What the heck is that?

Hi everyone from an old newbie... Simple question:

Every night for the past week or so, from my location, we can see a very bright star in the west, and it is larger than others. It first appears high in the sky, and within two or three hours has dropped below the horizon. There are two much smaller and duller stars below it.

At times, either we are smoking something funny, or we are seeing what we call small puffs of white encircling the star... i.e. its like a haze appears arounde the star and then disappears.

Would love to know what we are seeing.
