borderline obsessive

okay so I'm sorry but pretty much I am teetering on the edge on obsession here. I have read the twilight series...THREE times now! This last week I read them so that I could brush up before sat at midnight when I will be standing in line with all of the other crazies to buy Breaking Dawn, much to my Husbands embarrassment. I don't even care, I'm totally hooked and I will be on pins and needles all week waiting to find out what happens. Tell me I'm not the only one.

Halen Gola

So I'm sorry but I just had to post this because I don't want to forget and I sorta use this as a journal. When I was younger I used to live with my Aunt Tammie during the summers and work and help her and Uncle Loren with their twins. The kiddos had this imaginary friend they called stewman dinkston - oh yes! And I was just thinking the other day that none of my kids have ever had one - at least not that they have mentioned, until tonight! Parker was taking something to the trash for me and he was talking outside and I asked him what he was doing and he said "oh I was just talking to my back yard friends" So of course I looked back there because we don't know the people who live behind us and Parker talks to everyone but there was nobody there and he said "my pretend friends" and I said "Oh what are their names?" ..." Halen Gola" .... Priceless.

Thickens...

This is what we were talking about at dinner tonight. It made us all laugh because Kaden loves "thicken".

Dirty Bird

This little girl is going to kill me! seriously! First of all she has more hair than I know what to do with and let's just be honest here I am not the best at the whole "cute girl hair" thing in the first place. But I try...daily. So we got her all ready today and of course within a few hours of getting dressed and hair done I hear them outside and Parker is hysterical - never a good sign when it comes to Brinlee... She was out playing in the dirt with kaden and decided it would be fun to throw the dirt... on herself. Parker was on the ground laughing...me, not so much. I took pictures and then threw her in the tub and after two scrub downs - she still has sand and dirt in her hair, nice.


I don't know if you can see but there is some serious dirt in those parts!

a face only I could love!

Happy Birthday to Parker boy.

I remember the day Parker was born like it was yesterday! I was on cloud nine. I didn't even sleep after delivery I just wanted to hold him and stare at him. He has been such a blessing to us and although we are getting into the sassy stage we still love his guts! I felt so bad about all of the yucky stuff that happened on his actual birthday that I was excited to celebrate on the 4th. We went over to Mom and Dads and had a BBQ with Family and set off some fireworks and of course watched Parker open his showering of gifts from his Grandparents, aunts/uncles/and cousins. He really made out like a bandit with power tools and everything! He had a blast and it was good to get outside and enjoy the day. Happy Birthday Bud we love you.

sad news.

So we have had a pretty rough week but I thought I would post this just so that I don't have to explain fifty million times. I went to my doc for my first ultrasound on monday and she couldn't see the baby - so she said maybe we are just off on dates so she had me have my blood drawn to check my levels. They were good which would explain why I was still so sick and feeling very pregnant still. But she said that with numbers that high we should be able to see a fetal heartbeat. She had them run again on wed just to make sure and they hadn't gone up enough and so wed night late I had to go in for a D&C. Needless to say we are pretty sad but I have to say that I truly have the best husband in the world and an amazing support system of friends and family and I am doing very good. Anyways, I am not sure how you handle telling people this stuff but I figured I would need to explain.

are you gonna cry?

Today my oldest son parker said to me " Mom do you have a baby in your tummy?" to which I said " yep" to which he said " are you gonna go to the dotr (parker speak) and get it out?" I then replied "not for a long time." And then he finished up with "Mom are you gonna cry cuz your blood is coming out like that lady on TV?" . . . HELLO! WHAT? and then I remembered that the other day when he woke up from his "quiet time" I had been watching my one favorite show what not to wear and had moved on to laundry and forgotten about the tv which was then playing a lovely little episode of a baby story! yikes!

workouts and green peppers!

So today was a funny day. I was looking through the on demand menu under exercise tv for some yoga stuff and found this cardio dance number and Parker really wanted to try it! What a little hip shaker he is! Then at dinner I had tried a new recipe and it had green peppers in it which I chopped up very very fine because I knew I would hear about it otherwise - But kaden still had a problem with them! I just thought his "I don't like this" face was too funny to keep secret! Having some tech issues with posting two video clips. I'll post the Kaden green pepper video on the next one.

yes it's true!

So I thought I should probably explain...Yes we are having a baby, it's still early I'm 5 weeks now. But we are very excited and of course a little nervous! FOUR! And as for the Halloween costumes, it's all my kids wear now because they have discovered "dress up" and right now, in june, while it's raining cats and dogs outside...I'm at the "whatever makes them happy" point!

You'll never guess...

