Mt. Lemmon



Last Saturday we took a drive to Mt. Lemmon to get a break from the heat of the desert. It is the only really green area around. We enjoyed seeing all of the evergreen trees, the smell of "green", and the water. It was a wonderful little get away and we felt quite rejuvenated after a day up on the mountain.


We played for a long time at Rose Canyon Lake. Jordan loved throwing rocks and sticks into the lake. We walked in the woods that were around the lake and enjoyed the peaceful scenery. It was so nice to be in a place that felt familiar.


We had a nice picnic under a pavilion and then played at the lake so more... by request of Jordan. Then when Jordan ran out of energy we headed back home.


It was a fun little day trip that we will have to do again sometime. In my opinion, out in the woods is the best place to be.

BYU Graduation 2012


We made a special trip to Provo for Preston's official graduation of his Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering. It was so wonderful to be back in Provo. That college town will always hold a special place in our hearts because of all the memories made there. We had a great visit with family and friends while there. It was a time of celebration, reflection, and fun.


My brother Bart also graduated with his degree in Manufacturing Engineering. I am so glad we were able to be there to support and cheer him on for his great accomplishment. Way to go bro!


It was amazing! All 7 of the Webb siblings were able to be in Provo. This is a very rare event. So we took the opportunity to get lots of family pictures. It was so wonderful to be with everyone. I'm sure my Mom loved having all her kids together the most. What a great time. :)


While in Provo we got to get together with some of our good friends. My childhood friend Michelle graduated with her masters in Social Work. Way to go Vanilla! We also got to have lunch with our friend Kevin. Preston's friend Bryce from capstone and through their masters degrees was also there graduating. It was great to be able to congratulate all of these friends and the great things they've accomplished. We wish we could have seen all of our wonderful friends from Provo.


We spent some time up north in West Point with Preston's parents. Jordan had a blast with grandma and grandpa's mini farm! He got to see chickens, horses, a cat, and a dog. What could be more exciting for a toddler? I know... a ride on grandpa's lawn mower and horse! He was in heaven. We had a fantastic trip and are so grateful for the amazing college experience we had at BYU.

Exciting News!


Yes, you guessed it by the picture! WE ARE EXPECTING! The due date is October 25th! We are excited for this new member of our family to arrive. What an amazing miracle pregnancy is. We feel so blessed.


Here is a picture of Jordan wearing his "Big Brother" t-shirt. We know he's going to be a great big brother. We think it'll be so fun for him to have a little buddy to play with. Exciting times! Make your guesses for what you think we're going to have. We'll find out in June.

Our 5th Anniversary!



On April 12th Preston and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary! It has been a wonderful 5 years filled with lots of good times, change, teamwork, laughs, growth, support, and love. During these 5 years we have lived in Idaho, Washington, Utah, and now Arizona. We have both graduated from college with our bachelors and Preston with his masters. We have had our sweet little boy Jordan join our family.



An eternal marriage is wonderful and brings so much peace into our lives. I am so grateful to be sealed/married to my best friend for eternity. We are living happily ever after...

Easter 2012


We had a lot of fun this Easter. Jordan had his first try at Easter egg coloring. He did a great job and went the extra mile to also color his hands. We have so much fun watching Jordan experience and discover new things. I absolutely love his big smile in this picture. He is having such a blast getting messy.

Enjoy this video of Jordan coloring eggs with his Dad. Jordan brings a lot of laughter into our home. He is such a bright part of our lives.

Rocket Science



A couple of Saturday's ago we headed to a rocket show in a near by town. It was the ultimate boy scout experience! Kids, adults, and everyone in between went to this rocket show to fire off their own rocket that they had made or to just watch. I loved what this sign said, "Yeah... It's rocket science." Super funny.



Here is Preston trying to show Jordan where the rockets went after they fired off. It took him a little while to catch on to what people were doing. He liked the rockets, until there were some loud ones... then he said, "home... home."



Here is a picture of just a third of one of the hard core rockets that were at the show. This one was huge! Too bad Jordan wanted to head out.. it would have been neat to see these big ones go off. Maybe we'll come back next year and see what he thinks about the rockets when he's a little older.



Here is Preston and Jordan next to a big Crayola Crayon rocket. It was so big! I wonder what was put in this rocket to get it off the ground? Preston is sooo excited to build a rocket with Jordan someday. This day at the rocket show he was already starting to plan what they could make. I agree, it'll be really fun watching my two guys making things together.

St. Patrick's Day



Happy St. Patrick's Day! We began our St. Patrick's Day by having a very green breakfast. We made green pancakes, green scrambled eggs, and green orange juice. Jordan really enjoyed putting the dye into the food and watching it swirl until everything was completely green.

Everything tasted the same but the color did mess with our minds a little. I didn't look at the juice while I drank it so that it would taste the same. Funny how our minds work. Jordan thought the green pancakes were delicious. Hope you all had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day this year!
