Happy Birthday To America and Erik

On Sunday, we had a nice relaxing day.  After church, we went back to Uncle Jimmy's.
I thought it was funny that Erik and Paul were dressed like "twinsies" as Jackson would say.  Sometimes their swings would be synchronized too.


I was so happy that Kaitlin and her baby Toa were able to come out to Pennsylvania.   Toa is just about six weeks older than Anna, so it was fun to see them together.

There was a blight to our nice afternoon.  Wyatt, while playing on a four wheeler, stepped onto the hot muffler and got a really bad burn on the ball of his foot.  It was so sad to see him hobble around the remainder of our vacation!  Luckily, it is really starting to heal up without any problems.
After Uncle Jimmy's, we had some yummy ice cream and then our little family went to a park in Williamsport.  I'm so glad we did, because there was a patriotic band putting on a concert at the park.  It was so nice to see people from the community come together in this way, and was the perfect way to spend a Sunday evening.  Too bad the kids wouldn't let us enjoy it too long!

Monday morning we ate our last waffle breakfast and started to head off.  After getting the kids in their 4th of July clothes, I decided I should snap a few pictures.



It was a good thing I did too, because on the way home Wyatt who ended up getting sick (on top of his burn!), threw up all over himself!

8 of 11 cousins




Right before coming home, we bought some fire works.  Jackson was so very excited to open this package of fire works.  He really didn't let it out of sight after getting home.


Tuesday evening, we finally celebrated Erik's birthday (it was on the 30th).  It was fun to have family there for it.  His chaser this year wasn't too creative, but the kids still had fun finding the presents!


at least I made a chocolate cake!  I am in love with recipe for cake and frosting on the back of the Hershey's cocoa package.  So easy and yummy!

Happy 32nd Erik!!!

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...
