January Crazies

My kids are either really feeling the winter cabin fever or just wanting to drive me crazy. My guess is both.

Alice is finally starting to talk more! She says "hewo? (hello) Bu-bye, and uh-oh," all the time it is so cute. She says more but I doubt anyone needs an absolute play by play. Daniel is finally starting to eat more than she does which is amazing. Their love of avocados has been renewed and we can't keep enough of them in the house. Alice is loving her bracelets that she got for Christmas and carries them in this little purse which is really cute. She also loves getting her hair done, but I am not so sure she loves that or just really likes to stand on the chair in my bathroom and play with the lights.

Daniel is doing so good in preschool and is starting to read. The other day he sounded out "s, a, t....snake!" Not quite, but sometimes he gets it right. He wants to go to preschool everyday and I wish he did, but mostly we are glad he loves it.

We renewed our pass to Thanksgiving Point so if anyone is up for the Dinosaur museum let me know. My kids love it there. Who are we kidding, so do I. I think the dinosaurs are so cool.

The big shift in the house is almost over. The basement room has become the craft/toy area while Jason moved his office upstairs. Many trips to IKEA and a few weeks later, the house is almost put back together. Hopefully this week is the last.

Primary is still awesome! I love the Junior Primary, it seems so easy compared to Senior. I always feel slightly foolish in Senior, especially the weeks when I have planned badly and we end up singing the snowman song while like four of the kids stand up. Oh well. Deep down I think everyone likes being a snowman. Daniel is doing really well in primary and he sings the snowman song backwards which confuses all the other sunbeams who barely know the words. It is so funny. I am glad the focus this year is on the scriptures. I have been reading mine more frequently so that I am not such a slacker.

Shout outs to Nancy and Caleb on their birthdays this weekend! We sure love you guys!

I know what a worry it is when your kids don't talk. Just wait until you have to stop yourself and say.....oh yeah we prayed for this huh!
I love the snowman song BTW it is a favorite stand-by song for FHE.

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...
