Last Week of September


The Sunday after camping Jackson woke us up wheezing pretty bad.  His cough had gotten worse-- to the point I thought he should get seen by a doctor.  So while Erik was gone at church, I took ALL THREE KIDS to Urgent Care (I know absolutely crazy!).  I prepped for it by taking a big bag of books and puzzles so the kids wouldn't be tempted to play with the germ infested toys that would be there. It was stressful and boring during the hour or so wait before we were seen.  And guess what?  During that hour Jackson's wheezing actually got better!  Ugh!  The Dr. gave him an antibiotic, but I never even ended up giving it to him.  The whole thing was pretty frustrating.  We had a few sweet moments at home though when I had the kids pick out Friend articles for us to read together.  Seriously the Friend magazine is like the best thing ever!  I also made my first batch of soft pretzels.  They were so delicious and it was pretty much all I ate that day. :)  


After Erik was finally home, we had a nice time hanging out together and ya know dog piling on each other :)

On Monday morning Anna and I picked up our CSA box and Anna was super excited to see all of the bunnies out!  Every week we stop and watch them, but they are usually hiding in their burrows.

The morning was a great time to see lots of the animals eat their breakfast too!  We will need to go in the morning more often.

Pretty proud to have found an egg on the ground.  It was a battle to get her to leave at the farm and not take it home!

Such a cutie pie!

Later that day Amanda came over to make some more caramel, chocolate apples. Yum!  And of course, Anna was stalking Hudson  :)

After school, Jackson had his try out for the school talent show.  He is doing a taekwondo routine and I'm just so proud of him that he wanted to do it on his own!

That night Austin invited a couple of friends to celebrate his 8th birthday.  The pool and hot tub were heated very warmly so the boys were having a great time!
And look at this absolutely adorable picture of my Mom.  She was invited to go paddle boarding by some of her long time "Stockton friends" and she had a great time.  She's a great example of trying new things!

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...
