Holiday Fun!

We have enjoyed our holiday season so far.  Chase went to visit Santa and got his picture taken. The Uskali family drove to Utah for Thanksgiving to be with some family; we had yummy food.  Chase had his birthday party last Saturday too! He didn't do much with the cupcake (bran muffin with frosting) or the presents, but he really likes his toys. Thank you everyone. Party pictures will be up after Christmas! These are just a few that I can post now. Enjoy!

New Post, Old Pics

I hope this slide show thing works. I have lots of pics of the last few months that need to be shared with everyone.

We have been keeping busy the last few months. We visited Matt's fire station up in the mountains,been to Chico, and we have been down South to visit family and friends. We even have a new friend, baby Emily, born on October 1. Chase went to the Big Big Fresno Fair for the first time. There has really only been 1 holiday since my last post, and there are lots of Halloween pictures to show. Although we don't have a picture, Chase is getting his first tooth in (finally, sigh, poor baby). We are looking forward to more upcoming holidays and plan to post more pictures later in November.

Love you all,

End of Summer

My last post was at the beginning of summer vacation when we went to Chico, for Relay for Life. I wanted to share the rest of our summer with everyone

Nanny came to see us too.

Most importantly this summer has been about spending time with my mom. Today she went to be with the Lord. I know she has blessed so many lives. We love you mom, and will miss you so much.

Relay For Life

We had a great time seeing our family and friends this last week in Chico.  Thank you to everyone on Team Turner, we did an amazing job with fund raising, those pies were a big hit.  A special appreciation to mom (Jean) who came in 3rd place for fund raising, way to go!  I even got a big surprise from my friend Traci who drove from Utah to be at relay and surprise me, thanks for that.  Here are a few pictures from the week.

Five Months and More

So so so so sorry I haven't posted in over 2 months!  We have been having our fun, and keeping extra busy. We went to Disneyland in April with the Turners, we had Chase dedicated at our church on Mother's Day, and Matt got hired earlier than expected so he went back to work already.  I'm almost done with school, only 3 1/2 more days, whoo hooo!  Here are the highlights of the last 2 months in pictures.

Spring time and Easter!

We had so much fun at Disneyland. Too bad all the hats were too big for Chase.

I'm 4 months old.

I'm 5 months old. Hi everyone.

My first taste of bananas. This is what I do with all new foods, but really I will like it as I get used to it.

I love to play and bounce. Daddy's hat is way too big for me.

Love you all! See you at Relay for Life!

Hi

I can never get him to do this on our web-cam chats, but here is Chase talking to everyone!

Cute cute baby

Chase is getting stronger. He holds his head up longer every time.

 I thought this was a cute outfit, and super cute smile.

and for the finale

Chase can roll over! Look out now.

Fun Times

We have been busy so far this spring, and we have a lot more to come.  We have visited family in Southern California and are looking forward to our Disneyland trip in April.  Here is a little look at what we have been doing.

I don't know how to do anything cute or fancy with them, but enjoy!

Does he look bigger to you?

People say they grow up so fast. We can't believe tomorrow he will be walking, and he gets his drivers license next week. lol

Happy Valentines Day

Sorry it has been a while since the last post. I enjoyed the rest of my maternity leave, it feels like it ended too soon.  Here are just a few of the things we did over the last few weeks.

We visited Chico and Chase got to meet Great Grandpa Jack. We got professional pictures done too, when we get them we will print and post them.

 Auntie Jolene and Casey came to visit.

Auntie Ellie and cousin Ambrose came to visit too! Chase and Brody shared some toys.

We love you all, please keep in touch.

Growing Boy

We have been worried about Chase gaining weight, but I think we can put that to rest, he weighed in at 7lbs 10oz yesterday.  He is just growing so fast, I can't believe he is already 4 weeks old.

More Pictures

Just a few more pictures we took, we know you love them.

Chase Check-ups

We took Chase to the doctor again for another check-up. He got his weight back up to birth weight, and got his frenulum (the skin under his tongue) cut to help improve his sucking for eating. When the doctor strapped him down to make the cut, Chase didn't cry, he was such a good boy. Thank you for all the prayers for Chase and for us. We are going to meet a lactation specialist today to see what other improvements we can make to his feeding and sucking, so he doesn't hurt mommy anymore.

Also, in the works are birth announcements. Keep an eye out, in a week or two one should arrive in the mail.
