Sonora and Livermore

This week I was able to see more people that I love. I went and saw Molly in Sonora on Friday, and on Saturday I went to see the Nyholms in Livermore. Both places had a common aspect: the drive down was so gorgeous. Sometimes, I forget how beautiful northern California is!

It was great finally being able to meet Molly's Max. He is so adorable and cuddly! It was funny seeing him next to Wyatt, because it made me realize my Wy-guy is a little guy indeed :) I have so many happy memories of being at that house in Sonora. Not only with Molly, but also mine and Erik's first date was there. The Seiberts are responsible for our match and I couldn't be more grateful. Thanks guys!
Jordan was so cute with Wyatt. I can see what Molly was saying: Jordan doesn't like to leave babies alone, but she was so sweet!
This picture could've been taken 20 years ago (or to be honest 15 years ago- we played with dolls for a long time). We were always holding our "babies". Now they're real :)
I can't believe there are 5 kids between the two of us!
Cute cute kids.
It was so fun to see Cory. He and Andrea were home from BYU for a bit, and I was lucky enough to be there. I wish Cory stayed at BYU-Idaho rather than transferring to Provo after his mission. :) We enjoyed seeing him his freshman year.
Two cute sisters. I can't believe how grown up Andrea is. I wish I could've stayed longer and talked with everyone. Being with Molly always makes the time fly, but hopefully next time I visit we can make it longer, and see their place in Salinas.

Going to Livermore was great too. I really think I lucked out quite a bit in the in-law department. They are so great to us. We went out to lunch (Jackson's favorite: McDonald's), and then walked to the park to fly some kites.

Peter did the hard work and got the kites ready and up in the sky. It was a perfect windy afternoon for it.


Grammy and Jackson. We are already excited to spend time with them again at the reunion in July.

It was seriously SO SO SO great to see you! And finally meet absolutely darling Wyatt! You were the best to drive all the way to visit. We just never do have enough time together though do we? We'll definitely need to plan for more time in the future :) So true about the pictures, I don't know if two girls could love their dolls more than we did!!! Haha, 6th grade anyone???
P.S. you're putting me to shame..i'm such a blog slacker right now!!

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...
