busy two weeks

We had a blast the last two weeks! We had my parents and Granny in from Pa two weekends ago. My nephew, Ryan Michael Schlick, officially graduated from high school. We attended the graduation and then we got a babysitter for the children so that we could have an adult night out at Brasa and Frankies Fun House which was a lot of fun. We didn't get to do the outdoor activities because of rain, but at least we played enought games inside so that Ryan could use all of our tickets to get fun dip. Then Sunday after church we went to Campbell University to check out the campus where Ryan will be in the fall. It is so nice there; I am very proud and excited for him. After that you can't have a celebration weekend without badmitten. Jeff got out the tape measure and the court was perfect for the games to begin. Brennan won the award for most improved player in one day. The girls went in the pool for a bit and we had a nice day. Of course we also grilled out and had some sweet tea! The family left for PA on Monday morning, it was a great visit. We are so thankful that our 90 year old Granny made the trip. :)
Then on Tuesday, Jenna Grace had a doosy of a dentist appointment. She had to get a silver cap and 4 fillings/sealants for all her back molars. Apparently when she got that fever when she was just a few days old is most likely the cause. The dentist said that was when those teeth were being formed and the enamel didn't properly form. So we got it taken care of and hopefully her permanent teeth will be fine. :) She was very brave. The hardest part was she was still woosy when we got home and she bumped her head and that bump was too much for her to handle.
Now to Wedensday, here comes Gramma and Pop Pop. We went to Moe's to meet Jeff after work and he took them to look for a laptop. I took the kids to AC Moore to pick out Father's Day crafts. We were in there for an hour, because Jenna Grace showed me almost everything in the store and told me she would like that for her birthday. After Jeff and his parents returned, the plan had changed. They were going to go get I-Phones. Thursday they got them. The rest of the trip in between Pocohantas, two T ball games, Trio building, tea parties, and 9 holes of golf....... we all played and learned about the I phones. Very fun time. :) Memories.... for sure. We also watched "Everything's Fine" which is now a good inside joke to say "everything's fine" ! And the children finally made them watch Wall E, they have been talking about it for a year.....They were able to stay for church on Father's day and lunch and then they had to head back to PA. We had a great visit! O by the way, Happy Father's Day to me, Jeff got me an I phone too. :)

Ok, and there is an extra older picture when Brennan was a pig in a play! I accidently uploaded it!

We had a great week! Got to see some friends and we had our last week of classes at the Little Gym. This was also Brennan's last class at the Little Gym; he has been there since we was 3! So no more karate, but Jenna Grace will be back for dance class this fall.
Friday morning we loaded the children in the van and told them we were going to cracker barrel. So it started there and then we informed them the next stop in the adventure was a "mystery" and it really was a mystery. A place called "mystery hill", definitely a different place, you will see some weird pictures of us walking on a slant. You can check it out at http://www.mysteryhill-nc.com/

Then on the way to our hotel Brennan shouted "Thomas" in a way I will never forget. He saw the tank engine up in the mountains on the track. He didn't know where we were going, so to see Thomas in the middle of the trees, just about made his hair stand up! Now, they knew where we were going the next day so we went back to the hotel and swam for a while and tired everyone out.

Off to tweetsie, we had the best day. I did shed one tear as Brennan was denied the helocopter ride because he was too tall........ but I had a great big smile when we realized he was big enough to ride the 3 larger rides. He was also brave enough to ride the "round up" which you stand up and it takes up upside down. Pretty big deal. Jenna Grace loved the tilt of whirl ride; she never laughed harder... and Sarah loved the carousel. It was a perfect day we will always remember.

Enjoy some pics!

Memorial Day Weekend

A fun filled family weekend for the Weller Family. We had an awesome stay-cation! We had a family movie night friday because of the rain and watched Wall-E again. The kids picked the same movie the last 3 family movie nights! Saturday, bright and early we went to the museum of life and science in durham. We came back home and recharged a little and went to our neighbors' pig pickin'. It was a lot of fun and delicious food. The kids were SO tired that night! We went to church Sunday and then grilled out for lunch. Then we prepared the campsite..... which was 20 feet from our back door :) We had a lot of fun playing the yard and with water balloons. Then we finished the night with a fire and smores (using reeses, whioh was delicious) and around 11 o'clock all 5 Weller's where sleeping in the tent. On Monday we went to Aunt CiCi's neighborhood pool and had a great time. Brennan remembered how to swim after a little while in the pool. Sarah was doing a backfloat, wish I had my camera for that one! Enjoy a few pictures of our fun low key weekend!

Back again

Well, it once again has been almost a year!

Since our last update, we sold our house, temporarily moved to an apartment, moved to a new house and added an upstairs. So we have been busy! But everyone is busy in 2011, so I will try not to use that as an excuse. My goal is to post once a week, so my family far away HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE! I am keeping it easy today, this is my post! :)
