Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2013!

Greetings from the Webb home! Merry Christmas to all our family and friends! We hope you are doing well, enjoying this holiday season. We hope the 2013 year will be a wonderful year for you and yours! This year we will start with Tim, yes, Tim. Congratulations to Tim, he just reach his 5th year anniversary on Dec. 10th at Sandia National Laboratory! He enjoys his work and we are very grateful for his career there. Tim was just released from working with the young men in our church, a calling he has had since we moved into our house three years ago. He is now Cub Scout Master and is working with the Cub Scouts, including Jacob. He does a fabulous job with pack meetings and the boys have alot of fun too. He has great talent in this area. Wendy is completely enjoying her career as well, which keep her hopping and seems to change daily in some way or another. The best part of my career is planning fun family outings, we have gone on alot of them this year. We went to California, Bay Area last January to visit my Grandpa and Grandma Haupt, my Uncle Brad and Aunt Marilyn and we see their family. Our boys love staying at their place and call it the "farm". Tim and I spent our birthdays at my Uncle and Aunt's home, they made it a very special one for us, complete with a yummy chocolate cake my aunt made :). We saw alot of fun sights in the Bay Area including walking on the Golden Gate Bridge as a family. We took the boys to the circus in February, which they loved. I went to "Time out for Women" in March with some of my girl friends here. In June we took our annual trip to Utah and Idaho and saw all our family and friends there except Mom and Dad who are serving a LDS mission in NYC. In July Tim and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary by going to the boardway production of "Les Miserables" which was here in ABQ. This play is both our favorite broadway and we LOVED it, had a incredible time! This October, our friend Angel, took our family pictures in the gardens here, they turned out lovely and it was just an incredable fun ride as a family, getting this pictures taken, one we won't forget. I saw a glimpse of eternity that afternoon! The last month, my calling in our church changed. I am now Primary President of our ward. I am so excited and look forward to serving the children of our ward. It is fun being around alot of children again and I hope I can help them learn and love the Gospel. The theme for this coming year in Primary is one of my favorites, it is "I am a Child of God." I have been blessed with a very talented and experienced presidency, this ladies are great to work with. We have been blessed with a fabulous ward family who are our close friends too. I am still walking with two of my friends (have been for more than a year now), five mornings a week, this time has richly blessed my life in many ways. Jacob is NINE! Can you believe THAT?! Crazy, how time fly, really flys! Jacob started third grade this year. He smile is completly filled in for now, with eight new permanent teeth. He enjoy school and learning all sort of new things and ideas. Jacob is a high productive boy and loves to tell jokes. Jacob started piano lessons this fall and his first piano recital was a success. He played last Saturday at the hospital where Adam was born. Jacob also earned his wolf award in Cub Scouts this past September, which he was very proud of. Jacob loves lizards and his favorite color is still green. He loves to build with Legos with every free moment he has. Jacob enjoys playing and reading to Adam, which he did call "baby school" but now he calls it "toddler school" since Adam is a toddler. :)His favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, he and I had a wonderful time together in the kitchen preparing family recipes this year. Jacob is a great help in the kitchen, he is able to do so many things by himself now, it is grand! Jacob is now up to my shoulder in height, he is getting so tall. Jacob is growing into a fine young man and we love having him in our family. Noah, is almost six, will be next week. He is thrilled that his birthday is coming up, he calls all birthdays in our house, holidays! Noah started Kindergarten this year, he has grown into a very responsible, helpful boy. He daily "happenings" at school are all about the "fun things" he got to do, it all about the fun. He started playing soccer this past fall and enjoys it. Noah was eating his lunch the day after Thanksgiving and "my tooth just fell into my mouth!" Yes, Noah lost his first tooth! Noah loves Legos just as much as Jacob, he loves to build. Noah favorite color is orange and his favorite animal is the zebra. Noah spends time helping Adam, which is really cute to watch. Many night we hear Jacob and Noah talking before they go to sleep or singing, they are the best of friends. Adam is now two. He is super busy, fun and loves to climb. Adam just got in all his teeth and his smile is complete for now. Adam loves to be anywhere his family is and he is a great, little companion. Adam has his own lawn mower and loves to follow Tim around the yard as Tim mows the lawn. Adam favorite animal is dogs and horses; we aren't sure of his favorite color yet, but he love going to the zoo and the aquarium. He can say most of the animals sounds now. Last week Adam said "bye-bye" for the first time! Adam loves to be outside and on the run. Adam loves to cuddle, it is great! Adam started going to our church's nursery this past April and LOVE IT and can't wait to go every Sunday. (What Adam has to say, "cvnnnnnnnnnnnnnn n,mnnnnnnnmbjlllllllbg jgjjgbjbgjjbgjjgjgjjgbjgjgjjjjjjjbgjjgjjgbjgbjkbgjgbbgk gjbgjgbjjgbjggbjjgbjgjjgjg j gjj jg jgjgjcikkg n.") Adam is so "helpful" and loves to be apart of whatever is going on here. We add two new animal members to our family this year. In April, a blue parakeet flew into our back yard and we named her Jaylyn. Last month, we got the boys an early Christmas present, Oliver, a male, green parakeet. Jaylyn is delighted to have a companion, she is still really quite, but that makes up for Oliver, who love to squawk any chance he gets. They are fun to watch and listen too. They get along so well and are so fun. The boys are happy to FINALLY have a pet(s). :) We love this time of year in which we can reflex and celebrate our Savior, Jesus Christ's birth and perfect life. He is the reason we have Christmas and we are so grateful for Him and ALL He has and is still doing for us. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16 Merry Christmas! Love, Tim, Wendy, Jacob, Noah and Adam Webb
