Back In Business

2013-03-23T12:17:00.001-04:00

I don't think we have posted anything for over a year, but I'm back in blogging business. We live in different state now, if you didn't already know that. ;) Ethan made this Parkour Video for a school project and I thought what better thing to start my blogging comeback with? Sorry, I couldn't upload it directly, so please click the video link above!

We Have an Eight Yr. Old!

2011-08-14T23:42:00.000-04:00

What month is it?

2011-05-02T01:13:00.003-04:00

Juliette turned one and she's ready for school, now. She just needs to lose the binky first. ;)

We had a fun family trip out to Cali. We took a paddle boat out on the ocean. Good times!

Three out of six people pictured in the photo below had the stomach flu on our trip, but that didn't put a damper on our fun (but we are really sorry to our gracious hosts who we infected. Please come stay with us the next time you are feeling sick! ;)

January Wrap-up

2011-02-04T00:54:00.004-05:00

January has come and gone. 2011 has started off pretty great. Climbing in cupboards is her new favorite thing.

Hayley having a camp out with her doll. Plastic marshmallows and all.

Brandon found a creative way of keeping Juliette happy while he was mowing the lawn (I was out running. I am training for the Ragnar Del Sol). Yes, in Arizona we have year-round lawncare. Bummer!

Peek-a-boo. She's trying to wiggle her way out of the sliding door. Little sly dog. ;)

A picnic on the back porch. Such sweet sisters. ;)

I guess I uploaded too many photos of the girls, so I couldn't add the one of Ethan playing "Quidditch" so you'll just have to imagine him on a little stick horse running around trying to catch a ball that's whirling around the room because Brandon hooked it up to the ceiling fan. Good thing he didn't end up with a Harry Potter-esque scar from the whole thing.

I made some marmalade. Yum! Brandon has started interviewing for an Infectious Disease fellowship (Colorado, Utah, or California.... we'll let you know where we will be going for our next little stint. ;) That's it for now!

December Days

2010-12-12T00:36:00.002-05:00

Here we are workin' the ugly Christmas sweaters. My vest lit-up. Sad that the picture doesn't do it justice.

Here's Ethan workin' the Patriotic hat for his second grade performance.

Here's Juliette workin' her charm (and her big hairbow). ;)

Here's Hayley workin' her ballet ensemble at her performance. She's pretty flexible. ;)

Here's Mariah workin' her tutu at her little ballet show.

H-A-Double L-O, Double U-Double E- N.

Trick or Treat? Juliette hanging out in the candy bowl. Lots of little jack-o-lanterns. Before the Trunk-or-Treat

Super Baby

The only costume I made this year. (Mental note for next year: it's so worth it to just buy/borrow a costume!)

This ship has sailed

When the cat's away, the mice play.

2010-08-16T00:15:00.000-04:00

I left the kiddos at home with Brandon while I went to get school supplies. This is what they did while I was gone.

When I left she had a onesie on. Where are her clothes? Target practice on the baby? Oh my! ha ha ;)

No wonder why when I offered to have a nerf gun war with Ethan he declined and said, "it's more fun with dad."

School's back in session...

2010-08-16T00:09:00.000-04:00

The first day of school was Wednesday. Here's Ethan before his first day of second grade.

Hayley started Kindergarten (sniff, sniff). Atleast she's in half-day, so she's not gone for too much of the day! ;)

May Days

2010-07-02T15:22:00.000-04:00

In May she did a lot of this:

Mariah took some baths. I love this pic. of my little boy (I mean girl... is it just me or does she have a boyish look in this picture?) ha ha.

Hayley had her tumbling performance and preschool graduation.

Ethan finished up with 1st Grade and his amazing teacher, Mrs. Hyde, made a scrapbook for each student in the class! Here he is checking his out.

More baby pics....

2010-07-02T14:59:00.000-04:00

I was waiting to post these newborn pics. of Juliette until I had the birth announcements out. Needless to say, it's been awhile since these were taken, but my friend Lindsey did such a good job, I had to post them.

Trip to Cali....

2010-07-01T17:57:00.002-04:00

Brandon had some vacay days, so we headed to CA to visit family and friends. We had lots of fun at the beach.

Finding sand crabs.

Riding the boogie board.

Catchin' the wave.

Birth Announcements

2010-06-30T15:15:00.000-04:00

So, I've got tons to catch up on. For forever it seems I was working on sending out birth announcements. I had an idea to make the birth announcement like a driver's license. My friend, Brooke, used her graphic design skills and made it look beautiful! Here's Juliette's "driver's license"

Then I wanted to make a card to put it in to send it, so I made a wallet and put in a two wallet sized photos (one of her and one of our family, minus her).

Here's some of the stack......

more announcements. *I only send out birth announcements to family (aunts, uncles, grandparents... so, don't feel bad if you didn't get one. We are still friends, right? That's why I thought I'd post them on here so everyone could see.

The pictures for the announcements were taken by my friend Lindsay Bennett. They deserve a post all of their own, because she did such a good job.

First White Dress.....

