White Christmas

Before last Monday, we had not had any snow . . . like none.  So the chances of having a white Christmas seemed pretty slim.  But would you believe that on Christmas Eve we actually saw some white flurries come down!  Jackson was so excited, he immediately went out to get a feel (and taste).


After a couple hours of it coming down, we bundled up and went outside.  I'm glad everyone had the snow clothes they needed!

Don't worry, I finally convinced Wyatt to zip up his coat- crazy kid! :)








Anna insisted on doing her usual backyard things, like the trampoline and swing. This girl likes consistency :)



Maverick and Cujo were having as much in the snow as we were!



The green slide was so fast with the icy snow coating it.


Trying to catch the snow with her tongue :)


A couple of days later, we got even more snow so we decided to play some more.  The air was colder and a had a wind to it.  It also started to come down as a hard, freezing rain after 10 minutes or so, so we were not out as long that day.






Sorry Anna, but this is what the third child ends up looking like in snow gear.  I think the snow suit was a hand me down even for Jackson :)

Anna's snowsuit brings back happy memories from Rexburg...I'm pretty sure Iva wore that up there!

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...
