World's Strongest Weller Child Competition

Jace and Mackenzie duke it out during the first annual World's Strongest Weller Child competition.

Chapman Rebuilding - August 2010 Update

Here's some footage from the construction efforts around town. They are still saying the schools will open in January of 2011, although this video will show it's still a long way from being finished. Still, it's nice to see progress being made.

Robby & Emily's Wedding

Thanks to the Haynes and Thurlow families, Mackenzie and Jace got to experience being a ring bearer and flower girl this weekend. Between riding on a hay rack, sweeping the bouquet and garter tosses, and learning the Cotton Eye Joe, they had a great time. Special thanks to Robby and Emily for including our kids on their special day (and for the cowboy hat)!

Thanks to Q and Amy Ellis, Jace and Mackenzie got to ride the waves on the lake by their house. Both of them did better than their dad. However, it was nice to see Jace showing some concern for me at the end of the video, because it was obvious their mom wasn't concerned at all...

Well, another year has brought even more enthusiasm to Chapman T-Ball. Jace and Mackenzie has a successful opener, as Jace had the winning hit and Mackenzie scored the winning run. Now if they could only tone down their congratulatory high five...

P.S. Nichole wanted the profanity out of the video, but hey, it wouldn't be "Major League" without at least one cuss word.

Mackenzie's Dance Recital

Mackenzie had her year end dance recital in Junction City. Last year she did tap dance, and this year she decided to do ballet.

I have no idea if this is considered good ballet form, but she looked pretty good to me! Then again, they've been practicing the same dance all year long, so she had better be good! Her favorite part wasn't the dance but getting flowers from her mama and papa!

Mackenzie the Magnificent

Mackenzie the Magnificent puts on her Magic Show!

Chapman Rebuilding - March 18, 2010 Update

Includes high school, middle school, grade school, and Methodist Church updates.

To Infinity and Beyond!

Jace shows us that Buzz Lightyear apparently has a secret hatred of frogs.

Mid-Winter Camp-out

Our backyard camp-outs have had to be put on hold during the winter months, but that hasn't stopped Mackenzie and Jace from finding alternative ways to "rough" it. They solved that problem by setting up this tent in the basement and now have spent two nights sleeping in the wild blue yonder.

The good news is they have a lot of fun playing together and whispering/giggling to each other after we tell them it's time for bed. The bad news is 6 a.m. wake up calls have been the norm the next morning, so we may have to take the tent down for a while!
