Visit From Grammy and Poppy

Last weekend we were treated to a visit from Erik's parents.  They were taking a trip back east to celebrate Janet's mother's 90th birthday.  We were lucky enough to get them on each end of their trip.
Now this is the problem with procrastinating blogging like I have been- I can't remember really what we did!  However, once I see pictures I remember, so basically anything we did that didn't get photographed is not here (I need to get stay better on top of the blog!).
On Friday evening, Erik really wanted 5 Guys for dinner.  I must admit, it was pretty delicious!
Saturday morning, I do remember that Janet went on my long run with me.  I had never ventured out of the neighborhood, because the roads are pretty narrow and I've been afraid of the cars.  Since I had a running buddy, I decided to put both of our lives in peril and explore.  It was pretty hot and humid, but it was fun running in a new area.  I just went out straight 8 miles and then had Erik pick us up.  Janet did lose her sports watch somewhere along the way and that was real bummer.

Poppy was pretty excited to share his newest find, frozen Hostess cupcakes.  We were all pretty excited to try them :)

Jackson thought he was being pretty funny and asked if I was confused by where his face went.
Saturday afternoon, I started scrambling for a babysitter so that we could go out to dinner without kids.  I finally found one, yeah!

Erik's parents treated us to some Red Lobster.  I got the crab legs- delicious!

Fun date!


Our Sunday dessert was a fun activity for the kids.  Thank you pinterest for the idea! :)

Horrible picture, but if you look really closely you can see Erik's parents taking the kids for a walk yesterday evening.  They came back from their week in PA and NY yesterday evening.  Saturday we had a great storm that finally lifted the heat and humidity that had been hanging around for weeks and we enjoyed some beautiful, clear weather- hooray!!!

Janet took these cute pictures of the boys practicing their football skills :)

Robert and Janet left early this morning for their flight back to California. I'm sure they will be happy to be back in their own house, but it sure was fun seeing them!

So nice that you get to see Erik's family often even though they live so far! Nice that they are able to visit...I think it's fun you guys always go on a date night with them without kids too :)

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...
