A Busy and Fun End to April


Documenting Wyatt's cute craft he made at school :)

I love it when Anna's ballet teacher invites the parents in to watch!  They are getting ready for their recital and Anna is SOOOO excited!

Wyatt had his first game and it was so much fun to watch!  I love that Erik has been able to be assistant coach this year.

He's gotten quite a few hits in!

These are two are just too handsome!

My best sour dough loaf yet!  Jackson and Erik love it (and I do too!).  Sad to say, my venture with whole wheat sour dough did not work out as well.  I'll have to try again next week.
The other day, Anna and I went to the gym like we always do on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  For some reason, Anna did NOT want me to leave.  I just couldn't leave her crying the play room (even though, I'm sure she would have become happy soon).  Knowing that Anna is going into preschool next year has just made me realize how short the years completely at home really are.  Even though it was frustrating to not get the workout in I really wanted to, I was so thankful that I could make Anna happy with such a simple thing.  As a full disclosure though, I'm not sure if I could have given up my workout so easily if I had more than one or two at home at a time (like when Jackson was the oldest and all three were at home all day).  Getting a workout in and a little break from mommy duties is pretty important to my mental health!  Again, I think knowing I'm so close to having an empty house for a few hours a day next year, changes my perspective.

And I still got a pretty good workout walking/jogging with the stroller.  With the weather being as great as it had been, this is actually the exclusive way I've been doing cardio.  I figure even though I'm not running the entire time, all of the blasted hills I'm going over makes up for it! 

We went over to a park and I jogged around the perimeter while Anna played.  Then, she decided she wanted to jog with me.  Times like these just makes me so grateful for my chance to be a stay at home mom and have these little moments every day.


April 30th meant one thing to our family:  Avengers Age of Ultron opening night!  We were soooo excited.  Anna, unsurprisingly (and thankfully) did not want to go to the movie.  As I felt bad, that we were leaving her out, I asked her who she wanted to hang out with while we saw Avengers.  She chose the Hunts and they very sweetly agreed to watch her.  We drove up to Roy, had some Chinese food all together then headed to the Megaplex in Ogden.  It was fun seeing the new temple in Ogden that was right next to the theater.  It looks so different from when we lived there!

Avengers Assemble!  The movie was so much fun.  I loved hearing Wyatt's running commentary and all of the characters.  That kid knows so much about the Marvel Universe!

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...
