Fun with Grandpa and Grandmother


We have been having so much fun with Grandpa and Grandmother this week.  They have done everything that needs to get done as Erik went back to work on Monday.  Every morning my Dad has gotten up with the boys and let me catch a couple of extra hours of sleep with Anna (our 6:30 am is their 3:30 am CA time, so I am super impressed!).  My Mom has kept the house clean, made delicious meals, and done whatever else she can think of to help.  They both have played with the boys endlessly and taken them fun places.  I just can't express how lucky we are to have them!!!

On our first night home, we had a bubble gum blowing contest.   

Jackson tried and tried to blow a bubble, but just didn't quite get there.  It looks like a gross tongue doesn't it?

I think Erik was declared the winner.  I actually had a couple of good ones too, but just didn't capture them on camera.

On Wednesday, they took the boys to a fun playground place here in Winchester.  I found out about it from a friend, and now I'm excited to take the family there myself.  It looks fun!


Wyatt loved playing house here.

And Jackson loved playing dog :)





hmm, can't figure out how to turn these pictures.  I guess Jackson LOVED this slide.


Wyatt felt much more comfortable with this slide.

On Tuesday the boys were chomping at the bit to make a Mickey Mouse birthday cake.  They wanted to pretend it was their birthday.  Every day this week for their dessert they wanted a leftover piece with a lit candle and a song to go with it!
On Friday, my parents, Jackson, and Wyatt went to the National Zoo in Washington D.C.  This is another place I've been wanting to go.  They all said it was a great zoo.  It was so big, that even after a few hours they didn't get to see everything, including the pandas that are there.  It will be something that the boys can look forward to for next time!

 


Checking out the size of lion paws.  My Mom said the lions put on the best show.  One male lion climbed on top of the rocks and just started roaring super loud!







I love this picture!

I just told Adelyn that we're going to visit you and she says "can I bring my dressup clothes?" We came on your blog to have some Anna lessons (she's not getting it that Jackson and Wyatt have a babysister)

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...
