More pictures, less words.

We had a fabulous Christmas/New Year/Chuck's birthday! I don't have much to report but I do have pictures!! I'll be back soon with something a little more wordy next time, maybe.

Here's Chase and I enjoying Christmas, even IF he was a little possessed at that moment.


Chase and I opening his favorite/my least favorite toy of the year. Yes, it's noisy.


Jackson is getting so freakin big! Here he is with my mom...


And lounging with my dad...


And snuggling his "pelt"...


And hangin' with Uncle Chuck.


Chase and Ashtin did NOT play well together this year. I'm sure a fight was brewing at this moment. Ashtin's already taken off his pants in preparation. He fights dirty.


Chase got a big boy bed from Santa. Here he is on Christmas morning checking it out.


And here he is telling me that I rock!

As if he needed to tell me.

Hope everyone's holidays were as great as mine!

When Zombie Stepmothers Attack

This year for Halloween we decided to take Chase up to our local mall for trick or treating (because it was cold. and we are lazy. and he didn't know the difference).

Our first stop was at my dad's house to visit my stepmom, eat a quick dinner and get dressed. Little did we know, a roaming pack of zombies had beaten us there.



We were all happy to be there and enjoyed our visit. Trisha, Adin and Ben even came by to say, "Hi".



Chase and Chuck were even enjoying themselves...




when she appeared. (Please note that Jackson, in the background, couldn't care less.)



The kids scrambled to get away. Well, except for Ben who was just fine with being attacked by a zombie, I guess.



The kids were brave and fought off the wicked zombie so we headed off to the mall, as most people do after they've destroyed a zombie or two. It was pretty uneventful other than Chase refused to hold his bucket out for the people to put the candy directly into it.



The highlight of the evening, however was getting to meet the famous Abby Cadabby.





All in all, it was a fun evening. And since Chuck and I are such nice parents, we even let him have one piece of candy before we ate the rest.
