Valentines Weekend

For Valentines Justin, Chase, Chris, Lisa, Tayler, Caden, and I joined Mike and Dori at the cabin. We had so much fun. Much needed relaxing. The boys went ice fishing on Saturday while us girls (plus Chase and Caden) played in the snow. I love going up to the cabin it is so nice to just sit and do nothing. Chase and Katie love it too:) I can't believe how big Chase is getting.

Chase with his grandparents

Chase loves his grandparents. He is such a cuddle bug! It won't be long until he is crawling and taking over the world!

Poor fishes!

Caden decided that he was going to feed the fish for us. But he fed them a little to much. We had to take all the fish out of the tank and put them in bowls so we could get all the food out. I still don't understand why fish eat until they die. That was the case with 4 of them. Poor fishes. At least they died fat and happy! Plus we all learned a lesson about fish.

Caden got to bored in time out and passed out.

Super Bowl Party

Justin and I had friends over to watch the super bowl with us. It was a blast to hang out, watch the game, and bbq together. It was great to see everyone.I really thought that the cardinals were going to pull through. Well they almost did. Can't wait til next year. Maybe the cardinals will be back in the super bowl.

Poor Lisa
Lance made everyone do shots after each quarter.

So intense.

Calm down Justin! jk

Chase hanging out with Katie

Chase and Katie hanging out on the couch watching daddy build the new entertainment center. I absolutely love the new entertainment center. It fits perfect in the living room.

Poor Katie

Katie has been able to run wild since she was a puppy. But now Justin and I are trying to train her and it is really hard. So thanks to Mike and Dori we were able to buy her a really nice obedience collar. It just vibrates a little when we tell her no and she doesn't listen. She seems to respond well to it. So hopefully we can get her trained to listen so she doesn't get into trouble all the time.

Go Cardinals

Today we went over to my parents house to watch the Cardinals game. Yea for the Cardinals being in the super bowl. To bad that it is not here. Chase made sure to wear his cardinals gear to support the team. He is getting so big!

New Years Weekend

We decided that for New Years weekend that we would spend it @ the cabin with Mike and Dori. We had so much fun relaxing and hanging out. Chase really loves his grandparents. Justin and I really appreciate everything that they do for us. It was really hard to leave the nice cold weather. Plus it snowed while we were there so it was nice. We ended up leaving Sunday morning since there was already a lot of snow on the ground and it was still snowing. I don't think that Justin and I would have minded being stuck up there but we had a lot to do when we got home. Here are just a few of the pictures that I took.

One of Chase's play dates:

Chase and I went over to Laura's house for a play date for the boys. More like a date to hang out for us moms:) It was nice to get to hang with Laura that day. It was much needed. The boys had so much fun together! I love the 2nd photo were it looks like Carter is going to take Chase's ear off. Chase thought it was funny.

Zoo Lights

Justin, Chase, and I joined Toph, Lisa, my mom, Tayler, Caden, my cousin Lara, her husband George, and their son Jack for zoo lights. It was alot of fun to see all the different lights. The kids really enjoyed themselves. Chase slept most of the time. It was very cold so as you can see everyone was bundled up. It will be nicer next year with Chase since he will be 1. Crazy!

Christmas Continued.....

After Chris and Lisa's we went over to Justin's grandma and grandpa Luchts house to open presents and to have lunch with the Lucht side of the family. I didn't get to take any pictures there since it was raining and my camera was in the car. After we left Gary and Wanda's we went over to Grandma Betty's house to hang out before we went to my parents. Here are a few pictures I took while we were there. Christmas was a long day but it was nice to be able to spend it with family.J and Chase with their irish santa hats.

Christmas morning

Christmas morning Justin, Chase, and I went over to Toph and Lisa's and has breakfast with the kids and my parents. It was nice to see the kids get to play with their new toys they got from Santa. Plus I love my dad's pancakes! Tayler was very excited to get her riding pony and Caden got his power wheels car.

Christmas Eve

This year for Christmas eve we celebrated at Mike and Dori's with Kristine, Grandma Betty, Justin, Chase, and I. It was very nice. I enjoyed just being able to hang over there in the warm rather then waiting @ a restraunt. We got to open our presents from Justin's parents and Kristine that night also. We got a ton of really nice things. Chase has more clothes and new toys to play with when he gets a little bit bigger.

Chase's first professional photo shoot!

Chase was a really good sport getting his photos taken. He is such a pretty baby that it was really hard to pick which pictures of him I liked best so I ended up ordering a ton of pictures. But I love them so it's ok. Justin and I are taking Chase to Pinetop this weekend to hang with Justin's family @ their cabin. We are both really excited to see the snow. I am going to try to get a couple of photos of Justin and I with Chase so check back to see if I actually got them. Justin isn't exactly into pictures. Hopefully Chase won't mind getting them done when he is a little older.
