Book Tag

Anyone who knows me knows I am a sucker for anything to do with books, so of course I had to do this awesome tag......

Rules:

1. Get the book that's on your nightstand (or whatever you happen to be reading).2. Open it to page 56 and find the 5th sentence.3. Post the next couple of sentences on your blog, along with these instructions.4. Do not go and find your favorite book; it has to be the one you are reading now!5. Tag five other people to do the same.

Book Title : Sick Girl by: Amy Silverstein

.... "I was sinking under the heaviness of his ski jacket - as if he's stuffed sandbags into the sleeves and was playing a trick on me to see how far I could go without falling over. I was just about to tell him to please take his arm away, but then my will overruled me; I was going to finish this walk with Scott's arm wherever he chose to put it, even if I had to crawl on my knees."

Just for the record this book is amazing and if you haven't already read it, you should. It is the memoir of a woman who was diagnosed with congenitive heart failure at 24 yrs old. I know that sounds ridiculously depressing, but it's actually quite insightfull and funny.

I tag anyone who wants to do this. I know I'm supposed to tag 5 people, but I'm just going to go ahead and break that rule. I know, I'm a rebel.

Halloween/Weekend Fun

This weekend was chock full and fun-filled. On Friday Calli and I went to visit poor bed-resting Meggles. She is doing well and looking adorable as ever. Cute little Emerson kept us entertained the entire time. Her currect kids are so cute, and have the funniest personalities. I can't wait to see what the twins will look like and what their little personalities will be like!

Friday night, Jeff and I went with some friends from his work to the Grizzlies game. Jeff's work now has season tickets since they sponsor one of the contests during the game. It was fun.......let's just say there was some great people watching and one really old lady in particular who had a cow bell that she rang like crazy any time something even slightly significant happened. Awesome.
On Saturday morning I took my 4 oldest neices to see High School Musical 3. It was cute, and they loved it. Katie kept the whole theater entertained with some beautiful dancing that started with the first song, and didn't stop until the movie ended. So funny :)

Finally on Saturday evening we had the annual Webb family Halloween party. It was totally fun and hilarious. These are just a few of the photos I took. We loved seeing everyone and spending time with the fam.

Harry Potter and Hermione Granger (Oh I mean Jeff and I:)

Such cute nieces and nephews!!

Jeff's parents had great pirate costumes and the whole party was halloween/pirate themed.

Thanks for such a great time!!

It's autumn. Woo-Hoo!!

I love the fall so much! I know everyone always posts pictures of the leaves and everything.... so big surprise I am totally going to as well. Jeff and I drove up to Midway on Saturday so I could take some photos. It was absolutely beautiful there. We could have pulled over anywhere to take pictures. Enjoy the foliage :)

Oh and last but not least, this is the the sight we saw as we were driving home. At first we were just checking out the the sweet motorcycle, but upon closer inspection we saw the awesome feature on the back. It is definetly a custom sheath for his sword! That's right. We think he might be a dragon slayer or something. Pretty awesome, right?

Girls Week - Chapter 2 - Vegas!!

So we made it back from our awesome trip to Vegas. It was SO fun! There are so many stories and since I'm at work, so little time.... So just a few highlights. We saw an amazing magic show at Planet Hollywood. Cheyenne got called up on stage and was part of the show. She looked so cute up there and the magic was mind boggling. We rode the rollercoaster at New York, New York and my mom did it without crying this time.

(Last time she was in tears even before we got on) We were so proud of her. We snuck Sage into a karaoke bar with the help of some rugby players from Reno (she's the only one under 21) and together she and I sang a radical round of Ice, Ice baby to about 50 drunk people. It was hilarious. It's amazing the things you dare to do if you know no one but your sisters and your mom are going to remember it. Have you ever noticed how many creeps there are in Vegas? Well we sure did. We couldn't walk more than 10 feet on the BLVD w/out being hooted or hollered at. It is probably a good place to go if you have low self esteem. We stayed right on the strip as usual thanks to our grandparents who have a really nice condo that they let us use. And of course the best part of all, we ate at the Planet Hollywood (formerly the Aladdin) buffet, because you can't go to Vegas and not eat crab legs at a nice buffet. Like most of our trips we were laughing hysterically every second, this time thanks in large part to my mom. She was being so funny!!! At one point during karaoke she was in the middle of about 15 dancing rugby players doing the pony.

If you know my mom, then you can totally picture it. Pure entertainment:) All in all it was one of the best trips we've been on, we just wished Steph could have come. I'm so glad I have sisters and a mom who I count among my best friends because I know how rare that is :)

Girls Week - Chapter One

So this week is officially girls week. Jeff is hunting from Tuesday - Sunday so it works out quite nicely. My mom, my sisters and I kicked off the week last night by attending the So You Think You Can Dance Tour. It was AWESOME!!! Totally worth every penny the tickets cost us:) This is a picture of my personal favorite dancer, he's weird and quirky which of course I love!

