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????

                                                                                                                                                                               

Rainy days with the Tibbetts'

Rainy days have come to mean a few traditions in the Tibbetts house. Hot chocolate and cookies:
                                                                                                                                                              Dressing ourselves And eating lunch from a lunch bag in front of the fireplace.

My little turkey!

So tomorrow Will is five years old. Crazy how fast it happens. I did not want him to feel like his birthday was lost by the great turkey feast so we decided to celebrate it last Friday. He invited a friend from school over to play and we where going to have all his favorite food for dinner. I say where because accidents happen. Let me first say that his birthday party was canceled at the last minute last year because Daley got the stomach flu. Nathan would call it the north virus. Well this year she stepped it up a notch. Just before my family arrived for dinner. Daley hit her head on the media niche resulting in this...  Yep our first one to get stitches!!!
My family celebrated without us. More details on the stitches story another time. For now I just wanted to say I love my little man and I'm so thankful he is understanding about this stuff.

I had nothing to do with it...

I have great kids. Most of you will stop reading now because this is not a funny one. I just want to brag about how cool my kids are becoming and that I had little to do with it. Ok well if hours of praying counts I had a little something in it. Macey decided not to have a big birthday party this year (a first since her birth). She wanted to spend the day a Disneyland just her, her dad and me. FUN STUFF. We figured we should take advantage since soon she be asking us to drop her off at Ball Rd. so no one will know she is with us. Will was planning a big party at the gymnastics place. Let me tell you, they do a cool party, foam pit, trampoline, the works. We did it for his third birthday. Yesterday he decided he would rather hang out with mom and dad at Disneyland than have a party. CRAZY KID!!! Only while we were having this talk they ask if they can take each other on their special Disneyland day!!! I love my kids.

Eight years!!!

Ok so I keep getting asked to blog. However, it has been the last thing from my mind. Not that my children don't give me plenty to blog about. Macey will be 8 tomorrow. How did this happen? I'm certain that Bill and I slipped through some mandatory screening process. We are not qualified to have an 8 year old! She has once again asked for a plain cupcakes. The wrappers could not even say happy birthday. I did get away with polka dots.I got permission to add some sprinkles to the top. For her family birthday party she wants hamburgers, edemane, sourdough bread and for dessert... Big Stick Popsicles. She is so her dad!!!!!
Anyways, I'm having post event let down. Marriage getaway is done. Truly "fabulous" (that's for Colin). I told you about Macey's birthday. Will's is on Thanksgiving. Bill's is the 29th. We have Mission Inn run next Sunday. Then on to crazy December. Ah... maybe life will slow down in January.....NOT!
