Visitors Welcome

Last Tuesday night my parents flew in for a week long visit- blessed and blessed!
Not an uncommon sight: grandchildren being spoiled with loving attention :)

On Wednesday we got some sandwiches from the Country Store (Erik's favorite) and brought them over to Jim Barnett park.


A rabbit hopped by, and Wyatt was showing us what a rabbit looks like :)


One afternoon, we went over to Jackson's school to eat lunch with him.  I love that his school encourages that. 
Anna isn't too keen on being held or strapped into anything, and pretty much just wants to walk everywhere.


On Thursday we went over to George Washington's office here in Winchester and to the walking mall.



Friday, we went over and picked some strawberries. It was HOT.  I seriously can't imagine being a produce picker all day. Those people are tough.








Anna really relished the grandparent love.  I'm sure she woke up this morning disappointed that she was back to just me during the day :)








haha, my Mom was taking shots of us on the trampoline and she got identical pictures of me and Jackson.  I just hope my picture taken on the descent- that's a pretty  lousy toe touch :)




Friday evening we got a babysitter and went to see Men In Black 3.  It was a fun movie.  Better than the original I think.  Any excuse to go to the Alamo is a good night for me though!

I love those matching pictures of you and Jackson. I think jadie is always disappointed when it's back to just her and boring mom. Oh well

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...
