Long time no post

There is a lot that has happened this summer. We enjoyed a great trip to yellowstone. The kids had so much fun and with all the late snow, we were able to see bears without binoculars! I would post pictures but truth be told, they are on Jason's computer and I have not yet retrieved them.

Also we finally are getting the back yard started. Hooray! Only three and a half months after we thought it would get started. They scraped a lot of rocks and weeds today and they didn't even break a machine beyond repair. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Alice is learning how to ride her trike and she loves it. She finally is talking and singing more which is great but holy cow! She is very loud. Especially in the car. Alice is also finally attending nursery with no complaint.

Daniel is still the man with questions. He is reading better and better and we are working on getting his numbers down and reading a clock. Our latest battle is still the ongoing battle with food. He still won't let anyone eat cereal around him. We finally agreed that he could eat like the "hungry caterpillar." This week he has tried cherries, applesauce, cabbage, and peaches. He hasn't exactly asked for more of anything but apples and raspberries. One day he will right? I still have hope.

We just got back from a week at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The kids loved Bear World and playing with the dogs. They helped us plant, well Alice really liked scraping the dirt out of the bag with her fingers and into a bucket. I do have some pictures of that but alas, they are on the counter still on the camera and I am sitting on the couch. There is something to be lazy right?

I am still doing music in primary and Jason graduated from "hall dad" to ward missionary. Daniel is adorable in primary except when he cries when I don't call on him. One day he won't do that right? All these things I keep hoping for right? Well I hope everyone else is having a fantastic summer just like we are.

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...
