Daddy/Daughter Dance

Blake & Paige

Last month Blake had the privilege of taking Paige, our friends Sara & Keith's daughter, to a Daddy/Daughter Dance.  Keith is currently in Afghanistan and Blake was happy to be Paige's date.  They had a great time together eating yummy treats and after 3 dances together, Paige asked Blake if it would be okay if she danced by herself...so cute!  A good time was had by both Blake and Paige.  Thanks to Sara & Keith for letting Blake attend his one and only Daddy/Daughter Dance!

Blake's Birthday

Being silly

Blake's birthday this year was supposed to be a fun night out with friends at a comedy club.  Instead, we actually got a snow storm and were forced to stay home.  We ended up having a great time with the kids, Happy Birthday Blake!

First lost tooth!

When we made this video, Chase was so excited because he had his first wiggly tooth.  He couldn't believe that he was about to get a visit from the tooth fairy.  It took several days for the tooth to finally come out and I didn't realize how much "drama" there would be about the foods that he ate because they would "hurt his wiggly tooth!" 

When the tooth finally did come out, his adult tooth was already half way up!  It was hidden behind the baby tooth.  Since then, he's lost his second bottom tooth, so exciting!

Chase's Soccer Season

All smiles!

Chase had a great indoor soccer season this winter.  It was very different than last year, they actually won quite a few games and you could see a lot of the kids grow as players and become a little more aggressive on the field.  Chase loved being able to play again with all of his buddies and a few new ones joined the team too.  Blake and Kevin had a good time coaching as well.  In just a few weeks we start spring soccer outside, I know that Chase can't wait!
