Well Child Check Ups

Josiah is 3 years old! He had his well child check up yesterday and is a very healthy boy! He weighed in at 38lbs 4oz and 39 1/2 inches tall. Still in the 90th% for both weight and height.


Here's our boy sporting his faux hawk



Livi had her 7 month well baby check up yesterday also and brought smiles to everyone she interacted with. She weighed in at 19lbs 5oz and was 26 1/4 inches long.




We are praising the Lord for healthy kiddos!

Family Meeting

We had our first Weeda Family Meeting tonight and one of Hope's comments was the following...

"Joey threw his hard hat at my head and then he a-paul-a-mogized to me so I forgave him."

Catch Up...

Ok here's me catching up the blog. There has been so much going on with the Weeda's over the last month and I just haven't found the time to sit down and update the blog. Each of the events below should have had their own blog entry, but now they are crammed together in one. I hope you still enjoy the chance to peek into our lives...


Relay for Life 2009. This is my mom-in-law, Hope, me and Livia walking the track at Lynden High School in the rain...we were troopers!


On Father's Day we took a day trip over to Port Townsend. It was the kids' first ferry ride, which they loved. We did some window shopping, ate at a GREAT Pub, found a park, and played on the beach...it was a special day! Liva is 6 months old!!! It is so fun watching her little character develop, she is such a sweetie. She is our quiet observer who is full of smiles!Livia is now eating solid food and I am having so much fun making her baby food. Hope is a great help too (like always). So far Livia is loving everything we have offered her (Sweet potatoes, squash, avocado, mango, oatmeal and banana).


My girls! Hope wanted a picture with her sister since they were matching in turquoise.



Tan + Blonde = Summer time in the Weeda house.



On the 4th of July we went to downtown Blaine and enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Blackberry House, and watched the parade with friends.



Love her pigtails!


Livi slept through the entire parade! She's such a good baby!

The Color Pink & God's big ears

Hope and I went strawberry picking on Friday morning. The two of us picked 20 lbs. of strawberries in 45 minutes, I was pretty impressed. On our walk at the end of the day I noticed Hope's shoulders had gotten a little sunburned (totally mommy's fault for not re-applying sunscreen mid-day).

I said, "Oh Hope your shoulders look like they got a little pink today."
Hope replied, "I like the color pink. God knows I like the color pink. God has big ears. He hears everything I say."

Our God does have big ears and He does hear everything we say, how I love to learn simple yet such important lessons from my 4 year old.

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. Psalm 5: 1-3

"Because he loves Me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My Name. He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation." Psalm 91:14-16

June Fun!

Hope had her spring ballet recital





I turned 29 (wow) and Hope made my Birthday cake from scratch by herself. I read her the ingredients and taught her which measuring cup/spoon to use but, she did all the rest on her own. She LOVES helping in the kitchen!

Andy & Josiah got to ride in a hot rod!

Two Sinks...

Who needs two sinks in their kitchen? Doesn't that seem over the top and frivolous? Well today I had use for both of my sinks. The dishwasher was full of clean dishes, the "main" sink was full of dirty dishes and I had to hand wash my kitchen aid bowl to make cookies for tonight...hmmm. I used the second sink to do the handwashing, so I didn't have to take the time to unload the dishwasher, then load it with the dirty dishes from the "main" sink so I'd have room to do the handwashing. I was feeling stretched for time and decided against the long job. I did get to thinking about Laura Ingalls Wilder and how the times have changed. I was thinking if she needed a bowl that was dirty she'd have to go down to the nearest stream get some water in a bucket, bring it to the cabin, boil it then wash her dish...just some thoughts. I will continue to be ever grateful to our Father in Heaven for where we are, but also pray that I do not lose focus with the "extra's in this world". A good friend shared a thought provoking proverb earlier today, "Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil" Proverbs 15:16
