Merry Christmas

   Coming down the stairs with Dad wondering what in the world is going on and why we're taking pictures on the way to breakfast   Chase and his new "Lead Tike" (Jon really wanted one as a kid and on his 3rd Birthday, finally got his new "Lead Tike" Chase actually speaks much better than that, maybe         

Also a new scooter which he never figured out, perhaps will be regifted for his birthday   New Books with wheels, Woo Hoo, lets go to church!   Nothing up my sleve, and . . . presto   Cool, a car with a leash and it makes noise, what more could I want?

          The show stopper of the day, a Mack Truck with a back hoe loader   Thank you grandma and grandpa

What in the world is this pink think doing on my truck?   A long standing tradition dating back to the '40s

Happy Holidays

Dad, do you think I'll get beat up much in junior high?   Chase found Mom's reading glasses, we're hoping for medical advances as he grows up   Shades is much cooler   unless you do this, then it is just cute

          A two fisted eater, like father like son (mmm, tastes like chicken)   "Perfect Chase" at Barts PA graduation in Nevada (actually looking at a cute 18 month old across the isle I think)   Bart and his classmates being unleashed upon the medical community

Christmas photo 2008, you know what they say about idle hands   After much attention the nativity center piece survived the holidays . . .   ... with a few applications of krazy glue   again, that idle hands thing

I love to hear the Clauses sing   This doesn't look good, someone's been up to something (2nd cousin Toff)

San Francisco to Visit Julie

Julie's apartment in San Francisco   Chase loved the slippery wood floors . . .   Although the grade sloping toward the couches caused some trouble         

          Insert your own one liner here (Childrens museum in San Francisco)   Chase found his niche, the aquarium   All of thanksgiving weekend we never saw the sun through the fog in Escalon but go to the Bay area and you could see for miles and miles.   . . . and miles and miles and miles

Thanksgiving in California

Biggest hit of the Thanksgiving trip, the cow that blew bubbles   Dave and Linda's dog Hex, a very patient and forgiving canine   Grandpa Dave, A very patient . . .         

          Chase, up way past his bed time   . . . I'm not sure if "UP" is quite the word I should have used there   No better place in the world

This picture explains how Hex's week went   Chase with the Bestest cowboy from Blackfoot, ID, his buddy Liam   Chase showing his musical talents to his dog "Matey" (not a real RCA dog)

Las Vegas Trip

Flew through a storm between Delta and Milford Utah   Although we maintained visual minimums, the pictures turned out pretty good   Finally out through to the other side and clear, smooth air   View of the Stip approaching North Las Vegas Airport over Nellis AFB

Chase's new Pool Buddy, Grandma Baxter   See, I don't have to get all the way in, I can get everybody else wet from right here   Grandma, watch this, it drives Dad crazy when I stand so close to the edge hee hee.         

          Well, after I finish College my plan is to . . .   Mom, look out! Grandpa is jumping in and I'm following suit   Has it been 20 minutes yet? Should I turn over so not to burn?

There's my gum, I thought I'd lost it   Happy to be home with Mom

Flying Fun with Cousin Collin

I need lots of carbs and brain food to keep up with Collin   On the way to the airport already talking cars   Chase was just informed that this is as close to driving a Mercedes Benz he will come in a long, long time          

         All geared up and ready to go. They love flying with Grandpa      And just after lift off, we officially reached nap time

Airports and Airplanes

Chase's new walker is a "Snap-On"   On the hunt for a new, bigger toy   The Airplane tug is a bigger toy, wheels, cables, levers, how fun is that?         

          Jubilant to be in the clouds at 12,000 feet   Chase found another one of those "Snap-On" walkers   CHASE EDward living up to his name being chased around by Mom

Fun with Grandpa

At the newly renovated Utah State Capito with Grandpa Davel   Here Grandpa, let me show you all of the stuff I have that has wheels   Oh, so that is what that is for         

       That shaggy, mullet look can only mean one thing, haircut time   A Mirror, Gadgets and the Wiggles on the TV, this is the good life
