Crafty Pants

So, it has been a while since I last posted. I know. But I HAVE been productive. Since we found out the flavor of our Wee Webb, I have been sewing up a storm, making all sorts of adorable boy things. I promise they are all way cuter in person than in these photos, but here it is anyways.
My friend Amanda and I got sewing machines together last year and she helped me make some bedding.
We have the bumper pads--

The fitted sheet--

The quilt (soon, this will be all finished - photos of that to come)--

Oh, I forgot the dust ruffle- I'll post that when I get the quilt all done-

Then I thought, I'll make this boy a rag quilt--

I am going to go ahead and post this next photo totally guilt free. Go right ahead and judge me if you want, but I think it's cute. Wils is testing out the blanket for our little guy.


I had an idea, well, no, I totally 100% stole an idea for the nursery. My friend did this whole super cute tree thing in her sister's nursery and I asked if I could copy her. With her blessing, I made these little tree creatures to go in the branches.

But, now I'm not sure if I want to use them, I think I have changed my mind on how to decorate his room, we'll see....

One last thing, this is for you Mary Ann. Upon request, here I am in all my glory at six and a half months along. I totally feel like a high school girl taking photos in the mirror. Seriously kind of awkward doing photos that way, but here it is anyways...

Birthday Weekend

Well, my birthday started out pretty low key. I slept in and really didn't do too much. I ate lunch with Wilson and Oprah. I almost went on a run, but decided to give myself a pedicure and facial and soak in a bath instead.

Landon was able to leave work early and we made our way over to our official ultra sound appointment. At first it wasn't super easy to see, but by the end we got a real clear shot of our Wee Webb.

HE will be fantastic!

This is his little bum and legs sticking out. While we were watching him, he was laying on his back and reaching up to his toes, playing with his feet. He is already so cute and fun to look at, I can't even imagine what it will be like when he gets here. So far, he is about the size of a banana and weighs 13 oz.
We are super excited for this little guy. He will be a great addition to our family. I am, though, totally surrounded by boys. If I never have a girl, I am for sure getting a female dog! That is something I can control.
A long while ago, Mary Ann gave me a bag of baby boy clothes, yesterday, when I remembered about said bag, I broke it out and spread everything ALL OVER our living room floor. It got me super excited to dress this little guy. Favorite thing found in bag--- these.

How stinking cute!

Look how tiny!
Anyways, back to me..... :) My birthday was excellent. Landon took me shopping for some new running shoes and I was able to get some pretty cute (and comfy) pink ones. He also got me a Nike plus. I am so excited to use both of those!

Along with the running gear, I got some dang cute maternity clothes (Thanks Mom and Sandra)!
This next story doesn't have anything to do with my birthday, but it really was a highlight of my weekend. We were hanging out with some friends and wanted to go get a treat. They told us about this really good frozen yogurt place in Park City, so off we went. There was the most adorable chicka working there, she gave us samples of EVERY flavor and they were pretty good (nothing compares to Tummy Yummy). Anyways, when we were on our way out, she asked me if we were having a boy or a girl. That was the first time that a stranger has noticed I was pregnant and not just fat. I got teary eyed and gave her a hug and told her about our little boy. I'm pretty sure she thought I was nuts, but I really couldn't help it. She was just the cherry on top of my birthday split!
Well, here I am officially half way done with this job of growing a boy in my belly. Halle-freakin-lujah!

Bonito

So, spring break has come and gone. Being the first spring break that we are a part of the 'Real World' our vacation had a different feel to it. Usually, when we return home from Cabo, there is a sense of relief knowing that there is only a few more weeks of school left, then we get all summer to play. This year, Landon had his computer in Mexico with us and slipped in a little work here and there, on our return home, it was right back to the office. But our trip was fantastic all the same.



We went into town our second night there and ate at this most wonderful little place called Pepe's. They have this pork sandwich that is to die for. Out in the front of the store, you can see this huge slab of pork just roasting away waiting to be devoured by passers by. So Yummy!!

A tradition we have in Cabo is taking photos up at this beautiful pool that overlooks the whole hillside. Usually we have other Webbs there to take photos with, but our schedules didn't coordinate this year and it was up to me and Landon...


This is him doing some sort of pose that was pretty popular the whole trip and me showing off the Wee Webb.



Landon attempting to do the balancing pose with me. (I really missed you on this one Courtney!!)



Guess which one of us is pregnant?!? :)

We were lucky enough to invite some friends to come with us this year, so we asked one of our neighbors down here if they would come party in Cabo for a week.



This is Monique, she fell in the water. For any of you that know anything about me, you know that one of my favorite things is when someone falls. This really shows off how much I like when that happens.

The boys all signed up to go fishing for a day. I was happy to sleep in and miss that, but they got some really pretty photos from it...




Watch this video close, Landon got some good shots of the dolphins...



