Daniel's Birthday and other surprises

Well it was Daniel's birthday and he said he wanted blue barn cake, green balloons and a back hoe trailer. He got green balloons in his room, and a basketball hoop and then he turned to Jason and I and asked

"Did anyone remember to get me a backhoe?" That kid. Here are some pics from his special day of turning three.

 


So I was determined to make the cake from scratch and so I did. I made two, one chocolate and a "yellow" cake that obviously did not turn out yellow. Putting the cake together had a few snags. The chocolate was not as thick as the yellow so the cake was slightly to very lopsided. Daniel, who helped me put it together, ate a huge amount of the chocolate cake and thus the layers were all messed up.

 


 


 


 


We went to the farm the day after his birthday because it was warm. He loved climbing in the tractor.

 


Alice liked all the animals. Not so sure about the goats but she will make a "goat" noise when asked and heavily prompted. The cow took the most interest in her and the stroller and freaked Daniel out when he started licking the stroller. Cows have long tongues.

 


Daniel had such a long couple days that even eating dinner was too much. He barely made it on to the chair.

 


Since then Daniel has been asking to have friends over non stop. Eventually I have deduced that he is convinced that if friends come back to his house that he will get more presents.

I would have never known that you had so many problems getting the cake together. It turned out SO cute and good too. I just wish I could have eaten more ;) Thanks again for inviting us and for catering to my daughter. You guys are swell!

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...
