Camping at 7700 feet

We spent Memorial Day Weekend up in Northern AZ. We meet some of our friends there and got out of the heat. Chase had so much fun running around in the mountains and pine trees. Nick has been working so much so it was awesome to spend 3 full days together as a family. It's only 2 hours and 15 mins from our house. We're going to go back soon.

Mothers Day

Love this Baby!!!!!

Love my Boys!!!

I had such a nice Mothers Day. Nick made me an awesome breakfast and dinner and spoiled me all day. He has been working so much, so it was just nice to spend the day with my boys. We spent the afternoon at Victor and Ellen's house (our neighbors)We enjoyed Bloody Mary's and kicking back at the pool. I just feel so blessed to be the mother to such an amazing little boy. Chase baby I love you so much xoxoxoxox. I'm also very lucky to have such a wonderful Mom. She is an amazing best friend, grandma, mom, and person. Thanks Mom for all that you do. Love you

Lone Rock, Lake Powell

At the last minute we decided to join the Ellerbeck's, Casper's, and Atkin's for a weekend camping trip at Lone Rock. It was great to see everyone and catch up. We went for a great boat ride to explore Lake Powell. It's our favorite place ever. It was weird being there without the Miller's. We missed them a lot. Hopefully next they can join us. It was Scott's birthday on Saturday so we helped him celebrate with a lot of Tequila :) Chase also helped him open presents, one of his favorite things to do. Thanks for the trip it was fun!!!!

Easter Basket from Nana

Loving opening his Easter Box


Yummy Confetti


So Good!


Made a mess all day with this box. He loves his new Easter Bunny. When you turn it on, Chase dances with it. It's so cute!

Chase got a very special surprise in the mail from Nana Jager. He got an Easter Basket with ALOT of confetti paper included. He just had so much fun ripping the box open and trying to eat the confetti paper. He loved the confetti the most at first. As the day went on he started to play with all the toys and bunny that were inside. My mom has always made Easter very special. It's a traditional that I want to continue with Chase and my own family. Thanks for the special Easter Basket Nana! We love and Miss you :)

Easter with the Ellerbeck's

The Ellerbeck's came into town for the Easter weekend and April's Birthday. We had a great time. We spent April's B-day on Saturday at our favorite hang out spot, The Monastery. It's an outside Bar and Grill. We enjoyed the weather, burgers, beers, volleyball, family, and friends. We invited a bunch of our friends to help April celebrate. It was a lot of fun. Chase had a great time. He is such a flirt with all the ladies. He just walked around and flirted for 3 hours until he was tired and ready to go home. On Easter we eat a later breakfast and went for a walk. Later in the day we went up to Canyon Lake and enjoyed the beautiful day. Nick was the only one that was brave enough to get in the cold water. I would have joined him except I can't wake board for about 3 more months because of my back surgery. Chase developed a crush on his Grandpa Scott. He just loved playing with him and happy screaming at him. It was really cute to see them bond together. Thanks for making the trip. We had a good time :) Love you guys

Sleepy Chase Baby

Last weekend we took a short trip to Dumont Sand Dunes. It's on the Border or Death Valley just outside of Baker Ca. We meet the Ellerbeck's. One the way there we had some crazy strong wing. Gusts over 40 mph and to add to that our awning on the Motor home decided to half way open while we were driving. For about 45 mins both Nick and I were on the roof trying to fix it and holding on for dear life. Finally a nice couple stopped and helped us put the awning back together. Then we were on the way. 2out of the 4 days we had great weather. It was fun to see everybody. Nick loves riding with his family and spraying them with sand. Chase loved the quads and all the buggies. Dumont has the most amazing buggies. There everywhere you look! It's so fun to watch them drive around. The drive ended up being about 7 1/2 hours with stops. Chase did very well for a very active 1 year old. He doesn't like to sit for long so the car seat has been a bit of a challenge. But he did great! Thanks for the great weekend Ellerbeck's :)

We're Still Alive

I will update our blog in the next couple of days. Life has been pretty busy lately. All is well! Love you all :)
