Wow, a new post!

So I figured it was about time I post some photos, so here are some pictures of our Las Vegas trip. The boys were great during the drive...thanks Toy Story and nap-time!

Oh wait, check out this picture of poor Braxton! His face is all healed now, but looking at this makes me sad. He fell outside on the concrete patio and got all scraped up. That's what happens when Mom is gone and Dad is left in charge...



Chase and Braxton playing in the hotel room.


Chase and Brax LOVED the swimming pool so we spent alot of time there.


Brax being a dare devil.


Chase made some friends at the pool and they played for a couple of days together. Chase said he wants to take swimming lessons in the Summer so he can swim like them.






Me and my boys at the hotel


We didn't hang out on the strip much, we liked this Town Square shopping area because it had so many fun things for the kids to do, and some of my favorite places to shop...H&M and Sephora



The boys had so much fun putting on shows for us at this little stage in the play area.


ummm, I love this photo! We were applauding for him and he loved it!


Brax loves the water. Why is he wearing a shirt you may ask...It was SO burning hot and Brax is my little pale baby!





Lost in the maze


Brax wanting more chocolate gelato






We went to a brazilian steakhouse and Brian was so proud of his carniverous son feasting on filet mignon.


Couldn't leave without going to Circus Circus to see a circus show and play on some rides.

Waiting for the trapeze show to start.


Brax is too cute!


Nope, they didn't win...








Chase and Spongebob!


Chase liked the scary pirate and still wants to be a pirate for Halloween.

Let's catch up!

I haven't posted for awhile, but here are some recent and not-so-recent pics to check out...

Braxton took his first trip on an airplane last month when the two of us went to my Uncle's funeral in California. He slept the whole time BOTH ways, so I lucked out. Braxton had a milestone in California and took his first 4 or 5 steps...I posted a video down below of Brax walking and now-a-days he is walking just about everywhere.





Here are some Easter pics of the boys:







We went to the Living Planet Aquarium, I think that is what it is called, and it was pretty fun but could have been better. It was raining that day so it was REALLY crowded.






A Spider!!!






Me and Braxton took a self portrait while we were waiting for Chase to finish his melt-down...he didn't like waiting his turn in all of the lines!

Chase is Three!

Chase has been waiting anxiously for his birthday ever since I told him it was coming up back in January. I didn't realize that he was going to ask EVERY day if it was his birthday yet!! We took Chase bowling since his party wasn't until the weekend and he had tons of fun. We almost made it out of there without any incident, but on the last bowl, Chase ran up into the lane and slipped right onto his butt. It was a sad way to end the night, so good thing they had ski-ball to save the day!





I decided to make Chase a special cake this year for his birthday, and I think it turned out real well!


Grandpa's birthday was on the same day as Chase's party so he was the honorable mention.


Chase was walking around the house eating cake and when Brian asked him where he got it, he said that he was eating his birthday cake. We found this hole in the side! Braxton enjoyed tasting it too though...






Chase wanted Thomas train tracks and trains for this birthday, so he spends lots of his day here at my bedroom window playing. Our window is one of Chase's favorite places to play. We'll move toys back to his room and then he yells 'hey! where's my stuff!' and then sets everything right back up. We love it though.

Braxton is Mobile

Braxton has been eager to crawl ever since he started doing the 'wounded soldier' move several weeks ago. Last week, he got up on his hands and hasn't looked back. I can't keep this boy in one place for very long and he just keeps getting faster! He is just growing up so quick. Here is a video of his first crawl.



Playing in the Snow

Chase had been waiting for a big snow storm ever since we bought him boots, and he finally got his wish and was able to put on his snow suit and play in the snow.

Picture Tag

I got this off of a friend's blog. The instructions on this tag is to find your sixth picture folder and post your sixth picture with a description of what is happening in the picture.



This was the day of Chase's surgery at Primary Children's Hospital. He looks so cute in his hospital clothes and socks! It wasn't a serious procedure or anything, but I was so sad when they took him from me and walked away with him down the hallway. He was 15 months old there and now he is almost 3! It makes me sad that he is growing up so fast!

I tag all my family and friends to do this too.

Chase's new and exciting outing is to the library. We took him and picked out some Clifford books and Curious George books which are two of his favorite shows. Chase helped make his library book bag and showed it off in this photo along with his new Lightning McQueen pajamas.

NKOTB!

So my sisters, sister-in-law and I had the most awesome girls night out and went to the New Kids on the Block concert on Saturday! We even made shirts and wore fedora hats to show our love. It was SO much fun screaming all night for our favorite New Kid and singing along. Thanks to my sister Becca, she had already watched the concert from other cities on YouTube and knew about a certain part of the concert where New Kids perform 3 songs from a smaller stage in the middle of the floor. When we showed up, our seats were right in front of a small stage that was covered over, so we were way excited! When we saw security gathering, we ran over to the stage and beat the rush and got right in the front so when they got on stage we were able to grab their hands and scream like little girls! Woohoo Jordan and Donny!! And YES, I got to grab my favorite new kid Jordan's hand!!


Look how cute Chase looks in that hat!






Finally a Halloween Post


Here is Chase thinking that the pumpkin seeds are gross. I thought Chase would really like feeling all the gooey stuff inside of the pumpkin, but instead he just wanted me to do it.


Chase would hardly sit for this picture, he just wanted to blow out all the candles!


Braxton was a tiger...


Chase was Frankenstein...Brian even taught him how to walk like Frankenstein and it was so funny!


We all went over to the park by our house for a neighborhood Trick or Treat party and then went over to our old neighborhood so Chase and his cousins could go door to door.
