Autumn Time

I know it is not truly Autumn time anymore but here is a catch up of what we did this autumn. First, the last three years we have gone to my parents in Idaho and picked apples. While there we also went to one the best pumpkin patches I have ever seen, in Idaho Falls. There were so many pumpkins, gords, and a train and maze for the kids. The kids loved it and to be honest, so did I.


Then we had a really fun birthday for cousin Josh. He turned three and they had put together these really cute ideas for pictures. Alice kept sneaking into other people's pictures which I thought was awesome. She loved holding up lips in front of her face. Daniel tried on the clown nose and kept it on for quite awhile. My kids are pretty cute.

For Halloween we had a small gathering of children over to make monster cupcakes and cookies. The kids had tons of fun and I think I would have had more fun except of course I was slightly disorganized. One day I will get with it, not for awhile though. Then we went trick or treating on Halloween and I was so glad that it was warm. Last year was so cold and my kids froze, but this year they made it through a huge part of our neighborhood. Jason was designated the neighborhood walker while I read a novel and answered the door. It was awesome.


Thanksgiving was a blah holiday around here. Jason was pretty miserable from having his foot cut into and I was exhausted. Jason's dad was nice enough to bring us a nice thanksgiving meal that was still warm when it showed up. We were very grateful for that. I was especially grateful for the wonderful pie my mom sent home with my sister and truth be told I have eaten most of it already. Eating too much pie is one thing I have decided to blame on the growing baby. We had much to be thankful for this year and are very grateful for the blessings that we have received this year.

There will hopefully be a following post soon about our already crazy and busy winter. But for those who are curious, Jason's surgery on his ankle tendons went well and he is recovering as well as we can tell. His doctor appointment tomorrow should bring more info on that. We are hoping he will have a working foot by the time the baby comes which is in about 12 weeks from now.

Mmmmm pie :) Halloween was GREAT this year with the weather, no? And 12 weeks?! That is crazy soon. Has it really been that long since I have seen you? We need to remedy that.

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...
