One Week in October

The Monday after Wyatt's birthday we used his free Baskin Robbins coupon and had our FHE treat there.

Tuesday afternoon, meeting Erik for lunch at Wendys.  Silly Wyatt pretending be Fiona from Shrek :)




Tuesday night was Jackson's very last soccer game of the season.  His official last game was going to be the next Saturday, but since we knew we would be camping this was our last game.  It was so cold!  Fall weather has certainly been all over the map this year.












And it got really dark!  This was literally all we could see at the end of the game haha

I'm so proud of how hard Jackson worked this season, he did a really great job!  (Don't you love how he was wearing my vest under his soccer shirt?  The things Moms do for their kids :) )

We decided we needed to warm up with some Sheetz hot chocolate.  Then I remembered I really hate the taste of Sheetz hot chocolate. :)

Funny girl in Wyatt's shoes.  She is really into wearing other people's shoes right now!


Trying to take a picture of her pretty braid . . she wasn't cooperating!



Walking to Greenwoold Mill requires some extra layers some days.


As you can see Anna was pretty comfortable!

Thursday evening Jackson had his belt testing to get his purple belt.  I love watching him progress in Taekwondo.










Go Jackson!  It took him a couple of tries, but he broke his board and passed!  I love seeing how proud his of himself.

Friday morning Erik came home to pack up the truck for camping and I went on my long run.  This time, I drove into Winchester by Jim Barnett park and did half on Pleasant Valley (where all the stores are basically) and half through historic downtown Winchester.  It was a really fun run.

I quickly took a shower and then with Wyatt rushed over to see Jackson perform in the daytime school talent show.  The main show was that night, but they let Jackson do his during the shorter daytime one since we were camping.  (I was secretly glad I could just see the 30 minute show instead of the much, much longer version too).  I was so impressed with Jackson.  He didn't even seem nervous.  This was his complete idea to perform in the school talent show and do his green belt taekwondo pomsae, and I just was so proud.  



I thought one of the fifth grade class's "f'lash mob dance" was really cute
Jackson did a great job.  He had a lot fun doing it in front of all his friends too!

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...
