i know, i know...

hi everyone! this is chase writing... mom finally let me on the computer to do a few things, you know watch youtube videos of firetrucks, browse amazon for toys and most importantly update this thing called the blog. it has been quite awhile since you have seen any pictures and heard about what we have been up to. most importantly, i turned 3 in september. mom thinks me turning three has been harder than me turning 2, which i can agree with. i may have gotten some stubborness from her and i am not afraid to show it! but really, mom says i am growing way to fast and grandma says that i am talking better everytime she sees me. i really love firetrucks these days and the fireman suit that daddy got me for my birthday is super cool. mom even found something called 'snow boots' that i can put on to look like fireman boots! good thing i got those from my cousins, landon and simon!

you may want to hear about what riley has been up to too. well he is not only walking, but running circles around us. no really, he loves to be chased in a circle around our house. he is getting quite fast. he is even faster when mommy or daddy holds him on my shoulders so i can run around the house with him. he loves it! he has quite a fun personality that we all like to watch. he knows what he wants and lets us know! he is 17 months old now and can obey instructions quite well. i am not sure if  i did that so well when i was my age. he must've learned that from watching me... well sometimes.

i hope you enjoy these pictures! you can now see how big we are getting and how different we look from eachother! :)
