How Taylor and Chase are always thinking of one another. If Taylor gets a treat or anything, she makes sure that Chase gets one and vice a versa. They are constantly making sure that the other one is taken care of. In fact, if Taylor gets in trouble Chase is sooo concerned about her. And Taylor does the same thing too. I'm lucky they haven't ganged up on me as of yet.
How Talan absolutely loves his bouncy seat he got for Christmas. He will just sit in that thing forever and bounce away while he literally screams at his toys.
How Chase loves to build, explore, and figure things out.
How much Taylor loves to sing and dance. She always has. At 18 months she was singing I am a Child of God, word for word. And by the time she was two, she could sing I love to See The Temple. She has always loved to sing. In fact, when she was a couple years younger, I was told to put her in voice lessons when she got older because she seemed to have a talent for it.
How Chase loves to sleep with things. Sometimes it's the most random things. When he was almost a year old, he had a play fork that he slept with. And just recently some of things he has slept with have been a ball (his most favorite), a controller from the XBox, his Diego book, Pablo from the Backyardigans, his Nemo swim diaper, and of course his precious blue blankie that he's had since he was born.
How when Taylor has a friend over, she lets Chase just follow them around and makes sure that he feels included. I don't think I have ever heard her tell him to leave them alone. On the contrary, she tells him "Come on, Chase."
How Taylor loves to help Chase say prayers.
How Chase loves to be on the go. He has so much energy, I wish I could bottle it. He just loves life. Taylor on the other hand is a home body. So, if I tell them we need to run to some places, Chase is always happy to go and Taylor always just wants to stay home.
How Talan loves to watch his big sister and brother, no matter what they're doing, if their in the room, his eyes are usually on them.
How excited everyone gets when Cort gets home!! (including me!)
How much Taylor and Chase love to hold Talan. All day long they are constantly asking.
How Chase will get down to Talan's level and talk with him and play with him. He has done this ever since Talan was born. When Talan was maybe a week old, I walked into his room where Talan was laying, and found Chase all alone with him, playing patty cake.
How Taylor is soooo easy going and independent. In fact, her preschool teacher has told me this about her as well. Whenever I ask Taylor who she played with at preschool, it's usually someone different every day. She is so considerate of others and doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings ever! Even if that someone hurt her feelings. It's no wonder why she has so many friends.
What good helpers my kids are! They both love to help unload the dishwasher, help with the laundry, and put away their clothes. I was so happy when a good friend who was watching Chase one day for me told me that when he would get a toy out to play with it, he would then put it away when he was done, without being asked!
Most of all...the thing that I love the most about us is the love we feel for one another.

I love your kids!!
This made me cry!! They are so sweet! At Tannons b-ball game Taylor kept drawing Holden pictures of the holy ghost. I hope Holden is a good example for all his cousins when he is 5!!
How fun! I love it. I felt like doing a post like that was the best way to capture all the little things they do that I wanted documented for ever. I'm glad you did one :)
This is so cute. I especially like that photo of the three of them together. Such fun memories.
