March...Easter Week

Happy Easter from the Case Family! God is so faithful in what He has done for us!

The bond of cousins.

Little Man and his Momma.

He is risen! Easter morning we looked in the tomb, but there was only an empty cloth and an angel outside. The stone was rolled away!


This was the Easter Advent we did with Shelby (many of you followed along in email). Shelby was looking forward to putting Jesus on the cross all week.

Easter week started out with a snowy Palm Sunday...only in California could we have snow on Palm Sunday and 80 degree weather on Easter!

February...I couldn't resist

I've never posted a video on here before so I thought I'd try. This is JD, after refusing to sleep all day at Disneyland. He sure was determined to fight it, as you'll see.

February Fun

Got milk?

I'm telling you, this kid is all about cars!

Hot Rod Built for Two
This is Bella, one of the few girls pre-approved to marry our boy.

Girls' Tea Party

What could be better than getting dizzy with your bestest girlfriends?

Sunny and Natty, we love you! Wish you lived closer and we could have tea parties every day!

January Hair

Daddy is ready for Jason to copy his hair styling techniques.

Mommy is not quite there yet, but JD seemed to like it!

January...Disney Days

We are once again a family of Pass holders... Jason was very curious about the big furry paw on Mommy's shoulder.

She's still our sweet little Minnie... sometimes it's hard to get her to take the ears off when we're no longer at Disneyland.

"Okay, Dad, you'd don't have to hold on to me...I've got this ride thing down!"

January--All Dressed Up...

...and somewhere to go! We went to Wicked and had a nice evening out on the town.

January Snow Day

Snow Bunny

Okay, so we thought snow would be good in the local mountains. We drove and only found patches. It was quite pathetic really, but the kids had fun playing in the snow-- Jason eating it, of course, and Shelby throwing snowballs at Daddy.

Christmas

The handsome men of the Case family.

Shelby's first "Happy Birthday Jesus Cake" that she decorated.


Christmas morning in our Christmas jammies.



"Do I get in it? Do I put stuff in it? Or do I take stuff out of it?"
JD didn't really get the whole stocking thing.

Bug's first bike. She got good at riding around the dining room right away!

"Is the gift giving over?" It's really NOT about the gifts!

But the kids sure get plenty of them.

Like good parents we took the kids out to break in their new rides.

Like bad parents, we forgot to bundle them warmly enough and

it was way too cold to stay out there for long!

Family Vacation

For our vacation this year we went to San Diego in the middle of December. As if the holiday season wasn't busy enough! It was the perfect time of year to be down there though, and the weather was perfect. We had a great time with the kids. We were really able to enjoy our time as a family of four.

Sea World was what Shelby was looking forward to and she really enjoyed it. It's the "little mermaid" side of her.

Shelby-shu "bravely" held the sea stars. We couldn't get her to touch the bat rays or dolphins or even sea urchins. She was so proud of herself for holding the sea star that she made us go back before we left so she could prove herself to us once again.

On JD's official birthday we just laid low to give the kids a chance to rest. This is my healthy pot-belly boy turning one!

"HALLELUIA! Thank the Lord for ice cream!"

Jason enjoyed the zoo. He liked to scream excitedly at all the animals.

Up close and personal with a polar bear!

Daddy and Jason watching the sea lion show.

We ended our vacation at the USS Midway, otherwise known as "Poppi's ship." Shelby was quite disappointed when she realized Poppi wouldn't actually be there, but we were able to find his squadron's plane.

JD's Popo Birthday Party

When he opened a present that he liked, JD would squeal in delight. Notice the P3 (training officer) stripes on his sleeves. Just like his daddy.

As if December weren't crazy enough, we did celebrate JD's first birthday this month (in the future he will have to wait until January!). We had a Police theme and Auntie Steph made this wonderful cake.

Can he be One Year already?!

My sweet girl!

I can't believe JD turns one this month! Hallie came through again and I had a hard time deciding what to post. These show his personality the most...especially with his beloved blanky.

November 2007

Thanksgiving found us with the Case family in Shaver Lake.

No surprise that Jason loved this holiday full of yummy food.

We stayed in an adorable little bed and breakfast...warm and cozy.

Fall fun means OU football in this family. What good little fans!

Halloween, I mean "Fall Festival"

This is no different than a typical day for Shelby, as she loves to dress up. This time I actually curled her hair so she was definitely feeling the part, and was so dainty and proud. Boo Boo was a cute little Tigger, but it really made no difference in his day. The highlight, however, was when Daddy wasn't watching and he managed to eat half a candy bar (too bad there is no picture proof of that one)!

October

For Cubbies we had a Heroes Night. Shelby was Queen Esther and Mommy was a PoPo.
Our little escaped convict. At least he is a good eater!

Fall fun at a local pumpkin patch. Drew and Shelby enjoyed the bounce house and super-high slide.
