Alice Turns Three!

Way back in April it was Alice's turn to have a birthday. She is adorable. She of course wanted a butterfly birthday and the hunt for butterfly things began! Luckily Target had butterfly party stuff (score!) and ROSS had a few butterfly random things that little girls would like. So it was fairly successful. For her party I found in Women's Day a butterfly cupcake recipe from Bakerella. I figured I could certainly get those done, apparently I learned nothing from Daniel's birthday. Now we didn't want to go through the whole shabang of party but we realized that Alice has never had a true birthday party so we invited some friends and cousins over and she had a "real birthday" according to Daniel.

When the kids arrived at her unofficial party, the cupcakes were made, not frosted and the wings for the butterflies were being assembled. It was a step above the needing my sisters to frost things like at Daniel's party so I call it a success! While the kids played I finished up the cupcakes. They did not look as cool as the ones in the magazine but Alice knew they were butterflies and was so excited about them. She loved opening presents and had so much fun with "her friends." I can't believe my littler girl is three! And yes those are butterflies on her dress as well.




Here are three things I love about Alice:
1. When this girl is happy, it is magical. She lights up the whole room with her big eyes and happy smile and ridiculously cute laugh.
2. She loves her brothers. She calls Daniel "her Daniel man" It is wonderful.
3. I love that she loves to help me, she cooks and cleans and weeds and plants and takes care of her baby, all in stride with mom.

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!
