the new cult......

Well we did it. We drank the kool aid and we did it. We went back and forth - talked about it, hemmed and hawed and figured, but then we just downed it and now we're a part of the new cult. The "camera" cult. Yes it's that new cult no one is talking about because no one wants to admit they've joined too - but alas ladies and gent's - its ok to shout it from the rooftops - "I BOUGHT ONE OF THOSE NEW COOL REALLY AWESOME CAMERAS THAT PRACTICALLY TAKES THE PICTURE FOR YOU EVEN THOUGH IT WILL TAKE ME FROM NOW UNTIL THE RAPTURE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO WORK IT - WE LOVE IT!"

So hence, if you see some really really good unedited pictures on here, it is purely by chance because Scott and I are still working on figuring out what we did or didn't do to get the good picture!

ps - cute kids were not included in the camera package - you have to go get your own!!!!

Don't say it - I know.

Hi! My name is Stephanie and I am the author of this blog called Wegner Post.  But you wouldn't know that cuz I have been MIA for forever.  So sorry chaps - but here's one for old times sake!

What's been happening? Well.... Let's see.   We had a really nice Christmas - just quiet at home Christmas.
Kids are getting so big - like crazy big!

 August - 4 - his most favorite thing to say right now?

" Mom - you're a dork!"

 No kidding that's his favorite thing - course I have to give him the eye every time and he quickly changes it to "Mom - I'm always a dork" to which I say "yes you are - just like your mom!" 

  He is definitely a very serious boy and I'm learning that I have to be very careful how and what I explain to him.  For example - don't try to explain to a 4 year old who thinks too much that when you die and if you have Jesus in your heart, you get to go to Heaven.  If you do, you will hear the this sentance "Mom, I don't like Jesus -  I don't want to go to Heaven." and when asked why - it's because he thinks he's going to have to be taken away from Mom and Dad.  Yep - lesson learned there - will not do that again.  At any rate - he is my little "Wii" man.  We've taken to doing a coin/star system that is working like a charm for him to do his "routines" and being rewarded although I think I'm gonna have to change up some of his "routines".  We'll see.  At any rate - he's my man!

  Just loving every day with him because he's almost to that age where I can joke with him and he doesn't take it too far to then irritate me.  ALMOST!

 Then........there's this one.  Isn't she a cutie tootie?  Its amazing to me how fast the time goes by and they are big now.  Man it goes fast.  Well let's see - this little miss is so different from her brother but of COURSE everything August does - she has to mimic so I am constantly in a state of hysterics because she is doing EVERYTHING he is doing - saying every word, dancing like him - etc.!

 This is her favorite pasttime - which equals - lets pull all the toys we can out into the kitchen right before mom has to cook and play babies, dressup and whatever else we can find all while she is trying to cook dinner.  Then when she's ready to go clean the bedroom, we'll move all of it in there while she's trying to clean!  That's a fun game!

 I always knew they were laughing at me!

 She turned 2 this month - hopefully I can get a few pictures of that up here on a seperate post but don't hold your breath cuz I'm not promising anything!  We just had a nice family party together and it was so fun.  Scott's Aunty from Hawaii came up here this month and has been with us for a few weeks.  So she was here for Grace's birthday.

 She is a big girl now and wears big girl panties - only "protectors" at night time.  She rarely has an accident....unless its when we've forgotten to ask her if she has to go and Scott just happens to be carrying her to the car and she says "potty daddy" while she starts to pea on him!!! Haaaa haaa haaa! What's really funny is that if any of you REALLY know Scott - you know that this was like the end of the world.  He cannot stand poop, pee, dirt, throw up, etc. to be on him and so he of course was flipping out while I am quietly laughing on the inside because it's just one of those things!!!

 She talks non-stop and you can understand 90% of what she is saying.  I need to record her because she's so stinking funny. 

Ain't she a cootie bug?

Well - I will bore you with more details later - but for now, at least you know what the kids are doing.  I have lots I could blog about, but I have to get my blogging mojo going!!! HOpe you all are well!



Ok Can you believe it AGAIN?

I think this is a first for my blog my fellow bloggers .  My husband actually posted on here!!!! Not once but TWICE!  Ok and I think after reading his initial post and making him edit it - I am convinced he flunked written communication in college - either that or he LOVES an inside joke and leaving everyone to figure out what it's supposed to mean!  At any rate - I will not complain!  He is so excited about doing these little videos that I will not be sad - he's capturing some great memories and putting them together in one spot!  So now on one post instead of posting 18 pictures separately he is posting about 30 or more! Whoo Hoo! (Course I wouldn't want to have to spend the time to put the video together either so THANK YOU DEAR!!!)


