We love you Auntie Ling!

Auntie Ling totally spoiled the boys this Christmas with these beautiful, handmade, wooden truck and fire truck. They loved it. We only wish Auntie Ling could have been here to see them open them! They still play with them everyday, what a great choice! We love you Auntie Ling, you're the greatest.

Colby's Big Boy Bed!!!

I was determined not to even try Colby in a big boy bed but when he broke his crib I didn't have much of a choice. It ended up being no big deal! He does really well, hasn't fallen out yet, and stays in his room even with the door open. Now that he's in his big boy bed I feel like he's so grown up. I told Jason, all we have left is potty training and than college! It's amazing how fast they grow up. Chasey was very excited about Colby's big boy bed too, I could hardly get him out of it! The picture on top is how I found Colby the very first time he took a nap in his new bed, it looked like he was really enjoying himself!

Happy Baby

I just can't get enough of this smile...

Working it Out...

Jason and I started doing P90X workouts, the boys get a kick out of watching us! They want to participate too, here is Chasey doing some pull ups! He is really strong for a little guy!

We love Woody...

It is so fun to watch Colby's little personality emerge. He is quite the affectionate little boy. He has been especially into Buzz and Woody lately (mostly Woody). Here are a few pictures of the friendship he has formed with these characters! As you'll see Woody even has to join us for breakfast with a Juice Plus of his own!

Thanks Rose!

Rose got the boys a way fun tent and tube set from Discovery. The boys have been having a blast with it. And when I say, "boys" I mean all the Weber boys including the biggest one of them all, daddy.

More Tube Fun...

Another big thanks to Rose for our fun tube and tent set. Here are a few more pics...

Daddy's boots

Jason had his first drill weekend, it felt weird to see those camis again! But he sure looked good! Chasey loved seeing Daddy in the uniform too and was especially intrigued by his boots. We let him try them on and he didn't want to get out! We tried to give Colby a turn but Chase cried the entire time! Who would have thought those combat boots would be such a great entertainer for a toddler!

Chasey Bear

Aunt Jan and Uncle Rick got Chasey a bear last Christmas and it has fast become his favorite. It is so cute to see him tote it around with him...

Me and my baby...

I know that Chase is approaching 16 months old and many look at him like a toddler but I still see him as my little baby. He is just such a precious gift from God to me. I am continuously reminded that while I thought I knew what was best for me and our family God knew better and that's why he blessed us with Chasey. Chase is such a different kid than Colby and special in his own and unique ways. Since I never did a 15 month post I will give a few updates on Chasey...
Size: He is now wearing 18 month clothes. I haven't weighed him but I would estimate him to be around 27 or 28 pounds. He has the cutest little Buddha figure with his big round tummy and his bubble buns. Although he is losing a little of his bulk in his legs and is losing those rolls I love so much!
Motor: He is of course walking and running everywhere, he loves to climb in things that aren't meant to be climbed in (ie: the dishwasher, the oven, drawers, the dryer, ect.), he is able to walk up and down stairs (holding on to the banister) - this just amazes me because Colby has just started walking down stairs! Chasey also is able to slide down stairs on his belly faster than I can jog down them, he gets a kick out of that too!
Speech: I am continuously amazed at his speech development. Everyone says it happens quicker with the second baby but it still catches my by surprise. He now says, ball, baba (bottle), nana (banana), mama, dada (he loves to point us out in pictures), uh oh, up, hi, bye bye, and his newest word...bubble (because we have an obsession with Mr. Bubbles at this house!).
Likes: He loves oranges (he calls them balls) and bananas, he also likes lasagna and of course loves his bottles. Despite his rather rotund figure he really doesn't eat that much. He does not like tomatoes or salad. He likes apples but chokes on the peel. He still loves his paci (as you can see in the following pictures) but I'm trying to limit it to naps and bedtime. He has a special bear that he sleeps with and likes to carry around with him. He likes to be held and is especially clingy when I get home from work (something I just love!), he does snuggle but isn't as overtly affectionate as Colby which makes the kisses and snuggles he does pass out extra special! He is OBSESSED with balls, baseball, basketball, soccer balls, he loves balls and points out anything even remotely round as a ball.
Dislikes: He is an easy going baby I really can't think of anything!

Me and my Bubs...

Oh Colby, he is turning into his own little person right before my eyes. He is talking so much now, I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see what he'll say next. Here are a few of the things he's said that made me smile...
"Doc's so wonderful" (referring to Doc from the car movie)
"Oh that poor little guy" (talking about his sippy cup that fell into the laundry basket)
"I lub Woody" (meaning, I love Woody, he is obsessed with his Woody doll from the Pearce's)
"Going to Chasey's house" (when I asked him where he was driving in his car) he will also tell me, "Going to Michael's" which is a place I frequent more than I realized!
He also will point out Khols, Target, Costco, Sam's Club and Coke when he sees the symbol on mail or when we're driving by. This is such a fun age!

Snuggle Time!

We love snuggles (ie: snugs) and kisses at this household and here are a few pictures of just that! I had to laugh when I saw Jason wrapped in my pink blanket, it is one he bought me for Christmas and is super soft and also super girly, complete with the satin trim. It didn't bother him one bit though! Oh how I love my boys...all three of them!

Important phone call...

These pictures crack me up, the first one Colby is talking nicely to whoever it is he's on the phone with, the second one he's glaring at me for invading his private phone call (he knows he's not supposed to play with the phone!)

Colby's Office

Colby created his own little office on our coffee table...

Thank you Pa John and Barbara!

We had the pleasure of seeing Pa John and Barbara on New Year's Day. What a treat! The boys loved spending some quality time with them and of course loved their way fun gifts! Unfortunately we weren't able to see Mike and Karen this holiday season. They were so thoughtful and sent Pa and Barbara with gifts for the boys too (which they loved!). Thank you guys!