Oh man.

So I busted my bursa! Thats right. I wasn't even doing anything cool either. We had a tournament last sat and I was reaching for a throw and I fell and just destroyed my knee! It actually hurt really bad but it's doing much better now and the swelling has gone way down. Never a dull moment! Oh yeah and we have discovered that Brinlee is a princess...who knew?

don't mess

I just thought she looked so tough in this picture that I had to post it. This little firecracker is a handful and a half! She is also the funniest thing ever. We love you Brin.

what a croc!

Okay, Can I just say that whomever (that's right) Whomever invented these delightful pieces of footwear had me in mind the entire time! I LOVE THEM. Kaden had a pair last year and he refused to wear anything else so this year I decided to get a pair for the whole brood and let me just say - they are fab! I don't care that instyle says they are hideous and a major fashion faux pas (I know I am totally pulling out the big guns here folks!) They rock. The kids can put them on BY THEMSELVES in seconds and they are roomy so they don't get blisters. they pretty much match everything and I just heart them to death!

childrens museum

Ahoy! We took the kids to the children's museum of skagit county the other day and they had a blast- salmon fishing and grocery shopping, and they really loved turning the lights out and then watching their shadow appear on the wall! But the best part for Danny and I by far was on the ride home we were listening to the 80's music station on xm and this song came on that we hadn't heard in forever so of course we had to really rock out! "get out of my dreams....get into my car" with a little of me in the background (get in the back seat baby) And the kids were totally embarrassed! I couldn't believe it I looked back and the photos below are what I saw. We had to high 5 this being the first time we have publicly embarrassed out children. First of many I'm sure! awesome.


I'm a sailor ... I sail. AHOY!


captain Kaden...yikes.

Danny amazes us all with his ability to find spots to rest.

my children...aspiring truck drivers

this is soooo embarrassing.

say it aint so!

So miss Brinlee has decided that she can do the whole potty training thing so we are going to give it our best shot! I am really really really hoping that it's true that girls are easier than boys because other wise we are going to have a rough summer! She is pretty funny though and likes to have her cell phone and hair brush with her while sitting on the pot - hey to each her own right? I had her in just a top so that I could tell when she needed to go or if she started going. I have never seen someone so comfortable with their bum hanging out from under their tank top! She walked around like she owned the joint!

So proud of herself!

She's a pro!

ow my legs...

So basically I thoroughly apologize for being such a lame blogger these last few weeks, things as always are a little nuts. I think it comes down to overscheduling. Danny is working a lot these days and then I work on days that he's home and I am also playing softball (which has been a total blast) But I did a dumb thing and started excersizing way to heavily, running and such without working up to it and now I am having major shin splint issues. I go back to the doc next week and hopefully I don't have fractures. At my last visit I was told to stay off of my legs for 4 weeks and so I have been taking it easy but they just aren't getting better and it hurts all of the time. Maybe it's just that I am getting old! So I am out on the bench for another week and I won't get to play in our tournament tomorrow but I am going to be the best book keeper/ cheerleader you have ever seen! GO K9's ( c'mon our sponsor is a dentist what do you expect!)

3..2..1..BLAST OFF!

Do you ever wish you could join your kids in their Bissell rocket ship (those have extra power don't you know) and enjoy a little backyardagains?

The wutzy wutzy spider

I am sorry but this cracks me up. All three of my kids are very different of course but one of the ways that is the funniest to me right now is in the one itsy bitsy spider song! Brinlee LOVES it right now and so we sing it multiple times throughout the day. They all sing it differently and I just had to put the videos on here because I think it's funny. Parker sings the wutzy wutzy spider...we've tried correcting him....it's best to just let it be. Kaden sings the itsy itsy spider but then he gets stuck in a round and the song never ends-it just keeps going back to "down came the rain" and last but not least, Brinlee just walks up to us and makes the spider with her fingers and says SPIDER in her best gibberish of course! So without further ado... the vocal stylings of the Weibling children! Please excuse the enraged outburst at the end, a girl can only take so much brother if you know what I mean!

oh these three!

Asher, Brinlee, and Rylin have become the funniest three some ever! We have been going to the park quite often lately as the weather has been so nice. It is so awesome because the older kids ride their bikes around the trail, the younger ones chase the seagulls and eachother and we moms get to sit in one spot (because all of the kids are visible) on the beach, and enjoy the weather relaxing! I really hope the weather keeps getting nicer because it would just break my heart to take a bad turn now!


Asher trying to keep up with those sassy little things!


And Brin takes the lead


Rylin and Asher eventually held hands as they walked...too cute!
