Christmas

Well I have no pictures yet. Mostly because I am comfortable on the couch and don't want to get up and get the camera. Christmas was great though. Daniel didn't get up until 7:45, and then we waited until 8am to wake Alice up. Daniel was talking about his 'rocket ship from Santa' for weeks, like he already had it. Jason and I decided to hide it behind the couch instead of under the tree. Daniel opened all the presents and said, wow and cool at the appropriate times which was nice. Then he said, "well let's look around and find where Santa put my rocket ship." He was off and before Jason could grab the video camera he had found it. It was awesome.

We spent the whole day in pjs, Daniel played with all the toys and rarely bugged either of us, and then Alice (still sick) slept for four and a half hours during nap time. It was great. Also great was that since we had taken part of a dinner to someone in our ward, we had half or our Christmas dinner already made. So the day was relaxing and great.

Today we cleaned up some of our Christmas stuff. Mostly we are trying to organize our house and the Christmas crap, I mean stuff, was in the way. I am missing preschool terribly. Daniel told me that today was a bad day because I was cleaning instead of playing with him. I would love to have a bad day according to a three year old. Oh well.

Also exciting, today we went to Target. We were on a hunt, for the light up hippo that wears a santa hat. I love hippos and was so excited when I saw that but I didn't want to pay $45 dollars for it so I was really hoping we could get it today for 1/2 off. Daniel was enthralled with the "hunt" of the light and thanks to a very tall man, we got the last one off the top shelf. Hooray!!!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Now THAT sounds like an awesome Christmas day for sure! I have had to gut out my house and reorganize to make room for Christmas stuff and we didn't even buy them but 3 things each! Jeesh! I am also missing preschool. Next week can't come soon enough!

I am so glad that Daniel got his rocket ship. I didn't want to face him again if he didn't.

Man I wish I had seen this hippo so I could go bargain shopping for it too. I love hippos too.

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...
