Beginning of December

Well December started weird and busy.  Weird just because the things we usually do at the beginning of December just were not happening.  It was all about packing up stuff we would need for Christmas and the apartment in Utah, Erik doing last minute touch ups on the house before we moved, and trying to keep the kids' spirits up and happy amongst all of the changes.
I also changed out Anna's earrings for the first time!  It was pretty exciting, except it didn't last long!  A few hours after putting in her new pair, I realized one had fallen out and gotten lost.  I decided to just put back in her studs (that had a locking back) and wait to change out her earrings.  They still get a bit swollen and red from time to time if I have slack on cleaning them with the special cleaning solution.

 

Ok, we are definitely known for getting comfortable in a Target store, but as I saw this (anna sprawled out on a Sofia bed with a bag of popcorn), I knew we had gone too far!  Those people are probably glad to have gotten rid of us haha
 

"special drink" and required tongue color checking time! A Target favorite! (By the way, since the boys have been out of school since December 16th, and its now January 15th, going to Target with just one little one seems like a long forgotten dream!)
 


I was also pretty pleased with myself for using coupons and clearances at Old Navy to get all of this for $25!
 
Also at this point, I was pretty much not cooking meals.  Lots and lots of Chick-Fil-A and on special occasion (like the Saturday before Erik left for Utah) a Cracker Barrel for lunch ;)

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...
