Birthday Boy

The kids did swim lessons a couple of weeks ago.  I really wanted to see a breakthrough with Wyatt and I think we did!  We put his head in the water every day and jumped in.  We were lucky and got Melinda Dow (who is in our ward and as sweet as can be) to be his teacher.




We took Maverick into the vet to see what he could do for Maverick's skin problem.  The vet here thinks he can fix it.  We got the growth on his back removed in VA, but it just came back.  I'm hoping this time it stays off for good!



This made me laugh.  I was chatting on the phone with Molly one day, and Wyatt could see I couldn't talk with him, so he figured out a way to tattle on Anna quietly.  "Anna had cinnamon toast crucnch" :)

Stopping for our first shaved ice of the summer.  Another item crossed off of our summer bucket list! 

Erik's birthday dinner at Wild Buffalo Wings.

This was the collage I posted for Erik's birthday. I love celebrating birthdays!

One of the presents that the kids gave him was picking all of these annoying weed flowers that have sprouted around our lawn (and they drive Erik crazy!!).  This week was hot, like 100 degrees hot, so it was truly a gift of sacrifice for them to sit out there and pick for 30 minutes :)


 


We met the Madsens (and Ethan who was staying with them for the week) at Thanksgiving Point.  We went ahead and got a pass there, so I know we will be there a lot more now!




haha I don't know who this kid is!  They were in this tornado wind tunnel thing.


Magic!



Jackson had another track meet and this time, Erik was with us which made it more fun of course :)




 



Neck and neck!

Loved seeing the way Chase and Anna were playing the other day.



We finally were able to do Erik's chaser and cake.  Again, I love celebrating birthdays!





My Mom and Dad gave him a fly gun for one of his presents.  Everyone had a fun time trying it out, and I found it very funny/disturbing how willing the kids were to stick their bums out and have Erik practice ;)


ice cream cake!

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...
