A Budding Artist

Following in the footsteps of her big sister, Lilly appears to have also inherited the crafting gene! From crayons, to Play Dough, to glue sticks, the medium seems not to manor, these days Little Miss Lilly can often be found happily creating away at the kitchen table. Be prepared for homemade gifts aplenty from the Weer family in the near future!

Waiting for Spring

Like most Wallowa County residents, Camdyn and Lilly are anxiously awaiting spring. While snow covered mornings used to bring squeals of joy, these days Camdyn is quick to show her distaste for any weather with even a hint of white. Each morning, we eagerly check for our favorite sign of warmer weather on the way.....the presence of birds at our newly installed feeder. As their numbers grow each morning, we hope its a sure sign of sunnier days ahead!

Where's Lilly?!?!?!?!?!?!

They're Back.............

What do one missing camera, a virus infected computer and two very busy children equal?!?!?! Three months of absolutely, positively NO STINKING BLOGGING!!!! However, I am happy to announce, that while the girls are busier than ever, the camera has been found and the computer debugged! So, without further ado, the official return of the Weers!

I will work over the next few weeks to make up for lost time, but for now, a picture or two of our playful, precious little people!

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

Lately I find myself in a continual state of frustration with Camdyn's wide array of excuses when it comes to going to bed. After she has run through every toddler cliche "I want a drink," "I need to go to the potty" and "I'm scared of the dark," she gets quite creative. Thus far my favorite have to be "the hair stuck to me tongue" and not being able to find her comforter (she hid it under her pillow).

However, despite the annoyance of her excuses, I keep making my own to keep from blogging. While I feel mine are much more legitimate, in the big picture of life, aren't they really all the same thing?!?!? So, before I post our LONG overdue Christmas photos, vacation snap shots and first birthday memories, I will share the top three reasons (i.e. excuses) that I have been unable to find the time or energy to update you all on the ins-and-outs of our Weer Family life......

1. "Mama!!!!!!!!!! Lilly pooping in the tub!!!!!"

2. "Jeff, I think Barley just peed all over our bed" Don't worry....I thought right

and

3. The on-going attempts to catch the elusive "slug sisters" before their never ending runny noses leave yet another slime trail all over our beautiful red couch......

But without further excuses or ado...........let the posting begin!

Merry Christmas 2010

We had the most wonderful quiet Christmas at home in Enterprise just being a family of four.....and Barley of course. From making our traditional (well, a two year tradition) huckleberry pancakes to baking our first cookies for Santa, it was definitely a year to remember and a time to feel blessed!

California Dreaming

As if the excitement of the holidays wasn't enough, the Weer Clan was lucky enough to hop on a jet plane and head to the Bay Area to celebrate the New Year! And if playing for hours a day with cousin Dawson wasn't enough, Aunt Claire and Uncle Alan helped us travel around like true tourists, hitting up the highlights of San Francisco and the Jelly Belly factory! We can't wait for our next trip!
