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!

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!

5 Months Old- (22 Weeks)

Chase is growing like a weed and amazing us everyday! He has so much energy already and has the cutest little personality. He wants to sit up every chance that he gets. He does a pretty good job doing it on his own, but will still loose his balance at times and topple over. We have taken out his high chair, and he loves it. We just put some toys on it while we eat and he is happy and content. We plan on starting to feed him cereal sometime this week, so he will see this chair is for more than just playtime. He is just one little happy guy and loves to giggle and give lots of smiles! His favorite activity right now would have to be the Johnny Jumper. Once you get him in there he just bounces around and giggles at himself.
What a cute boy!

Halloween 2007

Halloween was fun this year! We just relaxed at home had some soups and answered the doors to all the trick or treaters. During the day we stopped at both my work and Chris work. All the kids came into Chris work and there were the cutest costumes. Chris and I always try to think of costumes the night before and then end up not dressing up at all....That will change! I am going to put on my thinking cap and it the sales! (Well we will see....) Here are some pics below from the big events.Chase and Aunt MelissaVisiting Daddy at work!Chase got a little warm so we took his ears off!Rylee came over to visit! What a cute cat and dog!
Rylee got a hold of the camera and was taking random pic. I thought this was a cute one of her!
Payton came over to hang out for Halloween. I did not get the best shots because there was so much paparazzi around I had to shove myself in. So this was the best one there was....She was a cute little monkey!Chase just bouncing around in the Johnny Jumper (My $10 value off of KSL)
