going nuts...

So do you ever feel like if you had images of your everyday life out there for all to see that people would either feel really sorry for you or think you're nuts? Well here they are... lately with this insanely crappy weather, we have been stuck in the house with a bin full of toy trucks and moms camera...Brin is not feeling well so not a lot of shots of her here. Kaden likes to pretend he is taking pictures of me while I am taking pictures of him and on the last one of Parker... I have no words - he walked out into the family room like this and all I could do was take a photo. oh some days!

Pardon me...

So we are all about class in the Weibling fam and I just thought that these pictures of Brin from Sunday with her new Aunt Risa dress were pretty cute...she even posed for me! And the other night I couldn't pass up the opportunity to capture Kaden in all of his chicken eating glory - pinkie up and all. Nice.





Pardon me...but do you have any grey poupon?? So classy Kaden!

Just like riding a bike!

Saturday we took off Parker's training wheels just for fun...I held on to the back and started walking and he immediately started yelling "let go!" I did and off he went. He hasn't slowed down since. I was so amazed. You'd think that I had just won the lottery or something! must be a mom thing but I swear I was so proud I could have run 50 miles! okay maybe like 1 mile or something! But it was so awesome to see him accomplish this huge milestone. About 10 minuets later he went off a jump and came skidding into the driveway with a huge smile on his face, and I started adding up the future ER bills!

breakfast woes

I have decided that I am giving up on breakfast! It does not seem to matter what I try...NOTHING IS WORKING! Danny hates cold cereal and I know it's usually full of sugar and doesn't really fill the kids up so I try to do hot breakfasts, or baked goods, but then one likes it and the other two don't....Plus I can't seem to wake up early enough and I always have someone telling me they are hungry before I'm even totally awake! anybody have any solutions?



at least we know Kaden got the protein.

Naughty Brinlee

Recent events have shown us that our little Princess is going to be a bit of a challenge! She is so funny and sweet but I am afraid she is also a lot like her mom! Needless to say we have had to start implementing time out. Although most of the time she thinks it's funny and that it makes her pretty hip hop because she is doing things like the "big boys" what's a mom to do?

no more sugar bugs!

So the kids had their first official cleaning and exam the other day. Brin was first and she did great minus the whole "clenching down and almost biting mike thing!" She loves the glasses of course. we had the boys sit against the wall and watch so they would be prepared for their turn.
Kaden loved the whole thing - he even showed uncle Mike his owie finger while he had his cool glasses on so he could see it better. Parker was the most nervous and he kept pointing his toes - it was pretty funny. All in all a good day and the dental office. Thanks Uncle Mike DDS and Aunt Manda dental asst to the stars!

tulip run

Today was the tulip run! My very first fun run ever! I was really nervous because of course I haven't really trained and even though it was only 2 miles that's a lot when you haven't been running! Anyways, it went really well, and I felt good about my time 22:23 to be exact! I was really a nice surprise when I heard that number considering my whole goal was to finish! I actually did pretty ok! It was a blast to run with aunt Carrie and Nellie - who rocked by the way. Dust and Russ did awesome and Amanda and Kyle were my running buddies! all in all a great day. And my very first official fun run tee and race number....awesome!

little things...

So I had my big run today. well it was only 2 miles but for me that's big! I finished at 22min and 23 seconds. Not too shabby for a first run! Amanda was my little cheerleader and Kyle was amazing! Aunt Carrie smoked us all of course and Dustin and Russ did awesome. pictures to come. But I had to post what happened tonight!
At bedtime, I was reading to the boys out of the Easter book that my mom got for us. It's one of the "my first scriptures" books. We were talking about how Jesus taught the people to Love One Another. I asked the boys what that meant and then we of course practiced saying it. Then I asked them if they loved each other. They of course said yes and I asked them each why. Kaden was doing somersaults on his bed of course by this time, and I asked him "Kaden, why do you love Parker?" and I could tell that he was actually thinking about his answer, and then he said, "because he's my best friend." of course I couldn't keep the tears from coming and my sons were looking at me like I was nuts but these are the moments that make it all worth it! Enough Said.

the longest Easter cont...

So as I mentioned in the other Easter blog (years ago...sorry) Uncle Kyle and Aunt Manda took us out on a boat! It was so fun and the boys loved it, until we actually got out into open water and picked up speed. But Kyle slowed down and let them drive and then they were ok. We live in such an awesome place!




Aunt Manda keeping Brin from blowing away!

