2 year pictures

A friend of mine took some pictures of Chase recently so thought I would share them. They are AWESOME!!! Rebecca wanted to practice on some kids because she is thinking about taking pictures professionally. She did an absolute amazing job. I am so pleased with the pictures. She really captured Chase being "natural"...his personality really shows in these pictures. They were taken at the Kessie(my grandparents) pond/house. She has a website(which I don't have at the moment) if anyone lives in the CC area and needs pictures taken. Thanks Rebecca! Enjoy

Rachel and Adam

My cousin Rachel is getting married in November so we were all together for Adam's "man shower" on Saturday. He got lots of Lowe's gift cards. Ryan and Jamie had one GREAT party. Thanks for having us!! Congrats Rachel and Adam! Aren't these so cute? And they were actually edible (I didn't try them...sorry). Lots of people did eat them though.

We went with our buddies Ethan and Kaden(Harmony and Cheri too) to the zoo this week. We had so much fun! We plan on making it a weekly event for the summer now. Chase, Kaden, and Ethan

Great Grandpa Kessie

These are some pics from Fathers day with Great Grandpa Kessie. He has a BIG "beep beep", also known as a golf cart at his house. Chase loves to ride with him back to the pond at their house. He's a pretty cool guy!

"Beep Beep!!!" "Beep Beep!!!"

Chase LOVES his beep beep. He can't get enough. If you even mention the word "outside" he runs to the door "beep beep" and he gets louder and louder until you take him for a ride. These pics are from a fathers day walk. Chase has an amazing daddy!!! They get to spend lots of time together this summer while daddy is off from school. Lots of time for walks in the beep beep!!!

Grandpa Graves

We hung out with Grandpa (and Grandma) Graves on Sunday for an early Father's day. They have two dogs and Chase loves them. Happy Father's Day!

"Beep Beep"

Chase loves to take rides in his "beep beep" as he calls it. The Sefton's let us borrow the blue car in these pictures and Chase has a blast. The red "beep beep" he got last year for his birthday and has figured out how to ride it. He runs to the door and says "beep beep" and would ride for hours if we'd take him.

He looks kind of grumpy in this picture but he was having fun I promise


So focused!!!

Summer fun

Chase loved learning to drink from the hose last week! He LOVES this nice weather we've been having.

Eldora

We went to the races at Eldora over the weekend. It was a blast! A nice way to spend our 5th anniversary! Enjoy

Funny

Some funny pics of Chase. Lately he's been funny/grumpy/happy/sad/independent/whiny/clingy...a whirlwind of emotions. He goes from one to another in a matter of minutes. We call him tornado because he's into everything. We love him just the same though. Oh the life of a toddler. He continues to learn more words and is loving this nice weather! Enjoy.
