First Part of March Randoms

Wyatt, showing me what a groovy cat he is.

love that girl

I loved Jackson's chapel that he made out blocks.  Complete with pews, podium, and wall architecture :)

cutie pie

Anna and Wyatt have both had coughs and colds.  This has caused Anna to crash wherever she is by late afternoon.

She's really into markers right now.  Yay for Mom! :/



Wyatt had been begging me to let him to take a bath in his swimsuit like he was at the beach.  His little happy dance shows how he felt about how the situation!




A few days ago, it was a decently sunny day so Wyatt, Anna, and I dragged our winter-hibernated bodies outside for some fresh air.  I got overly excited about doing some kind of garden prep, so I started frantically pulling some old weeds.  They were really really stuck in there, and as I finally pulled them out I realized they were chives with some new growth on them!  Are chives are a perennial that grows back after winter? Anyway, as often happens, I felt like a garden dummy. 


Oh boy, the kids found a favorite place to eat . . . Golden Corall! Bleh! I went there for a visiting teaching lunch appointment last year and Wyatt fondly remembers the cotton candy that he got for his dessert.  When we were figuring out where to eat last weekend, Wyatt piped in with his suggestion of family buffet dining at its finest :)  Jackson thought it was pretty great too.  Erik loved it, because the kids seemed to like watching the chaos around them and were pretty well behaved.  Only Anna seemed to have her doubts (cotton candy was definitely not her thing!).

Erik had to work really late on Monday getting our audit stuff ready (Yup we were audited!  Luckily, everything came out just fine.  We were flagged the year we did the majority of our crazy moves. I think moving to three different states- and just a bit later our fourth-, buying a house, and selling a house puts up some red flags :) ).  Anyway, I had a rare night of having it together.  We had a FHE lesson while the kids took a bath, did homework, went to Tae Kwon Do, ate PB sandwiches and apple slices in the car, and then had our treat at Sweet Frog.  Erik will be gone this week for a couple of days, and I guarantee I won't be as put together.  Lightning usually doesn't strike the same place twice after all!







Another one of Anna's crash naps.  Jackson thought it would be fun to cuddle up with her.  At first I was mad he was messing with her while she was sleeping, but then I noticed how careful he was being.  And she didn't wake up, so it really was kind of sweet. :)

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...
