Daniel's Birthday


I guess I have taken a blogging vacation. Probably because I would rather clean my house right now than do anything else. But I wanted to share some funny pictures of Daniel's birthday before I have a new baby to blog about.

Daniel's birthday was March 19th and he got a small train set which he loves. Then on that Saturday we had a small party for him at the park. He didn't want cake so we had muffins for dessert and yes I was wrong, most people wanted the chocolate muffins instead of the ones I picked out. My parents came and manned the slide with the kids which was awesome considering all the other moms that showed up were pregnant and that just makes playing on the playground with your kids kind of miserable. Daniel is concerned that I can't go down the slide with him anymore, he always wants to sit in my lap and go down but there is no lap to sit in at the moment.



Needless to say none of the kids wanted to stop playing and eat or open presents. I can't remember how we enticed them but it must have been good. Some highlights of that scene were of course that the wind picked up freezing us out and making it impossible for the candles on the muffin to stay lit. Also that he was more interested in the cards that sang a song than anything else until he opened a shovel and rake for "his" garden. I think we had a good time overall. The only down side was that Daniel cried all the way home saying "please go back to the park, the big park. PLEASE!"

Happy Birthday to Daniel! Sounds like a fun little celebration! Hope you are doing, well- was well as can be expected in this miserable point in a pregnancy. Let us know as soon as the baby arrives! Good luck with everything!

It was a fun party and yes I was very grateful for your parents playing with the kids on the slide..well, for the short time my kid actually played on THAT playground. LOL. Anna walked in while I was reading the post and said - 'Happy Birthday Daniel! I give him present and we play on the play ground' So obviously she remembered and had a good time.

Too bad she was such a stinker when you guys came over the other day. Sorry I didn't get back with you yesterday. I was walking out the door when you called and it has been crazy ever since. So just write my last name in her clothes. Thanks again. It was so good to see you guys. I will call you soon so we can make a trip up there.

Holy long comment. Maybe I should have just called you! LOL.

Whale Watching in San Francisco

My sister and her family came all the way from Idaho to visit us. Naturally we had to take them to the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a typical July day, foggy, freezing, windy and crowded. We battled people on bikes and with strollers and the wind to walk onto the bridge. We had just made it to the first tower when we noticed a whale watching tour boat and joked about how cool it would be if there was suddenly a whale that came out of the water. About ten seconds later, A WHALE CAME OUT OF THE WATER! It didn't ever do the complete National Geographic flip over or show it's tail, but there was a Humpback Whale feeding, and it kept coming up to eat. It was amazing. AMAZING. We spent almost 40 minutes watching the whale, possibly whales at the time. There was one in particular that came over, right below us the kids could all see it, and it was so close we could see the barnacles on the mouth, and it rolled and was putting on quite the show for us. It was an amazing sigh...

in case you have not heard

Baby Webb #3 is on the way. Here the baby is. We are going to try to be strong and not find out the sex at the ultra sound. So if you have an opinion, about the sex, feel free to share it. I am sure Jason will put a vote up. So far he wants names like "gunner" and "ruby." I told him Gunner might not go so well with Alice and Daniel, but who am I to stop an opinion? Oh wait. I was sick off and on for a few weeks but feel pretty good now. This is the baby at 10 weeks. We are about 13.5 weeks today. Due the end of February. I guess if we are lucky it could be a leap day baby. Daniel saw the baby in the ultra sound and was totally not surprised. His comment was "is that the baby I knew was growing in your tummy?" Alice was disturbed and cried and didn't eat for about two days. Then Daniel reminded me of a few months ago when he heard a voice from heaven telling him we needed another baby. He told me that "heavenly father w...

Easter

My mom and dad invited us all kids to Easter at their house. Most of us made it. They had a whole weekend of fun planned for the kids. Thanks to mom and Tiff. The kids made bunny ears and little ducks and bunnies. They decorated cookies and played with cousins. My kids had so much fun. Then we had a wonderful easter egg hunt in which we found all but one easter egg. Daniel of course tried to get all the eggs before the other kids even realized what was going on. Alice did pretty good collecting eggs. Abby and Steph looking at their goodies. This is Alice in her adorable new dress. Thanks Steph!
