Potter 5K

A couple of months ago Amanda sent me a text asking if I had heard about a Harry Potter 5K in Utah.  I hadn't, but I loved the thought of doing that so I signed me and Jackson up!


It was very close in West Jordan which was nice.  It was also so fun to see some of the runners decked out in different costumes (one girl was in a hot velvet Death Eater costume complete with a mask!)

I let Jackson use my little ipod.  A couple of days before I put together a play list for him with all of his favorite songs: The themes from Harry Potter (naturally!), Jurassic Park, and Avengers, his favorite pop songs this summer (Dynamite, Honey I'm Good).  Anyway, I told him we would do walk/run intervals one song of each.  It worked out really well.  And even though the course was kind of lame (just going on the path through this park 4 times), it was a fun race!



With our super cute medals! 

The first thing Erik said when he met up with us was, "this is the nerdiest thing I have ever been to!" hahaha  Yup, right up my alley!
  
Derrick met up with us during the race!  He got there 15 minutes after the race started (lol), so he wasn't with us on the course very much (but since we were just going round and round in circle we caught up with each other a few times and chatted for a minute.

So fun! 
After the race they had the Provo Quidditch team (yup really a thing) on hand to teach people how to play.  A visiting quidditch player from University of Texas (4 time Quidditch World Cup no less!) explained it all very clearly.  And THEN he put on the snitch shorts!  I just about died!  It really was so funny.
After the race, Derrick came over for a bit.

The kids and I created some more stuff out of the goldiblox set.

And then we went out to see some more houses in the Parade of Homes.  Wyatt loved this superhero room of course!

One of the featured houses in Herriman was just the cutest,  It was a story book theme.
 

Anna requested I take her picture in the pretty girly room :)


I love going through the homes, because its like Pinterest: Live haha

The outside was cute as well.  And of course, this house is only two houses away from the Up house!

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...

21 Weeks

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...
