Good Ol' Roy

This weekend we went to Roy for our niece Iva's birthday. We all had a great time, but I realized with our Nyholm family reunions in 2 weeks, we will have driven to Utah and back every other weekend for the past two months! This time we took the van, so it was a much more comfortable trip. With my gas discounts I've been accumulating at Albertsons we were able to take the whole trip for less than $25, so it was more comfortable on our bank account as well!

Why is it when kids get together, inevitably clothes come off and water gets turned on??

James and Erin slept in a tent in Kaitlin's backyard, since it was such a full house (nice idea Erin!), and all of the kids loved "helping" them set it up and playing in it afterwards :)

We all went to the Roy Aquatic Center Saturday afternoon, and I must say, that place is the thing I miss most about Roy. It is the best swimming center for the whole family I've ever gone to, and it's very affordable. I have so many wonderful memories of taking Jackson there. It was sort of surreal to have Wyatt there, because he's just the age Jackson was, right before we moved to Rexburg. Jackson loved going down the twisty water slide. Erik took him down twice, then I did, then Uncle James (he probably would've had a stranger take him down if we had let him!)

Such a water lovin' kid.

The whole fam. Erik tried hard to get rid of this rockin' farmers tan he has going on, but I don't think he managed it.

Such sweet brothers I couldn't believe Wyatt fell asleep in this thing, with all the noise and splashes around. Erik was even able to transfer him to our shade spot alongside little Asher without too much of a problem. Such a great baby!
I love sleeping babies!

Kelsey's Bailey is only 6 or 7 weeks older than Wyatt. It was fun to see them interact together.



Here comes Erik!Since there wasn't much of a line going down the fast slide, these boys kept on going down. Erik was trying to make a big skid across the water, but unfortunately I think Josh always beat him in the splash department :)The kids loving their ears for Iva's Mickey Mouse themed party.Oh man, here is Jackson's pouty face. I feel like I see this all the time sometimes! Since Erik's birthday is Tuesday we decided to do a little celebration after Iva's. Thanks Kaitlin, for making that cute cake for him!

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...
