Days of Summer

Sights around the Chase house:
The cutest lion you'll ever meet, (masks by Naomi & Co.)
Dad's food is always the best
Lovin some oreos
princesses often stop by for lunch
i always have someone who wants to help w/ the dishes
and I had a goal to learn new 10 recipes in 2 weeks. I only learned 6, but hey at least I'm trying to learn how to cook. It's actually very fun. I'm just spoiled to live w/ a great chef.
This one is a banana and pineapple bread. It looks burnt but it's not. And it was quite de-li-cious!

Naomi and the Button

It's been a couple weeks but I do need to share an interesting story about my little Naomi.
She got a new outfit and it came with an extra button. Naomi was pretty curious and was playing with the button and after about 30 seconds it was no where to be found. She came and told me that it was up her nose and I knew right away that it was no joke. She was actually telling the truth.
So we packed up the car and took a roadtrip to the dr's office. They wouldn't even look at her and referred us to the urgent care. The dr there tried to get it out but had no luck so she sent us to the ER.
So we walked in the ER and for the 3rd time in 2 hours explained why there was a button in my child's nostril.
Naomi was so calm and was having a blast meeting all of the nurses and drs at the hospital. She thinks everyone in the world is her best friend. (wonder where she gets that...Adam) So after introducing herself to the staff and explaining to each one that she had a button in her nose and that she was the one that put it there we sat in a small, hot room for about and hour waiting for the dr to come. Then, he came and like every one else I met that day, looked at me like I was the worst mom in the world. He put on a hat, that looked much like a miner's helmet-with the light on the top-and after wrapping my daughter up like a taco, we'll just say he "dug" the button out of her nose.
They gave her this cute bear to hold onto and advised her to never put anything in her nose again.
Hope that never happens again.

Gotta Love This Picture

Naomi loves to be "the mom", and to do mom things. Here she is reading to McKay.
It only lasted a few seconds but it was very sweet.

Something fishy.......to do

We finally hit up the aquarium and it was really alot of fun. And I think the kids learned alot, too.
Here's Naomi checkin out a star fish...
She had no desire to touch any of the animals but loved learning about them
McKay didn't mind touching them, he was laughing so hard!
Gram Gram was brave enough to touch them too
Here are the adorable cousins (they're really Adam's cousins) that we went with-Thomas and Nick
                                                        Na captivated by the penguins

Naomi and McKay are so lucky to have 3 great-grandmas and 2 of them live so close!
The pics are really dark mostly cause they asked me not to use a flash, don't really know why, but it was fun and the kids could have stayed there all day checkin out the animals. So if you're lookin for anything fun to do on these still kinda cold Utah days...here's an option.

Naomi's Garden

When I was little my mom and I planted a sunflower in our yard, and it grew to be so tall (or maybe I just thought it was cause I was small) so I thought it would be fun to do the same with my little girl. And I've always wanted to plant a garden and I thought it would be lots of fun to have my first with my Naomi. So we went to good ole Walmart and Naomi picked out each of the plants and we found a nice sunny place for them in our yard. We've been having lots of fun watering them and checking on them each morning to see if they are still alive! =)
The first day we planted the sunflower seeds...This smile makes me giggle.
Then the next day we planted the flowers...too sunny to smile for the camera
but not too sunny to make goofy faces

Lovin some enchiladas.....
