I'm Movin' To The Country and Gonna Eat a lot of Peaches

Does anyone remember that song?  The boys and I listened to it yesterday on YouTube, and it instantly brought me back to Ms. Tingey's 8th grade science class at Delta Sierra . . . yikes!
Yesterday there was a peach fesitival at an orchard nearby.  I was a little too excited about this thing, planning for weeks to go.  It wasn't anything too special, but it was just right for our little family!
It was sprinkling when we left our house, and by the time we got to peach festival, it was pouring rain!  We debated if we should even go at that point, but the kids insisted.  I figured if nothing else I could get my produce loot for the next few days.

Those were hard earned peach cobblers.  I got soaked standing in line for them, and let me tell you they were delicious!  Seriously the best peach cobbler I've ever had.  I need to figure out a similar recipe now!

Kids are so funny, and will brave anything to play on a playground!



Anna, Erik, and I enjoyed the dry porch!


Luckily, it did finally stop raining, and the kids were able to go on the long promised cow train ride


 Except Wyatt didn't feel like going on the cow train ride without me.  So I literally squeezed myself into the tiniest car they had (the only bigger one was taken already!), and put Wyatt on top of my knees.  Not too comfortable- what we do as Moms! :)

Erik is so good at getting Anna to sleep on his shoulder when we're out or at church.

Scary (handsome) tiger!  I'm now a little too excited about the apple festival in October.  They will have 21 different varieties of apples, yum!

And here a few random pictures from the last few days . . .
We've had another nice break from the humidity and heat, hooray!




Using their free donut coupon from the library summer reading program.  Sorry about all of the open mouth, eating shots . . . we better work on that :)

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...
