Weber3.0
March 30, 2010 by ben
Today we did confirm that Weber 3.0 is in fact a little girl. Chloe is thrilled that she will have a baby sister and is already planning what the new baby will like. The list already includes purple, butterflies, and Star Wars. But not Ewoks, seeing as Chloe is a little unsure of them still. Atticus is a little bruiser right now and will be a great brother for two girls. If things keep going the way they have, he will be large and protective.
Next few steps in the CampWeber extravaganza we call life:
1) Nest
2) Pick Weber 3.0’s Name
3) Acquire Baby clothes and bedding
4) Nest
5) Try not to lose my hair
Pray for sanity

OMG
February 22, 2010 by ben
Christian has been out of town or out of pocket for WAYYYYYYY too long. Between 2 conferences, a board meeting, and all the over the top preparation she puts in, it feels as though she has been gone since Christmas. The kids and I (Ben) have been getting a lot of time together, which is NOT as cheery as it may sound. we are all tired and getting over illness. On the plus side, my authoritative “dadness” has taken a huge step up. Both kids spent time in time-out tonight as I got dinner together and they were both in bed well before out normal bed time. But I think we might make it through this period. Christian should be home with us by Saturday…. only 4 more days of this.
I did spend some time on Sunday painting Chloe’s nails. Although she had chewed off all the color by the time she took a bath. But not before I snapped proof of my awesome “dadness.”
Work is fine right now, but I need a vacation from the rest of life. Oh well, I guess college is just around the corner… t-minus 15 years?

Halloween and a RAWK Star
November 8, 2009 by ben
I don’t think life will ever slow down. We running constantly. Late for everything, always messy, sometimes crying, and covered in drool. The kids are growing like weeds. Atticus is a very different kids than Chloe. He is becoming a little man with no sense of danger. His vocabulary is expanding rapidly. He can now say; dog, Moose, Mom, Dad, Please, More, Ta-Tart (pop tart), Cup, eat, Poppa, Becca, Goose, Lamb, Duck, More, and more. I am sure I am missing something, but everyday it seems he learns another word.
The last few weeks included a wedding, a trip to a couple farms, and lots of dancing and body slamming. Tonight we are off to the theater to see Marry Poppins with almost the entire Weber family, sans Mar, Atticus, and Quade.
I am sure all of you don’t watch our Flickr updates, so here are a few highlights.

Fall is in the air
October 20, 2009 by christian
We have done our official “Welcome Fall” by going to the Oil Ranch out in Cypress. I really couldn’t tell who was more excited, me or the kids. I love to be outside and just let the kids have the freedom to run til their heart’s content. There were so many activities, and knowing how much they loved animals I knew it would be a blast. I like going in October because the kids get to pick out a pumpkin from the patch to bring home. We now have two cute pumpkins on our front porch! I think Ben posted some pictures from the day. One of my favorite memories was getting to watch Atticus feed cows for the first time. They gave us these little pellets and told us to put them in our flat palm so that the cow didn’t bite us. Try telling that to my 15 mo. old who would rather put his entire hand into the cow’s mouth. He did it twice, and both times his hand came out with long spit strings attached. Needless to say, we needed purel stat!
They got to ride horses, a train and sit on a tractor. We ate snow cones, pet donkeys, and ran relay races. They climbed and got lost in a mini maze (it was low to the ground made with hay bales). It truly was the perfect day…until the next day when I realized that mom (yeah, that’s me) forgot to put sunscreen on my poor trusting children. That’s right, I admit it. Chloe and I had faint crimson coloring on our faces, but my poor boy had the worst burn ever…blisters and all. I feel horrible. How could I have let this happen? He doesn’t seem to be bothered by it though, so I think I’ll make it thru. I really can’t wait to do it all again, except this time I’ll remember the sunscreen!
We are gearing up for the next couple events, Ben and I are going to Federicksburg for the weekend and Uncle Ben and Aunt Becca are coming to hang out. I am gathering that it might be our last chance for awhile cause Chloe and Atticus are getting much more active and a little exhausting for the average person. I have faith everyone will be ok, bruises not withstanding.
After that Hannah and Brett are getting married! So we have been a little busy around here. In between these two events is Halloween though and I have been working on Chloe’s costume…she will be a princess this year, and Atticus is going to be a dragon (as if he could be anything else??). I am excited to get to see them in their costumes, and to let Chloe eat candy…I will have to test it first though, to make sure it tastes good 🙂
Atticus finally got a hair cut! His hair no longer blows in the wind :). I’ll take a picture of that too. He is getting to be such a big boy.

I know…its JULY!
July 16, 2009 by christian
So with adding a second kid, we are doing good to just take pictures! I was thinking the other day about this blog, and the fact that we haven’t posted in a while…so here I am.
I had to log in as Ben because I couldn’t remember my username or password. So in case ou were reading this and thinking “This doesn’t sound like Ben”, it isn’t.
Ben is reading a story to Chloe and I am waiting for my turn to go up and say goodnight. Atticus and Chloe both have birthdays this month…so our house is swirling with activity. We are getting ready to have a double party. Chloe is very excited. She is going to have a pink monkey on a purple cake. Atticus will have a green dragon on a blue cake. I have to admit I will be happy when the party is done.
I thought since it appears that we are not posting as often as we would like…I will just post some highlights from the past couple of months.
1. Ben came downstairs one morning with a splitting headache. Chloe asked what was wrong, so Ben told her and then asked if she would pray and ask Jesus to take it away. So she did. Then after a second she looked a little disappointed and she turned to Ben and said…Jesus said NO! It was hilarious!
2. Atticus is trying to walk. He is climbing the stairs, and everything he can put his hands on. He is scaring me. He has also been teething something fierce. He has six teeth, and is trying to get more…hopefully they come soon.
3. Atticus started saying uh oh. His favorite thing to do is throw things on the floor and say uh oh. We can only play so much of that game before the object disappears.
There is so much more that goes on. Between dishes, laundry, cleaning, working and wiping sludge and slobber off of everything, I cannot remember every cool thing that happens. That, actually is a bummer because there is ALOT of cool things that happen and make me laugh. That makes all the sludge worth it.

Ch, ch, ch, changes
March 20, 2009 by ben
We have had a ton going on the past few weeks. I, Ben, resigned from the church and took a job a small valve company. We also has a crazy offer by an ex-neighbor to buy our house. So… We move next weekend. I will try to post picks of the new house as soon as I can get in.
News on the kids:
Chloe is getting more and more articulate. She is very aware of what is going on and constantly asks what we are talking about. It has made our conversations much more difficult.Atticus really really wants to walk. When he sees other kids playin he gets super excited and starts flapping his arms. Maybe he will fly soon? He is still drooling a ton.

Rolling Down the Street
February 21, 2009 by ben
Here is a shot from our walk this afternoon. Atticus is growing like a weed. We have had a relaxed Saturday so far, which is rare. Lots of changes coming to Camp Weber. I, Ben, resigned from my job this week after being on staff for over 8 years. I am more emotional about the change than I expected, but I think we have made the right decision. I will begin my new job mid March as a project manager at a small company. I am excited and hopeful for the future.
On the up side… Christian is scouring the internet looking for a house for us. She is determined to move to a bigger house this year. The rest of us don’t have strong opinions. We went driving around this morning after breakfast and ended up looking at houses that required me to win the lottery. Wishful thinking at this point in our life.
I changed some stuff up on the site, more changes are to come. The media page is all new, check it.Category Uncategorized | Tags: | 1 Comment
