Just Another Post

Saturday, Erik and I took the kids on one-on-one dates again.  I asked Jackson what he wanted to do, see a movie, out to lunch, etc.  All he wanted to do was go to the toy store that I took Wyatt to last week.  Wyatt wanted to go bowling with Erik like Jackson did too!  It was funny and we all had a good time.

It really was nice just being with Jackson.  It made me realize how old he is, because we just had great conversations the whole time.  He let me pick the place for lunch (Chipotle) and held the door open for me (after some coaching)-- what a gentleman!

This past weekend we were blessed to have Elder Bednar (a member of the Quorum of the 12 apostles of our church) come to our stake conference.  There wasn't a reorganization or anything, we were just treated to some great counsel!  Our area authority, Elder Smith, came too.  It was so great.  We got a babysitter Saturday night, so we could go to the adult session and I was just so blown away.  I've always loved Elder Bednar since he was the president at BYU-Idaho while I was there.  He really reached out to the students then (doing little FHE gatherings and such).  A couple of years ago, he came to our stake conference in Rexburg, so Erik and I feel like we really better be learning something from him! :)  His talks are always so meaty with every word being important.  It was a great experience.

And . . . 10 more days!  It actually was supposed to be 11 more, but at my Dr. appointment on Friday I found out the hospital changed my C section date without checking with or telling me!  I was pretty bugged, because my parents had already made their flights so they would get here the night before the baby comes.  I feel like if I have to have a C section, I may as well get the benefits of it.  The biggest benefit is being able to set everything up ahead of time.  Oh well, I am excited to meet my little girl one day sooner I must admit!

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...
