Date Night

Man, I feel like it's been one natural disaster after another around here!  Hurricane Irene blew through yesterday.  Since we are so far inland and surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains it didn't do much to us.  It was pretty dark all day and there were periods of intense wind and rain, but that's about it.  Although while Erik was helping to gather information of who in the ward could take in families, provide service for clean up, vehicles, etc. for those displaced, if any, by the Hurricane, it did make it seem more serious. 

Saturday morning the kids and I met Andrea and her kids at Marker Miller (honeycrisp apples are in now, yay!).  That place really is fun, but we always seem to go when it's raining! 
Wyatt was soaked!


Saturday evening we got a babysitter, and went on a much needed date.  It was great . . .
. . . even with Anna there to crash it!  :)  It's funny how my perspective has changed.  Having just Anna with us really made me feel free- ha ha.  Even when she was fussy, it's not like there were two other boys clamoring for my attention, or trying to run around the restaurant, or getting food everywhere (I love you Jackson and Wyatt!!!).  We painted the town red and hit up Walmart afterwards, good times!   Oh, and we watched a whole movie last night (I usually crash and fall asleep in the middle of one or we watch half one night and the other half the next).  It was the Robert Redford one that came out a while ago about the plot to assassinate President Lincoln.  We both liked it.

Yay for date nights! It is funny how much more free you feel with just one baby! We've left Toa with a sitter twice and I felt SO free!

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...
