Memorial Day

So, I didn't get any pictures from Sunday when my parents were here.  My Dad was still feeling crummy, which was sad.  He was OK enough to visit, but I just feel bad that he wasn't feeling 100%.  We had some friends over and we all enjoyed some homemade ice cream- I've used like 6 pints of heavy cream since we bought that ice cream machine-yikes!

On Memorial Day, we ran some errands and hung out at the neighborhood pool.




There is something so fun about just relaxing by a pool.

Oh boy Erik knows how to make me nervous!  He was launching Jackson around the pool and giving a nice show to everyone there :)


I think Wyatt looks like our body guard here- protecting us with his water gun.


. . . and now he looks like a sniper about to kill us!

He is so darn cute!



Wyatt also was loving blowing water out of the noodles.





Later that evening, we hung out in the front yard while the boys rode their new scooters (it's kind of a funny story why  they got those- maybe I'll share on another post) 








Finally convinced him to wear his helmet!


Love seeing Grandpa and Anna together!


haha I think it's funny that Erik is sweeping in this picture.  I'm not sure if he ever really sat down while we were out here. 


haha now do you see Erik tinkering with the porch lights.  I love him.

Anyway, I was so sad to see my parents go.  Living far away from them is so hard.  The good bye wasn't too bad this time though, because we will be with everyone in Utah over Pioneer Day weekend- yay!

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...
