Meet Virginia

Well we made it back!  All in all it was a huge success because a) I never threw up and b) well mostly just A.  I really think I've turned a corner with my morning sickness; a lot of prayers were answered with this one!

Anyway, we did have a good time in Winchester.  We mostly just drove around, trying to figure out where we would want to live.  I left Winchester being really excited about some things and less excited about others.  But that's how it is no matter where you live, there's always good with the bad. 

I really didn't take any pictures.  I always forget!  I did take this one though of a pretty area right outside the town.  There is a lot of country feel to the place, which we both really like.  I have a feeling that I will want to live in a more typical suburban neighborhood in town.  However, if I already knew people there or the area better I might be adventurous enough to live someplace like this.  So beautiful!!

This is a picture of one the neighborhoods we liked.  I really love the colonial eastern style homes that are pretty much all there is there.  One thing that disappointed me was the way the yards looked (do I sound picky??).  I guess most people don't put in sprinkler systems because there is usually enough rain.  This year however, was an especially dry one and left all of the lawns so ugly.  I never realized how much I like a nice plot of grass until now!

It was a lot of fun spending so much time with Erik.  It's funny because the last "date" we went on was when we were house hunting in Phoenix by ourselves in April.  I guess if we keep this moving thing up, every few months we will at least get a date out of it!  We saw "The Other Guys" on Friday which was fun.  It was a typical Will Ferrell movie where I laughed so hard I cried in some parts, and other parts made me want to leave the theater.

Meanwhile, the boys had a wonderful time with their Grandmother.  She was so wonderful with them; I'm sure Jackson and Wyatt really exhausted her (they do me at least!). She even made us some beef stew before we came home, because I had said I was craving some before she came.

some pictures from their little trip to the Mesa Temple on Sunday afternoon.

Virginia looks so pretty! I'm really glad your morning sickness is improving--or at least it improved for your trip. When do you think you will move?

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...
