And away we go.....

So it has been awhile since I have updated my blog and since Chance is sleeping I thought this would be a good time. Me & Evan are about to celebrate our 9 year anniversary this weekend, which is insane, but also very cool. We have been through so much together, both good and bad, but we have made it this far. Sometimes it seems so crazy to me that I am only 27 and married 9 years but in other aspects it makes a lot of sense. He is such a great man and fantastic dad. I could not have asked for anything better in the person I chose to spend my life with. We are also very lucky to have such an awesome son. Even though it has been 17 months it still feels so surreal to see this little person walking around our home. He brings so much light into our lives. We are truly blessed.

I cannot believe that our little man is 17 months old. It really seems like it was just last week we found out we were even having a baby. So crazy. He has so much energy and his personality is amazing. He has the greatest sense of humor also. There are times when he finds something funny and he will hit the floor and cover his eyes while he laughs, it is the cutest thing I have ever seen. He also has a little temper, if he is unhappy about something he will be sure to let you know. Sometimes he throws tantrums that are so funny I have to leave the room so I can laugh because we do not want him to think it is okay to act like that.
He is also at the age where he has learned "hi", which means he goes to the dogs or people he does not know and waves while he says "hi" in this cute little baby voice. It is so funny! I am hoping to catch him one time on video so we can save it for when he is older. I know I may regret this but I cannot wait to actually hear him talk. I can only imagine the kinds of outrageous things he is going to say. I am sure after a week I will want him to be at the age where he could not talk but for now I want to have cute conversations with him.
There are so many cute things he does that I could take about 6 hours just writing them all down but I will not bore you.

We are very lucky in our lives right now to have such a great family. No matter how hard the times get I know I will always have my family that will stick by us.

Here are some pictures of the little one I thought you would enjoy. Most of them were taken by Aunt Tina at Christmas since we were in charge of recording video of him. She always takes the best pictures anyway.




Chance loves bath time!!





Me & my little man. He was so tired after opening all of his presents.





These two are so cute together.





Chance made out pretty good. I think 4 or 5 of these are for me and Evan. LOL!





This is a turtle that his Uncle Eric & Aunt Tina got while in California. Chance gave it a big hug. It was a hit!
