Snow That Would Make Rosemary Clooney and Bing Crosby Proud

Well, I guess I didn't get my wish for spring!  We got SLAMMED with snow yesterday.  It started after lunch, and seriously never quit!  Poor Erik had a meeting and dinner in Washington D.C.  It's funny because, in Rexburg we obviously got more snow some times, but it's just different here.  I think because the roads are more narrow, more windy, and there are just plain more cars and people, snow really creates a mess.  Erik left DC at 7:00 and didn't get home until midnight (this trip usually just takes an hour and a half)!
Snow, snow, snow

After breakfast this morning, we got bundled up (that alone TOTALLY left me exhasuted!) and went out to play

I couldn't find the snow suit that Jackson wore when he was two, so poor Wyatt was wearing size 12-18 months!  Good thing, he's not too big :)



It was pretty deep!

Maverick had fun playing fetch and digging the ball out of the snow

I thought the frosted trees looked  pretty behind our house

So much joy in that kid right there!



The wet, slippery slide has become a favorite when we play in the snow

Yeah, that coat was not getting zipped up :)

What's better than getting dry and drinking hot cocoa??

I have to say I made a pretty good batch too.  Wyatt enjoyed the marshmallows most!

And to cap it all off the boys got to watch the tractor clearing the neighborhood.

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...
