Ward Campout

Well now it's been too long, I can't remember if this was a long run I did on my own or with the group of ward members that run together.  Honestly, they just run waaay too early for me!  My ideal time is to wake up at 6:30 and get out to run at about 7:00.  They leave at 5:30 or earlier if its a very long run.
 
That afternoon we drove out to the ward campout.  It was in kind of a weird place.  It wasn't very pretty and there was no water source, which we weren't planning on.  We had like one jug of water for us and Maverick!  Luckily some friends smarter than us had water to share :)

The kids were very excited to sleep in the tent!  I was missing our trailer however! Erik isn't too keen to get another one, because he feels like we didn't use it enough in Virginia, but the few times a year we would use it was so nice!






There was a little reservoir that was fun for the kids.  A couple of families brought canoes and kayaks to share which was great!



  
 



  


I love these two together!


 
 


 








These two crack me up together as well


I don't know what the heck happened to Wyatt's teeth in this picture, but he seriously looks like a devil child! 

Of course we were up bright and early to the sounds of kids playing.  Jackson along with 4 or 5 other boys his age all shared one tent.  Collin was in our tent.  I'm not sure how much I actually slept that night.





I'm so thankful for the great group of kids that are here!

Had to get some more rowing time before it was time to head out!

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...
