Jayne update

here is a little jayne update... she still loves to take baths and her hair is getting much longer, its a full blown mullet now:)
here she is just hangin' out
and this picture was just cute, this is her usual curious face
she is now 14 months and growing WAY too fast. she says please, thank you, puppy, cindy, baby, momma, dad, wow, uh-oh, ball, owie, and a ton of other random noises that i can't quite make out, but are very entertaining and seem to get her point across.... oh and she also points to everything

Who Who?

Well, if you don't know, my sister KIM has an owl that lives in her tree, and i thought he looked so great, i wanted to make something with a little owl on it, so i came up with this little smock...and to make it even better... its reversible:)

Weber Reunion Part 2: Video footage

Here we are on one of the coasters, my brother ian is in front with the camera

Here is the Chinese fire drill... yes we had two cars, and yes, those are gummies thrown at my windshield

This is a the sky coaster... holy cow, i realized that i was not as brave as i thought i was when i reached the top of this ride.... whew, but it was awesome, they pull you up and then you pull your own release cord, and you swing through the air... it was scary, but really fun

here's my little brother ian pulling a prank on my big brother warren in the bathroom:)

we had a ton more pics, but you can go to my sister Shaina's blog to look at them:)

Weber reunion...Part one

we all arrived to my brother Jamie's house last thursday... aug. 7th. My brother warren hasn't been able to see us all together for a while, so we thought it would be funny if we all wore name tags for him:) so after a couple of pictures we got down to business...
( i just like this picture... here are all the sisters together)
We start to Tie-dye... this is shaina
here's warren's ball of shirt
it was a spray tie-die, you couldn't really get into the cracks, but it made for some sweet shirts

Team... Jacob? *includes a news clip

Friday night i went out with my sisters and friends...(brittany, megann, courtney and jemayla)
Well, it was a normal girls night out right? Wrong! this was THE ultimate girls night out, we were getting the new twilight book Breaking Dawn ! well it started out kinda normal... just dinner (which was really good...m TGIF) then we were headed over to B&N when we got to thinking we weren't quite dressed right for the night. after putting it to a vote, and seeing tons of teens in prom dresses.... we decided we were going to crash the party like a bunch of wolves:)
so we headed to the dollar store to buy t-shirts, markers scissors, and some dark make-up.... after a little bit of arts and crafts we came out with some real master pieces!
Our shirts said: Team Jacob on the front, and then things like "Don't make me angry", "You missed me eat a whole cow!", "Dear Bella, pick me", "Wanna ride my motorcycle", "I haven't slept much lately, okay!?", AHHOOOOOOOO, "I'm in the mood to IMPRINT", etc... We ratted our hair, added tree branches, and some leaves to look like we ran through the forest. I gotta say, this was my favorite picture! you can see the REAL animals in us come out:)When we showed up at the book store, there were definitely some haters. they we all like "oh my gosh... team JACOB? how sick can you get!" and "there is NO WAY she's picking jacob!" i gotta admit i'm an edward fan, but still, we had to come up with costumes fast, and i wasn't going to buy a prom dress...

at the party they had little activities like face paint and corsages. i got my nails painted (silver sparkles) it was a fun night!! and it took me so long to post because i was reading the book, i have to say i haven't gotten anything done this weekend:)

we were also on the news... here is a clip(i just recorded it my TV so sorry... i also didn't realize i was giggle-ing through some of my favorite parts, and it was kinda hard to get this video to work, so i wasn't gonna do it again)
we were really composed for the interview, but for the 20 minutes we stood wating for it, i'll admit we were a little outta control... they thought we were a bunch of 17 year olds and were surprised we were all moms:) i'd have to say courtney was the worst... sorry courtney;) it was probably because she had 6 kidos in her house for that week instead of her own 3
