Pictures of Chase

Just a cute picture I got of Chase watching T.V.:
So this has never happened before and I was laughing so hard that I think I woke him up before I could snap anymore pictures.

We put the kids to bed all at the same time. We are very blessed to have pretty good kids and they usually go right to sleep. However, this night we were upstairs watching T.V. and we heard a door shut, which means someone is out of bed. We waited a few minutes cause the child usually comes upstairs to come talk to us. Well, like I said we waited and then we discovered this:Here he was sound asleep right next to the light on the computer in the toy room. He was so cute! Kids are so funny!

Chase is playing with one of his construction trucks and is making sounds as he is play. Way to cute that I could not resist taking a picture.
Then he saw the flash go off as I took the above picture, then looked up at me and said "Cheese", so I had to take another! LOL!

Oh Boy, it's a Boy!

Okay for those of you who know us, we did not want to know the sex of the baby. It is just more of a surprise for the both of us. We have decided this long ago and has been our choice for Tana and Chase.

So, we went in for our ultrasound on January 4th when I was 29 weeks along. The ultrasound tech was looking around at the baby, making measurements and then put it on the 3D look. (That is so cool to see.) The tech was moving around very quickly then Paul asked, "Is that his foot that we see?" (Mind you we did not know what it was, we just say "he") She responds with, "Yes, your seeing his foot here, and here is his legs then right here is his scrotum, then over here is his spine." What!? I, of course, was very shocked and looked right at Paul, who was literally grinning from ear to ear.

At first we were not going to reveal to anyone the sex of the baby, but it just got to hard. Plus, those of you who come to my house would of course figure it out sooner or later, cause of the preparations we would make in the baby's room.

My ultrasound DVD would not upload so this is the best we could do. It is amazing how much all of our kids look so much alike.So now the question that I get most is what is his name going to be. Well, we have a list going and are open to any suggestions to add to the list. However, no, we do not have a specific name picked out.

The pregnancy has been going just fine and currently I have less than 8 weeks left!

Shepherd Volunteer Fireman

As Paul has been very slow with work, he has taken on volunteering for the Shepherd Fire Department. After attending the required meetings and some training he was issued all of the equipment. He is very excited for this new expedition in his life. So far he has not had many calls to attend, but is looking forward to this new adventure.

With the mask on:Just a personal opinion here, but doesn't he look so cute?!

Christmas 2009

Before Christmas, the girls reminded us that they needed to go see Santa. So we did, however, Chase was not as happy as they were, about seeing him.We had a wonderful Christmas. The kids were really excited with everything that they got. However, I think that Santa's gift to all of them was their favorite!

Before the attack of the kids:
Here is Tana working on one of her presents:Kailey waited so patiently while brother and sister opened their presents:Chase was so excited that he got a pair of P.J.'s that had Buzz on them. The girls and their matching jammies:
