Busy Friday

My busy Friday started on Thursday evening, with a drive to Girl's Camp.  I had an absolute blast and I'm pretty grateful that my church calling allows me to hang out with these amazing girls.  Maybe some year, I will go up for a whole week, but for now I'm content with going up on the Thursday which is when they do the YCL activity and ward devotional.  This year's activities were just superb; the friendly, loving, fun, spiritual atmosphere that is found at Girl's Camp is so unique.

On Friday our playgroup activity was going to Capacon State Park, about 30 minutes away.  There's a really nice lake with a sandy beach that is perfect for families.

Brothers!















We really had a blast.  Unfortunately our ride home was not so great.  As I was leaving the parking lot, I backed into a parked mini van for the first time in my life!  It was quite embarrassing and now I'm just waiting to see how much we need to pay to fix their dent our truck caused :(

I didn't stay too sad though, because we were headed straight to the Alamo to see Monsters University!  There is not a summer movie this year that I have been more excited to see than this one.  I also was really excited to enjoy the Alamo with the boys (I dropped Anna off at Erik's work, because after our movie theater experience in the spring with Anna we decided we need to wait several months before we try again). 
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie!  I thought it was so funny just like Monsters Inc.  I also loved that my actor crush, Nathan Fillion, was one of the voices haha (I started loving him after being introduced to Firefly and Dr. Horrible).  The boys gave it two thumbs up as well.  Hooray for good summer movies!

Fun that you got the opportunity to go to camp, Jenny. One of my friends I met her (Gavin and her son were in the same little class through the city) is the Young Women's President in her ward and just got back from a week of camp - as she was telling me all about it, I just kept thinking of all the fun times we had at Girls Camp!

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...
