bath time

So I just wanted to show everyone what it is like to give Chase a bath. He is so stinkin' ticklish that every time you try to scrub his body he just laughs. And it is the same with putting lotion on him. I promise I am not secretly tickling him somehow...if you do not believe ask my brother. He watched Chase the other night while we went to Bri and Ryan Reed's shin dig the other night and he said Chaser goes nuts. So I decided to share with everyone his bath time.

And P.S. I know my white legs are sexy and all...but lets not focus on them too much. I have to roll up my pj pants or they get all wet!

This is Chase and Ethan after bath time hanging out in Chase's bed. Chase looks like a chunky monkey here.

This is Chase's "what are you talking about?" look. Lately he has had a lot of funny faces.

Now the video. All of these pics and the video were done with my cell phone so they stink in quality.

Ethan is 8 months old!...and our first garage sale!

So Ethan Cole Waters is eight months old today! He is so much fun and so dang cute! I feel like with Ethan time has gone by so fast! Maybe because having two kids keeps me so busy verses just having one. So Ethan has two teeth that are coming in so he is drooling everywhere so in some of these pics he is a mess!

Ethan sitting in the high chair waiting to be fed!

He loves Chaser. They were both looking and smiling but Kaden was yelling Airplane in the background so they both looked then Chase ran away so I could not get another one.

He loves playing with his toys. Don't look at the slobber all over his shirt I try to keep bibs on him but I failed today.

We are trying to crawl. He rolls and can pull up pretty well but still is not crawling.

Then when he gets frustrated with not crawling he just lays there like this and waits for someone to get him.

My first yard sale!

Last Saturday we had a yard sale, and it was a lot more work than what i thought it would be! I didn't think about tables, or starting out with money to give cash back...so we had a rough start, but thanks to my grandparents and father in law it was a success. THANK YOU!!!

The yard sale! We are still in the process of setting up here.

Grandma got the boys these cars from the yard sale across the street

Alicia, Brendon, and Grandpa collecting money!

Curtis and Kendyl just chillin.

At about 11 am Chase was worn out!

Cousins Kaden and Brendon's Birthday Party

Our (Chase and Ethan's) cousins Kaden and Brendon just had their birthdays, well kind of I am just a little late on posting this. Kaden's birthday was October 25th (I am almost positive on that...) and he just turned four! Kaden is so much fun! He can be a handful but he tells some pretty dang funny stories, we love having Kaden come and play. Chase thinks he is the best thing ever. Brendon just turned 1 on November first! Brendon is a cute little boy. He gets into everything and puts everything in his mouth! He is a great little dancer and makes the cutest little faces! Here is some birthday party pictures.


Brendon eating his birthday cake. He would not dig in it, just one finger lick at a time.


Kaden standing by all his gifts. He was so excited he started opening them a little to early, if you look closely you can tell that red one is ripped.

Chaser whacking the pinata


It was Brandon's birthday too so they let him hit it.

Chase does not understand that these were not his gifts to open.

Alicia got to open up Brendon's gifts. She was way excited about this one.

I got caught

Chase seems to go in phases of things he likes (like all kids). First it was Sponge Bob. He LOVED Sponge Bob. He watched it at my parents house and next thing I knew...he just wanted everything Sponge Bob. He would see a yellow jeep and call it Sponge Bob jeep...when we moved him to a big boy bed so Ethan could have the crib, and we went to pick out his sheets he wanted the sponge bob sheets, and then he got the sponge bob pajamas and then the sponge bob doll, so when he went to bed at night it was Chase covered in Sponge Bob.

Then I got tired of that and watching the same episodes over and over. So I tried getting him into other things. Now it is Lightning McQueen from CARS. So the other day we were at the store and we always have to go get a hot wheel car...oh man we have a ton of those...daddy got us in the habit of that. So we went over to the car area and he wanted the Lightning car and i saw it but i did not want to pay the money for it ($3...i am cheap) so i got the little hot wheel car that was red...he wouldn't know the difference and he didn't for a whole three days. He carried that little 97 cent car with him everywhere! Then we went to the mall to play. And across the play area is the Disney store...and what do they have a huge display of? CARS. so he runs in there so excited looking at all the cars and backpacks and everything else they freaking make, then it was time to go. And he flipped. So i pull out his little "Lightning McQueen" car out of the diaper bag, he looks at it, then looks at the real Lightning McQueen car, throws his down and says "NO!!" He then realized mom has been lying to him this whole time. I felt so bad. So with him kicking and screaming the whole way out of the mall I call Curtis and have him pick up the real Lightning McQueen car at the store. He was so sad he threw his fake lightning car down and would not play with it at all. Finally when we got home I put the movie in and that settled him down somewhat. But when dad got home from work that day with the real car he was so excited!!! Now he will not let this one go. And at night time if you try to take it out of his grip while he is sleeping he wakes up. Oh boy! What will be next!?

