D.C. With The Hunts

We ended up having a great day at D.C.  We started out at the Holocaust Museum.  It was more of a bathroom stop really.  That museum is a little too intense and adult for the kids.  It was a nice introduction and someday (maybe?) I'd love to go back and really go through it.  Next, we went to The American History Museum which I was so excited about!  That's the one museum that I knew I would love, and I knew the kids would like parts of it as well (I do have pictures of that one that I'll have to add later)

We made our way over to the monuments, and stopped for pictures as we wanted.





 


 








 


The Vietnam War Memorial is always so powerful.


So just the week before, there was a big story in the news about how some crazy guy, jumped the black gate around the White House and made it all the way inside The White House, before he was finally stopped!  Anyway, when we got to The White House, and there was this really big perimeter sectioned off, I figured that was extra security precautions in place because of that incident.  We were pretty bummed that we couldn't get a good picture of us in front of The White House.

But we just did our best for pictures :) 
 


 

But then we figured out there had been an event that day, and we actually were able to get closer!  I'm really glad we stayed to take those far away pictures or we wouldn't have been able to.


 


We met up with some of the Hunts friends and visited.  And then we made our way back to our cars and drove back home.  It was a great afternoon in D.C.  Now I'm extra happy we did this, since it was to be our last time while Virginia residents, visiting these important monuments and museums!

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...
