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.

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...

Easter

My mom and dad invited us all kids to Easter at their house. Most of us made it. They had a whole weekend of fun planned for the kids. Thanks to mom and Tiff. The kids made bunny ears and little ducks and bunnies. They decorated cookies and played with cousins. My kids had so much fun. Then we had a wonderful easter egg hunt in which we found all but one easter egg. Daniel of course tried to get all the eggs before the other kids even realized what was going on. Alice did pretty good collecting eggs. Abby and Steph looking at their goodies. This is Alice in her adorable new dress. Thanks Steph!
