Boys are made of snails and puppy dog tails

Here's a little shout out for our cute boys, who are both growing like mad and changing very quickly too. Chase is really turning into a little boy and I swear has more and more energy everyday. He just goes and goes and goes....his energy and love of life really is never ending! Love it.

In two days Talan will be 9 months old. Crazy how fast that went! He is now crawling all over the place and has pulled himself up to stand a couple of times, usually when he is trying to get someone to pick him up. He is also clapping his hands and his feet, like a seal would, (my personal favorite!) when he gets excited. He still is just content and easygoing and usually very happy and such a joy to be around. He loves to explore and he has started to realize that he would rather be outside then anywhere else. Happy 9th month birthday to him!

I had to post this about Chasers, because seriously it just makes me laugh. We recently had a Jamba Juice built out by us. And all I can say is YUM! I am totally a Jamba Juice addict...I'll admit it. Taylor isn't that big of fan of them, but Chase on the other hand, I think loves them as much as I do. The other day Cort brought us each one on his way home from an appointment. And when I went outside to check on Chase I found him on the trampoline drinking his down while his dad was mowing the lawn. I couldn't resist and needed a picture of him. I ran outside with the camera and told him to look at me so I could take a picture and he said "just a sec, I'm drinkin' my jama uice!" He seriously melts my heart. Oh, and notice in Chase's left hand King the car from the Cars movie, Chase rarely goes anywhere without him or one of the other Cars characters. I think it's safe to say that he is DEFINITELY obsessed with everything that has anything to do with Cars the movie.


Talan got his first haircut the other day, thanks to Cort. Cort borrowed some clippers from my brother and gave him a little trim. Talan sat so still for it, and Cort did a great job. I swear, this kid is just mellow yellow, he is pretty much ok with just about anything! He is such a sweet little guy.

OK, so Chase the other day slept for a whopping 14+ hours, that's got to be a record of some sort! He has had a cough and running nose for about a week or two so we decided that we would keep him home from church and just let him take it easy. I just shut his door and was amazed when ten 'o' clock in the morning rolled around and he was STILL asleep! He finally woke up, when I accidently woke him up, while trying to get a picture of him. All that sleep must of been just what he needed though, cause he woke up just grinning from ear to ear.

Chase has always been so in love with Talan, from the day we brought him home. I will find them together playing side by side or sharing a treat of some sort, usually something that Talan is not suppose to have. For example, tonite I found Talan with a hot tamale, the candy, in his mouth, courtesy of Mr. Chase. I love that they are already so close. The other day I walked in the family room where they both were playing and found them sitting side by side with Chase's arm around Talan and I heard Chase tell him "I love you Tally Bryson Welker." Sooo cute! I can't stand it.
