HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHASE!!!


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!

Mama Zo brought Chase a birthday balloon. This picture was taken just after the balloon escaped.

Peg-P and Gran came by to tell Chase Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday (He is still singing the song to himself in the car almost 2 weeks later)

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 spent most of his birthday party in the sandbox
 


 

He did get out of the sandbox for birthday cake
 



Daddy had a hard time getting the candles lit...
 

...while Chase's friends wait patiently

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








Katie made all of his friends cowboy hat shirts as party favors

After the party, family had lunch...





...and Chase opened presents

Chase and George started wrestling for a ball. Alex intervened trying to settle the dispute by asking, "who had it first?"
