Fun Stuff

I'm realizing that so far our summer weeks have been pretty similar in what we are doing and where we are going.  I need to find some new places!  This past week was no exception.  We hit up the library, swim lessons, Great Country Farm, and a couple of birthday celebrations.
The library's program this week was a pirate show.  It wasn't my favorite.  The kids got kind of bored too and started wanting to browse the books in the middle.


Sometimes I let my kids wear costumes in public.  Not always, but sometimes.





 Anna found a comfy spot :)



Post library treat.  Taking advantage of the Tuesday deal at Sweet Frog.


Swim lessons went OK last week.  Wyatt really misses his teacher from last session, and is jealous of Jackson that got to keep his teacher for both sessions.  He did go most of the time though, which was great!

Wednesday was farm day! We got to play at some more of the play grounds this time.  I even did the bike track which was so much fun!




I asked Jackson to pose like a bug caught in a web.  He did a great job!



















This week there were three "u-pick bonuses" which was a lot for us!  First up was blueberries, then black raspberries, and finally peas.  I know it was pretty hot for them-- little troopers!

Anna just loved to eat whatever berries she could get her hands on!

Jackson was a huge help!


The kids were really excited to find some fuzzy catilpillars among the pea plants!






Wednesday night we went to wish Camri a happy birthday.  She shared her awesome cake with us!  Brittany did such a great job!


Friday evening was Cameron's birthday party at the pool. It was pretty fun for the kids to play in the pool that they take swim lessons at and see some of their teachers life guarding.


They loved the cupcakes! :)



 The pool had some awesome fireflies that were just waiting to be caught!



 So proud of his bug he caught!

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...
