Iowa Game

We went to an Iowa game over the weekend with Pj, Bobbi, Angie, & Travis. Then we met up with Jason, Becca, and lots of others! We had a good time - definitely something we will never forget!

We bought Blake this jersey for only $20! I thought that was super cheap. He, of course, loved it!

This is at 5:30 a.m. I don't even remember the last time we were up that early! lolThe Boys!

The girls!

Nice hat, Bobbi! :)

Playin' Baggo - seems to be a popular game these days!

Angie was so excited b/c she almost beat the boys in tippy cup!

And the girls finally won! They were pumped!

This group a few cars down came and asked them to join for one BIG game of tippy cup! They did - and let's just say H-I-L-A-RI-O-U-S!

Have I ever mentioned how fun it is to pretty much be the only sober person! I have so much fun watching everyone else! And I have so much fun making sure they never forget their moments....

Moments like this........

We all made it to the game! There was a point I wasn't so sure...but we did!

These people are crazy!!!

Cuddle

Clayton, Andy, & Jessie came over for dinner last night. Blake loves Clayton - and of course Clayton loves Blaker! He fell asleep on my lap last night, and Clayton had to cuddle with him. :) I can't wait for Clayton to be a daddy - he's so good!

Lake of the Ozarks

We spent four days in the Ozarks about a week ago. It was SO nice to get away and have nothing to do! I think this is one of the busiest summers we have had in a few years! We went with another couple, and his parents have a condo and boat down there. There were so kind in letting us stay at their place as well as use their boat!

Blake is actually flirting with a little girl here - it was quite comical. He had a couple of waitresses standing off to the side to watch him in action.

This is Ryan - He was such a trooper with all these wonderful stages Blake is going through...."mine" is a famous word of his. I've decided to tell him that it is a bad word b/c it is driving me nuts! He's also going through this rough-housing stage. And I'm afraid that we might not get out of this one all that fast.....he's a Chase...a boy...and two years old. He didn't quite understand that Ryan is only 11 months old and you can't jump on top of him!

For our anniversary, I rented a Harley for 24 hours while we were there. Zack was so surprised - and I was so happy that he was surprised! Jeff and Jaime's anniversary was right before we went....so it worked perfectly.

Here is Blake having his "moment" - well one of many - while waiting to sit/ride on the motorcycle. We're working on patience! Any suggestions......

Blake FINALLY got to sit on the motorcycle! He stopped crying until we had to leave. I'm just not so fun these days...unless it's bedtime.

He played with these helmets for the 24 hours that we had them! It was cute to watch him be creative in what he was doing with them or why he was wearing them!

This picture was actually on the way there. Neither of the boys slept much on the way home. :(

Just getting ready for our first boat ride. And he's not too sure as you can see!

It was a little chilly - so Dad was nice and shared his shirt! :)

Nana & Papa Visit

Nana and Papa came for a visit a few weeks ago. We enjoyed their company....and Blake thoroughly enjoyed Papa's popcorn!

Big Boy Potty

Blake went potty a couple of days ago like a big boy. He asked to sit on it...so of course we did just that. Daddy had to "come wif us." He sat down and immediately asked for toilet paper. I told him he had to go potty in the big boy potty before he could have some. So after a few grunts to get something out, he started singing Twinkle Twinkle. And then he did his famous mouth-wide-open expression. HE WAS GOING POTTY! Neither Zack or I said a thing while he was going. As soon as he finished, he threw his arms in the air and said, "I did it!" And then said, "Paper now?!" Of course I rewarded him with toilet paper. How awesome is that...toilet paper as a reward! I love it!

"I Did It"

We pulled out the a few things for Bella to borrow, and Blake just didn't understand the fact that they were not for him! I was on the computer a few days ago, and he just kept saying, "I did it, Amy. I did it, Amy" So I finally checked it out - and here is what he was so proud of. Notice that both legs are in the same leg hole!
