Autumn Treats


Sometimes we just can't quite get of our jammies before it's time to play! :)


My Aunt Tammy recently posted some pictures of my Grandma and Grandpa on facebook and I just love them!  I  mean for someone that is obsessed with the romanticism of the 1940s these pictures just capture it all.  I can hear Louis Armstrong singing, "I Wonder" while looking at these!


Amanda met me at Marker Miller a couple of weeks.  I seriously love that place in September!!
And of course if we are around "baby Hudson"  Anna will be begging to hold him!




So it's kind of sad posting these pictures now, because Jackson has since decided he doesn't want to do this anymore.  But we participate in the first three weeks of running club at Greenwood Mill.  I think it so awesome that they do this and that parents and siblings are invited!  The last morning we were there the newspaper was there to take pictures for a story they are running on it.  Greenwood Mill is the only elementary school in the county to have something like this.  Since Jackson is involved with so much right now (taekwondo and soccer), I definitley didn't want to force him to keep this up.  When I was telling another running club Mom that Jackson is quitting she said, "Oh that means you can't come now huh?"  I think she knew I was much more invested in this than Jackson was :)

Once a week, Anna and I usually meet Erik for lunch.  It's a total splurge and I'm not sure if I will keep it up always, but it is just so much fun!  This day actually Erik got caught up with something so it ended up just being the two of us.  What a beautiful date I had! :)



For YW recently I made 24 chocolate caramel apples and then taught them how to do it.  These have surprassed my apple pie as my favorite autumn treat!
And gosh dang it, I thought I hated candy corn but after buying a bag for the kids' lunch treats I discovered I do in fact love them.  Oops.

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...
