Blackridge Color Fest

Haha I'm realizing that one by-product of Anna being my only one at home is pretty much all pictures are of her and what she does during the day! ;)




I remember she was quite insistent on how she wanted to pose for these pictures.  She kept checking them, then doing some more :)

I watched two cute kiddos for a friend.  The little boy, Zach, is in Anna's sunbeam class and then his little sister, Ricki is 1 and just as cute and squishy as can be!  She napped most of the time, and I was anxious to play with her when she finally woke up!


Anna's room was a WRECK at the end of the day haha



That evening was the boys' school's fundraiser.  It was a carnival/color run.  There were a few popular food trucks out, and I had been wanting to try waffle love for a long time so we got in line for that one.  The line was FOREVER!  I was so tempted to just get out, but I persevered and my reward was the most delicious thick, crispy-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside, sweet waffle. 




Because the waffle-getting took so long we didn't have time for the bounce house or other stops.  Jackson did use his allowance money for a kendama (signed by the kendama world champonship runner-up! haha) and then I needed to man my station for the color run!



I was happy that helping me at the orange table was a friend I met from Anna's ballet class!  Her daughter started kindergarten this year, and it was fun to hang out with her.























haha so very orange!

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...
