Start of Soccer

Wyatt and Anna started their soccer season this last week.  Erik is coaching for the first time.  And they ALL are doing a fantastic job!


Wyatt's first practice and game were very wet and soggy.  Anna's game was canceled the day before and apparently Wyatt's was too-- we just didn't get the memo!

Best friends on a team :)  Wyatt's friend Spencer is on the team too!  This is a fun change for us.  For whatever reason we always had Jackson do soccer through Berryville parks and rec center in VA.  This meant that any school friends were not on these teams.  I have a feeling he would have enjoyed the sports he played a lot more if he had had friends on the teams!



The next day was my chocolate caramel apple making party/playgroup. It was sad doing it without my VA friends!  Luckily, there are a bunch of great Moms and kids that wanted to come here. :)
I loved Anna's little fall outfit, so naturally . . . picture.  She only had it on for about 30 minutes when next thing I knew, she was in a non-matching pink patterned skirt and shirt haha


Some of the apples that were made.  There were 6 moms (Erin, Amy, Julie, Catherine, Marisa, and Heather).  Each of them had between 1-3 babies, toddlers, and preschoolers and of course, it was a cold and rainy day so everyone stayed inside.  It was loud, but fun!  It made me miss hosting playgroup in Winchester!







I was very insistent on getting a group shot of the apples haha


More crafts in and out of the bathtub! ;)

Anna loves that front area of Old Navy.  I think she misses the fake dog that used to be there, but now they have these cut out stands, so she's happy :)


We try and meet Erik for lunch about once a week.  I was very happy to find a non-McDonalds spot that is easy for us both to drive to and kid friendly!

Oh boy, Anna's Halloween costume came and she is sooo excited!  She's going to be pop star (or sometimes Anna says rock star)  We are still waiting for her sparkly microphone, and I'm not sure what shoes she will wear.  Anyone have any suggestions? ;)

The day before Anna's soccer game, her and Chase wanted to practice.  It was seriously adorable.


And the next morning was her game!  She did awesome!  We definitely don't have to tell her to get in there and be aggressive like we did with the boys!  If anything, we need to tell her to cool it down, especially when she starts with elbows out knocking people out of the way haha  She will tell anyone that asks her about her game that she scored TWO GOALS!  I hope she continues to enjoy it, because it so fun to see her having a blast out there!




I love seeing that little French braid out there among the crew cuts! ;)





Her proud smile after her first goal was priceless!















High 5s!

You did great Anna!


Next up was Wyatt's game!  He seemed to really enjoy it too!  He really ran fast and hard and made some awesome kicks!  


Go Wyatt go!






He played hard!



I just love this kid!!

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...
