Our last little cabin get-a-way!

Another weekend getaway for the Websters!
Ryan and I are filling up our weekends before this little GIRL comes and this was the last weekend we could go down to the cabin as a family of 3...

There was limited working- esp my me :)

Ry did manage to complete this awesome bench!

We had such a blast just being alone and away together. Time is ticking and we wont have many more of these little experiances left. We really couldnt have had a better weekend together.
We tried to keep the fire going...

and with a little gas

it was roaring!

Harley loved her sticks and even found a few furry friends to play with...
We didn't get any pictures because by the time we saw who her new friend was- it was not a pretty sight. Harley's little friend was a chipmunk. (RIP)

Our last cabin picture with this belly and just the 2 of us!

Memorial Weekend - Picture Update

Over Memorial weekend Ryan's Family always goes down to the Cabin to open it up for the Summer season. Last year we were snowed in most of the time and almost froze to death but this year for the most part was great weather!
Some of our highlights:
** Boys will be Boys. Shawn and Ryan found any opportunity they could to shot their bows. This is the "WT" tree stand :)


** We took a drive to this place with a cool cave.
No one dared to go down into it.

** Addi kept us entertained the whole time. This girl has such an adorable personality. This is her "HULK" impression!

Harley loved her- Maybe a little to much at times.

** Just like last year or anytime we go camping Harley found her fair share of sticks and rocks to chew on.

** There are a few dead trees very close to the cabin- to avoid anything falling and crushing the cabin the boys stay on top of cutting them down and chopping it into fire wood. Now cutting down trees are more of a sport for these boys. Trying to impress each other to cut it down the fastest and this year- they had a target to try and hit!
Your seeing that right- Its an old car! This thing has been broken down and left up there for years now. It serves as a great paint ball target (if you can see the back of it has been painted a lovely shade of pink)

As the trees were falling they were trying to smash the good ol' travel haul~
After 3 attempts and all 3 trees getting stuck by other trees....

They missed it by INCHES!

Ry hauling off the fire wood- (He is sitting like that to balance out the weight- I thought it looked a little funny)
** I think their favorite part had to be the guys trips out on their 4 wheelers.
boys only + woods + power machines = BLISS

books books books = to prepare me for the babe

For the last 7ish months I have been striving to learn all I can on being a parent. What I should and shouldn't do. What I should know during pregnancy. What I need to know after the baby comes. etc. etc. etc.
I realized the other day- WOW... I think I should start my own baby book store!
(NOT all but most of my collection so far)

Books I loved:
* Highly recommend this book. Cant wait to put it to good use!
* The honest truth! Pregnancy is not SEXY so don't be surprised by all the changes.

Books that had good info:
Books that had good info but I really could have gone without reading them:


Book that helped the hubby (and me)

My pregnancy journal... Had some good info each week but really was a waste of my $$


My monthly magazines that I have subscribed to:


Our baby name book:

I am now to the point I am so overwhelmed with all different types of information that I don't think ill read anymore. I have certain things I want to make sure and incorporate into my baby's world and certain things I don't. I hope that "motherly instinct" really does kick in for me once baby GIRL comes and a lot of those things that are not written in books will run somewhat smooth. I am very lucky to have such awesome family and friends that have also been so willing to give me any advice I need and answer all my weird and sometimes embarrassing questions.

Memorial Weekend

Happy Memorial Day (Late)!
Had a wonderful weekend in the mountains!
some of the highlights-
* Ryan spent most of his time on his 4wheeler and cutting down dead trees
* We learned our Harley has horrible allergy's and has been put on benadryl and almost daily baths. We also have cream to rub on her tummy.
(Did you know when dogs get allergy's it comes out on their skin- usually in the form of some rash. My vet just taught me so much!)
* Had some fun girl time moments with MIL, Brooke and Addi
* Caught a few rays of sun- So ready to get some kind of tan!
* Did more decorating on the baby's room. I am losing all patience and its not as fun anymore. I'm ready for it to be done :)
* Almost lost my eye- Beware of the dangers when cutting fake flowers. Sometimes things fly off and... BULLS EYE (Literally)
* Crossed a new milestone in the pregnant world- NO MORE SLEEP!
Thank you little GIRL but you have now made it officially impossible to get any sort of sleep.
Is this a sign of things to come??
My back and legs are now hurting extra bad.
I'm drinking water like crazy and getting up to walk around the building at work a few extra times everyday because I have heard this helps. My pool is open so once it gets above 80 degrees ill head over there to swim and hopefully get my body relaxed a bit.
Any suggestions out there?

take me out to a ball game...

Thank You Derek and Allie for a wonderful night!



