Christmas

Well I have no pictures yet. Mostly because I am comfortable on the couch and don't want to get up and get the camera. Christmas was great though. Daniel didn't get up until 7:45, and then we waited until 8am to wake Alice up. Daniel was talking about his 'rocket ship from Santa' for weeks, like he already had it. Jason and I decided to hide it behind the couch instead of under the tree. Daniel opened all the presents and said, wow and cool at the appropriate times which was nice. Then he said, "well let's look around and find where Santa put my rocket ship." He was off and before Jason could grab the video camera he had found it. It was awesome.

We spent the whole day in pjs, Daniel played with all the toys and rarely bugged either of us, and then Alice (still sick) slept for four and a half hours during nap time. It was great. Also great was that since we had taken part of a dinner to someone in our ward, we had half or our Christmas dinner already made. So the day was relaxing and great.

Today we cleaned up some of our Christmas stuff. Mostly we are trying to organize our house and the Christmas crap, I mean stuff, was in the way. I am missing preschool terribly. Daniel told me that today was a bad day because I was cleaning instead of playing with him. I would love to have a bad day according to a three year old. Oh well.

Also exciting, today we went to Target. We were on a hunt, for the light up hippo that wears a santa hat. I love hippos and was so excited when I saw that but I didn't want to pay $45 dollars for it so I was really hoping we could get it today for 1/2 off. Daniel was enthralled with the "hunt" of the light and thanks to a very tall man, we got the last one off the top shelf. Hooray!!!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Now THAT sounds like an awesome Christmas day for sure! I have had to gut out my house and reorganize to make room for Christmas stuff and we didn't even buy them but 3 things each! Jeesh! I am also missing preschool. Next week can't come soon enough!

I am so glad that Daniel got his rocket ship. I didn't want to face him again if he didn't.

Man I wish I had seen this hippo so I could go bargain shopping for it too. I love hippos too.

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...

Nothing like people to ruin your day.

Alright so last week we found out that our condo was put up for sale. Jason looked up the sales price, quickly realized that is was pretty low and we feared for the type of people that would be coming through to view our condo, we were right to fear. Usually I am pretty easy going and try to be accommodating but somethings are unbelievable. So these people put in an offer on our home and then the husband wanted to come check it out so their agent and our agent agreed on a time. We thought, okay they'll be here what like a half hour? So Jason and Daniel went to look at homes for us and I stayed here to watch the show. The husband proceeded to test each outlet to see if it was hot, then he was looking in the attic space, then messing with the fuses and air conditioning. He was the first to show up so we thought, ok, this is going to be alright. Ten to fifteen minutes later someone else knocked on the door. There is this lady with three kids and a pizza box. She mumbled some...
