What's in a name??

I told myself that I absolutely would not post about this next topic because a post about it would definitely reinforce the longevity of it, but I've obviously caved! I've realized that fighting it is a losing battle and I might as well record it, so someday I can show my child how funky his dad is!!

The issue...
Thanks to our dear friend BRINTON, my husband has lovingly named our sweet little baby-to-be CLETUS!! Yep... Cletus the Fetus! Sick, sick, sick! Who in their right mind refers to their child as Cletus the Fetus?!? With out a doubt, Cletus is the most redneck, white trash name I have ever heard and you better believe that my man LOVES it! He tells everyone that will listen that our baby's name is Cletus the Fetus. Honestly, our poor child won't have a chance in this cruel world if it's nic-name is Cletus!! It will turn out like this...



Well, maybe not quite, but it's still horrible and I just know he's not going to let up until I threaten him within an inch of his life! I guess I should be grateful though, Chris has been super cute about the whole pregnancy thing and is even pretty excited, which is huge for those of you that know my man! And so, much to my utter dismay, my sweet little peanut is (and probably will be for awhile) now known as Cletus the Fetus!!

*** Don't you worry Brinton... I'll get you back someday!!

I just wanted to post a quick note to say thank you to all of you wonderful friends for the incredibly sweet comments about our baby to be! Chris and I are so grateful for this little miracle and are so blessed to have so many amazing people to share it with! We love you all and can't wait to join the ranks as mommy and daddy!

5 weeks down... 35 to go!!

I really was planning to wait to announce this, but not more than an hour after we told my family, my little sis announced our news on her Facebook so I figured, what the heck, I might as well post about it! Yep... you guessed it! The Weaver's have a little one on the way! Crazy huh! I kind of feel like it's not real yet, but according to the ol' First Response, I'm definitely on my way to being a mommy! I was so nervous to take the test! I waited until Chris left the house that morning because I didn't want him to know I was doing it!
Scott and Pam Dana are so great! I called Scott and asked him to help me tell Chris he was going to be a daddy! I found this shirt online and had Scott print it for me and give it to Chris. Chris was a bit confused at first, but he caught on quick and was cute as can be about it! I know the shirt is kind of funky, but it was perfect for my man! He showed everyone at work and
ended up wearing it all night! (Just to my parents house! I don't think it will be making any public appearances!)
Scott also printed this onesie for me to give to my sister. It's her birthday this week so I wrapped it up with the note and told her it was an early birthday present! It took her a minute, but she got it and was thrilled! My mom and dad were both right there as she opened it. My mom was so dang cute! She was running around the yard trying to figure out what was going on! She was ecstatic! My dad was excited too, he's just too manly to hop around the yard!

Right after leaving my parents, we headed home to wait for Chris's family to come over. When they arrived, Chris answered the door wearing his shirt and I ran out of the kitchen with a balloon under my shirt. It was cheesy, I know, but they loved it!

So.. there ya have it! I'm havin' a baby! Whoo hoo!!

Memorial Weekend Pictures

Memorial Day Weekend!

For Memorial Day weekend this year, we packed up the car and drove up to Salt Lake for Derek Welling's wedding. Welling and Weave were companions in Tacoma and have been best buddies ever since! They are truly two peas in a pod! Our other best buddies, the Colburns, were able to fly up from Arizona for the wedding so we had double the fun! It is always such a blast to hang out with Brinton and Char! Charlotte is pregnant with baby #3 and couldn't be cuter! Monday, we BBQ'd at my parents with the Matt, Am and cute Dylan. We're so lucky to have such good friends that like to hang out with my family! Amber has been so sweet to my mom by letting her pretend that Dylan is her grand baby too! She is such a doll! We all just can't get enough of her. After dinner on Monday, we met up with Kristen, Tyler and Ry for a little Cold Stone. It's always so fun to hang out with them! Ty is hilarious with his mountain man beard, Ryan is so stinkin' cute and Kristen is as wonderful as ever!! We're so blessed to have such awesome friends! We love you all and thanks for a fabulous weekend!! Let's do it again soon!

The first Tag!!

20 years ago...
1. I was 5 years old.
2. We lived in Cleveland, Ohio and my favorite place to be was my grandmas!
3. My hair was sooo long and thick! My mom would try to put it in the ol' side pony, which looked ridiculous! I wore matching socks with each school outfit and had hot pink Keds!

10 years ago ....
1. Lacey R. and I were inseparable! We used to make up dances to Janet Jackson songs and practice them in her living room! We also taught Scott, Jared Madsen, and Corey Ferguson how to "Panthera walk" and how to do axles! Scott had a "secret" crush on Jessica Debenham and referred to her as Luva Duva!!
2. I went back to Ohio is stay with my grandparents for the summer to earn money to pay for Pantheras. Lacey and I used to fax each other notes back and forth!
3. I met my cute husband at Jared Shakespeare's Pizza Factory birthday party.

5 years ago....
1. I was still miserable and writing to my missionary who was almost home!
2. I worked for City 1st Mortgage.
3. I had BRACES! Yep... I somehow managed to wait to do the braces thing until I was 19! It was crappy!

3 years ago....
1. Chris and I were loving life as newly weds!
2. Chris surprised me with my little Tobie! (He's not so little anymore though!)
3. Round four of the Tumor Chronicles was soon to begin. Surgery number four was in July and Chemo started in October!

1 year ago....
1. I was working from home and babysitting the most adorable baby on the planet... Emery Sage!
2. Was loving the summer break from school!
3. Ran the Hurricane Half Marathon with Amber and Char.

So far this year I have...
1. Survived two of Kevin Barret's classes at the college. Ask anyone that knows... it was a miracle that I made it out alive!!
2. Learned to put new bubblers in my yard and have re-planted and added lots of new flowering bushes to my yard. The old ones were sick!!
3. Made lots of new friends at my new job at Far West Bank.

Yesterday I...
1. Worked all day.
2. Went to a new restaurant in town and wasn't impressed!
3. Made my dogs "power walk" with me around my neighborhood because we all need the exercise! (I can only do it at night because I look like a fool!)

Today I...
1. Have been working all day.
2. Kissed my husband good-bye for the weekend. He's off to the Jazz game!
3. Will hopefully cut the grass, fertilize my plants, do some laundry, mop my floors, and play with my boys! I have to get lots done while Chris is away. When he's home, I don't get very much done! He's way too distracting!!

Tomorrow I will...
1. Touch up some paint, clean my carpets, and scrub my shower.
2. Sit in the sun and read my new book, "Vanishing Acts," by Jodi Picoult. I love her!
3. Brave the horribleness of Wal-Mart. I despise Wal-Mart but it's the cheapest place for so many things!

In the next year I may....
1. Finally get in shape.
2. Hopefully incubate a little Weaver!
3. Hopefully graduate from school! The ten year plan is the pits!

I tag... Kat, Lacey, and Amy.
