Caught Up!


For the first time in months and months, I'm caught up on this blog!  Woohoo!  I'm finally ordering my 2014 books (I have to print the posts on two books).  I do like having these records, so that I can look back on our day to day life (no matter how exciting or boring or stressful or happy it sometimes seems)
We went to Jackson's last basketball game on Saturday.  I love seeing Wyatt read his books while supporting his brother :)


The weather has been very nice and spring like which of course meant that the kids thought it was hot enough for the sprinklers, which it was not!

 

Occasionally, I will let the kids buy "special drinks" at Target.  It was pretty cute seeing how excited Wyatt was with his the other day.  I also loved his conversation while he drank it:  Avengers: Age of Ultron predictions and other super hero-y talk :)

So crazy to see how big Jackson's shoes are now!

I loved Anna's outfit the other day and then realized that every piece of it was from Piper!  Good thing her hand me downs are keeping Anna lookin' cute :)

We went to the rec center pool the other day.  Jackson brought a friend, so I had fun watching these two play together.  They were very serious about their roles as doggies.


On Saturday, Costco was doing a book signing with Brandon Mull.  Jackson has read two of his books and received the Fablehaven series from Grammy and Poppy for his birthday.  I knew Jackson would be happy that he got to meet him and get his books signed, so I waited in the 45 minute line and had a good time talking with Jackson.  Costco was great and kept offering cookies to keep everyone happy.

I was amazed at Brandon Mull's ability to keep his smile up and treat each child that stood in line with interest and respect.  He was a super nice guy!

Since Easter falls on General Conference weekend we had our Sacrament meeting Easter service this last Sunday.  I must admit, I was pretty excited about the kids wearing their new Easter church clothes.  I know it's not the most important thing by a long stretch, but it's still fun to take a picture of them in coordinated clothes every Spring :)  Erik and I gave our first talks in this ward on Sunday too.  That always feels nice to have that done with!  I have to say I was grateful for the chance to prepare a talk though, I always learn so much and I loved having a refocused effort on studying the scriptures during the weeks leading up to Easter.

We had Paul, Danielle, and Brady over for dinner and had a great time with them!  Paul is finishing his masters this spring and has taken a job at the lab in Livermore, so we won't get to see them as often soon.  I'm pretty bummed because since moving to Utah we have finally gotten to hang out with them more than we ever had.  The boys ADORE Uncle Paul too!

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...
