Easter Weekend!

Grandpa T-Bone trying to controll the wild beast, no, not really, he's only yawning.

The one and only time he'll wear his jacket, hey Rooster!

Mommy & Chase

Our family had a beautiful weekend. The Daddy went fishing on Saturday and came home happy and smelly, two signs of success. The weather was gorgeous so the Mommy went to her parents and set up shop around a lounger in the sun, perfect. Between Grandma, the dogs, the birds, and every other sound on the farm the Baby was stimulated and in great spirits. Victory

On Easter Sunday I attempted a dinner party. My Mom and Dad, Tim and Ellen, Z and Grammy came over and I won't say it went off without a hitch but it WAS fun. We're so lucky to have so much family just a phone call away (and willing to let me practice my hostess skills on, scary)! The Easter Bunnies brought Chase rattles, and toys and Grandma Ellen even found a pair of "big boy" swim trunks... I think we're all ready for summer!!!

Another Trip for Chase

Had to throw this one in! I doubt it surprises anyone.

Annie and I, baby swapping!

Our first major family outing was Thursday. We went to Springfield, I know you're thinking, that's major? Well it IS. 3 plus hours spent driving, lunch out, and then the ladies of Town & County. It's a long day for anyone, especially when you have to get your diaper changed. I got to show the Little Man off to all my "other Mothers" as they used to call themselves. This was fun because Chase and I both got to hear how adorable we were. Annie came and brought Jack her 41/2 month old son who is as sweet as can be, he looks just like a tiny man. We ate cookies and I tried on clothes (of course) all the while forgetting that Cole was roaming the isles of Bass Pro Shop...scary. It was a great day and Chase was wondreful allthough he was a little hung over the next day.