Stay tuned for the next chapter of girls week. We are heading to Vegas on Thursday and you can't go to Vegas without some seriously hilarious experiences!

Camping and the IMMA Expo

We've had an incredibly crazy last couple of weeks. To get a general idea you should really check out Calli's blog. She posted all the craziness and did a great job and I figure if you read my blog, you probably read hers so I'll just give you a run-down, then you should check her page out cuz it's GREAT!

Camping was really fun. We went up with my parents, my sis, LJ, Calli and Mike. It was quite

the adventure.

This is Sage in her awesome poncho shooting the bb gun. She's a dead shot. I am not....

Sage and LJ

My mom, posing, and looking so adorable

The next week we went to the IMMA expo in Long Beach for Jeff and Mike's work. It was a good time for all. Hard work for the boys, but we were all just glad to get away for a couple days. Again, see Calli's awesome blog if you want to see all the fun pics.

One of our favorite fighters, BJ Penn, signing autographs at the expo

Cruisin'

Jeff and I just returned from our cruise to Baja California. It was awesome! We were chaperones for Sage's

Hiking Attempt...

This past Friday Calli, Steph, and I attepmted to hike Mount Olympus. This is a picture from about 20 mins up which is as far as we got this time. That is a whole different story....Calli and I did it a few weeks before and went about 1.5 miles up. It's great exercise and also a ton of fun.

About my Husband

1. What is his name? Jeff Michael Webb

2. Who eats more? He does....most of the time

3. Who said I love you first? He did...on the phone....I was in KFC. It's a good story. You should ask me about it sometime.

4. Who is taller? He is

5. Who is smarter? Jeff with most things. I think he would say I have him beat with things like spelling and grammer though.

6. Who is more sensitive? Probably me.

7.Who does the laundry? I do it most of the time, but Jeff is really good at sharing the typically female responsibilities with me, so I'm lucky like that. He will throw a load in if we are out of underwear or something.

8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? All I know is I sleep as far away from the door as possible. It's a paranoid, crazy person thing that Jeff is happy enough to let me indulge in:)

9. Who pays the bills? Jeff!! I think anyone who knows me would agree that if it were up to me I'd be like "Oh the car payment was due? Oopsy, I forgot" Thank heavens Jeff is the master of budgeting and finances.

10. Who cooks more? Again, it's pretty equal. Jeff is the Grill Master though. He also cooks all the meat in our house since I get too grossed out by it. And yes I am well aware of my wierdness.

11. What meals do you cook together? Almost everything...if we cook at all.

12. Who is more stubborn? ME!!!!! It's my absolute worst attribute

13. Who is the first to admit they're wrong? Jeff, definetly. Again with the stubborn thing.

14. Who has more siblings? Jeff - 6 Me - 3

15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? Depends on the situation.

16. What do you like to do together? Go on road trips, watch movies, play xBox games, make each other laugh.

17. Who eats more sweets? It's about even. I keep trying to go on a diet but Jeff keeps buying sweets and talking me into eating them too. I think he has a secret agenda to make me obese:)

18. Guilty pleasures? Jeff loves Raspberry filled, powdered doughnuts.

19. How did you meet? Remeber the Tyler that set Steph and Levi up?? Yep he set us up as well. Thanks Ty!!

20. Who asked who out first? I asked him out first, It was really scary!

21. Who kissed who first? Oh it was totally him. But he says I was asking for it which is probably true.

22. Who proposed? Jeff did.

23. His best features? His eyes, and his legs. His legs are so buff from all those years of soccer.

24. What is his greatest quality? His sense of humor. He can make me laugh even when I'm in the absolute worst mood.

25. Tag? Katy, Robyn, Carly, and Michelle

Webb Family Reunion

Jeff and I went to the annual Webb Family Reunion last week. It was great to see everyone and spend some time together. We went to a cabin in Cedar City that is owned by SUU. It was really big with a lot of room for the kids to run around. It gets pretty crazy when all of us get together. Jeff has 6 brothers and sisters and we have 15 (I think) nieces and nephews plus two on the way, so you can imagine the type of space we need for everyone. This cabin was pretty huge though, so that was cool. We played some horseshoes, the kids did some pretty sweet art projects, and everyone relaxed. Oh yeah, and all the little kids put on a play. I t was awesome. They did The 3 Goldilocks and the 3 Bears because they couldn't decide who should be Goldilocks. They are all so adorable! We then headed to Beaver to stay with Jim and Allison on Saturday night so we could go to Jaron's blessing on Sunday. It was a nice weekend.
