Entertain Me

On Friday evening, the Meyers who live down the road hosted a movie night.  It was so much fun!  They have an awesome projector and surround sound, so it really was like a movie theater.  We watched Rio, which I had never seen before.  That movie has some danceable music!


On Saturday evening I took Jackson on a special date.  We started off with dinner at Subway which is always yummy!  I even let Jackson get chips and a drink- special! :) Our conversations were pretty entertaining.  They ranged from the size of a bald eagle's nest to how many years it will be before Jackson is 18.  He is one fun guy to be around!
Then we went to Milbrook's High School's production of Bye Bye Birdie.  Several of the youth in our ward were in it, so I wanted to go (not to mention that Bye Bye Birdie will always hold a special place in my heart for many reasons).  Jackson, who has been very interested in teenagers lately (see above conversation), said he really wanted to come with me.


The play was a lot of fun, if a bit long.  We didn't get out until after 9:30, way past Jackson's bedtime.  He said he really enjoyed the show though.  When I woke up Sunday morning I heard Jackson say to Wyatt, "let's play Bye bye Birdie.  Do you want to be the rock star?  I'll be the guy that punches the rock star in the face."  (that was an actual scene in the play and apparently it was quite memorable for Jackson!).

I just remembered that Jackson scored his first goal ever in a soccer game on Saturday.  He was so proud of himself- it was great to see him so happy!

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...
