Smells Like Christmas

Yesterday we went to this really cute Christmas tree farm.  Sadly, Wyatt is still sick so I hated being outside in the "cold" (it wasn't Rexburg cold, but it was chilly for not having coats!)  He still had a great time, but next year I'll bring warmer stuff so we can stay even longer :) 


The farm had lots of fun places for kids to play surrounded by hills and trees.  Jackson and Wyatt loved this little playhouse and castle that we found.


Peek-a-boo.  Wyatt loves to play games.  If he even hears the word "peek-a-boo,"  he will immediately start to cover his eyes and play.  He also just started playing duck, duck, goose which is hilarious.  He will randomly walk over to one of us and pat us on the head, make a playful grunt, and start to run away.  Such a funny boy!!

 
It looks like they are plotting something against their daddy :)


What a handsome boy!


When I was searching for a place to get our tree I saw that this place, Hillcrest Farms had a steam train.  When Jackson heard that, he insisted we go here.  All week he was so excited to come, and I'm happy to report that the train ride lived up to his expectations!


I hope my boys grow up to be as good looking as their dad :)


Fun tree house


We all took turns on the rope swing!


I realized after we left that I didn't take any pictures of the actual Christmas trees, or the crazy Santa that was roaming around (so funny!).  We got a little bit of a smaller tree this year since we don't have as much space, but I love it.  I'm so excited to decorate it tonight; I think I'll put some yummy hot chocolate in the slow cooker to make it cozier :) . . .

 . . . and speaking of cozy, Friday morning I did not feel like getting ready.  Our heater is broken (so annoying to have to wait for property managers to fix things!), so our house is like 59 degrees in the mornings and I just do not want to get out of my warm pajamas.  Friday I just decided to go with it, and we made popcorn and watched Christmas movies until 10:00.

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...
