Chase is almost 2...Finally an update

I thought I better get myself into gear and update our blog. Life in the past month has been kind of crazy. Poor little Chase caught a horrible stomach virus that ended him up in 2 different hospitals and a totally of 3 nights. He was so sick! He was sick for over 9 straight days and it took a totally of 14 days to get back to somewhat normal. The virus actually shut down his digestive track and intestines. He wasn't able to keep any food or fluid down. He was put on nothing but IV fluid for 40 hours. It was so hard to watch him suffer so much. Honestly, I haven't ever been so emotionally drained in my whole life. Both Nick and I also caught the virus but it only lasted about 24 hrs for us. It was so great that Nick was so strong because I really needed that. The good thing is that it's over and he is doing great. He is changing everyday. He is so much fun and so adorable. He is the worlds biggest flirt. He is starting to talk more. He still isn't saying a ton but he has about 12 words that he is saying really well. He communicates so much with his body language and eyes. We're just so lucky to have been blessed with such an amazing little guy. He will brighten up any ones day and make you smile. It's really hard to be firm with him on certain things because he makes me laugh. He loves the park and running around outside in the beautiful AZ weather. I could honestly go on and on for hours about him and his daily life. Here are some recent pictures. Love you all

So behind

I know...I know.... I'm so behind on my updates and life!!! I will update very soon. Everything is great in AZ. Love you all

Thanksgiving in AZ

Nick's family this year came down to enjoy Thanksgiving with us. We had a great time. We ate outside on the patio in the 80 degree weather. It was perfect. Chase so loves having people in his house to play with. Thanks for Everything Scott, Ape, and Debby. Love you guys

Happy 29th Nick

Happy birthday Nick! We love you so much. Thanks for all you do and for being such an amazing dad and husband. Enjoy your last year in your 20's. His B-day was on the 18th of November just a little bit late with this post.

Getting closer to 2

I just had to share this picture of Chase. He has sooo much expression all the time. He comes up with all the different looks. As he approaches 2 he is surprising me each day. He is such a flirt! This is one of his favorite looks! He is trying to draw you in. So funny!

Loving Nana and Papa

My Parents just came to visit last week. It was so nice to have them around. Chase is just so in love with his Nana and Papa. When there around it's hard to not see him smiling the whole time. Nick was able to take some time away from work and enjoy golfing with my Dad. We had a blast! We went to the mall and had some pictures taken of Chase (those will follow later) he was so cute. He also picked out a stuffed animal Tiger that Papa got him. He sleeps with it every night. It also has to go in the car with him everywhere. Thanks Mom and Dad for coming and spending time with us. We love you both very much. Thanks for bringing so much joy to Chase baby!

Winnie the Pooh Pumpkin

Chase had a blast on Halloween. It was perfect weather! Once the sun went down it was in the mid 70's. Perfect for trick er treating :) He was all over the place. He went to the neighbors house about 6 times and kept taking their Halloween decorations off their porch. He is getting closer 2 the terrible 2's everyday :)We love watching him grow up and experience new things everyday.
