Chase Turns 3! Kachow!!!

It has been a fun filled week at our place. Chase turned 3 this past Monday and we celebrated his birthday twice(it seems to be a tradition in our family to celebrate one's birthday on more than one day). The night of his birthday we had the Roths and Leese and Rei's family join us for pizza and ice cream cake. We had a great time and Chase loves Leese and Rei who live next door, they seem to play together really well even though they are 7 and 5.
Rei is laughing at Chase and Leese cause we couldn't get them to stop blowing their party horns to get a picture.

I don't think Chase has eaten cake since his last birthday, but he kept telling people that he wanted cake for his birthday. So he was a happy little guy when he finally got to eat his ice cream birthday cake.
Chase is the best. He seems like he is growing up fast now that he has turned 3, and he says more and more each day. Some funny Chase sayings right now are "2 more minutes"(whenever I want to get him to stop), "play trains and cars"(says this line about 50 times a day), "Chase wins"(he loves to race and win). Chase is still so sweet and kind. He always asking me if I am o.k., and always says sorry, please, thank you. He just melts your heart with his sweet little voice. It has been a wonderful 3 years, Cole and I enjoy every second with Chase, well almost every second.
This is a typical late afternoon scene at my place. Chase is playing in the street with the neighbor kids while Bryce is hanging out on the blanket watching.

It has felt like Christmas at our house with all the awesome presents Chase received from family and friends. He loves it all.

Party number 2. Marie, Helen, and Mark came over to play and celebrate Chase's birthday. It turned out great. The kids colored Lightening Mcqueen drawings and added stickers, glitter, and stamps(got to keep their attention), played a Cars memory game(big hit), and hot potato with a stuffed Lightening McQueen his Aunt Kara got them. The kids all had a great time with out any tears, and Chase loved that he got to blow out candles and eat ice cream cake again.

Wow Chase is now three!! It looks like he had a wonderful birthday party. Josh is into the "CARS" crave also and wants everything to be Lightning McQueen. Bryce looks so happy to be alive. He is so big now! Some days I wish I could freeze time and just live in the moment until I'm ready to move on. Kids grow up way too fast.

You certainly know how to celebrate. Maybe we'll have to do it all over again when I get there. It's hard to believe Chase is already 3. He is so adorable, and Bryce is definitely one happy guy. Thanks for sharing.
