Pool Time

Last week was super hot!  With the humidity, many days felt well over 100 degrees!  As you can guess, we spent a lot of our time at the pool :)  I know I've said this, but I really like our neighborhood pool.  I've met some nice people there, and it's just so darn convenient.  And there's an awesome "baby pool" section.  I can also guarantee that at least one family from the ward will be there at any given time, which adds to the fun too (especially for the kids!).

I'm wondering if Anna is going through a growth spurt, because each day at the pool last week, she was constantly running to out snacks to get a mouthful.  That girl is already wearing size 3T, I'm not ready to buy her new clothes already (OK, well I am, but our budget isn't).
 
New day, new snack :)

I've been so pleased with the Wyatt has been enjoying the pool.  He discovered that wearing the floaties makes playing in the water much more fun (he had always been too nervous to wear them).  It's cute watching him paddle all over the "deep end," having a great time!  Though he is still adamant about not getting his face wet.  One of our friends from the ward that was there each day we were, decided to take it upon himself to be Wyatt's coach and was trying desperately to get Wyatt to put his face in.  He doesn't know Wyatt's stubborn side! :)

We also used up some of our guest passes last week.  On Thursday, Wyatt invited Aidan to swim with us and on Friday, Jackson invited Connor.  The kids love inviting friends, but it does make it a little more stressful for me to be the only adult watching all of them!  On Friday we had a sad mishap as well.  Jackson was jumping with some of the bigger boys that were there and I saw him jump off the side and do a flip.  Well as he flipped, my worst fear materialized before my eyes.  Jackson's head hit the side of the pool as he entered the water!  I ran over to him, and I was terrified that he was knocked out and was just going to float to the top! Luckily though, he did come up, but was quite hurt on his head.  Though there was no blood, he did have a giant goose egg.  We went home after that, and made a rule to only "pencil jump" or safely "cannon ball" from the side in the future!

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...
