Reunion Time

Last weekend, we were able to take a trip over to Williamsport, PA for the Logue family reunion (Janet's mother's family).  Friday evening we drove down and stopped halfway at McDonald's (Oh McDonald's!).

Can't get enough of Anna's cheesy grins!

We finally made it at around 9:00 pm.  Wyatt was pretty beat, but Anna rested and chipper from her nap in the car, came down with me and Jackson for a little pool time.  Hotel pools are always the most fun!

On Saturday morning I went for a run and found some pretty roads and trails.  Do you see the deer in the picture?  She was standing right in the middle of the road and just kind of stood there looking at me while I fumbled for my phone to take a picture :)

While Anna napped, Erik took the boys to see his Grammy.  Afterwards, we swam some more.


Just-woke-up-face.  So sweet.



At 2:00, we went to the reunion.  Last year was our first year going, and we were lucky enough to gp with Erik's parents and all of his siblings.  This year, without them, I obviously knew considerablly less people, but it was still really nice.  It's fun to get to know Erik's extended family, and the piece of land that the reunion is held on each year is just gorgeous.

Look at those bean bag skills! :)


Erik's great Uncle George has a very large collection of John Deere tractors- the boys were loving them!





Love.

I had a hard time convincing Jackson it was better just to take a picture of the snake skin- not bring it home with us.

Wyatt with a stick that "is" a bow?  Shocking!



After a delicious dinner and a little program it was time for the greatly anticipated tractor ride.
"It's time for the tractor ride!!"


The ride became a little hot and crowded for tired Anna and Wyatt.  Luckily they could crawl on Dad.

On the way back to the hotel, we had to make a Carvel stop and get some yummy ice cream!
Sunday morning, waiting to go to church
. . . except we never made it to church!  When we got into the van, we found a dead car with a dead battery.  Apparently the DVD player the kids were using got left on and plugged in all night.  Fortunately, a jump started battery was just a AAA call away.  Unfortunately, we completely missed church and there was no other ward that started after 9:30 until we got into Winchester, and of course, we wouldn't have made it to Winchester for the later wards anyway!  Sometimes, all you can do is try! :)  Anyway, since we were all dressed up, we drove for a while and stopped at this state park that had a beautiful overlook.  We had a little family devotional/testimony meeting (short and sweet of course!)


Pretty view.
I'm very happy with our weekend.  I love when we get to places, just the 5 of us.  And when we were are going somewhere to connect with other family members, it makes it all the better!

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...
