Christmas...A little late!

I just wanted to give a little update of our Christmas holiday! Chris and I flew out to FL on the 21st to spend the holiday with my family! Chase did great on the plane and has been spoiled rotten ever since we got here. We have spent lots of time talking, eating, and well eating.... My dad says he has never seen me have such a hardy appetite. It was a great Christmas with the family and we had so much fun spending time together and meeting Baby Carter. The only thing that was really missing from this Christmas was our sweet little Grandma!

Here are a few pictures from the holiday... ENJOY!

Merry Christmas!
Yummy, Yummy!

Also for this holiday we have had lots of fun hanging out and visiting with friends. Chase got invited to his first birthday party. He got to hang out with all the kids and even got to pull the string on the pinata. It was a lot of fun and the kids were wore out at the end!

Still more news....

Yesterday Chase had his 6 month appointment! It went great considering that he had to get the nasty shots. The doctor was very impressed with him and said that he is advanced for how well, he is sitting up and where he is at in trying to crawl. Of course Chase put on a great show of bouncing up and down while sitting, and trying to sit up every time the doctor tried to lay him down. If you haven't noticed I have my hands full already with this little guy! He grabbed the doctors stethoscope with his death grip and pulled it right off his neck and made a lot of rips in the paper that he should have been patiently sitting on.

What can I say....He is a handful!

Weight- 18.12 Lbs (58 percentile)
Height- 26.6 Inches (44 percentile)

Farley Family Christmas!

After the doctors appontment we headed to pick Chris up, made a few stops and then met up with Chris family for another night of Christmas fun.....First stop, The Chuck-O-Ramma. After we ate dinner we headed over to UVSC to watch "The Farley Family Christmas!" This was a great show....Basically we are all there for the Farley family Christmas reunion. Everyone has to where name tags and then you watch this guy do a oneman show of all these different characters in the Farley Family. It was lots of fun and lots of laughs! Chase for the first half of the show had his wide eyes watching every movement of the stage and even laughed at some of the things going on. The second half he fell asleep, but I don't blame him it had been a long day and I was tired too. With having shots he was great....This will definitly be a family tradition for us!

This was pretty much Chase's eyes the whole first half of the show!
Waiting for the show to start!
Adam waiting for the show to start...I think he was a little bored with the show within the first 10 minutes! :) Not enough action for a kid his age!

Lots to Share!

Well, I have a few things I need to post about this past week! If you get bored while reading no worries, I just haven't had time to blog some of our past weeks events. So stay in your seats....here we go!

Chris Work Christmas Party!

This past weekend we had Chris work party. It was a little overnighter in Park City so it was our first night leaving Chase. Everyone kept asking me how I was doing, and I have to admit I was fine....He was in GREAT hands with his Aunt Melissa. We called and checked on him a few times and I know that he was having a great time with all of her fun entertainment that she provides. The party was lots of fun, we stayed up at the Canyons and had dinner, and had a murder mystery dinner. Chris won a giftcard to Nordstrom which got handed over to me so I could not complain. It was a great evening all and all. The next morning Chris got up and went sking and I headed to the outlets with some of the girls.

Cameron Christmas

Last night we celebrated our Christmas with the Cameron Family. Carolyn and Vic, and Ted, Sara, and the kids came down. We had a nice Christmas dinner and opened gifts with everyone. We will miss them this year at Christmas, but are excited we got to spend sometime together before we head to Florida. We ate, opened gifts, watched Mr. Kruegars Christmas, and of coure played a little Rock Band. The kids were so cute to watch on all the instruments! A good time was had by all!

Adam was so cute! Everytime he ripped off the smallest piece of paper he would run to the trash, so we finally brought a trshbag to him! He got a mud slinger truck to ride he was SO excited he kept saying, "Get it out Ted!"Drew got a slurpee machine. He let us know this is great because they would not have to go to the 7-11 anymore!Pokemon....Couldn't get a better gift for this littl guy!Little Shelby...Lot's of activities to keep her busy!

Chase- 6 Months 1 Week Old

And last but not least here is our weekly update of Chase! He is now 6 Months 1 Week old. Of course I think that he is the cutest thing ever. His 2 bottom teeth have come in pretty well and now he is getting 4 top teeth. It seems like they are coming in so fast and it is so crazy to see. He is really trying to crawl right now and figure put how to be mobile. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing. Usually he gets caught under the coffee table and starts screaming. I try to tell him if he rolls under there he is going to get stuck, but that may take sometime for him to understand. If he can't scoot where he wants to be he rolls, whatver works.... He is now a tummy sleeper too. Everytime I go into his room to check on him after he goes to bed he is on his tummy! I would put put him back on his back and go back in and he would be on his tummy again. I have to admit I like to sleep that way too! He is full of the cutest noises and seems to make new ones that make us laugh everyday. He had is first overnighter with Aunt Melissa and he did a great job! He has his 6 months appointment today so more updates to come...

