I really should wake my kids but...

My kids are sleeping and I am slightly bored. Not that there is a lack of things to do at my house. I could clean, put away laundry or do the dishes. I could even make dinner, ha! I even called Jason at work to chat. What a day.

We find out on Friday how our little baby is doing. Jason and I have decided not to find out the gender of our baby, but I love to hear guesses and name suggestions. Unless of course we are having twins, which for some reason both Jason and I find ourselves dreaming (nightmaring) about. I guess we will get to find out soon.

Summer has officially ended over here as has Jason's job in American Fork. He switched jobs in September and we are still getting used to his new commute. He works in Orem now and is liking it ok. New jobs are always hard. We are grateful that even after the switch in insurance we did not have to change doctors for me. Hooray!

Daniel is still playing soccer, it ends this week. He has scored two goals this season and has made huge progress, considering we did not teach him before hand anything about soccer. He still likes to pull out his mitt and play catch with mom everyone now and then. He keeps bugging me about swim lessons.

Alice is officially a 2.5 year old girl. The drama queen reigns here I am afraid. Some days she cries non stop and at everything. It is horrible. But on days where she is happy and cute and doesn't try to beat Daniel up, she is a joy and a wonder. She loves to play outside and eat blue yogurts and cookies and ice cream. Her and Daniel could eat us out of house and home when it comes to pears and raspberries, and they are obsessed with pumpkins right now. Anyone have a good pumpkin cookie recipe?

I do have to say Alice is trying to learn to go potty in a potty. After hours and hours and days and days of sitting her on the toilet, she has still yet to pee. We have however soiled and soaked numerous pairs of underwear. I thought potty training Daniel was hard. If she didn't know how to take her diaper off and love sitting on the kid potty I would not even bother. So here is hoping one day soon she gets it. Last night she sat on the potty and washed her hands, I picked her up and she saw herself half naked in the mirror. I said "who's bum is that?" She did not answer but looked confused. I said "is that Alice's bum?" She said "No, T rex bum."

I hope Alice's bum looks better than a T Rex bum. Your kids say the funniest things. Good luck with the potty training. And . . . I still think it is silly not find out the gender. It's just as much a surprise now as it is a surprise after hours of labor when you won't even care because you'll be too tired and grouchy.

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...
