Stockton: Week Two

Well, we have enjoyed yet another week in sunny CA. I'm sure by the time we leave on Tuesday, my parents are going to take a very long nap b/c I think Jackson and Wyatt are wearing them out. Oh wait, they had 6 kids effortlessly, maybe its just me that gets worn out! :) Like always, they are so loving and fun with the boys! We started off the week with another Easter egg hunt since we didn't get to do one with them on Easter (any excuse to have candy, right?). On Wednesday, we went to the Children's Museum and Jackson was in heaven! Its so funny how the simplest things can rock his world. He was going a mile a minute to every part of the place for almost 3 hours straight. He's been playing hard!

Coloring some Easter eggs.

My Grandma and Grandpa came down from Roseville to participate in the hunt! It was a lot of fun to see them. I love talking to them. My Grandpa is always reading something interesting and he's always up to date on what is happening in the world - right up my alley! :)

See they really did participate?? It was pretty funny to see my Grandpa, my Dad, and Jackson hunting for eggs. They were the only ones!!
Taking a candy break.
Eating some to-die-for homemade ice cream that Laurel made.
It was so hot earlier in the week, like 98 degrees (Nick Lachey, anyone?). I was actually missing the cool air of Idaho for a minute.
I didn't bring swimsuits, so Jackson was playing in the sprinklers in his undies. Fun!
Here is Jackson at the Children's Museum. He was literally running around yelling, "This is soo awesome!"

I can't resist taking pictures of my boys!
This cake may not look too great, but it tasted delicious! Kiwi- lime, yum!

How fun! Where is the Children's Museum? Is it in Stockton? And yes, I'm a wimp. I'll admit it. I’m pretty sure Rexburg would kill me!

So cute! Tell your parents hi for me! Seeing just a glimpse of the kitchen, backyard, truly brought back some very very happy memories....I wish I could go back to that...just for a little while! REally that was my home-away-from home....especially since my childhood was in Stockton and my parents move, your parents' home brings back all the childhood memories!

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...
