The Weekend

Jackson's first soccer game of the Spring Season.


Running Start




 

Jackson checked out a graphic novel about the Titanic (kid version).  Jackson and Wyatt have been pouring over the book this weekend.  We had a conversation about the mechanics of the ship, how it hit the iceberg, etc and I mentioned to Jackson that it really happened 100 years ago.  He kept walking around the house saying, "that is so sad."  I hope I haven't scarred him.
Friday evening was the much anticipated "5th graders versus teachers Greenwood Mill Elementary School Basketball Game."  It was fun, but super hot and crowded.  Wyatt, Anna, and I kept talking walks around the parking lot to cool off.
This girl loooooves blueberries.  I have to time the feeding of them right though, so it's right before bath time.
I loved how Anna matched her adorable doll that Grammy and Poppy got her.  I always look at the doll, as it sits on her dresser near where I nurse her.  The doll and I are buddies :)
Erik's making me two raised beds!!!!!  I can't wait until they're done.  I love that man.
Filling our Sunday afternoon with some CTR pretzels.

That's sad and cute about Jackson and titanic. Recently I've had to be careful with the news on when Ella's around because she picks up on things. It's a little sad when they start understanding that not everything is sunshine and roses in the world. We are doing raised beds too! how hard was it? We haven't started building just thinking. I can't believe how big your boys are getting :( And I LOVE that blueberry Anna. And I love that you are picking back up your love of dolls:)

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...
