Summer Fun


We got about 45 minutes of swim time before some afternoon thunderstorms closed the pool.  At least we got cooled off!

  
That evening we went on a date.  And we had this shiny corvette as our date car!  There is a guy that Erik home teaches that keeps offering his car to Erik, so he finally took him up.

For dinner we met up with Matt, Brian (both from ProBuild), and Brian's girlfriend at a fun Japanese restaurant.  We had a really entertaining chef.
  


Two weeks ago Monday was the start of swim lessons!  Anna and Wyatt were in the same class and I was happy to see them both comfortable enough to not have me in the water (though the next day they wanted me in and every day after I had to stay on the pool steps)

 At least I got one day of relaxation :)



Right after swim lessons we went to see the Disney Nature movie Bears.  It was playing for cheap at the Alamo.  We loved it!  It was all the more fascinating after seeing those bears in real life on our camping trip!

My friend Hannah Whitcomb had a baby shower during one afternoon.  It was a fun break in the day.  Jackson was at a friend's house and Wyatt and Anna enjoyed playing with the other kids there (and I had lined up a YW to help babysit them so that the Moms really could just visit for the most part).

We suffered through a couple of cold days at swim lessons (I guess we can blame the Polar Vortex?), I loved the way Anna and Wyatt were cuddling close to each other to stay warm :)

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...
