Boys' Day Out

On Saturday, Erik went up with a couple of guys from the ward to an NHRA race in New Jersey.  This was a much anticipated event for him, and it didn't disappoint.  Erik and I went to one of these things out in Sonoma, CA as one of our very first dates, so it actually holds a special place in my heart.  Not sure if its special enought to warrant a repeat visit on my end, but I'm happy Erik got to go and have some fun for a day!




As for us, we spent the morning at home (and reading Super hero books to Anna apparently) and then went to Jackson's soccer game.  We then drove out to the Dulles mall to look for a swim suit for me.  Hmm .. .  who do you think had the more relaxing day??

I do like going to the Dulles mall.  It's really big with a lot of great stores and a fun playground, among other things for the kids.







The shopping trip went surprisingly well.  I was able to bribe the kids into being patient with the play ground, ipad use, and a Mrs. Fields cookie.  Nothing like a good bribe to help you get some shopping done :)


After we got home, we got a sad phone call from Andrea.  Clay busted his chin open and needed to go into get stitches.  Since Tory was driving home with Erik, I had Taryn and Hadley come over.  The kids were sad that Clay was hurt, but very happy to have some friends to play with!

These two were so funny with each other!


haha so cute

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...
