Ten minutes and counting

I have ten minutes until Daniel's quiet time is over which means the insanity will start soon. Daniel is having a hard time lately. One of the girls in his preschool class is mean to him, he never wants to go to church anymore because it is boring, he always wants to go to Grandma's house, and he whines constantly.

Alice is talking more and her favorite things to say are "Daniel!" "Jason!" "Get down" and "Don't." She thinks everything is yellow or blue. But I just love when she yells at Daniel for me. She cries less and less everyday except when Daniel is mean to her which is becoming more and more frequent. Oh kids, they drive me so crazy.

Lately I have been hating winter. My kids are bored, I am bored and I hate taking them places because they are pains. They aren't the kind of kids that come when you call, they run and think it is super funny. I know I know, if I put them in the stroller it would solve some problems. But then I would have nothing to complain about.

We have survived two trips to Cedar City which was a big accomplishment on my husband's part. We are hoping to not have to return there for awhile, the drive is so horrible.

I should put pictures up but alas, the camera is on a different level of the house. My grandma turned 80 and we had a big party for her at Maddox! It was yummy and really fun. Alice screamed or cried in all the pictures we took, that was awesome. Daniel loved that we took pictures at the train depot in Ogden. He and his cousins played and played on those trains and then cried when we left.

Also we went to see Jason's sister get married. This was funny on two reasons. Daniel while the bishop was performing the ceremony kept saying "oh my gosh they are getting married, this is so exciting!" Then they had put out a big bowl full of dove chocolates which we didn't realize Daniel was eating so many until he handed me ten wrappers and said "I am all done with these."

We are awaiting the spring time and Daniel is counting down days until his birthday. If anyone has any space party ideas please let me know.

He handed me at least 10 wrappers too. Good thing he is young. No wonder he didn't eat anything until 8 that night.

I'm feeling your pain. :) Ethan just had an alien party for his birthday. We set up an obstacle course where the boys shot aliens with a NERF gun. We made slime which was a TOTAL hit and pretty cheap. And I made these really cute UFO cupcakes. Let me know if you want the recipe.

Daniel sounds like Jackson I think he would like to live at grandma's house if we let him. I hope the mean girl at school starts to be nice, becasue you want him to like school.

Here are some fun space ideas:

I could probably copy and paste this post as my own. Gotta love being a mom sometimes. And what a fun theme for a party! I wish I had some ideas, but I am so not creative. Anything I do I probably googled and copied :)

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!
