Chase's Avenger Birthday Party

Love these super heros!!!  All 3 had a blast playing super hero, thanks Grammy for picking these up, they made the party.  Chase had made a lot of new friends while we were in Utah, but we thought it would be best to do a family party for Chase since we were leaving the next night and Chase had been really sick the week before.  Chase loved all his gifts, just realized we never sent out thank you cards.  Sorry the move has made me forget a lot of things.  





Chase was too cute.  He set the table and brought everyone their drink before he sat down.  He is such a gentleman.
Pizza, pizza.  One of Bryce's favorites.
Super hero soccer.

Chase loved his pinata or as he called it his pinyaya.

He was sweet enough to give CoCo and Bryce a turn each, before he took over the bat and went to town.


Sweetness.


Water Balloon Relay that turned into a water balloon fight with the adults until the kids got upset.


Cool.  Chase was loving the batmobile.  Thanks CoCo.  And he loves his transformer plane from Aunt Kara and he still sleeps with his night puppy every night that Aunt Kara brought him.


The cake that I reorderd about 4 different times, and I then forgot to get a close up picture before we cut into it.  It turned out really cute and I was glad The Store was so nice.

Petting Zoo at Thanksgiving Point

 Chase picked the biggest horse to ride.  He was so proud of himself.
 Tractor time.  Chase is in heaven.
 They could pass as twins.
 I hope I never find these two behind bars.

"Hi, Mom."  Bryce loves to tell everyone Hi and Bye and you better say Hi and Bye back or you are in trouble.
That night Aunt Kara brought over some Batman cupcakes to tell Chase happy birthday.  I think Bryce might have enjoyed it more, but Chase loved getting a blue tongue from the icing (and his blue surprise the next day in the toilet was a shocker for Chase).
 Bryce loves sweets!  He must take after his mom more than his dad.

Chase's 4th Birthday

 So Chase celebrated his birthday 4 different times.  Once with his Grandma and Grandpa a week before, once on his actual birthday(pictured here), our family party, and then again when he saw his Dad in Maryland.  Chase was so excited to see the super hero decorations when he woke up and came upstairs that morning at my moms.  "Wow, what is this.  I have never seen this before."
Chase is the best right now and still is as sweet as can be.  He is such a big helper to me and he is being so much nicer to Bryce these days.  He still loves trains and cars, but I think he loves super heros and power rangers more.  He is growing too fast.

 What a cutie.  Chase just loves birthdays.
Make a wish Chase before Bryce snags a taste of your cake.
Chase wanted to go swimming for his birthday so we hit up Murray Pool and had a great day.  Love these zero entry pools.
 Bryce loves wearing his hat.  He kept it on the hold time while in the pool.
We saw our friends Mel and Ashton at the pool which made it even more fun.  And I was glad because I forgot to snap some pics of them the other day when we met up with them at Murray park.  Good times getting together with my old college roomie.

Red Butte Gardens

We had a great time at Red Butte Gardens with my friend Jenny, and her super cute kids, Will, Thomas and Annie(she is only like 4 days older than Bryce).  So much fun catching up with a great friend and the kids had a blast too feeding ducks, walking through the gardens, and playing in the red sand.  Thanks Jenny for suggesting Red Butte, we loved it.  My picture taking that day was not my best.

Bryce and Annie(just waking up from a nap)





Didn't realize this till I saw the picture.  But there were 4 candles on this flower cake in the children's garden that Chase pretended to blow out, which was perfect since the next day he turned 4.

Brighton Lake

It had been so long since I last walked around Brighton Lake.  So we took a nice little Sunday drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon to Brighton Lake and walked around.  It was beautiful and the weather was perfect.  And we saw 3 moose that morning that were really close to the path.  Very cool.





Bountiful Park Fun with Second Cousins

We had a great morning at Bountiful Park with my cousin Aubrey and my Aunt Cheri(thanks for the pictures, they turned out great) and her two cute kiddos Brooklyn and Sam.  Cousins are so much fun!
