Christmas and beyond

I am not usually this bad at updating, regardless here is a quick recap of the holidays.

We bought aquarium passes on google deals and they have been worth every penny so far. Jason loves to take the kids there. Although I heard when they passed Thanksgiving Point on Saturday that Daniel was really concerned that we did not have a current pass there. The things kids worry about.
 
I took the kids to the live nativity in Alpine. With the help of my sister and bro in law and their cute little boy. We did not freeze but it was chilly. My kids loved it and we would totally go again. Alice loved looking at all the animals and Daniel asked all the Jerusalem shop keepers everything about what they were making. Alice also really liked the baby Jesus and if it wasn't for a gaggle of girls behind us who would not shut up I am sure I would have been more in awe like my little girl.
 
We took the kids on this boat ride on the Provo river where they had all these lights on the river banks to look at. Now my kids totally loved it and Santa came on a canoe and gave out candy and everything. They thought it was so awesome. It was ok for the price. We would definitely go again but with slightly lower expectations of the lights. But it was really fun.
 
This was Christmas. Daniel and I both had unexpected stomach problems and for a long time in the morning no one could even get out of bed. We opened stockings in my room and Daniel laid on the bed and slowly pulled out like half the stuff in his stocking and then just gave up. I have never been more grateful for new movies than I was on Christmas. The kids and I watched three movies and did nothing. We had our Christmas dinner on New Years and it all worked out in the end.

We had a lot to be thankful for last year. Jason's surgery went really well and so far has been cheaper than expected (hopefully when our last bill comes we will still think so). The newest Webb is expected soon, within the month, so hopefully that goes well and I will definitely post about that.

We absolutely loved having a pass to the aquarium when we lived there. It is so nice to have something to do out of the house. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

I can't believe you have less than a month left. Pregnancy goes by really fast when you aren't the one pregnant ;) Your kids need to know what rockin parents they have to take them to all those fun places. I am super lame. Which is why we indeed, need to get together. lol.

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...
