Pickup Man
Mommy and daddy have been looking for a car for me since I love to be pushed around and love to drive the car at the doctor's office. But I think I'm more of a pickup truck man like my daddy and well mommy's a truck kind of girl herself too. I think Gramps would approve of this one since it comes with a toolbox and hardhat.

What's in a name?
CHASE ALLEN [LASTNAME]
Chase Allen reflects idealism, the good of mankind. Chase Allen is the humanitarian with the power to make things happen and the integrity to stay the course. A mover and a shaker, without a selfish bone in its body; the name Chase Allen attracts respect, support, and devoted fans. It seems even that the Universe tends to support what the name Chase Allen represents. Speaks to people of all walks of life. Tolerant and broad-minded.
This name pursues goals other than money and power. It seeks justice. It wants to feed the hungry and heal the sick. And yet, the resources it needs to do the job seem to always magically appear.
Chase Allen most positive characteristics: Integrity, love for all, charisma. Encourages the best in people.
Chase Allen most negative characteristics: Naive, seeks fame, vulnerable to criticism, not a good judge of character.
So I wonder do you think this means I'm not going to be a baseball star?

Toy Time
I sat at my new picnic table and got out some of the crafts mommy had made. Ok lets color!
After my quick drink, daddy sat and down and colored with me. I didn't have the heart to tell, but I think he's a little too big to be sitting at my table.
I love all my new toys and can't wait to play with them all the time. Thanks Grandma, Gramps, Uncle Brandon, and of course mommy and daddy!
Party Pics
When I woke up Saturday morning (around 6:30 am) I was really excited 'cause I knew it was the day of my party. I was very hyper and woke up ready to play and sing. Mommy had done alot of decorating already, and had set up the craft table, but I wanted to play so she had to flip it upside down. What a perfect idea mommy, I can use it as a boat!
Oh boy look at all the goodies I got! I got almost everything on my wishlist. I got my very own chair and a big red wagon. And best of all, Uncle Brandon bought me a rocking horse, I shall call him Buckaroo!
Grandma and Gramps showed up and they had bought me a super splash pool and picnic table. How cool is that, I can't wait to invite all my friends over for a pool party. Since it was a water party Gramps set up the pool and we all jumped in. It was great 'cause Saturday was like 100 degrees outside. Mommy and daddy also got me a bubble blower, I love bubbles and what's better than playing with bubbles in the pool?
The pool Gramps bought me had a really cool canopy that you can hook up to the water hose and it rains down on you. Grandma, I don't think its working though, there's not enough air to hold the poles up. Please don't let it crash on me.
After hanging out in the pool for awhile, I was starving. What is it about water and the sun that does that to you? Mommy had a smorgasboard of food for us though. I couldn't wait to dig in. We had authentic fish'n chips in newspaper cones. Mommy even made homemade french fries! There were hushpuppies, goldfish crackers, pretzels, coleslaw, watermelon and 3 different dipping sauces for our fish (or chicken for those that didn't eat fish). It was so yummy!
After lunch it was cake time! Oh boy I love cake! Mommy put on my very own birthday boy hat that her friend from the mc bought for my birthday. Thank you Crissie!
Then mommy brought out the cake she had made by Megan from Sweet Temptations. It was absolutely amazing! It was french vanilla with white chocolate filling and butter cream frosting. And best of all the boat was a rice crispy treat! Awesomeness.
I just get this cupcake? Oh well I haven't ever had a chocolate cupcake yet before, I'll give it a shot.
After the food and cupcake, I was a mess and mommy and grandma decided the best way to clean up would be to hose off. Who am I to oppose that idea, hehe. Hey daddy spray this boat over here.Then daddy thought it'd be funny to let me have control of the hose, haha. Little did he know my plans for it. Come over here daddy.
After everybody got hosed off it was time to come back in. I love snuggling in my towel. Its so coozy and comfy.
After the water fun we all hung out and played with my toys (see Toy Time post). Before I knew it everybody had to go home. I was sad but I was really tired and needed a nap. Mommy had a fun game for getting everybody's goodie bags though. They were supposed to pick out a boat from the pool and match it to the numbered fishin' pole. It was so cool, each goodie bag had candy fish and chocolate coins and toy fish in them.
I had a great birthday party and I'm so glad daddy was there. I really wish papaw, grandma, Aunt Erin, Uncle Boy, Chad, Jeromy, Kelli and my favorite cousin Damon could have come but mommy said they had to stay down in Houston and take care of papaw 'cause even though he's not sick anymore he had to rest. But that's ok because I got the best birthday present of all - papaw is alright!

Singin' & Rockin' Sunday
Grandma also got out a rocking chair of my very own. Mommy says this chair used to be hers when she was a little girl. Gosh that must have been a long time ago.
I really like my new chair though. I can climb in and out of it all by myself. And it rocks back and forth. I thought it was fun to stand up in it but mommy and grandma said I couldn't, they seem to think I'd fall. Booo to them.
Grandma said she's going to keep the chair at their house so that I'll have my own chair whenever I come over. I can't wait to go back to their house and rock in it some more.

Birthday Boy
Mommy was very upset about this and I can understand why, these paper bags take all the fun out of it, they're not very cool looking either. At least the food inside tastes just as yummy, or so I like to think even though I'd never had one before.
On our way back home we stopped at the grocery store for my very own birthday cake. Mommy picked out one that looked delicious and I couldn't wait to dig in.
But mommy made me wait - and then she started singing. Silly mommy don't you know singing is for superstars like me? She sang this silly song about birthdays and thank goodness it was short.
At first I didn't know where to begin, this was much different than my first cupcake experience.
My birthday was so much fun, I only wish daddy could have been here with me. Mommy told me as I was going to sleep tonight that daddy will be home tomorrow and I can't wait. It seems like he's been gone for forever, but it's been less than a week. If all my birthdays are like today I can't wait to have another one.
