Sunny Days, Sweeping the Clouds Away

We have finally enjoyed some Spring weather this week and might I just say "Thank Goodness!" I actually shouldn't complain because we have considerably less snow than last year. I'm convinced warm sunny days are nature's Prozac. We didn't do anything too exciting, but just ordinary things seem like more fun when its nice outside. Even inside chores are nicer with the windows open. We took advantage of the beautiful, fleeting (its stormy today!) weather with outings to the park. Wyatt, like Jackson, really likes the backpack. I can't wait to hike up the hill in our backyard and go roaming through all the farm land like I did with Jackson two summer ago. This time Jackson can walk along side me :)
Soo excited to be outside!! Jackson loves his new bike. The first day, I drove to the park with the bike in the back. The second day however I was feeling much more ambitious and decided we could walk the whole way (its about a mile and a half away with a couple of pretty intense hills). Jackson rode his little bike the whole way with out ever stopping or getting tired. About a half a mile into the trek, I passed my friend Alicia and she looked at me like I was crazy for having Jackson ride the whole way, but I knew he would love it :)

Of course, Wyatt fell asleep. I couldn't believe he stayed asleep on the park table for about 30 minutes!
We did have one hiccup in our adventure when Jackson had an accident. For some reason we've had a few of them this weekend and I need to nip this in the bud fast! I called Erik to pick us up, but he was driving in Driggs with no reception. So, with wet pants . . .

we made the long . ..
trip back. Isn't Jackson such a trooper?

My favorite part is that the picture above the "accident" part looks like you captured him while he was having his accident. If that were true, it would seem like less of an accidental event and more of a way to spice up your blog. But I do the same things. Either way, I loved reading about your adventure.

You are so ambitious to walk all the way! Good idea to use the backpack, I love it. I just might have to try it! OH wait, that wouldn't work, I'd still be pushing a stroller, and have one one a bike!;) BTW, Jackson is SO amazing on his bike!! Really! Jessica has yet to even try one (besides a tricycle!)..she won't for another couple months..poor deprived girl!
Also, I never got to hear potty training stories!! When did you do it? Was it forever ago?

I love your pictures and the story. I listened to Obi-whatever-that-Beatle-song-is-called while I read and it made me feel like going to the park too. We miss you!

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...
