Family Time


On Thursday we had to check out Erik's new present: a remote control airplane (thanks for helping me figure out what to get Peter!).  We just drove to the empty lots behind our house (Wyatt decided he didn't want to put his shoes own so he stayed in the car with the ipad)

Cute little snow girl


Run, run, run!







That evening we went to 5 guys.  Yummy!  Afterwards, we went to the bowling alley.  It was our first time going here in VA.


Someone is excited!


Jackson checking out his first turn.  He did a really great job!

How cute is this picture??






Erik, of course was the winner of the night.  He's a pretty good bowler (and also I'm terrible)


This picture reminds me of baby Jackson and makes me miss him so much!!





Check out that professional level form :)







some action shots



We had a fun time!  There really are no other people I would rather spend my time with than these 4! (Don't you love the way I'm forcing Wyatt to stay and take a picture- definitely real life!)
 
On Friday, we took advantage of a roller skating coupon that the Poultons gave us.  It was so much fun (made more so because the whole evening was free!)  As soon as I walked into the skating rink, I was instantly transported back to elementary school skating parties.  Those were the best!


The rink didn't have the widest selection of little skates.  These roller blades were all that they had for Anna and they were at least 5 sizes too big.  They sure looked cute, but didn't last long on her feet!



Getting used to the skates in the practice area.









So if the skating rink itself wasn't enough to transport me back, the music sure was.  The DJ seriously played 90s music 80% of the time.  Erik and I were cracking up and loving it.  We are seriously wanting to go back on a date there.


Coupon included a delicious greasy pizza dinner :)


Wyatt was having a lot of fun just checking out the arcade games too.
Jackson loved skating and got quite good on his roller blades by the end of the evening.  He now really wants a pair of his own . . . we'll see.

On Saturday, we all went to a baptism together and then Erik and I went to Les Miserables!!!  It exceeded my expectations by far and was a movie that left me changed as a person.  Derrick told me about the soundtrack being sold for only $5 on amazon, so I've been enjoying reliving the movie over and over.  Oh and being out with Erik was as fabulous as ever.  Date night rocks! :)

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...
