Well, I tried to update this via the regular computer. It took so long and didn't even upload one picture. So, back to the phone. Sorry for the crappy quality on the pictures. :(
It has been a busy start to the new year! Chad already went to school in Atlanta for a week. And I go to a seminar in Chicago next weekend.
A couple weeks ago we had a last minute breakfast/game morning. It turned out great! We had a few friends over, ate a HUGE breakfast and played games. It was so much fun that we will be doing it again! :)
Chadders is growing so much! He knows most of his colors, shapes, and he can count to 10! We are starting on our letters as well, and he knows a handful of those! Unfortunatly, he still doesn't want anything to do with potty training. His pediatrician told us to stop pushing him and he would do it when he was ready. So, we stopped. We'll see how long until he is ready. Mommy and Daddy are ready! Ha!
Chad and I went to the Decatur Barstool open for our 1st time this year. We had a ball! Great friends always means a great time! :)
Chadders is still obsessed with Thomas! Everything revolves around his train table and trains. We play with and do a lot of other things, but Thomas still wins it all. Here are a few random pictures. Enjoy!

Wow, its been a while!

So, its been a few months since I have updated this thing. Sorry. :( I am attaching some random pictures. Over the summer, Chad got a new bow. There is a picture of Dad Force shooting it out in the back yard. And of course, Chadders turned 2! I can't believe it! He had a Thomas party, and got TONS of Thomas everything! And, he plays and wears everybit of it! Thanks to everyone! There are a few pictures of the morning after his party, but I don't have any party pics on my phone. But, we are planing to try another internet at the house. If all goes well, I will be canceling my internet on my phone, and be able to update with better quality pics! Yay! Hopefully this will be very soon!

July 2010

Wow! July has flown by so fast! 5 months 'till Christmas! I know, I know, don't point that out, right?! We are starting to plan Chadders' 2nd Birtday party. It will be Thomas theamed, as he LOVES Thomas right now. :)
Our very good friends, Aria and George, welcomed Baby Jacob into this world this month! There is a picture of him. We are so, so happy for them both!
There are also pictures of Chadders and Lucas playing after Luke's 3rd birthday party. Those boys sure know how to get into trouble. :) there is also a picture of Chadders and Austin playing with trains. :)

June 2010

Wow, its been a while since I have updated this thing. :) It has been a very busy month!

Kellie and Nate got married! Yay! It was a beautiful wedding and everyone had a blast at the reception. They had a lot of amazing friends and family that traveled near and far to share their day. We are so happy for them! I even got a slow dance out of Chad! :) I had an awesome time with everyone out on the dance floor! Can't wait to see the pictures and video! The happy couple are now enjoying a nice long honeymoon overseas! Congrats!

Rebekah went on vacation out to the east coast with her family in their camper. So, Chadders spent a week with Aunt Susie. Chad and I went to dinner and a movie, cleaned the house, and rented another movie. The house was just way to quite! Ha! And I watched Austin on my day off. Austin is Jill's(a friend that I work with) little boy that is 1 month younger then Chadders. She is watching Chadders next week on Tuesday(hope the boys play well together!) :)
Chadders, Aunt Susie, and Jerry had way more fun then us. :) Chadders went swimming and to his 1st Movie. Toy story 3 in 3D! He lasted about an hour and half and wore his glasses the whole time! Wow! Aunt Susie is way more gutsy then Chad and I. Ha! And now Chadders has a new found love for Thomas the Train. :)

Father's Day was a nice day. We didn't do too much, but still had a nice time. We went to the Steamboat Festival on Saturday and just hung out and went to dinner on Sunday. We didn't see either of our Dad's, but still talked to them. Chad got a new flag for outside and his motorcycle ins and registration so he could ride it. :) Chadders now gets excited when we see a motorcycle and yells "Bike!".

Chad goes to Atlanta next week for Porsche training. So, we'll be busy and missing him all week!

California!

