Chase's Birthday

Chase turned 12 on August 6th. I still can't believe it. Since we traveled so much this summer, our birthday party budget was depleted. We gave Chase the option of a party with a little present or better presents with no party. He picked the presents :) A few days before his birthday we went out as a family to a local pizza place. Chase loved his presents and his cookie (Chase is not a cake fan). We then went to see a hamster movie in 3D. We had NO idea how expensive the 3D version of the movie was. Our evening out (plus the extra presents) ended up costing just as much as a party would have cost. Oh well, Chase was happy and that was the most important thing.

More Florida

My poor, pitiful, neglected blog. Here it is almost October, and my blog is still stuck in July :( Life can get so busy!! The problem is that when I wait too long to blog about something, then I forget all of the stories and just have to put up the pictures. I hereby promise to have a post a day until my blog is caught up. Wait, that may not work. I hereby promise to TRY to post on a daily basis until my blog is caught up.

Here are a few more pictures from our Florida trip in JULY! Our friends sent us these pictures.
