Great Saturday

Well, it’s been a very eventful Saturday, it was absoultely beautiful here in Provo. Yesterday, we setup a new queen sized bed that we inherited from the late Uncle Don (on Joy’s side). Today, Darin and I hit the golf course area to practice our chipping and putting (that’s free), Chase had his first bath (video MPEG 7MB), and he loved it, excpet when it was time to get out. And our offer to buy Amy and Mike’s townhome was accepted! Woo hoo. We are very excited to get all the paper work done and be investing in real estate. We feel it’s a great place to put our efforts. So all and all it’s been a great weekend. We are excited for all the family fun coming up in the next week. Love ya’ll have a great sabath. PS For those of you who wish there were more pictures of Chase to see, there are now.

WORD = WHISTERPOOP
Balderdash rules (for those who’ve never played): “The main objective is to make up answers that will bluff other players, as well as for choosing the real and often unbelievable answer. ONE per person. NO SEARCH ENGINES!

WORDS- What is the definition?

PEOPLE – What is the person known for?

INITIALS- What do they stand for?

MOVIES- What is this movie about?

DATES- What happend on this day?”

Friendly Reminder

This Tuesday is a great day, it’s free cone day at Ben and Jerry’s. Starting at noon, all the ice cream you can eat for free, as long as the line is short. So it would be a great idea for families and friends, employees and employers (hint hint) to go to Ben & Jerry’s as often as possible on Tuesday! Have fun and don’t get fat!

Chase update: He’s doing great.

Church

This is just another story to express how some people are losing their minds. Today i was woken up by my mom, telling me I needed to get ready for church. My dad had already left to go speak in another ward. So trusting my mothers decision, i got up and got ready for church in 15 minutes. I then went down and read the comics, had two bowls of cereal, then my mom was ready to go. We drive up to church and I go in, since i needed to prepare the sacrement and all, while my mom checked her hair, did some last minute things in the car mirror before going in. I get into church to find people i didnt know sitting in the lobby, I quickly looked in the chapel door to see the other ward still having sacrement meeting. I was shocked. Could they have gone this late? I took out my cell phone looking at the time realizing it was ten o clock, which jarred my memory.. Doesnt our ward start at eleven? I went back outside and told my mom who was just now ready to come in, and we laughed about it, she told me she was losing her mind, and we drove home. I then took the time to write this. It was quite an odd experiance.

More photos

For those of you proud great/grandparents/friends out there who want to make mouse pads, desktops, calendars, etc., you can download high-resolution picts now. Plus we added a few more. Thanks for all the support and love. We’re excited to report that Chase lost his belly button chunk yesterday and he is drinking milk now. He’s very mellow, lets hope that continues through his teenage years!

Momma T arrives

We are very happy to have Momma T here. She arrived last night and I had the best night of sleep since Chase arrived. Didn’t hear Chase one time! I realized how true the saying is that it takes a village to raise a kid. It sure is a lot more comfortable having someone who knows tricks of the trade around. Thanks Momma T!

New Video

A new video on the day Chase entered mortality is available to view, it captures moments of the past weekend as Chase was delivered and brought home. There are two versions, a broadband .WMV at 40MB and a dialup .MOV version at 2MB. Enjoy and if you’re scared of the medical lingo in the audio, then turn off your speakers.

Otherwise, Joy is healing and doing well, and Chase is doing great. He had his first poop since he’s been home. We are proud. We’ve had lots of visitors and wanted to thank everyone who has taken time to hold him for us. Thank you!

Love ya’ll

UPDATE: It was just too cute today when Chase said hello, here it is for all ya’ll to enjoy. This one is 10MB .MPG so will play in either windows media player or quicktime (Just for you McGrandpa)

Chase James McCulloch

Wow, thanks Ty! That is awesome, I’m gone for a day in the hospital and my lil bro covers everything perfectly. Man I have great bros. Yes Tyler is right, he was born in under four hours (arrived at hospital around 7:15AM and Chase was born at 10:42 AM), 7 pounds five ounces, 19 plus inches, and healthier than a McCulloch. We are SO proud and very excited, we are very open to visitors if you are in the area, but we hope to be discharged by noon tom (Sat). I’m just writing this real fast while home on a pit stop before I go back for the night. Also there are some pictures posted for those not in the area at our McPhotos page b/c that’s what I had setup and I don’t want to take the time to make it look great. There is also short video of Chase blinking and stuff (no time to make it streaming so you’ll download it and it will play with quicktime or windows media player, 6.0MB). Enjoy, love you all.

UPDATE! We are back home now, and are getting settled in. Joy has dressed Chase in cute baby clothes that we recieved as gifts and trying to nap. If you would like to stop by give Joy a call to see if it’s a good time. Pace is going to upload more pictures and video soon, stay tuned long distance Chase fans! Love ya’ll

As for birthday guesses, Cotton and Becky won. They both guessed Friday the 14th. However cotton guessed Late friday, so he gets 1st and a half place.
