Birthday Girl


Can't believe my baby girl turned three years old on March 17th!  I can't even imagine what our lives would be like without the little ball of sunshine that she is.

I guess it would be a good idea to do an update on Anna so here goes:
Favorite show: she likes most of the Disney junior shows, but I would say her favorite is definitely Doc McStuffins!
Favorite movie: Frozen
Favorite food: probably pizza.  She's a pretty good eater and really likes green veggies, mac and cheese, fruit snacks, and she loves to steal my homemade cinnamon, apple oatmeal I eat every morning :)

Anna loves to play with her babies.  Her favorite activity to do with them is put them to sleep and feed them.  She loves reading books, especially books with flaps and look and find books.  She's been really into puzzles and board games lately.  She loves to listen to music, especially Doc or Sofia songs.

She is still sleeping in her crib.  And since she sleeps so well in there we are hesitant to change it.  She's full on potty trained during the day with very few accidents, but is still in pull-ups at night.  She looooooves nursery.  She has great nursery teachers and cannot wait to go there every Sunday.  She also loves to go the kids play place at the gym M/W/F.

Did I mention she loves babies? ;)  She will play with doll babies, but if she can get her hands on a real life one?  She will be the happiest girl in the room.

I am endlessly thankful for this beautiful, bright, sweet, sensitive, creative, talkative, smart, talented girl!


The day of Anna's birthday was . . . . you guessed it, a snow day.  The boys invited Austin to play, and I kept trying to sneak a pic of Jackson in his "cowboy get up"  this is the same costume he wore when he was four, so to see him wear it now is nothing short of hilarious!


When we dropped Austin off at his house, Camri and Brittany had made us these adorable St. Patrick's Day treats.  It couldn't have been more perfect because we were on our way to the movie theater as a special birthday activity.  
We saw Mr. Peabody and Sherman and we all really enjoyed it.  I am an absolute sucker for time travel movies, and I loved that it taught a little bit of history in the process.

Of course we had to end her birthday with a cupcake, a candle, and a "Happy Birthday" song!

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...
