Back to Utah

Gotta love the after Halloween clearance sale at Target.  For years this is where we would stock up on our superhero costumes for the boys to play with, but now they have mostly outgrown playing that way :(





 


Haha I don't even know how Wyatt did this, but he was proud to show me.

Squeezing in some last cousin fun.  It was so great to see them together!


Our drive back to Herriman was uneventful which is exactly how a long drive should go!  There was snow in Truckee and beyond which was soooo exciting for the kids to see, but luckily the roads were not icy.  The next day we took a trip to Costco and I was so impressed with how healthy it was.  I should have taken one of my cart today.  It was chocolate cinnamon bears, chocolate/caramel pretzels, and pumpin pie and that was literally it!

So this was the longest separation Erik and I have ever had in our entire marriage.  Just about three weeks.  While I was in CA and Erik was still in Herriman (before he left for hunting), he designed this elaborate treasure hunt with love letters and chocolates.  It was seriously the most romantic thing ever.  I guess separations are good sometimes!

Hmm this is a picture I took of a fundraiser a friend is doing, but it reminds me of the girls night I had (which is where I took the picture to remind myself).  It's always fun to go get dessert to celebrate someone's birthday, but both times I have gone to Kneaders (which is just down the street) and left the kids by themselves with a movie on, something has gone awry!  This time the phone wasn't working at home!  I came home to three crying kids and felt just about as bad as I could feel!!

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...
