Things I love about my kids.....

I of course think my kids are super cute, although Daniel can also be absurdly annoying. But recently I have been more in tuned to my blessings and would like to share why I love my kids.



Daniel
1. I love his enthusiasm for life. He wants to see, touch, and feel everything.
2. I love his ability to love the ridiculous things in life. Such as the plane part at the end of Toy Story 2. Or Dad making a silly noise.
3. I love that if we are in the car and Alice starts fussing he says "It's okay Alice, we're almost there. It's okay Alice no need to cry."
4. I love his "squeeze it" hugs.
5. I love that he loves saying prayers and reading scriptures. In fact about two days ago he said his very first prayer on his own. He remembered to say thank you for things and then blessed Alice. It was amazing.
6. I also love how much he loves my mom. He asks to go to grandma's at least every other day.
7. I love how much he loves music. Although he is very particular about what songs he wants to hear and for us to sing....I hope he always loves good music.
8. I love that he loves to read.
9. I love that he still naps.
10. I love that he loves muenster cheese, pepper on everything, avocado enchiladas, udon noodles with extra soy sauce, and all the other good food that he eats.



Alice
1. I love that she learned how to laugh this week.
2. Much more than with Daniel I love dressing her up, she really is my little 10 lb. doll.
3. I love that she smiles when Daniel sings to her and talks to her.
4. I love that she loves Jason and will look for him until she finds him.
5. I love that for the most part she sleeps from 10 until 5.
6. I love all her hair and that on most days it sticks up everywhere.
7. I love that she loves to play with her toys.
8. I love her long fingers and toes.
9. I love her face when Daniel holds her.
10. I love that soon since we bought a house that she will no longer sleep in my room.

This is also one of Alice's new tricks. She likes to hold the book you read to her.

That was a fun list. Something I should do right now when I want to pull my hair out. LOL. Your kids are cute and reading about Alice makes me think how crazy it is how much kiddos change the first 2 months! It makes me excited - I also hope my child sleeps that long at night soon ;)

What a great tribute to your children. I spent the evening in the ER with Dani (just a cut on her eyelid...) and am also finding myself counting my blessings. Children truly are our greatest joy!
Congrats on the house! When do you move?

Sewing Quilts with Daniel

Daniel is not one to sit still very often at all. My parents say that he is totally my son and that I drove my mom crazy too but frankly I can't remember that far back. There is one thing that Daniel loves to help me with, and that is sewing. He loves the machine and loves to sit in my lap as we sew anything. Sometimes I think about just sewing straight lines down my endless supply of fabric because I know he will sit still for awhile. A few months ago I had a good friend show me how to make rag quilts. The first one that Daniel and I sewed together was for my niece Abigale. Then of course I had to make one for my nephew Joshua. Then I decided to make one for Daniel. I was going to make a transportation one, full of trucks and planes and boats, but when I took him to the fabric store, much to my surprise and delight he chose dragons over the airplanes. So we started his quilt last week. He sat on my lap or next to me while we sewed every piece together. He was so excited ...

Sitting Up

Alice has begun sitting up. She can sit for about a minute on her own and then for about five minutes supported. Grass is also her new favorite thing and she will grab the blanket that she sits on and move it so that she can grab the grass. She can currently pull of fist fulls of grass with no hesitation. Although she did face plant in the grass and decided that the grass was not where her head should be. Daniel loves raspberries. He loves to run outside and pick raspberries straight from the bushes. Then he loves to run around the yard at grandma's house screaming. Alvin the dog is actually more afraid of Daniel than the other way around. Our house is coming along and hopefully within the month so we can get more settled. Yellowstone was a successful trip and our kids had a blast. Daniel could not see out the binoculars so eventually we just started pointed out animals that he could see on his own which were: buffalo. Good things seeing four million buffalo was exciting...

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...
