Oh BOY!

We're having a BOY!


Here is our baby boy sucking his thumb. We all crowded into the dark ultrasound room and watched him suck his thumb and yawn. It was so sweet and absolutely precious.

I'm Back!

I'm back and feeling good! Our family blog is going live again (finally) but I'm moving it back to the old url - wibelfamily.blogspot.com and I'm making it private. If you want to be added to my list of those who are allowed to view it please email me your email address and I'll approve you so you can continue to follow our blog. We'll be annoucing the gender of our baby in about a week so if you want to be in the loop be sure to get on the blog list!

My birthday - October 5th. 32 years!

Baby on the Way & Last Blog Post For Now

Yep, we're having a baby! Our third child is due next March and we couldn't be happier. Because of overwhelming all-day nasuea and tiredness and because school is starting soon, I just can't keep up with this blog right now. So I'm going to take a little break for now. I'll be adding pictures and updates to Facebook so please find me on there to keep up with what's happening in our family.

Anniversary Trip to Southern Oregon

Shane and I will celebrate our 10th anniversary this August! To celebrate we left the girls with my mom and headed to Southern Oregon to do the Farm & Wine Tour, attend the Britt Festival in Jacksonville, raft the Rouge River and explore Ashland and nearby towns. We had a great time and we feel very blessed to have had ten wonderful years of marriage. Although we've been married ten years, we've been together almost 17!

The highlight of our trip was a jet boat tour down the Rouge River. On our 4-hour Champagne Brunch tour we saw two bald eagles, osprey, blue herons, deer and lots of other wildlife. Shane wanted to sit in the very front row and since we had a driver who was intent on getting our boat wet, we got completely soaked. We loved it!

The brand new $2 M OK Coral built exclusively for guests of Hellsgate Jet Boat Tours. Here we enjoyed a delicious champagne brunch.

Our boat took us into the amazing Hellsgate Canyon (where The River Wild with Kevin Bacon and Meryl Streep was filmed)

Another favorite farm and antique shop on the Farm & Wine tour. This farm was recently featured in Country Living magazine.

At the Rouge Valley Creamery - stop one on the Southern Oregon Farm & Wine Tour. At the gourmet chocolate shop next door we tried chocolate covered bacon and it was... good!

Shopping in Jacksonville.

The Britt Festival in Jacksonville. We met up with our friend Jenni (Shane has known her since kindergarten and we had our first date in high school at her house) for a gourmet picnic and concert.

Another stop on the self-guided farm tour. We tried amazing cheese pates here.

The food and atmosphere at this quaint little farm restaurant outside Grants Pass was amazing!
