Summer Lovin'

For some reason I have about zero motivation to blog these days.  It seems something always needs doing right this instant, and when things finally calm down I'm too tired to do anything but go to bed!

I finally got around to going to one of the Farmer's Markets here in Winchester.  I recently read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (which I really really loved) and it rekindled my desire for food from the the farmer's market.  I was kind of disappointed that there wasn't really any organic produce at this one, but I guess there is another one open on Saturdays that has a bigger selection.  The bottom line though, is summer produce is super yummy :)

Jackson took some cute pictures of Anna


And then I took some of him and the rest of my sweet kiddos



I couldn't believe it when I came downstairs and found Wyatt like this . . . asleep!

making our Friday night pizza dinner 
Jackson was very adamant about flipping the pizza dough.  There is a Martha Speaks PBS kids game online that is all about flipping the dough and adding toppings-- he was very excited :)

Oh the joys of making forts

This one even got "decorated"
Oh and here's a video of Erik making Anna laugh.  Of course, I didn't grab the camera in time to catch the best part.

I totally agree about the time/motivation to blog. When there is a break in the day, I only want to veg and do nothing productive. I'm glad you liked that book. i loved it too! and I love summer produce too!!! Are you only eating organic now a days? Oh!! the video of anna is so sweet and cute and made me feel so sad i haven't seen you guys for over a year now!!!! Your boys are getting so big too.

About blogging....I totally feel the same way, but I keep hoping that one of these days I'll make my first book and that will make it all worth it. But if I don't feel like I have time to blog I sure don't feel like I've got the time to make a book

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...