watching cars, he gets so excited at the beginning

Chaser's First Haircut

So Chaser has not had to get his hair cut yet. He is 21 months old and still no hair cut. Well uncle Brandon has been making some comments lately that it is time, that his hair is gross. I have to admit Chase did need the back trimmed. His hair is straight all over his head except for the back...it is curly and coarse...it is so weird. The rest of his hair is so nice and red and soft...then there is the back. So we got the clippers out at dinner on Sunday and Brandon and Curtis buzzed his hair. I thought it would be a good idea to give him that sucker to keep him calm but in the end it was covered in hair and the hair was all in his mouth, it was gross. So here is how it went... (sorry the picture quality is not so good they were taken with my cell phone)

Playing with Chaser's hair and deciding what they want to do to it. Chase has no idea what is going on, he is just enjoying his sucker and the relaxtion of people rubbing his scalp.

This is when they started the buzzers...my poor baby!

And the finished product...there are some definite spots where they messed up...but not so bad for the first time. I should have took a picture of his mouth and sucker with all the hair in it...it was really gross!

Now my little boy looks like a big boy, oh what a hair cut will do.

Brandons B day dinner and Our little FHE

Here are some random pictures.

Chase cuddeling up to Curtis and watching some t.v.

Chase would not get off uncle Aaron's dirt bike. he loves sitting on motorcycles and making the engine noise...it is funny, he even pretends too be a bike and race around the house.

This is Brandons Birthday dinner at Chevy's. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDON the big 22

He did not like it when they sang happy birthday

Here is our little Family home evening. With kids we usually go on a walk or something, but this evening we played in the backyard, colored our pumpkin and decorated cup cakes.

The boys coloring the pumpkin.

Chaser giving E kisses because he was sad. I love my boys!!!

Chaser is showing you his brother...as you can tell Chase does not like to get dressed so in a lot of my pics he is usually wearing slim to no clothes.

Oh boys!!! One of many more posts with our cousins

Like I said in my last post I have Kaden and Brendon a couple of days a week and I seem to take a lot of pics when they are here. So here is one post of many more to come!

Brendon seems to do this stand a lot lately. Ethan is looking at him like he is crazy

The boys pretending to take a nap ...Pretending is the key word here...very rarely do they get good naps, we have too much fun!

Ethan and Kaden hanging out

"What's gonna work? Team work!" Kaden is a big helper with the other little ones

You can not really tell but Chase is shooting his water gun here...he is really into getting the bad guys I have to keep telling him mommy is not a bad guy.

Having fun!

I am not very good at this whole blog thing and I keep saying that I am going to get better at updating it and keep failing to do so. But while the babies are sleeping I am going to do a real quick post. Just an update on our little family...Curtis is staying busy with school, work and scouts. Next semester is even going to be worse just because he is taking five classes (not looking forward to that at all)! Me and the boys just hang out during the day and play! A couple days a week I get to watch Kaden and Brendon (my nephews) and that is always fun. We have our stressed out moments (four boys all under 4 gets kind of crazy) but it is fun having the boys be close cousins, and now that Aaron and Alicia live a mile away we get to see them a lot more! Chase is 20 months (when I say that the people with out kids always say the same remark "Why is it that everyone with kids do the whole month thing why can't you just say he is almost two?") and he is learning to put little sentences together. It is funny to hear his chopped up sentences. He is such a little boy, totally into motorcycles and getting the bad guys, I guess it helps too that we have all boy cousins (on both sides of the family). But he so fun! Ethan is almost seven months! He is getting big so fast! I can not believe it! He is sitting up and rolls every where. He is a cute baby (of course I am going to say that I am his mom, but really he is!) he is a little high maintenance always wants to be played with, he is getting a little bit easier everday! Chase and E are funny with each other. They are starting to interact with each other and laugh with one another so it is cute! Well the boys are starting to wake so I better end this before it is too late. Here are just a few pics.

Me and the boys...not a very attractive picture

Fun night with the Waters Family

The other night Curtis had some family in town so we all went to the Spaghetti Factory (which is so freaking good) then we went on the light rail. Curtis and I have never been on it so it was exciting. I think all the people on the light rail that ride in everyday probably thought I was nuts taking all these pictures, oh well. It was a lot of fun, but being on it for two hours when you have a child who wants some milk and go to bed and your other baby is hungry for some boob, it got kind of chaotic. I felt bad for all the people sitting around us. But thanks for the fun night!!

waiting to get on the train...Curtis does not know how to take pics... he needed to bend down