Kaden actually liked going fast more than Parker did.



Brin pretty much had the runniest nose you'll ever see!




Parker did NOT appreciate the FAST!





The boys pretty much held on to mine and Amanda's legs the whole time!

the longest Easter ever!

This was a really really really busy Easter holiday! It was also very fun. We started at the Fowler's house for the annual easter egg hunt. Then straight to the church for the primary party! We then went out on the boat with Kyle and Amanda (pictures to come) We had a blast! Then the kids went over to Mike and Crystals to hang out with uncle Dust and Aunt Marge because it was date night and we went out to dinner! Needless to say we had some grouchy kids for dinner at mom and Dads on Sunday! But it was a really fun time.


Parker was so excited to collect eggs!



Brin having a tasty treat with her new best friend!



The kids can't ever wait until we get home to tear into the candy so I figure eat it now...less for later!

Even Grandpa got in on the candy action!

I have good reasons!

okay so I know I always give you guys a hard time when you go for a long time without posting and then here I stand, my head hung in shame because I know it's been a VERY long time since I posted anything new! But I really do have a few good excuses. First of all, Danny has been working a lot lately meaning sometimes gone 4 days a week and that makes things a little crazy, Second, softball season started and so I have been going to practices two nights a week. Third I started working two days a week at my brother in laws dental office (mon and tues when Danny is home). Fourth we have all been sick for about 2 weeks now, starting with Danny getting Pneumonia and then the flu/cough/cold stuff going through everyone except Kaden, and Lastly we are going to utah in less than a week and I have been trying to get things organized and packed for our trip! So .... those are pretty good excuses right? Anyways sorry I have been MIA but we are all better now and I promise to do better!

The kids are most excited about the snacks that they have seen me pack for the trip - hey whatever keeps them happy!

When was the last time...

I'm pretty sure there has never been a time in my life that I stood on the scale and had this kind of reaction!
Maybe more like this one:

The renovation starts right now...

Amanda making good use of the time!

Danny and Kyle hard at work

What a good brother.

the clampits at their finest!

The clampits

Our neighbor miss June always jokes that she is going to start calling us the Clampits because with all of the projects that we do on the house there is always something out front waiting to be taken to the dump. We (okay Kyle) just remodled the bathroom and I just love it! Now I just have to finish painting and get the top trim up. Man I love having a handyman and free labor! What a good brother. He and Danny worked until midnight and Amanda and I kept the kiddos busy until bedtime. What can I say...we are all about the class! ps I have a ton more pictures of this event but my computer won't let me upload them to blogger. Let's just say I am "very frusterated" with the stupid computer right now.

ok Ladies!

So I have decided that we have all fallen into the rut of not blogging unless we have pictures to post- or at least I have. And I have also decided that that is silly! I love hearing what everyone is doing and how life is going for all of you. So I say BLOG ON LADIES! Pictures are fabulous, but I don't think that lack of cute photos for the day should keep us from communicating! So here it goes - I guess the worst that could happen is nobody reads it and then...who cares right?

Today Danny left for work and the kids and I went to the gym. I have been trying to get there daily but sometimes the kids make that a little more trying - especially the smallest one because she likes to scream the whole time! But the more I take her the better it gets. I have been totally slacking though so I have gained a million (ok more like 12) pounds back! Dangit I hate when that happens! Anyways, I was able to do two miles on the treadmill. Sidenote: is it odd that I run to Kenny Rogers "what are we doin' in love?" - I think its because the beat goes with my pace...sssshh don't tell anyone!

I have decided that I am going to do my first 5K run in April in burlington - the tulip run - as it were! Wish me luck, this should be interesting.

Catching up.

Okay so it has been a pretty sad week around here in some ways. We had two funerals for members of our ward and one of them was a friend of mine that I served in primary with. I hate funerals, but it was a beautiful tribute to her. I was a mess as I listened to her children speak and thought of my own kids. Her husband is the sweetest man and you could always tell that they were best friends. When she got sick, he just took such good care of her. Right down to running her errands dropping off baby gifts at showers, and thank you notes that she wanted to get out to people to thank them for all of their help! She was an amazing example. It really made me grateful for my family. So with that, here are a few snapshots from our life this week, and some shots of my favorite people in the whole wide world!
The boys were scoping out prime realestate to "build" me a garden!Uncle Dustin - I mean Parker getting a little frusterated with the tractor.Brin was so happy when Danny got home she ran with the boys out the front door to greet him!The ultimate "excuse me ...
