Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum

For Playgroup yesterday, we went to the Children's Museum here in Winchester.  It was fun, but of course not that big.  OK bigger than Rexburg's, smaller than Visalia's or Phoenix's :)  There were a lot of sciency learning stations which was nice, and I'm sure the boys will appreciate it more as they get older.


Wyatt is happy any time he can pretend he was driving.  This was really cute apple truck full of apples that you put into buckets and tried different pulleys and levers to lift them . . . Wyatt only cared about the steering wheel!



a rock wall!

Jackson loved climbing up and then JUMPING down.  Even though it wasn't super tall it still scared me!

For our Relief Society Christmas dinner last night, I made a coconut cake.  I don't even love coconut cakes, but they remind me of Christmas, so I always want to make them this time of year.  This one was a Paula Deen recipe, so it was LOADED with butter and sugar.  I actually think I prefer the taste of the Cooking Light version I've made a couple of times.  It was a fun night, but I am TIRED this morning because I didn't get home until 11:00 (my usual bed time is 9:30 when I pregnant :) ).

The museum looks cute--I wish we had one here! Your cake is pretty too. You stayed until 11:00! THAT's CRAZY!!! You must have moved into a ward that either does elaborate enrichment meetings or they love to party and socialize--either one is my worse nightmare :)

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...
