Brothers

I was just taking some pictures of Jacksen the other day, since sometimes 2 or more weeks will go by where I don't take any pictures of the poor kid, and surprisingly Chase joined in. He's been going through a phase where (1) he hates getting his pictures taken and (2) he refuses to get too close to baby brother for fear of being drooled on. So it made my day that he manned up and sat next to his brother and he didn't cover his face! Love that he's giving the peace sign! Or inadvertently giving it, I doubt he knows the peace sign!

It makes me laugh that Chase has that one little tuft of hair that sticks up and Jack's whole head sticks up. It also makes me laugh that they each have one ear (from Jason) that sticks out way more than their other ear! I promise babe, I'm not making fun of you.

Chase Experiences the Greatest Show on Earth

Back in January we took Chase to the circus for the first time. It was a more ghetto version of Barnum and Bailey called the Jordan World Circus. But still just as entertaining. And our tickets only cost a total of $25 rather than $50 or more. And there weren't assigned seats which I liked. The first half we got to sit pretty close. The second half Chase was getting a little restless and Jacksen was having trouble falling asleep so we moved to an area with a lot less people where I could pace back and forth with Jack and Chase could move around too. There were bears and elephants, elephant and pony rides, and the usual acrobatics. Chase's favorite act? The girls dressed like mermaids doing acrobatics to the Little Mermaid music. Ariel does have a special place in his heart. After all, he did request an Ariel doll for his birthday (which sadly he didn't get).

PeePee Bike

So recently Chase has entered the typical boy stage where he loves using potty language. He thinks it's hilarious to put "peepee" in front of everything. Sorry if this post will offend anyone. But you ask him what book he wants to read before bed, it's always the "peepee" book. What pajamas will it be Chase? I'm sure you can guess his response. Jacksen has become peepee brother, I've become peepee mom and Jason has become, well you probably guessed it already.

Anyway that is where I got my title for this post. The whole point of this post is to FINALLY announce that after 10 months, Chase is fully potty trained. After we moved we basically had to start all over. I told Chase once he used the potty all the time, we would go to Toys "R" Us and he could pick out the bike of his dreams. And the day came about two weeks ago. He went through his first full week in underwear full time completely accident free. So that Saturday we went to get his bike. And his dream bike turned out to be a Buzz Lightyear one. I really had my money on Lightning McQueen.

Just Rolling Around

Yes I'm incredibly behind blogging by about a year and a half. Since my computer had viruses last spring and took forever to fix, half my pictures are now on Jason's netbook and half of them are on this computer. So it makes me feel all out of whack when I want to continue blogging in order. But I do plan this weekend on getting those organized and posting some pics from the last year so everyone can see how our boys have grown! For now, enjoy Jacksen. He loves just rolling around on a blanket. But he's kind of timid about rolling all the way over. He abhors being on his stomach for any amount of time. So he spends a great amount of time on his side.
