Baby Shower


Saturday was Amanda Clingerman's baby shower!  Lisa, Stephanie (Amanda's mom), and I threw it and it turned out really fun!  I'm so happy that I've been able to count Amanda as one of my greatest friends.  She's been so much fun to work with in Beehives, visit teach, hang out with at playgroup, and any other opportunity we get.  I'm so happy for her to have her second baby and first boy!

The shower's theme was nautical, so Lisa made these cute jello boats.
And pinterest supplied the idea for these nautical cutlery sets :)

There was lots of yummy food that people graciously brought.  My favorite was the Paula Deen pecan french toast that Stephanie made, yumm-y!

Bethan was a big help with the kids down in the basement.  Erik helped out with Bishop's store house all morning, so it was nice to have them occupied.


Oh, I should mention that Amanda made the cute bunting.  I felt kind of guilty that the shower honoree made her own decorations haha :)
Look at the sweet newborns!  Our ward is seriously a baby factory right now.  The mother's lounge is going to be seriously crowded by year's end!

Wanted to get a picture with Amanda and never did, oh well! It was a really fun morning . . . 


. . . until one of my "brilliant" ideas didn't go over too well.  I also found on pinterest an idea I liked.  People would write some little nugget of advice for Amanda on having your second, having a boy, etc, roll up the paper and stick it in a bottle.  Well only like three people ended up doing it, but no matter I was excited to smash the bottle in a bag outside to retrieve the papers to give to Amanda. 

But poor Jackson stepped on a stray piece and cut his foot.  Mother of the year award for me right?  I felt so bad!  Luckily, it didn't seem to bother Jackson too much, but still!
Next time my party will be broken glass free (no Jewish weddings for me!).

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...
