We had the pleasure of celebrating Chase's 2nd birthday last week. He is a very good boy and makes us laugh every day. It's neat to watch how much and how quickly he is learning new things daily. He definitely has a joy for life, and he always finds the fun in any activity he does.

Chase got to take cupcakes to his friends at school on his birthday. Mama, Daddy and Hank were all able to make it. Mama Zo also came. Everyone had a lot of fun, but Chase was the only one to use the 2-handed approach to eating his cupcake!

We had Chase's birthday party on Saturday morning following his birthday. It was a cowboy birthday party. We had horse shoes, horses in the sandbox and cowboy vests that Chase's friends could decorate. Thanks to all the friends and family who came. We had a great time!

Chase had no problem blowing out the candles
and he knew what to do afterward...he actually stuck one candle back in the cake for a second lick