This was their little buddy that tagged along for some free treats. I named him Louie. I guess that he just plopped his chin right on the end of the boat and swam along while the boys all fed him.



Landon and our friend Nate each caught a tuna. Nate fried some up for us the next night and it was delish!!



This is the view from our room. The Beautiful Pueblo Bonito Resort. I. LOVE. THIS. PLACE.




This is a group of us at Desperados, such a good dinner!



Courtney told us about this treat place in the mall called Senor Sweets. The gelato there is so good.


I can't believe I am posting this, but it was just too funny not to. Here is the story... In the bathrooms in the Mall, they have these hand dryers. But don't be fooled, they are hand dryers on Steroids man!

See, that is my arm, it looks like it is going to blow a hole right through me!



I got this great idea to stick my face under it... please don't judge me.



What do you think of Landon's fashion foot wear for the beach?



We were hoping to find out the sex of Wee Webb before we left, but we weren't able to, so this note in the sand would have to suffice.



This is my pregnant sand babe.



What is a trip with out a few jumping photos?!?







These fine folks are my brother in law's parents. They were so funny!! He has hops for a white boy!!


Some other random photos.














So, that's it, Cabo 2k10.
Simply bonito.

Dear Diary...

Sometime recently, I had a conversation about blogs. It was mentioned that they are like our modern day diaries. Since then, I have really thought about it and I have to say, it is a good, GOOD thing that they are not, actually.
-You see, in my diary, I complain about people that may or may not be close to me. In my blog, some of those people may or may not read my blog- this could result in many a fight.
-In my diary, I write every little detail about the happenings in my life. In my blog, most people could care less about every single event or thought that crosses my mind.
-In my diary, I record not only the sweet little things that Lando does to win me over again and again, but also the super annoying things he does to really just bug me too. In my blog, I may make mention of this or that, but if I aired our all of that dirty laundry, home life would not be so sweet, probably.
I guess I am just saying, blogs are great and I enjoy reading other people's (for the most part), but if I replaced my diary, I would be friendless, have upset family members, and a husband who just might stop talking to me.
You know, this entire entry may be the total out of wack hormones this Wee Webb I have inside of me are producing, but in all honesty, I have in some sort of little way gone on my own form of bloggging strike. The only thing I have on my mind is this pregnancy and all of the ups and downs that I have been experiencing. I would love to get all of those emotions out in the cyber world, but then again, who cares. I know that I wouldn't want to read a blog about all of the crazy stuff going on in my head right now. So here I am, grateful I have a real life private journal to get all my crazy out in and for an over the top understanding husband to love me in spite of said crazy.

Wave Hello

So I don't really know how all of this works. This may only be fascinating to me and Landon, but just in case not, here it is. We had another ultra sound on Monday and our little baby was just a waving to us. I thought it was the most amazing thing.



Anyways, Happy Valentines Day All!!

-I am the reason Landon has eaten out every night for the past couple of months.
-I am about 1 1/2 inches long.
-I will meet your graces sometime the first part of September.

What am I?

A really cool experience

So, yesterday, Landon and I went to a funeral. It was the funeral of our sister in law's step dad. His name is Fritz "Frank" Heimberg. Frank and Madeline got married just a few months after Landon and I did and they were kind enough to invite us to their wedding. That in itself was a cool experience, you see, they were sealed by President Faust. Frank was a barber and he did a lot of the General Authorities hair, so that was really cool to meet Elder Faust. After the temple, we ate at the Lion House and it was delish!! (That was cool too). So, back to my original story, Frank passed away last Monday evening and his funeral was yesterday. Landon and I were a little late getting there, so when we arrived, we went into the viewing room and looked around for my family. I scanned the crowd and thought I recognized a face, but right after that, I saw my parents so we went over to talk to them. My mom quickly said, well, why don't you go meet President Monson? Yeah, that was the face I thought I saw in the crowd. Frank did Monson's hair for years and they were good friends. It was really cool to have him there. Landon and I went over to meet him and right when we got up to him, the bishop came over and started talking to him. We wanted to make sure we got to Madeline before the family prayer started, so we had to walk away from President Monson. The funeral was really really good. Every speaker was amazing. One of his grand daughters spoke and her talk really got to me. A home teacher spoke and he got to this part in his talk where he had a quote from President Monson and it was kind of funny to look over at his face. :) Then the Prophet got up and spoke for a bit. It was amazing! After the funeral got out, Landon and I took our chance to meet him. We went over and Landon introduced me as the best hair dresser this side of the Mississippi. We had a laugh about that and then President Monson put his arm around me and pulled me into him. Then he said to Landon that he has a great eye for beauty. Now, how is that for a compliment?!? The whole day was filled with a great spirit. Landon and I kept saying all day, whoa, we really met the Prophet! We are glad to have had that opportunity and so grateful for this church. Anyway, it was a great day. Just thought I would share.
