What have the Welker's been up too lately???

Honestly, not a whole heck of a lot! But here's a couple of highlights of us from the month.

"Chase the builder"




Chase has always loved to build, but these days he is taking it to a whole new level! He is constantly building something. Today he showed me this airplane (see pic) that he built all by himself and the other night during his late night me and him made this house together. (see pic)

And here's Talan trying to take Chase's airplane away and just in case you didn't notice...Chase is not happy about it.



Decorating the tree





Yes, we already have our tree up. I guess I got caught up in the excitment of Chiristmas coming. So, as a result, for our last FHE we talked about all the different symbols of Christmas and what each symbol represents. We all learned a lot. As we were talking about all the symbols we decorated the tree. We all just enjoyed being together.

Lots and lots of pictures have been made



The kids love to make me and Cort stuff. We have pictures hanging up all over our house from the fridge to the bathroom door to the wall in our room. Here they are with a "cake" that they made me one day last week. They were so cute, I heard them knocking on the back door and when I opened it this what I found. Oh, and Chase has decided that pictures are now sometimes ok, as long as he is making a silly face in it.

Finally the leaves have started to fall....



This was our third attempt going to Grandpa Bryce to jump in all the leaves from his humongous trees. The kids love this and thought the best part was when I let them bury me in the leaves. Sorry no picture of that. However, Tally was not a fan of any of it. Maybe next year.

Twilight the movie



I went to see TWILIGHT with some friends at midnight the night of the premiere. It was so fun. (Although I paid for it the next day, I was seriously dragging!) We did dinner and then the movie. I thought the movie was great, (especially the second part of it, from when Edward rescues Bella from the bad guys in the city to the end) and I will definitely see it again. Maybe even own it, that's saying a lot for me cause I am not a movie buyer, unless it's a kid movie. Anyways, when I got home at 3:00 AM, this is what I found. Cort and Tally fast asleep in our bed. Of course, I took a picture.

That picture of Tally crying because Chase doesn't want him to have his plane breaks my little heart! Looks like you guys are having a lot of fun whether you have been up to a lot or not.

You guys HAVE been up to a lot, my favorite kind of stuff, home stuff, not running all over the place stuff. We did our tree tonight; your 'peace' ornament and 'believe' star are 2 of my favorites on our tree. I love the photo of Chase & Tally as well; it's definitely something I see in my house sometimes. :)
