Fighting back

We are fighting it off. Somehow we have made it this year with out anyone getting really sick. Not one day of school missed! Macey has a little sore throat. Daley is crabby. Will, well truth be told Will could have 104 and you wouldn't know it because nothing slows him down. So today was pj's, juice, and lots of rest. I sure hope it works!!!!

Part Two

Ok so when we last talked Bill was that mean boy who threw me in wash racks and put me in head locks to mess up my hair. The letter came back. I asked a friend of ours Scotty if he had heard from him and he hadn't. So knowing his family was in Prescott, AZ, I picked up the phone and dialed 411. Bill's the 4th William in his family so the number thay gave me was actually his grandma. I asked her if she had a son in the navy blah blah... (She later said that the minute I told her who I was and how I was looking for Bill she knew that we would end up getting married. Grandmas seem to know those things.)She said she had a grandson who just got out and gave me his parents number where I had to leave a message. He had just moved into his own apartment so his mom gave him my number and he called that night. We talked and caught up on him getting out of the navy and all that stuff.. I was on spring break so I almost drove out there.  Funny thing is that he had a 19 year old girlfriend at the time that I said was crazy. He got pretty mad at me as he thought she was "the one".  Scotty was graduating the next week with his masters so Bill flew out for that. Conveniently he broke up with her before he came out. When I picked him up from the airport he was a whole lot cuter than I remembered. ...

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????
