What a celebration!

Saturday we celebrated Chase's first birthday! It was an exciting evening with lots of friends, family, food, and fun!
His cake was made by our favorite baker, April. To bad he could not have any, not to worry I had enough for both of us!

Happy Birthday Chase!

This morning Chase received his first birthday present for his 1st birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOY!

Dentist Time!

I can't believe it's already been six months since our last visit to Dr. Badger. I feel like we were just there a couple days ago.

Yes, I did pick Dr. Badger because of his last name (my maiden name) and no we are not related. How often do you find a Badger?

Blake's visit went just fine like always. His teeth were cleaned and flossed. There are no cavities and looking at the x-ray there is a 90% chance he will not need braces.

Chase also had an appointment, even though he has only 4 teeth. He could not have his teeth cleaned because of his peanut/nut allergies. Apparently there is a nut base in one of the teeth cleaning products.

Dr. Badger ask me if I had his epi-pens because he had another product to use, but he wanted the epi-pens "just in case." I was thinking there is not going to be a "just in case" situation today. I think he could feel my nervousness by my shaky voice and the tears whelping up in my eyes when I politely told him not to! Dr. Badger did look at all 4 teeth as Chase screamed and said it all looks fine and dandy.

I have no pics of Chase because I had to hold him during his exam!

So, Blake will return in May as a big five year and Chase will return in one year as a whopping two year old!

All in all it was great visit and we love Dr. Badger!

Kolby's Homecoming or should I say HomecomingS!

My first memory I have of Kolby (9 years ago) is him setting fire to his bunk beds. Now my pyro nephew has grown into a smart, handsome 15 yr old.

Mara attends Rudder, so not only was Kolby going to his homecoming at Consol he also went to her homecoming. I thought her mum was very nice, especially since his favorite aunt made it, wink!!!

What a cutie!

Tiger Homecoming! Mum made special for Mara by Graff Incorp. Always room in your heart for your mommy!

I wonder what I will feel like when Blake or Chase attends their first homecoming...?!

I was very honored to be apart of both these special days!
