Breakfast at Bama's...

Jason's mom works at the Egg and I, a really good breakfast restaurant. We try to go there once every couple of weeks to visit her and the boys love the food...

Dinner with the Weber side of the family...

Unc and Grandma Diane (or "Bama" as Colby calls her) and Grandma Peggy came over for dinner. Colby ADORES Unc, I don't know what Garret did to get Colby to start his fan club but Colby is crazy about him...

Grandma totally spoils Colby, here he is getting away with picking out all of his own chips (out of the bag!) and dipping them in salsa...

After dinner it was bath time. Here is Chase helping me pick out jammies...

Grandma came to help me give the boys a bath, they love her and find her so entertaining!

After the bath I was taking some pictures of Chasey because he was being so cute with the mirror, I started noticing some red welts on him...

Right before my eyes they got worse and worse and his skin became really hot to the touch...

As you can see it didn't bother him at all...

Than the red spots began to raise up and I knew they were hives...

I called the doctor and by talking to him I was able to figure out it was the cleaner that was used in the bathtub. I gave him some benadryl and they went away. Phew! Of course, while I was on the phone with the doctor Colby started peeing on his bookshelf! Our house is never without adventure!!!

After that excitement we came downstairs to play for a little while...

Colby found Chasey's paci and thought he was being a funny guy by trying to put it in his mouth (he has no clue what to do with it, what a goofball!)

Chasey spent the rest of the evening snuggling with Grandma...

Family Day at the Park...

We took the boys to the park and they had a GREAT time! It will be more fun for Chase once he can walk but overall I think they both had a good time...

Here are the boys on the swings...

Colby LOVES the big boy slide, this is his very excited expression...

Here he is calling, "mama!" and "Chasey!" because he wanted us to go down the slide too!

Eventhough Colby is almost two he is still not very confident about going up and down stairs, he doesn't even attempt to walk up them...until today. Something about this staircase gave him the confidence and he walked up the stairs all by himself!

...followed by Chasey, that little baby is fearless!

Colby is CRAZY about slides...

Chasey is content for now on the swings...

The unstopable Chasey...

Chase is such a more mobile baby than Colby was. It has been really hard for me to get used to. He loves to be near me and enjoys being held but when he's ready to get down he'll throw himself towards the floor, sometimes it's like a wrestling match! He loves exploring his world as long as Jason and I are nearby...

Here is our little stairmaster...

He loved playing with his old booster seat, who would have thought?

This is why we can't just prop up some toys to keep Chase out of certain areas, it worked with Colby but Chase doesn't see obstacles, he sees adventures!

Cool new high chairs...

Colby's booster seat was recalled so we decided to get rid of the cheapies and get some really fun booster seats. I just love these ones, the boys look like they're on a roller coaster with their feet dangling. They like them too! They are canvas material but I can just unsnap it and throw it in the washing machine! You know you're a mom when you get this excited over a booster seat!

A Quiet Moment...

Things have been so hectic at our house lately that I have been cherishing those few quiet moments. The other day Chasey just couldn't fall asleep in his crib so I picked him up and snuggled him for awhile. Sometimes I get so busy and take time for granted, I forget that he is still just a baby. I am trying to make the most of these special times and hold them in my heart on days when things aren't quite so quiet :)

Yummy Pasta!

Pasta is a favorite meal at my house, here are a few pictures of the boys enjoying it to the fullest! You'll also be able to notice why every dinner meal involves both kids
being stripped down to diapers!

My little wild man...

Chase is into everything now and is completely mobile. Now that he climbs up the stairs nothing is safe anymore. The other night when I came home from work I was packing my lunch and discovered another skill he has...opening the cabinet doors and climbing right in!

Learning to share...

Chase is starting to become a little toddler which means he is getting in on some of Colby's toy action. Here he was invading Colby's space a bit with the car but Colby actually didn't mind. They played together so nicely! I am so blessed!!!

Here is Chasey pushing Colby

Than Chase climbed in with Colby...

You can see Chase's big smile through his paci...

My little chef

Chasey has discovered the fun of playing with pots and pans. HE loves this aluminum bowl with the stainless steel spoon to make lots of noise!
Here he is tasting his creation...

A little stirring...

and a big smile...

A few days later Colby had to get in on the action...Here Colby is givine Chasey's bowl a little stir, what a good big brother!

Let the birthday celebrations begin...

In the next two months three members of the Weber family will be having birthdays. I celebrated mine with a new patio, going out to lunch with Jason, a little shopping with Sandi and a nice dinner at my parent's house...

Colby loves it when we sing, 'Happy Birthday' (my mom was so cute, she didn't have enough candles so she made "roman numeral" numbers - it's backwards in the picture because the cake was facing me but you get the idea)

The Patio Project...

Our family loves being outside so much we decided to invest in a patio for our backyard. It's still a work in progress...we've had a gas line laid and my Uncle Butch is going to put in a firepit and sitting wall. Here is how it looks so far...

We did the boy's footprints and handprints in the path from the driveway to the backyard....

Colby LOVED the cement truck, you can see he has his little
toy cement truck sitting next to him...

Before...

After...

Before...

After (this was before they put the color down, it's a really pretty tan/dark brown shiny color)...

The firepit will go on the far corner, as you can see our actual yard still needs LOTS of work...but, it's a work in progress.
We love it and know we will spend many hours outside enjoying it!
