September...

Oh how I love September... why?

* Leaves are changing
* Back to school fun (especially when you're not in school this semester... weird!)
* Sweaters, boots, scarves
* Yummy smells
* Momma Neff's pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
* Cooler weather
* Caramel Apples
* Oranges, Browns, Reds, and Greens
* Anticipation of Halloween
* Cinnamon

Earlier in September the Neff's held a recital in the Assembly Hall on Temple Square. Apparently it was a bigger deal then we all thought- we were on the radio and in the news! My favorite part was hanging out backstage with everyone right before playing. It was so much fun just hanging out, then performing, then hanging out again with the babies.

This is why Scot loves this particular September....

He has earned it

I think baby Andrew likes it too... 

Other than that, Scot and I have just been working and trying to live each day to its fullest, while our sweet Josey takes naps.

Welcome to the World Siena!

I would like to introduce you to the newest member of the Webb Family.....

Siena Victoria Webb

August 20, 2012

6 lbs 13 oz, 18.5 inches long

This little one is my favorite. Oh how I love to kiss those cheeks and smell her skin. 

Proud parents celebrating

Her favorite aunt and uncle

Congratulations Andrew and Krystal! To read more about the birth story, click here. 

On a side note, to celebrate the end of the summer, I held an ice cream social for my students...

So proud of their accomplishments! Look at the difference from this post to now!

Josey the Wonder Dog

This little one seriously takes the cake. Oh how we love her but how accident prone she is. From serious meningitis (we almost lost her and the doctor said he hadn’t seen a case like it in over 10 years) to throwing up EVERY time we go to the ranch, Josey has been through the ringer... and on Saturday there was no surprise to us that she, yet again, almost lost her life.

Scot and I are just hanging out when all of the sudden we see Josey convulsing. Sure we’ve seen her throw up before but this time it was different. You could see the panick in her eyes.

She was choking.

Choking?! Can dogs choke???? I, of course panick and drop to the floor. I start patting her head--- yeah like that’s going to help. But Scottie, oh my sweet husband who I love so much for this reason- He know exactly what to do- grabs Josey underneath the ribs and does a few pumps and out comes the culprit… a little peace of her toy- yeah. Not buying the cheapies anymore! 

You should have seen the relief in her eyes. Oh I felt so bad for the little one. The rest of the day she was almost nostalgic about it… probably thinking how she almost didn’t die again. I seriously don’t get this dog.  She keeps finding ways to hurt herself… and yet… she always seems to come out on top of it.

The moral of the story: don't get a dog. You get too attached...

Sun Valley

Sun Valley was incredible. Mom and the girls headed there in honor of a well needed girls trip for us all. 

We first started out with pedicures... 

Then played and ate 

... then played and ate some more

Then got to see Mr fabulous himself... oh what a night that was... Please don't ask what Krystal and I are doing in the bottom left picture... it doesn't even look cool

I'm telling you this trip was heavenly...

 Thank you so much mother dear! It was incredible and much needed!

Fun in the Sun

This last week Scottie and I had to opportunity to go to California with the Neff family. If you know the Neffs, they go all out... 

and when I mean all out... I mean the 8:00 am to 11:30 pm at Disneyland kind of family. 

Talk about epic...

Disneyland 2008 and Disneyland 2012

I also thought it might be fun to go back in time... 

a time when we weren't married and it was hard to keep our hands off each other... 

check us out in 2008! 

And now look at us in 2012...

... keeping our hands off each other.

Anna 2008 and Anna 2012

I personally love this one... Look how little Anna banana was with her awesome pickle in 2008! 

Here are the girls in Disneyland

Boys in Disneyland.. I love that Eric is on his phone

Enjoying Cars Land

 Walking with little Andrew in Disneyland

We pretty much ate ourselves sick at Disneyland but hey, it's the happiest place on earth so the last thing we thought about was being healthy.

It was fun hanging out with the family all week and spending time with the little ones. 

They seemed to love Disneyland and the beach.... 

especially these kids. 

The waves kept drawing Scot, Jason and Ben back in!

Enjoying Balboa 

Enjoying the beaches. If we weren't riding the rides, we were enjoying the waves and man were they huge! Take a look at the one above! :)

 

We also enjoyed an Angels game the last night. The party never stops!

So there you have it. The good old California Neff Trip never lets you down! What a riot!

Thank you Neffs!

Random thoughts for me today...

I am sitting here relaxing.... And what do I think of? How lucky I am to have two incredible families and good friends...

Case in point click here.
Oh how I have always loved my angiebabe...

And ps. To Krystal and Dog... I have officially decided that you are not allowed to have baby until her favorite aunt Abby is back in town.

Love you and miss you all and can't wait to show you how much I love my disneyland churros and cotton candy
