Father/Son Campout and Other Weekend Stuff

Friday was the long awaited day for the father/son campout.  The boys have been counting this one down, so they were beyond excited.

Erik said they all had a good time.  Even after reminding, he forgot to take pictures though!  I'll just have to use my imagination I guess.  Both Jackson and Wyatt got a tick.  Wyatt's was embedded in his armpit, but Erik got it out with a hot knife or something (the hot knife didn't touch his skin).  I think it traumatized Jackson  more than Wyatt.  Jackson had one too, but I pulled it out before the head went in.  I guess ticks are really common around here- yuck!

While the boys were gone, Anna and I enjoyed some girl time.  After getting some errands done, we brought a pizza to the Taylor's.  Taryn (she's Jackson's good friend and is 5 too), was really excited to do nails all together.  It was fun while it lasted, but Anna decided she wanted to go home early; she was being super fussy.  It was fun to think that this was just the first of many years of father/son campout/ girls night :)

After catching up on cleaning in the house, we took our dinner to the park.  It was nice and relaxing.

I love how Anna always snuggles up when I hold her

Love seeing my boys running around and having fun!

oh yuck! Poor Wyatt and Jackson! I'm glad the ticks got out though! I guess the beautiful greenery that you get to live with comes at a price :(

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...
