I think I can

Chase has been able to stand on his own and walk with help for a while now, but just a little over a week ago he took his first steps on his own!  We were so proud of him. I still wouldn't say he's walking, but he tries every once in a while.

We also had the chance to take a trip up to Sequoia National Park to see some snow.  We saw some big trees, stayed in the lodge over night, and had fun playing in the snow. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Coolest kid on the mountain.

Chase had a great time in the snow on day 2. He even went down the hill on his sled. When he got to the bottom he would show us the sign for again.

More cute pics

This is winter in California. This was a great trip to Chico, we got to play outside a lot. The pictures of Chase in the green shirt are at Hooker Oak Park, part of Bidwell Park.

The rest of the outdoor pictures are at Hooker Oak Elementary School, not too confusing I hope.

Awww, my ball!           Those dogs!

A friend for Rio

Super Dog! But he's too scared to go down the slide.

Daddy makes a good ride.

and so does Rio! Gitty-up

Here are the birthday party pictures I promised.

Yummy! Homemade cake.

Gotta have the hat if you're the birthday boy.

What's this? Hmmm, I don't think so.

Now this is fun!
