Introducing Jacob Webster!!

Well after almost 9 full months of waiting our new little boy is finally here! The delivery went smoothly with both Shan and Jakie making it through without any problems. I convinced the nurses in the nursery to let me give little Jake his first bath (with a little assistance:-) and although the little guy doesn't like to open his eyes much yet we were still able to grab a few good pictures for everyone to enjoy. Brooke and Bry both love their new little brother and both got a chance to hold and take care of him a little bit and we are all excited to now be a family of 5!!! Thanks to everyone for their continued help and support and look for more pics and updates to come


First picture with new baby Jake


One of the only pictures we got of Jake with his eyes open. It's still hard to tell color but they look bluish to me. Only time will tell





















The first tiny hints of a smile showing through.







Happy new mother and baby!!!

Brooke insists she is old enough to babysit now that she has 2 younger brothers. Who am I to argue?

Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas everybody! We had a great multifamily Christmas this year with everybody going over to the Griffeth's house and spending some good quality Christmas time together. There were great food, great presents, and great memories along with lots and lots of wrapping paper. We feel so blessed to have such amazing family and friends and thanks to all for your thoughtfulness and gifts. We love you all and we hope you all have a great 2011!!

Happy Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween and we hope everybody's been having a fun and spooky weekend! Halloween has been lots of fun for us this year. The kids both got to pick their own costumes with Brooke choosing to be Alice in Wonderland and Bry being a Lion with a scary roar. Since Halloween fell on a Sunday this year we did all of our Trick-or-Treating at the Ward Trunk-or-Treat which had lots of activities to do and food to eat. The kids had a lot of fun helping us pass out candy and seeing all their friends dressed up. This year we also decided to each carve our own pumpkins (Actually the kids and Shan carved all of their faces on 3 sides of the same pumpkin) which provided extra enjoyment for all. Happy Halloween!!!


Happy Halloween!!!


ROOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!


Alright, I put on the make-up. Now where's my candy???


"Now Mommy says I have to make sure to frost this cookie just right"


"What am I thinking? I'm a LION!!!"


Shan and the kids getting all the candy they can eat.


Alice and the Lion befriend a cowboy to help pass out the candy


Alice demonstrating her muchness by being willing to get inside the same bouncy house as a real live lion.


Brooke and Bry enjoying the tire swing at a friend's Halloween party


Brooke trying her best to bob for apples without getting wet.


If "tire swing" were to be added as the next Olympic event, then Brooke would definitely be a contender for the gold


Shan's pumpkin keeping it traditional.


Brooke's pumpkin looking a bit frightened of himself


Bry's pumpkin which is actually my favorite: Smiling, Mischievous, and a little Spooky


Even though it's been two years since Brooke was Tinkerbell for Halloween she insisted I carve a "Rosetta Fairy" pumpkin this year so here's the result. No one really knows who she is but maybe she'll be interpreted as a low-key Halloween witch or something. Yeah, Brooke's got me wrapped around her little finger.
