body. He keeps us busy all the time!
