Wow! 5 Months Already!

Our little boy is 5 months old today. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Sometimes I wish I could have one of those long, sleepless nights with him again.
He's doing lots of "big boy" things....as many as a 5 month old can do....
He sits up really well, almost by himself.
He loves to eat! Doesn't turn anything down! He puts down 1 1/2 to 2 jars of baby food a day, on top of all of the milk he drinks! wow!
He loves to laugh and play with Naomi. They are such good buddies! I enjoy watching them interact. She calls him "Baby Kay"-so adorable.He loves to be outside, suck on his toes, "talk", and he just started doing the blowfish sound with his lips. =)
He goes to sleep on his own, pretty much every night, and sleeps anywhere from 10-12 hours! (Naomi still doesn't do that)
His favorite part of the day is when he hears or sees his daddy come home.
He's drools all day long.
He now likes belly time.
And he can even stand for a few seconds by himself!
We are so blessed to have him in our home!! We love our "Baby Kay"!

Funny Naomi

The other day as we were getting out of the car to go into the grocery store it was raining. Naomi was yelling, "Mom, I need a kite! Mom, I need a kite!" And I was having trouble breathing cause I was laughing so hard.

She gets kites and umbrellas mixed up.

Mesquite

We went on a 3 day trip to Mesquite and Vegas for some fun family time.

The trip included: Footloose at Tuacahn, Sunset Station Buffet (yes, i did enjoy that),golf, The Donny and Marie Show, McKay's first swim,M&M factory for some of the family, 116 degree weather!,
seeing friends along the way, lots of laughs,
2 wonderful kids, (Na and Mac are the only grand kids so far on this side of the family, but they were so well-behaved and fun to have on the trip).

And most important of all...some time to relax!

Kristan's Wedding

One of my Best Friends got married yesterday in the St. George Temple. The kids and I made the trek down there so we could be a part of all of the great things that happened that day.

Here are the Bride and Groom right after being sealed.

The kids taking a nap...sort of. It was the first time that McKay was trying to tease Na. It was kinda funny to me cause I know it will happen when they're older.Newlyweds!

Parents of the brideFriends....

Pretty and Yummy cake

My great kiddos-not too good of a picture but at least we have one right? =)

The reception was so pretty!Katelyn came with us to help me with the kids. She was the best!!
McKay was a great traveler!

Family Pictures

I decided to snap a few pictures after church because we were all dressed and looking decent!

We don't have any pictures as a family since McKay joined us, even though they're not the best at least we captured our day...
THE CHASE FAMILY...THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN "ACTION SHOT" BUT IT DIDN'T REALLY WORK OUT AND NAOMI'S FACE MAKES ME LAUGH SO HARD...THE BOYS...MAC...HIS FAVORITE SEAT...

Look What I Found

Naomi loves to climb and loves to try on anything of mine. Found her tryin on my glasses the other day. Thought she looked cute. Might not be long til she has a pair of her own. I got mine when i was in 3rd grade. (please excuse the messy bathroom)

Cute little birthmarks

McKay was born with a few birthmarks on the back of his head. They were really dark red when he was born but now they're a lot lighter, so just wanted to document. It's almost sad to see that special part of him fade away. Is it weird I want it to stay?

McKay Laughing

4th of July Festivities

We had a busy 4th of July, and it was such a great time! We started the day with the ward/neighborhood party, where Naomi got her arm painted (she opted for that instead of her face), and did all of those other carnival type things, and ran around with her friends. McKay slept most of the time there, and Adam and I had fun chatting with friends.Then we were off to a little adult time. Adam and I went and played golf while my sis-in-law watched the kiddos. Mike, Terri and Cory came with us. My golf career just started so I'll just say that I was the "slowest".After golf we had a family barbeque, cause no 4th of July is complete without it. Naomi did sparklers and we watched a movie to end the night. Adam, Na, McKay and I all fell asleep! Ha!! Guess we all needed it.our little guy is getting so big!makeup with aunt Lynsie