I have to say Emma was the best part!
We love hanging out with these guys.
Ryan and I always have a blast-
Allie is def. my coach through this pregnancy. I couldn't have made it over some of those tough roads without her guiding me :)

Baby Shower #2

Baby Shower #2 was given by awesome Brooke!
*** Many other awesome people (MIL, Carma, Kam, Sherry) helped***
Thank you Thank you Thank you EVERYONE.
It was such an amazing time-

Family and Friends...




I was lucky enough to get a load of amazing gifts for baby GIRL!
Some included....



Cousin Kam gave Baby GIRL the yummiest smelling baby perfume. Olivia went around to everyone so they could smell :)
She is seriously tooo dang cute.
Whats a baby shower without cute babies...
These are Baby GIRLS cousins. Little Kalea on the right will be the closest in age to her.
Wish I had more pictures of all the awesome people who attended- If you took any please send them my way! I am so blessed to know such incredible people and have such an incredible family. Thank you all for everything- I couldn't ask for more.
Only 64ish days until we all get to meet Baby GIRL.

30 weeks + Anxiety

Your baby rivals a good-size cabbage in weight, tipping the scales this week at 3 pounds. (Length: about 15 3/4 inches, head to heel.)

Its all down hill from here. I am in my 30th week and getting bigger by the minute.
This little girl has been very active most days. Her favorite spot to be is in my ribs on the right side. Since the first time I felt her move she loves that spot for some reason.
My anxiety has really kicked into high gear lately. I have so many fears thinking about Baby GIRL being here. I never thought I would feel like this when I had my own baby. I thought this would be a walk in the park- I have helped take care of Devlin and Teagan but in reality its NOT the same and I'm very quickly realizing it. This little girls hopes, fears, dreams and life are all on Ryan and I. What she learns or doesn't learn is because of us. I keep having these horrible dreams that she wont eat or I simply forget to feed her. **What is that about?**
I have been reading pregnancy and child books like crazy - Learning all the different techniques to calm a crying baby, feed a screamer and make sure all harmful objects are always put away :)
I feel like these books make sense but what if I forget everything or what if my child is "one of those" and no matter what I do she wont listen to me and she ends up robbing the corner mart at the age of 5?
While I sit here and think of all ways to prevent killing my child (like making sure I don't forget to feed her)
I worry about my other half- My Ryan... I worry if I will be able to be a good wife to him after she is here. As of right now I am having more days than not where I'm so sleepy- or just lazy- and don't do the things I used to do for him. Of course he says he doesn't mind and helps me but I worry its really effecting him. I worry that ill be an even more crazy nut once there is a baby thrown into the mix. I worry I cant do it all and that ill fail.
Last night I got up (because I couldn't breath laying down) and sat in my kitchen for quite a while thinking about the next few weeks and that we only have 10 (ish) weeks until this amazing little girl will be in our home. As I have now fallen in love with this nut ball rolling around in my tummy- I'm scared to death to not be a good enough Mom for her and a good enough wife for my husband.
** I also think I should get off this Debbie downer thing and just think about the amazing little person that I'm sure wont be "that kid" and will bless our lives more than we could imagine.
Can anyone relate?

Save some $$

I was told by my awesome sista Brooke about this website that is being bought out by someone so everything is SUPER cheap! Like $1.00 cheap!
ELF = Eyes, Lips, Face
Its pretty much all make up so for those that spend major $ each month like me- you should check it out!
I got myself into a little trouble last night and ended up emptying half my shopping bag before I spend hundreds of $ on just Make up! Hope you find some good stuff and let me know when you do!

1 day - 1 night down!


That's my Ry feeding the goats in Tropic Utah-
One of his most favorite places to be.
That's where he is now :(
I'm only sad because I'm not there with him!
Its a guys little getaway and girls are NOT allowed!
For those out there that have a husband who hunts- you know- this is a year round sport.
There are no breaks because when one season ends another begins.
I didn't understand this until I was slapped in the face by hunting reality shortly after we were married. Over the last 2 1/2 years I have grown to understand my husbands love for it and that to him- its much more than just HUNTING. Its the freedom he feels and the peace he feels while out in the wild. He loves to be with his Dad-Brother-Friends... its a time he remembers his Grandpa the most.
I however have to say- I'm still a disaster anytime he leaves. I have always had HORRIBLE separation anxiety my whole life and it has only become worse since I have been married. I have a few panic attacks before the leaves then once he is gone- lets just say- its not pretty!
Ryan left yesterday. So far- I'm surprised with how good I'm doing. I told myself this time, I really need to find a way to deal with this esp now with a baby on the way. I cant pass on all my outrageous tendencies to her!
So day 1 and night 1 down!
Good thing Harley has been keeping me company!