We had a really nice Christmas and as you can sort of see, we had family and friends over for Pizza on Christmas Eve - we played some games and overall had a blast!  Then after everyone left, Scott and I put the house back in order and he brought out all the presents we had hidden in the bedroom and I set the table and got breakfast ready for the next morning.  We didn't get done until about midnight and then Scott flopped in bed.  I was just about ready to go get ready for bed when I thought - "I need to unwind a little and not have to think".  So I called my mom.  Now all you moms out there - don't get mad at me!! She is up at that time of night!!!! She delivers newspapers so I knew she'd be out and about and probly needing a little stimuli to keep her awake.  I was only planning on talking for a few minutes cuz I knew the next morning was going to be a little crazy, but we ended up talking for TWO hours!  The next thing we knew - mom was telling me "well I just pulled  in the driveway so I should probably go!" (meaning she was finished for the night which is totally awesome!)  Ok - here comes the senitmentalism (is that a word?) - I think that was one of the best Christmas Eve's I've had in a long time - not just because we had fun with friends, but because I got to talk nonsense with my mom for 2 hours with NO interuptions.  It was WONDERFUL!  And mom - I know you're reading this - that was the best Christmas present you could have given me and I thank you!

Ok - on to the next morning - Grace woke up with about a 103 degree temperature and was not feeling the greatest all day (bummer for her).  But overall - we had such a nice day!  The kids did really good and enjoyed being able to open their gifts finally!  We had a late breakfast/lunch around 11:30 and it held us over until later that evening when we went to Mr. & Mrs. C's for dinner and games.  It was so much fun!  And of course the kids love going over there!  Can you believe though? We didn't get any pictures after about 11:00 that day! Silly us!

Now I'm sitting here - Monday afternoon - this is the third time I've edited this post (because I haven't had time the previous 2 times to finish it!) and my tree is in the front yard, the decorations are in the box waiting to be put up in the attice - there are about 4 loads of laundry sitting on the couch - 2 folded and 2 waiting to be folded, 2 kids screaming "stop it" at each other and about 2 trillion toys scatterd across the living room floor.  I think I'm going to start screaming in about 5 seconds so I will slowly breath in...........breath out.........and finish this post with "I truly hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas!"

(More pictures to come.........really!!)

Wegner Christmas 2010

Another Guest Post by the husband--Attached are some pics I put together of Christmas.  Enjoy the slide show.

Christmas Play 2010

Guest Posting--August's Children's Church Christmas Play on December 19, 2010.  I put this together on my Netbook so the pics are a little grainy and it is really, really, really basic in terms of photo editing.  I hope Santa buys me a real computer :-).  Scott

Is it possible?

Yes it is my friends! You are going to laugh at me! Either that or kill me for all the typos but I am blogging from my IPod! Is that totally geeky or what? Now I have to say it's not as easy as doing it on the computer but I guess a this point and with my terrible blogging track record - anything is better than nothing!

Keepin it short for this post but I have to say I am totally cracking myself up right now! hope I am cracking you up too.....ok if not just go easy on me here--I am easily amused!

Ta Ta bloggy friends!

Hello Firends.....

Do you remember me? Do you remember my kids? Ha - thats a surprise considering I have meen MIA for the last two months!  I think I get the terrible Blogger award this year.  Not been so good with it for sure, but I'm not excusing myself and considering I only have 15 minutes until I have to get my buns moving on to my next project, I will just leave you with some pictures of my little lovlies and a few little comments along the way to let you know what we've been up to!

We went to a Pumpkin Patch and would have rode the train there about a million times if we had a million dollars.

Stephanie picked the grossest looking pumpkin she could (hello....what was I thinking???)

We got to have an awesome visit with these weirdos...... Love you guys!

And these weirdos too (love how Madi is like "don't touch my hair!!!) (Aren't Trev and Alyssa so grown up?)

Little Miss with her "little" pumpkin.

We had Red Velvet Cake for my birthday.......In August.....(I know I'm WAY behind)

and don't ask me why this came out sideways, but it's appropriate I guess because I don't have time to fix it.  We had a BLAST at Kahneeta for a weekend in September with Mr. & Mrs. C. Had a Bomb of a time - also for my birthday.  (Have I mentioned I am REALLY spoiled?) By the way - I am REALLY spoiled!

And that my friends is all I have until next time.  Stay tuned as Scott is in the process of possibly buying a REAL camera which may entail more posting and pictures......not promising,,,,,but just a possibility!

Toodaloo folksies!
