Ok so you asked for it

Here is a new mini series I'm starting. "How Bill and got here." It all started when I was 10 he was 11. Yes we met at 4-H camp. We had a little camp fling where he dumped me the night of the dance. He spent the next 14 years trying to convince me to go back out with him. O k well maybe not all 14. He really didn't admit the error of his ways until high school. I ran into him and some old friends at a bowling alley. His friend beat him to it asked me out before he got a chance. During this time he went with my then boyfriend to pick out a ring for me. I later learned how he kept telling him it was a dumb idea. It was a dumb idea but it was high school! He dated my best friend my senior year and we all went to the prom together. In college he called me one night to say he loved me and had for some time. AHHHHH. I thought of him like a brother... Side note Bill never told any girlfriend that he loved them except for me. So that phone call was huge. He went off to the Navy and we wrote back and forth for a few years. He always told me how the guys I dated were all wrong for me. On this rare occasion he was right.  Then one day my letter to him got returned..... Stay tuned.

Just wondering...

What compels a five year old boy to eat a banana, and throw the peeling under his bed. Or and apple and put the core in his nightstand with a Transformer hand shoved in it. Or remove the knob from his nightstand and put it behind the stand. Or write his name on the mini blinds. Not even Will but William which he never writes uses or even claims is his name. And lastly Why oh why would you bite that's right I said bite the mini blind over and over leaving teeth imprints everywhere? So what did you discover today? (I wish he did more of this a night.)

Looking for inspiration

This morning I came home to clean the house Blaaa! Anyway, I have not done that yet. I feel like the dishes and laundry will still be there when I am done. If there not, Yahoo!!!I decided to post on my blog. But what to post? About friends? That is always touchy. Someone gets hurt, offended, feels left out, etc.... About my kids? The good news is we had had a great morning. I will not be giving any of them away. About me? No way. About how Matt's sermons have been changing the way I look at our lives? Too deep. Maybe about how God has taken our good marriage and turned it into an incredible one? Boring for most of you I'm sure. So here I sit and ponder.... why do I blog? Anyway, why do you blog? Why do read? If you are lurking, why? And if you got here through a search on Google, why did you click? If you never leave comments, why?

Over 14 average a day!!!

I have no idea how but The Tibbetts 5 now averages more than 14 visits per day. Just imagine if I posted more often!!! Well thanks for coming and check to see what were up to. I'll try to be better and post more often!

UPDATE!!!

Ok so it's been awhile. Here is a long update on what the Tibbetts Five have been up to.
Bill took an 11 day vacation to hang out with us during the holidays. We started out by doing our annual trip to see Santa on the Polar Express. This was our best year yet.
We started with ice skating Daley and Will were not big fans. Macey and Dad made it around a few times. There will be NO pictures of me on skates.      Rode the train and picked up the big guy in the red suit to tell him our requests. We stopped off in Prescott to see the cousins on Bills side.
Came home to spend Christmas eve making cookies. Christmas day we spent home and my family came over. Followed by days of family and friends for dinner, New Years eve parties, play dates, finishing Will's room, posting tons, of baby stuff on craigs list, Hannah Montana, starting to get rid of all my Creative Memories stuff on ebay (need anything? no shipping if you know me;), Guitar Hero, cleaning, more play dates, and now... Bill has returned to work:( 11 days and not one of them did we not see someone or go somewhere. Our lives are full. If you are reading this thanks for being apart of our wacky lives. How was your holiday????
