Phew!


Erik and I gave talks today at church, and I feel like a kid finishing his school year with how relieved I am.  We were asked to give them a month ago, and that is just way too much time to stress over them!  All in all, I'm glad to stretch myself in that way, but still . . . I'm happy it's over.  My Mom and Dad drove down from Stockton, and it was so nice to have them watching the boys so I could sit with Erik up front :)  That was a great treat!

They also brought me freshly picked lemons from their tree-- yum!



For the past 2 weeks, the sun has barley shown itself.  I know I really shouldn't complain, because its not like it's icy and super cold, but it still is depressing to just have gray foggy sky after gray foggy sky.  Well, on Friday for less than one hour it came out!  As soon as I saw the sun peeking out I pretty much threw the boys into the bike trailer and booked it to the park to enjoy it.  I'm glad I did, because the forecast says dark skies at least until Wednesday


here comes the sun . . .

crazy about the weather over there right now. oddly enough, it's been the opposite over here this past week- sunny and like 68 degrees! i think that means you guys need to come visit us! ;)

I hear you. I hate giving talks in church. It is so stressful. I'm so jealous that you can bike to the park. Even when the sun came out the other day it was only 35 degrees and ice is all over the sidewalks. I hope I can survive till spring. :)

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...
