Butterfly Kisses

You know that our week can't have been too exciting if my only post is on our butterflies!  We did get a lot of park play in, as the weather has been fantastic, and I started doing exercise walks again which has been really nice.  Let me tell you, pushing Jackson and Wyatt in the double jogger, and carrying Anna in the Bjorn on all the hills in the neighborhood is a WORKOUT!  I jogged for the first time since August on Saturday and that felt so great too- I feels so nice to be able to move my body again! (But I still have 17 lbs to lose, dang it)
So, yes, our butterflies emerged from their chrysalises.  It was quite exciting.


Intently watching them eat their food


On Friday I decided it was time to release them.  Jackson loved the idea that they were now going to find butterfly friends to play with.



The other day while I was holding Anna, I noticed she had started sucking her thumb.  Both of our boys were not thumb suckers, so it will be interesting to see if she does it.

Gotta get a pre-church picture :)
A lady at Church said she is always excited to see how Anna looks every Sunday.  I know Erik always dreads when I ask, "Do you like Anna's dress?"  I'm really not buying that much!

Oh how fun! You seriously never cease to amaze me Jen! I've been so nervous about trying to jog with just two kids in a jogger. I now have NO excuse not too! Seriously wish we were neighbors!

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...

21 Weeks

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...