Well, we are still on vacation, but Chadders is taking a nap, so I just thought I would update the blog now. :). we are having a blast! Tomorrow is our last day here, and then we fly out Monday morning.
We flew into San Diego Sunday at 2pm. The flights weren't too bad. Chadders slept for about 2.5-3 hrs of the long 4 hour flight. Thank goodness! It was hard to keep him occupied. After we landed we went to get the rental car, and it took FOREVER. We forgot Chadders car seat, so we had to go to Target and buy one. When we went back to the car to put the carseat in, Chad locked the keys in the trunk! (Yes, I am glad it was him and not me!) Thank goodness we were meeting Kellie and Nate for lunch(a very late one) because they called AAA for a locksmith and saved us $40-60. After eating and getting the car unlocked, we headed to Salton City. 1.5 hrs of mountain roads suck! I was car sick, and Chadders looked green in the back. When wwe did make it, it was worth it! We got to see Erica, Ralphy, Marley, George, Aria(30 weeks prego!), Mondo, Mely, and Ralphy's family(including his Brother's new daughter!). What a great first day after all of the hitches.
On Monday we drove into the desert for Aria's surprise baby shower at Desert European. It was great! Got to see lots of old friends and Aria got lots of cute stuff(including her stroller and pack n play). BTW, they are having a little boy, Jacob Espinoza! Due July 22!
Tuesday we took the kids to the Children's Discovery Muesem of the Desert. They had fun! Lots to play with. And then they played in the pool at Erica's house. Every evening included brushing Hercules(their St. Bernard). Poor guy had tons of matts from shedding so much, he looks great now!
Wednesday we just stayed at the house and let the babies play in the pool. It was hot out, so it was great! And Hercules got a bath! Yay!
Thursday we left Erica's and drove to San Diego. We took a different road, not through the mountains, and it took 3 hours! But, we made it in time to pick up Mom and Dad from the airport. After checking into the hotel we took Chadders to the beach for the first time! He loved it! When we stood him up in the sand, he froze, he didn't know what to do. So cute! No pictures on my phone, sorry. :( and then we went to Kellie and Nates and out to dinner. Great day!
Friday was Nate's graduation. SDSU is beautiful! And we had such wonderful weather! Chadders didn't really sit through the ceremonys, but he enjoyed running around! We ended the day with dinner at a family style italian place. It was really good!
Today was Nate's graduation party/cookout at Balboa park. Lots of friends and family came to celebrate! Chadders liked playing on the grass running around. And now we end with his nap. I will post more with more pictures soon! :)

Its may already?!

This weekend was spent with Mom and Dad Force. Both, Chad and myself, had to work Saturday. So, Gma and Gpa Force got to babysit Chadders. Gpa and Chad both got fitted for their tuxes, and I got fitted for my bridesmaid dress to be altered. Only 6 weeks untill Kellie and Nate's wedding!
We spent some time out in the yard this weekend. We even got Gma and Gpa to ride the quad! Had lots of fun! Chadders LOVES riding on the 4 wheeler(we don't go very fast though).
Today, after Gma and Gpa went home, Chad and I took Chadders for a bike ride in the country. It was fun(except those darn up hills-the down were great! LOL). He loves his little bike trailer. Now just 2 weeks untill our trip to California!

Ending April

Well, today, Chadders had his 1st haircut! He is so stinkin' cute! Unfortunatly he didn't do as good as his Daddy did for his 1st haircut. Accoriding to Gma Force, Daddy just sat there like a good boy. Chadders, not so much. Everytime she toched him he whined. And he had to sit on Mommy's lap. And every chance he got, he would give her a dirty look. Luckily, Marilyn(the barber) was still so sweet and kept trying to make it better. She got it all trimmed up nicely. Not much to save though.
We also got to play outside for an hour or so before it started raining. Chadders and Daddy rode on the 4 wheeler on the back lot for a bit. And then Chadders rode his little 4 wheeler for a while. All in all, it was a great day. Tomorrow is 3 weeks until we fly to California! Woo hoo!
