Mom....I was hit by a car!
Message on the phone: “Mom I’ll be home right away, sorry I’m late, I got hit by a car! Don’t worry I’m fine!”
So this is Aly telling you the story of the summer night of June 12, 2008:
I left Savannah, Aaron, Jenny, Tyler, Mom and Dad to watch “So You Think You Can Dance,” to go rollerblading. Almost to my destination, I’m caught by surprise as a car hits me.
So I call the house and finally get a hold of Aaron, saying, “Hey, tell Mom I’ll be late because I was hit by a car.” Aaron quickly gives the phone to mom saying, “Aly has been hit by a car.” A little panicked, Mom listens as I try to tell her that the car sped away. She asks a few questions and then quickly hands the phone to Dad. He gets on the phone and tells me to return to the accident site after I told him I was almost home. So, being the obedient daughter that I am, I quickly turned around and rollerbladed back to the scene, about 1 ½ miles away. In the meantime....
Dad gets up immediately with much concern and with Aaron, they speed off to help me. (Oh by the way... they have to PASS my car to get out of the street.) Dad gets on the phone with me to get directions...here is the conversation:
Dad: “Is the car damaged?”
Aly: “I don’t know, probably not? It wasn’t that bad.”
Dad: “Where are you?”
Aly: “Look ahead, I’m standing under the streetlight!”
Dad: “Where is the car?”
Aly: “I don’t know, it drove away!”
Dad: “Drove away? How did it drive away?”
( I point to my roller blades that are still on my feet and said)
“I DON’T HAVE MY CAR!”
Boy... you shoulda seen their faces... they might have bruises on their jaws they dropped so fast
Dena is now telling the story:
That’s when Brad calls me and says: “Aly was hit by a car, she was ON her Rollerblades!” I am quite shocked and turning to the others tell them that Aly, not the car, was hit! She is OK and Dad is bringing her home. We start to wonder how both of our detail men (being Brad and Aaron) could have missed the Stratus - Aly’s Car - as they drove off to her rescue. Only one answer...real love and concern for her....not the details of a car sitting in front of our driveway!
Once home and safe, we realize how lucky....no, how blessed we were tonight. Guardian angels were watching over our daughter! She could have had serious injuries or worse. She is bruised and will probably be quite sore tomorrow...but she is safe and home. Aaron helped her to call the police where they took a report. She didn’t have many details, so not much can be done. Tyler was disappointed that she didn’t whip out her phone and take a few pictures as the “criminals” sped away. All in a night at the Weech’s!

20 is a GREAT Number!!
20 you say? WHY?? Well, last night, Stephanie (my sister), called to tell us their good news! Yes, you guessed it! She is expecting her 5th baby! YEAH!! December 31st is the due date, but they are hoping for an earlier arrival date. They are hoping for a boy, but as of now, do not know which it will be. The number 20? That is the lucky number of grandchildren Grammy and Grampy will have! They are ecstatic!
Eeensy, Weeensy Spider....
OK...so Aly calls me this morning and says: By the way, Mom, there is a HUGE spider at the ceiling right at the front door. Just thought I would let you know. THANKS!! So Savannah and I go to the front and look:
Savannah starts to squeal and says...... "YOU need to get rid of it!!" I tell her she needs to help. We come up with a plan. It is a VERY big spider and if it moves, we are both going to go into cardiac arrest. So here is what we did:
Aren't we brave??
Of course, Savannah was 5 feet away from all the action, squeeling like a little girl. She is REALLY afraid of spiders, so I was very proud of her just staying in the same room!

Summer Begins
Our first summer FHE. Savannah bought a new tortilla press. We wanted to try it out with some yummy recipes I had from Char's store. So, we decided to have FHE over at Grammy and Grampy's and then remembered....it was their anniversary.
By the way.....
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to two wonderful people and 47 years of marriage.....WOW
So, we (the Weech Family) invited ourselves over to the Olivers...bribing them with good food and homemade tortillas. Of course, we didn't tell them that they were wheat tortillas and it was our first time making all this wonderful food. But they didn't mind and opened their home to us. By the look of the picture...you can tell the pool water must be a little on the cool side...the warm jacuzzi was the popular place to sit, visit and relax.
Thanks Olivers for letting us crash your pool and share our FHE with you!!
