Its begining to look a lot like Christmas!

Yay, it's Christmas time! I really didn't think I would care too much about all the fluffy stuff of Christmas this year since I just had a baby (well 7 weeks ago), but nothing could be further from the truth. This is definitely my favorite time of year and having a new little baby just makes it that much more special. I may be so tired my eyes are crossed, but at least I can look around at some pretty lights and listen to fun music while I'm trying to wake myself up!

Here's our cute little Santa. My Mom started a tradition of having her kids take a picture of their baby's first Christmas in a Santa suit that she frames and uses in her decorations. I like the idea a lot, so now I have two little Santa pictures in Christmas frames on our mantle this year :)We've been making a lot Christmas cookies this year (especially once I found tubs of sugar cookie dough that just needs to be rolled out and cut!), and Jackson is definitely a fan. He loves rolling out the dough and yes he loves wearing aprons. I think its because he doesn't like getting dirty, so the idea of an apron that protects your clothes is a really great one!Last Saturday, Erik and Jackson went up into the mountains to find a Christmas tree. Jackson was sooo excited and the whole day before he kept mimicking how he was going to chop down the tree. His whole body got into it, it was quite funny! Here's our friend Spencer that went with his girlfriend as well. Spencer paid for the tree tags and Erik paid for the gas, so we got our tree for like 20 bucks- not bad!


Last night, we went to this pizza party the school district has every month for kids ages 0-5 and they had a Santa there. This is our second Santa meeting this year, as there was one at the library last week. Jackson gets more and more comfortable with him each time, even if it doesn't look like it.

Okay, I'm DYING right now!! Oh my gosh, that Doris Day song will forever make me think of you! I remember you playing that on your tape player (haha the good ol' days) when we were kids and at some point long after you gave a copy of it to me (or did I steal it?! haha jk) And I would play it on my way to seminary in Sonora!!! Oh I love it!!

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
