Happy 3rd Birthday, Chase!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Chase-Man! It has been an amazing three years and we can't get over how big and smart our little guy is becoming. He has a crazy strong memory and a matching personality. Full of love and energy (and strong will to get his way), Chase fills our lives with laughter every day.

His birthday started bright and early at 5:30am. We waited for the doughnut shop to open at 6:00 and then I took him for breakfast while Shane stayed with Ethan (who was still sleeping). I put a candle in his doughnut holes and the two ladies working and I sang "Happy Birthday" to Chase.

Once Ethan woke up, we gave Chase his birthday present from us, MawMaw & Pops, Mammie & PawPaw, Uncle Sean & the Straughan Crew....a motorized golf cart. To say Chase loved it is an understatement. He was so excited and drove it all morning long. Shane and I have to jog to keep up with him, so it ended up being quite a little workout.

We also had a nice visit from Shane's brother's family driving through from Dallas on their way to Destin. Uncle Scott, Aunt Angie, Max & Evan were able to wish Chase a Happy Birthday and meet Ethan for the first time. Chase had a blast wrestling with his older cousin Max.

Chase took a quick nap and then we went to his birthday party at the Mandeville Sports Arena. Chase was sweating within the first 10 minutes. He was busy having so much fun that he didn't eat any pizza, cake or ice cream.

We're so glad that Chase had a wonderful birthday and thank God every night for putting this little guy in our lives. What a sweet boy we have been blessed with! Happy Birthday, Sweet Pea!

P.S. All the extra paragraphs are just for you, Uncle Scott!

What a special day for Chase, and for you and Shane as parents. It is such a blessing to be a parent. I feel so fortunate all the time that God chose me to be Sims' mom. Happy Birthday Chase!