Happy 6 Month Birthday!

Here Comes Santa Claus!

Chase got to go and visit Santa today! It was so cute! Chase loves to touch faces and was very intrigued with Santa's beard. He kept turning around and trying to grab it, lucky us we got a good shot with him turned forward!

Chase is on the Santa's nice list this year and I am sure will be spoiled rotten!

6 Months Old!

Chase turns 6 months old on Sunday! I can hardly believe that he has been with us for 6 months now! Time goes by way to fast and I love to see the little milestones that he hits everyday! Right now if I had one word to describe Chase it would be DROOL! He is like my own little personal water feature. He has the cutest little personality and is full of smiles and lots of new noises everyday! He is kinda like his mom, he likes to hear himself talk. :) The new one that he has been making the past few days is hearing himself cough, he has this fake little cough and I have to admit it is kinda cute. (He got that one from Chris....)

I AM THAT MOM...

Yep...I am the mom that overreactS and take there baby to the doctor for teething. I always said I would never be the mom who worries over the small things, but I guess sometimes you just can't help it when you care about something so much. Chase is a pretty good baby, not very fussy at all and when his first teeth came in I had no idea because he just isn't a fussy baby. Well this round of teething has changed. On Sunday Chase was very fussy and pulling at his ears all day long so of course the only thing I could assume is that he had in ear infection. Well....I was way off. He is just teething, hence all the drool. He has one top tooth and incisor coming in. When the doctor walked in he said, "This baby is too happy to be sick..." I let him know that he better be prepared to see me lots because it looks like I am going to be that mom. I did get to find out his weight while I was there and was suprised he was only 19lb 5 oz. I was for sure he was going to be over the 20lb mark. We will see where he is it again in a few weeks when I take him in for his 6 month appointment.

Chases favorite things at 6 months right now is reading, bathtime, his Johnny Jumper, and sucking on anything and everything that he can get in his mouth. He loves to make lots of noises and hear himself talk.

My happy little guy!

My little drool bucket!

Chase and his sippy cup! I think he likes a straw a little better, but he really likes to chew on the this if nothing else.

Oh Christmas Tree!

OH CHRISTMAS TREE!

Well we got our tree up last week, and I have to admit....I AM EXCITED! I don't know what it is about putting the tree up, but I could sit for hours and just at stare it. I love the season, I love the decor, and I just love the spirit that Christmas brings to all! I love putting the tree and up and try for to get it as perfect as possible. This year I started working on it and then noticed that I had not taken a box of ornaments out. So I took everything back off the tree and started over....There is an order to perfection! Well, it is not perfect, and I change it everyday, but I do love it!

5 months, 4 weeks old

I have not been as good as I should of posting pics of Chase latley. The past few weeks have been crazy and I have to admit I have not been as great at taking pics! So I apoligize to my mom for not keeping up to date and hope to do better in the future! I have had a few request to get some pictures of his cute little teeth, and with the help of Amy and Char we finally did it! (Thanks Guys, I left it in your capable hands and you did a GREAT job!)

Chase is getting cuter and bigger everyday! He just has the cutest personality and is such a little flirt. I think he is working on cutting another tooth right now. He is such a good baby that when those last 2 came I had no idea he was even teething because he was just as happy as he always is, but he has been a little more fussy latley. Plus the drool that looks like puddles gives you a good idea that he is getting ready to cut another one. He loves sitting all the times and wants to be doing whatever you are doing. The remote control and cell phone are much more interesting toys then the ones that he has. He is one bouncyboy as well.....It does not matter if he is sitting or standing he likes to bounce. I told Melissa and Amy the other day that he was part Tigger and part Chase with all he bounce he has in him! He loves to talk and hear his own voice every chance that he gets.....I know he is sounding more and more like me with all I am saying! I causght some cute footage below of him in his Johnny Jumper. I ran to the bathroom and when I came back he was asleep! All that bouncing can tire one out! He uses a sippy cup now, and has it down pretty good and always wants to drink out of a cup when we are at dinner. I usually get a little water for him when we go. It is so cute when he sucks it in through the straw because I don't think he realizes that he is doing it!

