Busy Week



On the second day of cub scout camp, I didn't have to go so it was just me, Wyatt, and Anna.  This summer Jackson will "watch" the kids while I do a quick jog, since he wasn't there we had to go to the gym.  The kids aren't the biggest fans of the day care center there, so I had to bribe with a trip to bowling alley to use our free summer bowling coupons.

And luckily the Coles came to join us for our summer bowling!




I had promised Wyatt that they could ride the bumper cars after bowling, but wouldn't you know that the bumper cars were being worked on while they were there and were not available!  So, I let Anna and Wyatt each play $1 worth of games at the arcade (which was two games by the way!).



The next day we met the Hanks at the reservoir.  Seth (who is Jackson's age and will be in Jackson's class this next year, yay!) has a kids kayak, so he and Jackson had a great time going out on it together.



Even when they flipped over haha!






Several ladies in my ward get together every other month for a card party where you bring homemade cards to exchange.  I am not a crafty person, so I was texting Amanda (who is very crafty) and my Mom (again very creative) for help! I think they ended up kind of cute, but they were the simplest homemade cards at the party by far!  One girl was nice and said she loves to get simple cards sometimes at the parties, because they are easier to mail to relatives out of state haha

Thursday and Friday were days that I had told Kaitlin I would watch her kids while she was at Girl's Camp (and Josh was going up for the night).  It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too!  I love those kids!



Not surprisingly, Manaia and Anna are the two that want their picture taken the most :)



Poor Asher was feeling sick and wanted to lay down all day.   He ended up taking like a three hour nap!




I finally was able to entice the boys away from the screens!




Iva and Manaia took a late nap on Thursday too!

These are the cards I got from the card party!

Friday morning, I wanted to take everyone to Thanksgiving Point, but once I realized how little control I had, I knew that having one adult for all of those kids in a crowded place was a bad idea.

So we ventured as far as McDonalds for some happy meals :)

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...
