Trick or TREAT!!

A few days ago we got "Booed." We opened our door and there was a plate of delicious caramel apples and a little poem about Halloween. It's kind of a like a chain - you're supposed to pass it on to two other people until everyone has been "booed." I thought it was a really fun idea and our kids loved watching daddy and mommy sneak up to people's porches and then run like crazy back to the car. For any of you looking for a fun FHE activity in October - here's your answer!! If you want the poem that goes with the activity, let me know and I'll post it for you.


This is what we used to put our treats in to make it extra Halloweenie... :)

Science Center Geeks

Yes, I'm afraid that this week we turned into a bunch of big dorks by attending the Science Center here in Des Moines. It was awesome! They have a ton of interactive things to do and lots of cool stuff to see and play with. Brooklyn and Aubrey loved getting to play with all the stuff and Brooklyn especially loved being able to push a bunch of buttons. But I don't think anyone had as much fun as Luke. I guess that makes sense though, since science is kind of his thing. Anyway, he got especially excited when he got to experiment with generating power through water. I can't explain anything about it except that there was some water (that Brooklyn eventually fell in) and some black blocks (that Aubrey wanted to suck on).
Brooklyn loved sticking her face over the huge air-blower and Aubrey just thought she was hilarious.
Coloring different species of leaves is pretty serious business in this crowd.
They loved watching the documentary on robots inside of the robot car.
Brooklyn spent FOREVER in front of this huge ball wall - it was pretty entertaining.
Luke and I built this arch with all the different blocks and were so proud that we were able to accomplish something while both kids weren't sleeping!!

Bath Time Fun

Brooklyn and Aubrey's new favorite game is "falling down" in the bathtub. The could do it all day if we would let them. It's a little scary with Aubrey though because she falls over sometimes so we have to be really careful. Anyway, we just thought it was cute and wanted to share it with everyone. Right after bath time, they were both running around without diapers and I walked in upon this scene..... Brooklyn was pointing out some trucks and cars to Aubrey and she kept saying, "See? Tuck. See? Daddy's car." Aubrey was totally paying attention and hanging on Brooklyn's every word. Just another precious moment from the Webb home....

The New Family Trouble-Maker

A New Calling - A New Challenge

Our second week in the ward, the Bishop called us into his office for a "get-to-know-you" chat. As we were leaving he asked, "Do you guys have any preferences in callings?" We assured him that we would be happy to serve wherever we were needed and we left it at that. So this Sunday, we get another interview where we received our new callings. Luke got called to be the..... (drum roll, please) NURSERY LEADER!! I had to laugh, I couldn't believe it! (Luke is very excited about it by the way). He just looks at me and said, "I wouldn't laugh - you don't know what your calling is yet." I was just thinking, "Yea, but it couldn't be harder than a nursery leader, right?" Wrong. I am the new Boy Scout Den Mother!! I'm feeling so out of my element. I'm sure in a few years I will look back on this calling with fond memories and be so glad that I was called, but for now - I'm just trying to breathe as I flop around like a fish out of water. (Now for all of you guys out there reading this and thinking, "It's boy scouts - what's the big deal?" Imagine you just got called to be the new Beehive Teacher. And this week's lesson is on chastity. See what I mean?!)

Yea, It's Kind of a Big Deal...

Today was Luke's "White Coat Ceremony" and apparently it's a pretty big thing. It was kind of like a reverse graduation because they had speakers and then they called everyone's name one at a time and they walked across the stage, received a pin, and shook hands with a bunch of important people. I was half expecting everyone to throw their caps in the air at the end. It was long and boring but Luke looks so official (and I'll be honest - also very sexy) in his new sparkly white coat. :)

My Hairy Situation

Decisions, decisions. Curly or straight? Blond or brown? Bangs or no bangs? Cut short or grow out? Anyone who knows me well knows that I HATE making decisions! So, I'm going to let you (all my loving, honest friends) make my decisions for me. I want to do something new and fun to my hair, but I'm not sure what. So, I'm posting some pictures of different hair styles of mine through the years and I want to know which ones you love and which ones you hate. Also, if there is something new you think I should try, let me know - but no green, pink, permed or shaved! Thanks!
This year's model.
Extension - (they were free.)
Yes, Becca's hair is beautiful, but you're supposed to be looking at mine. :)
I know it's hard, but please attempt to look past the post-birth-giving zits.
