Game Day/ Inspection Day

Jackson had his first game on Saturday.  It was fun and entertaining to watch as young kids playing soccer usually is.  Most of the times it looked like Jackson's team was waiting for the other team to say it was their turn with the ball.  Unfortunately, the other team got the " be aggressive memo", and they were not giving up that ball :)  I know he still had fun though, and I LOVE his coaches and their emphasis on having fun and being safe. 
Yesterday and today, I kept hearing Jackson teach Wyatt to put his arm out and yell, "Gooooo Purple Dragons!"

While Anna and I were watching Jackson play, Erik and Wyatt were at the second house inspection in as many weeks for a house we are buying.  This time we are hoping to go all the way with the purchase (Our real estate agent assured me that the owners are not smokers nor ever have been, haha)

We are buying the house that is two doors down from the one we live in now.  It really is a great fit for us, and if it had been on the market when we were originally looking this summer I know we would have put in an offer then.  It's a much smaller home than the one we were going to purchase, but a much larger lot and that is really what I wanted all along.  I'm already imagining the fruit trees and garden I'm going to have next summer, and I can hardly wait!  We close on the 27th, so we are definitely in pack up and clean mode.  Erik started yesterday by putting all of the boxes from the basement onto pallets in the garage.  Since we are so close, he's just going to move all of the pallets to our new home on a fork lift borrowed from work.  I know the boys are super excited to see the fork lift when it comes :)

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...
