Fun Stuff

I did my first snowy run!  It wasn't too bad.  The scariest part was the slippery side walk.  I quickly figured out that running on the street (like the bike lane) was much grippier.  The week after, I did another snowy run, but that one was awful because I had no eye protection on (like sunglasses) and the wind was blowing shards of ice into my eye!  It seriously hurt.  Lesson learned about that one!

I took Jackson to the eye doctor at Costco, so he could update his eye glass prescription and get contacts!  He was very excited about getting contacts!

But, there has been a learning curve for sure.  We have a couple of very frustrating mornings where he tries and tries and can't get them in.  That only lasted a few days, and now he is a pro.  I knew he turned a corner when while we were out and about and his contact accidently fell out, he was able to re-moisturize them with a solution we quickly bought at Walmart and then put it back in eye in a moving car!  I was very impressed :)

I think I sent this picture to Erik to be funny/make him feel bad (haha jk)  He was on his way to the airport to fly to CA for the weekend.  Peter was speaking about his mission in church and all of the Nyholm kids were able to go which was awesome.  I did hate to see Erik gone so soon after getting back though.

On that Saturday morning, I took the kids to the park.  It was such a nice, crisp day!




And later we went to see the Peanuts movie.  It was pretty cute.

 

The next Monday, Anna and I met Erik for lunch (we usually do this on Mondays now).  I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw my necklace that she had on.  She has become quite the accessorizer lately!

Wyatt received a birthday present from his Grandmother and Grandpa.  Its always fun to stretch your birthday out!


 
Another birthday bonus for him was sitting at the birthday table at Blackridge.  It is a pretty cute they do there once a month.  We were such newbies when Jackson had his birthday, I didn't even know about it!

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...