2010-05-09T18:59:00.002-04:00

Last weekend was Juliette's baby blessing. It was so nice to have our family here for it (thanks for making the long drive, everyone!) ;) Here she is in her first white dress:

*these are actually re-takes, the actual day of she wasn't workin' it for the camera! ;)

This is the best doll ever!!!

2010-04-04T02:25:00.003-04:00

Hayley and Mariah are still working on the concept that their new baby sister is, in fact, a human being, and not a doll waiting to be posed, accessorized, serenaded and generally manhandled at every opportunity.

Week 1

2010-03-18T16:43:00.000-04:00

Juliette's first photo shoot.

Baby Juliette!

2010-03-12T00:55:00.010-05:00

After a long wait for a hospital room and the help of some baby juice, Webb kid #4 was born Thursday morning at 12:50 AM.

Both she and Danielle are doing great, and we're looking forward to bringing her home tomorrow.

We are planning naming her Juliette Danielle Webb. The tale of the tape was: 6 lbs 14 oz, 20 inches long, with a full head of black hair.

Ethan, Hayley and Mariah have been waiting for her to arrive with so much anticipation that they could hardly restrain themselves at the chance to hold her.

They got to visit the hospital twice today, and are fascinated with her miniature features.

More hair chronicles.....

2010-02-27T10:19:00.003-05:00

Since we're such big Calvin and Hobbes fans at our house, we decided to do a tribute to Susie Derkins and get Hayley's hair cut just like hers! ;)
Here's our little Susie:

She's not the only Susie look-alike these days..... I'm sporting a little chopped bob as well. ;)

Two Little Piggies...

2010-02-22T12:51:00.002-05:00

Brandon was helping the kids wash up for dinner and I thought they were taking longer than normal. Turns out, he and Mariah were playing "Beauty Shop". Here she is almost 2.5 yrs old with her first pigtails. Cute! ;)

Back shot: (put your hands up and spread 'em).

We went to the pool twice last week, and she's already a bronzed beauty! She's ready to be a big sister now, with her big girl hairdo.

Short and Sweet

2010-01-24T22:24:00.000-05:00

SHORT:
Here's a short summary of what we've been up to lately. Potty training Mariah before the baby comes (7 more weeks)!
Brandon fractured his knee cap and has his leg in a full length brace so he can't bend it and it has earned him the nick-name of Dr. Gimp at work. Poor guy, hopefully only 3 more weeks of wearing the brace, then physical therapy (best case scenerio).
Also, Brandon has been offered the position of Chief Resident, so that means we'll be here an extra year (2.5 yrs. to go) and we're happy about that and are excited to be able to stay a little longer because we are liking it here.

SWEET:
Hayley don't usually nap, but the other day she offered to nap to coax Mariah into it (such a nice sister). Usually Mariah sleeps on the trundle next to Hayley's bed, but when it was quiet I went in to check on the girls and they were asleep together on Hayley's bed snuggled under the blanket. So sweet!

I was dreaming of a GREEN Christmas!

2009-12-28T16:51:00.001-05:00

Just in time for Christmas, Brandon finished laying the sod in our front yard. Yipee, no white christmas here.... and I couldn't be more happy about it. The night the sod got delivered we were at a Christmas party and Brandon hurt his knee (it was some party :).... but, he is a trooper and limped around the yard anyways to get it done. Luckily, some guys from Church were driving by and saw his sad state and came out to help.

The girls were so excited to look out the window and see grass. They ran out in their pjs to go and celebrate. What a great GREEN site to behold! ;)

Child Labor

2009-11-15T23:01:00.007-05:00

Picked up a couple of temp laborers this weekend to help with the landscaping....

but the allure of a 10-ton pile of gravel was just too much in the end.

Actually, the best part of the day was when Ethan walked up to one of the real landscapers next door and said, with an authentic Dora the Explorer accent, Ola, como esta?

Muy bien, my little friend. Muy bien.

Fairies, Jedi and 7lbs of candy

2009-11-01T11:34:00.007-05:00

Pumpkin heads. This is the first year we let the kids carve and it went better than expected.

Halloween has come and gone. We had two Tinkerbell fairies and an Star Wars Clone trooper this year. They filled their buckets to the brim after just two streets in our kid-dense neighborhood. Ethan says he is going to save his until Christmas. We'll see about that.

Landscaping: Before

2009-10-25T13:42:00.000-04:00

Here are some before pictures from landscaping our yard. Trenching in the clay took ten hours. The sprinkler system is nearly in. I'll post more periodically.

The Latest in Toddler Fashion: Snot Sleeves!

2009-10-25T13:37:00.001-04:00

This video is pretty self-explanatory. Mariah has had a world class cold for a couple of weeks now, and recently discovered that her forearms are much more convenient than a tissue. Luckily we were cleaning out our old clothes and stumbled upon the latest in toddler fashion - Snot Sleeves. What more could one want from an accessory - chic, functional, and a complement to any outfit. Ok, it was pretty gross, but so are the oil slicks on her arms. *Note, the tighter the fit, the better*
