November

I promised my seminary students I would have fresh cinnamon rolls the morning they took their assessment test.  So, the day before I whipped up a batch, but  . . . .uh . . . they didn't turn out very well!

 

I still don't quite what happened, they definitely overflowed into the oven, but they were so super sticky- like not floured together at all.  It was weird!

 

 
However, I just kind of smooshed  them together as best as I could and the results weren't terrible.  They were weirdly shaped, but tasty!  One of my students had three, so they couldn't have been disgusting. :)


 

 

Just hanging out with my girl at preschool at Marker Miller.  I am one lucky Mom to get to spend my days with her! 
 





Jackson was so excited to get his taekwondo trophy!  They started doing trophies a while ago.  Once they filled up a sticker sheet (they got stickers for going to enough classes, remembering their poomsaes and kicking combination, etc) then they got a trophy.  I was sad I wasn't there when Jackson received it, but I loved seeing the proud look on his face when he brought it home!

Duplo play sesh :)

 

 

Cute dancers/gymnasts :) 
 
And lots of mixed emotions when we officially put our house on the market.  The week before we did that was pretty tough.  I actually took the week off of seminary, so I could help get the house ready and not have lessons to plan every day.  Luckily though (I shouldn't say luck it is a total blessing from Heavenly Father!), we had a good offer on our house after two days on the market!  That was a huge relief, especially after the Sunday on the market I had to live through!  You want to know what's not fun?  Getting yourself and three kids ready for early church by yourself all while keeping the house show ready! 

 
Had to laugh when one evening Erik and I took Wyatt and Anna to Jimmy John's for dinner and this is what they looked like.  Both kids had fallen asleep on the way there and they were soooo tired!


 
 
This picture made me laugh.  One day when going through the style section of people.com (don't judge), I noticed a dress that was seriously the EXACT replica of the "dress of my dreams" my junior year of high school.  I remember sketching and describing this dress to my friends when it was time to shop for winter formal gowns.  I guess the 90s (make that late 90s, OK?) are really back!

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...
