Horseback Riding


Our last morning in the cabin meant they we needed a group shot of all of the kids of course!  Leave it my boys to be super goofy! :)
We decided to do a trail ride through Harriman State Park, right outside Island Park.  The prices were very reasonable and it seemed like a fun "last day" activity.

First, all of the small kids who couldn't go on the trail ride were able to ride a horse around the corral.  Anna enjoyed it for about 30 seconds, then was done!  Wyatt decided he just wanted to enjoy the horses by looking at them.  Toa and Manaia loved their corral ride though!





Jackson wanted to go out with the Hunts while Erik and I stayed with the younger kids.  He had no problem getting on his horse and taking off.

While we waited for the Hunts and Jackson to come back, we were able to pet the horses and any kids that wanted to sit on one again could.


Wyatt got on!




Next was Erik and my turn.  Jackson, Iva, and Asher just stayed on their horses.
The trail ride was really pretty!  We saw lots of deer, pretty birds, and beautiful vistas.  I am not naturally comfortable on a horse at all, but hopefully the more I get one the easier it will be? (I'm counting on that!) 
After we were done, we drove on to Rexburg for lunch at Jack in the Box (not to be found in the valley here in Utah and Josh really likes it), and then continued on our drive back home!  We were exhausted, but happy.  This was such a great little vacation for us!

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...
