Congrats Mike On Another Marathon!

Yesterday Mike & Dave ran the Las Vegas Marathon. True to their style, they both killed it without putting much effort into their training. So proud of Dave for completing his very first marathon in under 4 hours....not an easy achievement, I promise! The night before we attended the annual Pulliam Christmas Party...thank you Ryan & Stephine for opening up your home for a good cause, it was a great night!

Boys on the move!

Baby Skylar wonders why she is out of the house so dang early... Chase isn't so sure about the early morning activities either...

But once Erin started taking pictures of him he cheered right up!

Chase suffers in the glaring sun so mom can get a picture...

Chase grips his bottle...the happiest time of his night!

Putting the kid to work early with Reindeer assembly...Chase showed us that it is much more fun to disassemble the reindeer! Chase illustrates that there is a fine line between standing and surfing...

Catchup!

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving at Dad and Elizabeth's. Once again, Elizabeth outdid herself with a wonderful Turkey spread. Although it was Chase's 2nd Thanksgiving, it was his first time enjoying the freshly cooked bird. He had fun playing with the fam and eating (sweet potatoes especially)!Lady and the ????

We went to breakfast with Great Grandma Ann - I think we know where the blond may be coming from!

Rigley has finally found a way to bond with Chase. She has taught him how to play fetch!

Straws are a man's best friend.

Night out with friends to celebrate Nic's new Director of Marketing job at Tao - congrats Nic!

Look ma, I got milk!

Chase's Semi Happy Pictures...

Well, our Christmas pictures have arrived. I'm telling you that for such a happy little kid, he sure was not in the mood to crack even the slightest smile. I'm thinking that for future reference, re-scheduling is the way to go. Poor guy just wasn't feeling it. And to think, I was worried about Mike being the non-smiling, foul-mood one as I had taken him away from his beloved Sunday Football. I'm going to have to have a little talk with Chase about being on his game, football or no football!

The blogging blahs...

OK, I am behind...really behind...on posting. So unlike me! But to be honest, I haven't taken many pictures and have been so busy enjoying the weather that Las Vegas calls "fall" that I have just simply slacked. I did get a chance to take some fun fall pictures of the Pulliams. They are so photogenic and we had a fun time! I'll get to regular blogging soon...I promise!

Pictures of Pictures?

Today we had a photo session with Hilary Helton, a photographer whom I think does amazing work. She shoots in all film so I won't have previews until we see the final product but you can see her work here. Chase has been teething SO hard this week so my fingers are crossed that Hilary was able to capture bits and pieces of his normally very happy little self. In the meantime, I took a few of my own pictures while we were waiting....

We shot at Anthem CC - thanks Aunt Sal & Uncle Bruce for providing the killer background!My two boys...

As if one itsy bitsy smile would have killed him!

Checking out the ducks was definitely the highlight of Chase's day...
