Chase Baby Pics...

Chase is growing and changing by the day. He is getting so much personality....

I just had to include this picture. I am very thankful that I've been able to nurse my kids. There is something so special about the way that your child looks at you while you're feeding him, words can't even describe. Here is a special note to you Jana...just look at what you get to look forward to! Being a mom is such a blessing!

Favorite things...

Colby finds such weird objects that interest him. He dug these out of Bob's kitchen drawer and has played with them for weeks. It's a little wooden spoon, a tea thing and a measuring cup and he only likes to play with them together. What would have made him think to put those things together? Who knows! I love to watch the way a toddler's mind works.

Adventures in Nursery...

Since we've been home our weekends have been really hectic, between working and getting over colds we have missed a lot of church. We went to church with Bob a few weeks ago and Colby did fine in nursery but I wasn't brave enough to leave Chase in nursery. Needless to say, we didn't learn a whole lot at church that day because Chase had so much to do and say during the service. This week I decided to drop them both off in nursery. Chase didn't seem to mind one bit, it was definitely harder on me than it was on him! Here are a few pictures from when we picked him up...

I missed that little boy so much! I had to give him lots of kisses when I picked him up.

Colby on the other hand...

didn't much care for nursery at all. Poor little guy, he is so shy and timid I should have known it would go this way. Apparently he was upset the whole time. The took him for a stroller ride, which he enjoyed, but as the service was about to end they brought him back to the room and this was the result.

You can see he was still holding on to his cracker despite his obvious state of distress...
ahhhh, priorities!

Where it all began...

I was the first one out of my family to attend Chaparral and since I've been there, my cousin on my dad's side (Brittany) and my cousins on my mom's side (Sandi and Nikki) have gone there too. Now my cousin Nikki is finishing up her senior year and I couldn't be more proud of her. She had a cheerleading performance before her team headed of to nationals and I was lucky enough to get to see it. It was so weird to watch her perform, it feels like just yesterday that I was cheering at Chaparral and she was one of my 'students' at our mini-cheer camp.
Time sure does fly!

Me, Chase baby and Nikki

Nikki doing a backhandspring so I could test out my camera's shutter speed...I just love this picture of her. Her hair looks so cute! What an action shot!
Jason also went to Chaparral. We knew each other throughout but didn't start dating until our senior year. At homecoming we both went with other people but ended up dancing together (in the same place this picture was taken), who would have thought those moments would lead up to this one...and now we're a family of four!
Colby had to show off his walking skills to all the pretty cheerleaders...

House Hunting...

The house hunting has been going on since we moved back in December but now that Jason has a job we have really picked up the pace. It has been frustrating and exciting. Here are a few of the highlights...

Here is my favorite house...

View from family room

Amazing kitchen!

Back patio, needs some stain but the covered deck is nice

The spectacular family room, the windows overlook Castlewood Canyon

Lots of brick! (something a mason's granddaughter can really appreciate!)

The only drawback to this house is it backs up to power lines... :(
We love this floorplan but Jason did not like the quality of construction on this particular house. We found the same model in Parker and wrote an offer but it was too late because it was already under contract. The search continues!

Here is Jason's favorite house...


My favorite feature of this home is the incredible laundry room...

Built in shelving

laundry room continued, complete with a window and a sink!

The upstairs bathroom, two sinks for two boys!

The upstairs...

The master bath

The family room (the only part of the house I'm not crazy about)

The gourmet kitchen, with a double oven, gas burning stove and granite countertops

The mainfloor study

Here are the boys reactions to the homes...

Colby running around like a wild man...

Being a goofball...

Cool dude, Chase

Colby and Sandi (she helped with the boys while we were looking)

We wrote an offer on Jason's favorite house. We probably won't hear anything until next week. House hunting is such an emotional roller coaster ride! I'll keep you posted!

Superbowl!

Brotherly Love

I was trying to get a video of Chase rolling over and while I was able to capture that I was also able to get a classic example of a Colby and Chase interaction. Colby is always so kind to Chase,
we are so blessed!

Best seat in the house...

The boys were so good on Sunday and, with some help from Daniel, Jason was actually able to watch some football. We decided to bust out the bumbo for Chase to sit in, he loved watching football (of course this only lasted a few minutes because I HATE letting babies watch TV). He sure did look cute though. His little round body barely fit into that thing!I know the Broncos weren't even playing, he just had to sport his super cute NFL outfit...

Now this bumbo looked like so much fun that Colby wanted to have a try, he almost fit in it better than Chase and he actually sat still for a few minutes...

You can see how into the game he was getting...Here he is chillin' in the bumbo like a big kid, watching the Super Bowl...

Day of firsts...

Not only did we have the entertainment of watching the football game but the Weber boys put on quite a show...it was the first time Colby got up to a standing position without pulling himself up on something (he did it once before when Jason was watching him but this was the first time I've seen him do it)...

Get Ready...

Get set...Here he...

GOES!!!
Despite his awkward position he actually was able to get his balance and stand. He thinks it is such a fun game and starts to giggle when he even begins to think about standing up. I know this is something he should have done months ago but he did it in Colby time and in Colby style (since not too many babies start standing from a knee).

Chase baby also had a HUGE accomplishment today...he rolled over!!! I couldn't believe my eyes (after all, Colby waited until he was 6 months to roll from tummy to back and 9 to roll the other direction). Chase rolled his little body from back to tummy and has done it several times since than. I am working on getting the video uploaded to the blog so stay posted!

Fun with Dan Dan