My what big eyes you have....My what big teeth you have!

All tht jumping tires me out!

I'm 30! (This is coming out a little late!)

Well the day has come and past and I turned the big 3-0! It was not as bad as I thought it would be hitting the dreaded 30! This past week as all Thanksgivings, has been a great week of reflection of all the things I have been blessed with in my life and I would not take any of those years back, so all I have to say is being 30 is G-R-E-A-T! (Hey, I still feel like I am 21 and thats all that matters.) This week has been great! A lot of Chris family came into town for Thanksgiving and we were able to visit and eat! My 2 favorite things....

For my birthday we had some family and a few friends over! Chris ordered take out Chineese and we all sat and played the new game Rock Band! This game is addictive and can take up hours of time. I mean heck, it is truly amazing that I even have time to write this blog since our band is touring right now! (He, He!)

All in all it has been a great week! Again I have been so blessed. I have a great husband who goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of Chase and I! He does the cutest things and makes me smile everyday. He worked hard to make my birthday special yesterday and I appreciate it! The cutest thing he did was a little scavenger hunt to find all my gifts. It was so much funning running around the house looking for the next clue. I look at him and am so amazed everyday that he chose me to be his wife! I am a lucky girl!

My other great love is my little boy! I can honestly say that there is nothing that compares to the way I feel about this little guy! There is something so contagious about his little smile and his sweet giggles. He is such a happy baby and Chris and I could not be happier that he came into our lives this year! Chris is our drummer!Our Chick Band! We Rocked!The Three Amigos!

Chase is 24 Weeks Old!

Sorry mom, about the weekly blogs...I have been a slacker and I know it. Here are a few cute videos of Chase! He is such a cutie and is making some of the funniest noises. Once he knows he can make a noise he continues to make it over and over again. Some are cute, and some are just plain obnoxious. Either way, he likes the sounds that he makes and is learning how he can talk to us and we love it! He loves to sit up every chance that he gets and thinks that he is just a big boy....which he is! He is not petite by any means. He loves to sit up at restaruants now and tries to grab anything in his reach. We let him have water and thinks that is the best!

Anything to make my boy happy!

Enjoy the videos!

The Bachelor- The final Rose Ceremony!

I know I have gotten a few calls already asking where my weekly post is of Chase...I am behind as you can see! But I have got to take some time and vent about the Bachelor! That is it....I am SO not watching that show anymore! I have spent a whole season investing my time, and my heart into this show only to have it ripped out right at the end of the season by an evil man named Brad! Here we are all of us girls sitting and watching waiting for him to proclaim his love to one the the beauties and he rejects them both! First off, I was crushed when I saw Jenny get out of the car first. Since day one, I have been a fan of hers and hoped that she would be the last one standing. It was hard enough to see her walk away, but then to have him not choose anyone in the end was totally inconsiderate to us all! I am not lying this year when I say....NO MORE BACHELOR! I am done! It is over.....that is after I watch tomorrows "After the Rose Ceremony"

Thanks for letting me vent! Brad "The Bachelor" is a JERK! And this show should be banned!

Thanks Rach for having us all over to watch!

What a week!

Chase was 23 weeks old on Friday, I know I usually do my weekly updates, but it was a crazy week for all of us! My brother and sister in law went on a cruise so we had a few of the kids for part of the week. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work. They sure do keep you busy that is for sure. We did enjoy having them here with us and a lot of fun and memorable stories to say the least.

Chase is just as cute as ever! I am not sure if I mentioned in previous blogs, but he has now cut 2 teeth. We noticed them coming in 2 days after Halloween. He has been such a good little guy and looks so cute with his new little teeth! It is cute to watch him with them because he will rub his tongue against them and makes the cutest little faces. He wants to do everything that we are doing so bad....It is always wanting to sit up now and attempts crawling, although the only place he goes is backwards. It is a funny site to see, as he pushes himself backwards! I told him it will take a couple of months before he gets that one figured out!

Here are some pics of the week! Making Mini Pizza's

Adam rolling the dough for his mini pizza! He was so cute and he loved it!

We took the kids to the nickelcade one night! Adam was so cute running to all the different games! He loves motorcycles just like his Daddy and had to sit on every motorcycle game there!

Chase and Shelby

Yummy in My Tummy!

This week we started Chase on cereal! If there is one thing that he can do, he loves to eat! As you can see from all of his pics, and his numerous rolls he does not lack in nutrients. It was cute to watch him try to figure out this whole new technique of using a spoon, he loved it!
