Ladies and Gentlemen, Erik Has Left His Twenties!

Erik officially turned 30 on Tuesday- man, he's old! :) I do realize 30 is not that old, but it's sure fun teasing him. Earlier this week we were at the park, and Erik was trying to jump really far off the swings (over Jackson might I add, much to Jackson's delight). Anyway, he kept saying that he used to be able to jump a lot further (kind of like his running time a few months ago!), and I said "well now you're 30, pretty soon you won't be able to jump at all!" I'm sure when it's my turn in a few years I'll get my share of teasing too. We were able to go out for his birthday, because we finally found a babysitter that Jackson really likes, and that was a lot of fun. In fact, Erik is a lot of fun period. He works hard, but he plays hard too and I love that about him. I love seeing how he has matured and taken on new responsibilities with such ease, yet has still maintained that joking, playful attitude. Happy Birthday Erik!



Erik has been spending a lot of time this week getting the house show ready. We have our house officially on the market and the realtor wants it be ready by early next week. Its amazing what a toddler on a tricycle can do to the baseboards!!



I couldn't resist putting this picture up of Wyatt enjoying his first stawberry. Last night I was reading in one of my baby books, and the author said I shouldn't give strawberries until he is 1 year- Oops!

youre glad erik has matured? well, i guess youre right, but he still has a way to go, i know that. and i just wish i was there for this swing jumping thing. i guess he really needs to realize that he graduated from high school more than a decade ago.

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...
