Dad Life
You know, there are definitely times that i think, "I wonder what life would have been like had Ashley and I chosen to not have kids so soon after getting married." And then, I get to play with Seth and see just how amazingly wonderful he is. Love it. Ashley and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful son. I have to say that I have truly learned to love family life and I really enjoy being a dad. I think I do a pretty good job at being a dad too. I make mistakes here and there, but overall I feel like Ashley and I have been really good parents. Well, Ash just showed me this video and I want to pass it along. This is an awesome video that explains the wonderful life that is dad life:

Seth's Spontaneous Cuteness
Seth does something new every day that is just so incredibly cute, so I thought I would post a few of them on here. I can't believe I am lucky enough to stay home and see all of these precious little moments.
The other day I gave him Mac and Cheese for lunch, which I don't do too often but he loves it. He was so excited to eat it that he ditched the fork and started licking it off the tray. I got a good video of it, and will upload it if I remember.
Jason has a weight bench down stairs and a stereo. There isn't much else in that room. I went to do the laundry in the basement and Seth always comes with me. He loves playing down there. I heard the stereo turn on in the weight room and heard Seth playing with the dials. Then the music stayed on one song for a while. I thought he was pretty smart just to figure out how to dial in a song on the radio! When I went to check on him he grabbed my hand and pulled me over in front of the stereo and started dancing. It was the best dance party I've ever been to! We boogied for quite a while.
Seth was standing on his little step stool looking out the window at the rain and wind the other day. His foot slipped off the side but he caught himself. It scared him even though he wasn't hurt, so he started whimpering. When I asked him if he wanted a hug from mama, he stopped whimpering, looked at me for a second, and then put his hand to the side of his head and said, "Oh no!" Needless to say, I didn't hug him right then. Lol!
Seth has a dog that plays music. He was pushing the buttons to play the music so I started making the doggy dance to the music. He ran to his closet, picked out another of his doggy stuffed animals (the biggest one of course), and then came back and sat down. He started the music with the first doggy, and then made his doggy dance while I made mine dance. We had a dancing doggy party.
I was at the park with my two friends. The one friend has an 11 month old boy and the other one has a 19 month old girl. The little girl had brought her ball and the little boy, who can barely walk, was standing in front of it. Seth automatically ran over and kicked the ball away from him and then started looking for some type of goal to kick it in to. Can you tell we have been watching/playing soccer with him?
When you ask Seth what a baby says, or if he sees a baby, he points to it and says, "Goo goo gaa gaa!" There was a 3 year old boy in a store the other day sucking on a binkie. They came down our same aisle and Seth runs over to him, points and clear as day yells, "Goo goo gaa gaa!" It was pretty embarrassing. Lol!
That is just a very small sampling of the cute things Seth is coming up with every day. He's so smart and makes me laugh constantly. I'm so glad I have my cute little family. My two boys (yes Jason, I just called you a "boy"...) are such a blessing in my life.
So share some of the amazing things your kids are doing lately that makes you laugh! I love hearing funny little kid stories!

Pipes Game - Version 3.0
So I'm pretty close to having fully playable game. I added some big things in version 3. Here are the new upgrades:
This is a free Flash game built in Flex for the AIR Framework. Clicking install will install the app as well as the AIR framework if you do not already have it.
Thanks,
Jason Case
- Tracks High Scores
- Allows you to enter a username to associate with the scores
- Allows you to play in 4 different skill levels, Beginner, Novice, Advanced, and Expert
- Added a menu which will let you start a new game, view high scores, or exit the game
I think that's it. My next goal will be to either add additional game play modes, or I will add internet connectivity so we can have global high scores as well as local scores. This way you could compete against the world of pipes users. Which would you prefer me to work on next? More game play modes so you can play more than the standard "beat this level in 25 turns" game, or internet connectivity?

Updated pipes game
So I took several suggestions from all of you and I have made the following updates:
- There is now a restriction of 25 turns to advance to the next level
- If you click the same color twice in a row, it will only increment one turn
I will be looking to add other game options next, as well as a menu that allows you to see high scores in different categories. So go ahead and install version 2.2 nd please let me know what you think.

Pipes Game
So I told you all that I was making a game. Well here is version 1.0. It is a basic straightforward game where you select colors to connect to your main pipes that start in the top left corner. The goal is to fill the screen with a single color of pipes. You will then move on to another level. You'll gain points as you increase the size of your pipe set. The larger the group of pipes changed in any turn, the larger the amount of points you will receive.
Please let me know if you run into any bugs so i can fix them. Also, please offer any feedback or suggestions that you have. I want to make it better. I plan to add other game play to it. I plan to add mini games wher eyou can see how many levels you can make it through while only having 25 turns (or so), a game where you have 100 total turns and you see how many points/levels you can earn, and one where you get 50 levels, then 49, then 48, and you see how many levels you can pass.
Click install now below to play. Have fun. And let me know if you have any ideas for this game or for another game. Just in case you were wondering. This game is built in Flex and packaged for AIR. This means that I could turn this into a web application as well. If you would prefer to play online and not on your desktop, then let me know. I may consider modifying the game and hosting it on jasoncase.com...

Daw's and Guk's: Part 2
So I am revealing the answers to our oh-so-important game that we are playing. I'll let you know who got it right also, because I was incredibly impressed with some people's excellent guesses!
1 daw = dog
Josh!!!
2 guk = duck
Jared!!!
3 ko = go
Zach, Holly and Ben (heretofore known as ZHB), Mary Jane, Jared
4 ti = tree
5 dada = dad
ZHB, Mary Jane, Zac, Jared, Josh
6 mama = mom
ZHB, Mary Jane, Zac, Josh
7 mow = more
Mary Jane, Zac, Josh
8 car = car (car, toes, and uh oh are his clearest words for sure, even more so than
dada or mama.)
ZHB, Zac, Jared, Josh
9 dow = door
Jared, Josh
10 izit = is it? (this means "where is it?")
ZHB, Zac, Jared, Josh
11 izdis = is this? (this means "what is this?")
ZHB, Zac, Jared, Josh
12 shuss = shoes
ZHB!!!
13 s, s = sippy (I don't know why he won't say this more clearly, but a couple S
sounds always means "sippy".)
14 awbo = apple
Jared!!!
15 or = orange
ZHB, Jared, Josh
16 nana = banana
ZHB, Mary Jane, Zac, Jared, Josh
17 uhoh = uh oh (he knows what it means, but uses it in the middle of his
sentences. For example, "unga a nedel a bu UH OH bu an do a da." Funny Kid!)
ZHB, Zac, Jared, Josh
18 a, ga-a = I got it! (In the grocery store he takes the shopping list and yells
"a, ga-a!" He loves that game.)
ZHB!!!
19 saw = sock
Josh!!!
20 teeseez = teethies (He means teeth. He loves brushing his teeth.)
21 jees = jesus
Mary Jane!!!
22 baau = ball
23 choo choo = choo choo train (His latest obsession.)
Mary Jane!!!
24 dat = that
Mary Jane!!!
25 issa_____ = it’s a ______
26 ub = up
27 shu = shirt
28 ais = eyes
29 nos = nose
30 toes = toes
31 bobow = bubbles
32 uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh = I don’t know, but he says this all the time and
thinks I should know what that means. Lol!
He says a lot more words, like this, no no, and fishies. He started out only saying cheese for a camera which a two year old girl taught him that I tended for a while. Now he's starting to make the connection with actual cheese though. I just thought I'd give you guys a little taste in to how my linguist skills are coming in handy. I promise I have to translate EVERY DAY! Lol!
