November Photo Update

"Please mom, not again."
Here are the antlers this year:

Here's last year:OK maybe I'll smile once...but only because I'm taking it off.
Chase and Lucy have started playing together a lot lately. It's really cute.
Chase and daddy hiding from mommy. I found you!Chase making a mess with Lucy's treats. All those crumbs at the bottom of the box??? Oh yeah, they are on the floor too. (Notice how he's putting all the green ones back. He's so organized. haha.)
Our Sunday school class was in charge of Children's Bible Hour this month. Here is Preston and a bunch of his friends singing "Father Abraham".
Our heater went out while we were gone for Thanksgiving. Poor Lucy had to stay home in the cold so I put a sweater on her. She was so pouty and mad at me all day. (Editors note: before you think that I'm one of those pet owners that buys their dog a lot of clothes please know that Amanda got it for her dog but it was too small so she gave it to us....and she IS one of those pet owners. ;)
Here is Chase and a few of his friends. mmmm cookies!
Preston playing Rock Band (fyi it's a video game) with some friends. It is a way to put on a concert without having any real talent. haha. OK, some people are better than others...the game gives you a score for the instrument you played. I think Preston did OK. I gave it a try on the guitar and drums and I think I managed an all time low score for both. I ROCK!

Thanksgiving

We had a good time with my family for Thanksgiving. We ate a lot, had Christmas with cousins, shopped, and ate some more. It was a good time. Here's our family:

Chase loves the four wheeler (four weer as he says it) and it was pretty cold out. Here he is with grandaddy, using socks as mittens.

Go DIEGO Go!

Last night Chase, Preston, and I all went to see Go Diego Go Live. Chase loved it. He seemed really serious while we were there and was totally mesmerized. But then when the break came in the middle he was really upset that it went off. He kept wanting us to "turn it back on" like the TV. haha. There was a lot of crowd interaction and he was totally into it. He would point everything out...answer questions...growl when he was suppose to growl....etc. When it was all over he actually cried when we left the building and said "Go Again, Go Again". haha. And he was still talking about it and playing with his Baby Jaguar mask this morning!

A Few Randoms to go with the pics

Here are a few things about Chase:

- He gets Noah and Santa confused. (As in Noah from Noah's Ark and Kris Kringle)
- I love the way he says Wal-Mart: Wormit
- We went to a HS football game with my parent's last week and at half time he and my dad got on the field to cheer the team back on and Chase got mad b/c dad wouldn't let him down. Chase kept saying "I wanna play...I wanna play" haha
- He has reached the "terrible twos". He will throw a tantrum at the drop of a hat. It really tests our patience. The other night Preston and I were sitting around having put him to bed after a particularly annoying tantrum and I said, "Preston, what happened to our little boy?" Preston just sat quiet for a minute and then said, "I don't know but I think he may need an exorcism." Too true.

Preston and some work friends went backpacking while Chase and I were at my parent's house. He's the one with the white pants on...haha. One of his friends took their dog, and I asked him if he wanted to take Lucy. He declined. (See a pic of Lucy below.)
