Last Week of July


One of things I brought home from CA was one of my old ballet costumes.  Anna has really been loving it, because it has the Elsa colors.  I'm trying to figure out how I could best transform it into an Elsa dress for Halloween . . . if you have any brilliant suggestions, I'd love to hear them! :)




Last week was play group's Costco field trip!  I love this activity so much, I was willing to let the kids miss a day of swim lessons so we could go.  This honestly is so much fun.  We have the best Coscto worker that gives us the tour and the kids get so much free stuff it makes it well worth it!

Their favorite part is running around both of the refrigerated sections.





   

After the field trip we had Teya and Carter over.  We decided to walk over to Greenwood Mill because the weather was so fantastic.

It was so sweet to see how much Teya loved Maverick.  She pretty much never left his side the whole time she was over here.  Maverick was sure tired when she left though.  He really is getting to be an old man dog! :) 


Someone got into my lipstick for the first time (surprising it hadn't happened before, right??)  She was quite disappointed in the result once she saw her work in the mirror.  Don't you just hate it when you how imagine you look turns out to be different than reality? It happens to me quite often haha



Love seeing Wyatt ride this bigger bike!  He's excited to ride to school.

While I was watching the kids ride bikes, Anna kept going inside and bringing out more and more things to make herself comfortable on the grass.  Sweet girl.

  
Relaxing with some watermelon as well :) 

So I'm beginning to get to know the Alamo workers as I went twice last week (yikes).  I had told the boys I would take them to Captain America 2 that was playing for the discount price last week.  I was assuming Erik could have Anna at work for a couple of hours at lunch time (because he's sometimes super flexible and great like that!), but it happened to be the day that he was taking the YM to the beach for the day.  So, I kind of embarrassed myself and asked a friend if Anna could come play while I took my 8 year old and 5 1/2 year old to a PG-13 movie.  Anna had a great time playing with her friend Heather.  And we had a great time at the movie.  A couple of well timed bathroom breaks made me feel better about the kids seeing the seeing it :)

Last Wednesday was my day to participate in our wards "40 Day Fast."  We are taking turns to fast for 24 hours and then "passing the baton" so there is a complete 40 days of fasting for our ward members.  It was a really spiritually uplifting experience as I normally do not fast in the middle of the week.  The sister missionaries left me these sweet, uplifting notes that evening that made me feel even better.  

  
Second Alamo trip was a lunch date with Erik last Friday!  We saw Guardians of the Galaxy, because I have pretty much resigned myself to see any and all Marvel movies that come out :)  It was fun being with Erik and I thought the movie was funny.  Seeing Chris Pratt as the starring role has made me soooo excited for Parks and Rec to return for its final season!
  
Wyatt is getting pretty good at putting lego sets together by himself.
 
Ugh, I also had my first experience with getting gum out of hair. :(  Peanut butter took most of it out, but I did have to snip a tiny bit out.  I hope that doesn't happen again!

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...
