Firefighter to the Rescue!

On Tuesday, I ventured out for the first time with the three kids to playgroup.  It was a field trip to the fire station, and since Wyatt pretends to be a fireman quite often, I knew this would be worth the effort.

I don't know if you can see Wyatt at the very right of the picture, but he does not look very happy!  One of the firefighters put on the whole deal (fire suit, oxygen mask, etc)  I guess Wyatt didn't appreciate the firefighter sounding just like Darth Vader, so when they invited the kids to the front to see it all up close, Wyatt was not having it!  I thought he would be OK if I held him, but no.

During the tour, the firefighter let the kids sit in the different fire trucks and ambulances.  I guess because the stairs up to the trucks were so tall, he hoisted each kid in and out.  It was so funny when, without fail as he hoisted Jackson, his face turned red and he grunted, "Whoa, you're a big one!"  You'd think by the 3rd or 4th time, he'd remember to just let Jackson climb on his own . . . so proud of my solid boy :)

 . . . and Wyatt was nervous to go into the trucks (I think in Wytatt's mind, Darth Vader/fire fighter set a dangerous tone for the rest of the tour).


We had a really big group, this doesn't even show all of the kids!


Anna stayed pretty happy in the Moby throughout.

The other night while Erik mowed the lawn, I kept seeing the boys trailing after him, back and forth.


It was so cute, but every time Wyatt saw me take a picture he started rolling on the ground.

Yes, that is impressive Wyatt :)

Sweet little curled up Anna

And last night, Erik fulfilled one of his dreams by buying a travel trailer.  We've been (well really just Erik) scouring Craig's list trying to find a good deal, when alas finally one was found!  Erik and the boys went and picked it up last night.

I am excited thinking of the little trips we are going to take in this thing.  I also love how Erik's dreams have changed from getting a Big Boy Harley to getting a travel trailer to take the family in-- he is truly domesticated :)

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...
