Chase was being quiet for a couple of minutes this afternoon, which is never good. So where did I find him this time? In the clothes dryer (of course!). A little scary, yet pretty funny. I just HAD to grab the camera! When I asked him what he was doing in the dryer, he said, "It’s so warm!" and proceeded to rest his head on the warm pile of clothes. I think he just loves fresh, clean laundry as much as I do!

P.S. I just wanted to take this moment to mention that I am SO GRATEFUL to have a washer and dryer in our house! It was awful to find a place to do laundry when we were in our old apartment, especially when we’d just had Chase! Now I don’t ever take this for granted!

I just wanted to say that I love the movie Enchanted! It’s so clean, creative, fun, and even uplifting. Just remember when you watch it, that it’s MEANT to be a little goofy! Thanks to Rachel for giving us this movie for Pace’s b-day!

Here are Chase and his friend Audrey sitting on the terra cotta turtle in our backyard. They may seem like the best of friends, but they actually have what some may call a love/hate relationship!

Afterwards, they cuddled during a movie (although Chase found it difficult to see the TV while cuddling). Cute!

Don’t be fooled by the cuteness, though. Chase is also a little culprit! Today he succeeded in stealing some ice cream out of the freezer for the hundredth time!!!! If it’s ever quiet in the house, it can be assumed that he’s sneakily sneaking some ice cream. Notice how ashamed he seems in the photos. 😉 But at least he is quite civilized about it; he gets out a bowl and spoon to keep it tidy. It’s frustrating, but even so, I have to stifle a laugh whenever I catch him doing this… But I am not going to buy any more ice cream for a while!

We also went to the BYU Bookstore today (because I haven’t been there in ages), where Chase ripped open a bag of gummy worms and proceeded to devour one. So I ended up having to purchase the bag of gummy worms. Sneaky, sly kid!

He also liked "riding" the wheelbarrow this afternoon!

Here is a superfluous surplus of photos from our outing to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. My little buddy Chase and I went last week with Tiffany and Kyle (thanks for inviting us!). We had good times! I had even more cute photos than this. I have really put the bare minimum on here. :)  I was sad to see that some of the cows were tied up by their mouths. I’m sure it was for some greater cause… but I didn’t take any pictures of that depressing sight. Otherwise, we had lots of fun, and the boys loved riding the real ponies! I couldn’t take photos of that because I was holding Chase steady on the pony.

So anyway, please comment so I will know who our  REAL, faithful, die-hard blog readers are. Because I don’t even know who reads this thing any more, besides some of our family. Which is great too, but, ya know.

I am very happy because I filed our taxes last night! I know it’s not even that early or anything, but I am just glad to have gotten them done and it’s over. Last year this task was on my “To Do” list for a long time, and I really dreaded it. This year, it was actually rather painless! I ordered TurboTax through Brad and Tiffany (thanks so much, guys!) and got it over with the same day in an hour or so! Excellent. Tiffany said that they got an outrageous amount back (I won’t say how much). We aren’t getting any more than usual, but we’re happy with what we’re ending up with anyway! And I know it’s not that exciting because it was ours to begin with, but I just love getting our money back! I’m also excited about the Economic Stimulus Rebate which will come closer to summertime, I believe. Fun stuff!
