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.

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!
