It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas

Erik and I were invited to go to a Jazz game with a costumer of ProBuild's.  It was so fun!  It was both Erik and my first NBA game.  The Jazz aren't that great of a team, but luckily they did win this game :)


I was very impressed with myself when I recognized one of the dancers from SYCYCD!  He was the guy from Lehi that made it to the final round in Vegas and he served a mission in a friend's area.  Anyway, it looked like the guys (including this one) was just for this one latin dance they did.  To be honest, I was a little underwhelmed with the Jazz dancers.  I would think with how talented Utah is, they would be more impressive.  I was also a little disappointed by the lack of hip hop music during the game in general.  Like don't they realize that pumps up a crowd more than other types of music??

Oh man the mascot (I can't remember his name) was ruthless!  He kept spraying silly string on kids that looked like they would like it (they did) and bald men.  This one guy was in a super nice suite and he looked MAD about getting silly stringed.  Of course this just egged the mascot on, and he came back with a whole tray and just sprayed, sprayed, sprayed.  Oh and this was after the bald guy left to clean himself up haha



 

Anna and I couldn't wait any longer to decorate for Christmas, so we did it a week and a half ago.  I have been looking forward to putting up the ornaments friends gave me at the Ugly Christmas Sweater party for a year now!  Of course I got teary eyed when I put them up and I thought about each friend that I miss!
Amanda's was just amazing!
 

 

That evening after tithing settlement, the kids and I finished putting up the rest of the ornaments.  I love Christmas time!



Erik and I got two dates in one that week.  Since the kids went up to Roy for their cousin sleepover, we went to see Mockingjay.  It was really intense- especially because I had accidentally purchased the tickets in the IMAX screen.  Seriously, I was having heart palpitations!
 

 

Erik put the Christmas lights up last Saturday, so the boys wanted to go up on the roof.  It is much easier being up on our pretty flat roof than other house we have had! 
 

A little elf named Susan visited our house last week.  As per our family tradition, they left their shoes by the tree to be filled with a few goodies.  This was the first year however, that we get to see our elf every day!  Erik was a little worried when he thought the elf filled their shoes every night, but I assured him she only fills shoes the first night ;) 
 

Wyatt lost his first tooth while he was at the Hunts!  It was pretty special.  And of course being the sweet boy that he is, he wrote the tooth fairy a thank you note.  He thought it was pretty funny that she came on the same night as our elf!

Well, the next night Sarah's mischievous twin, Susan, came.  I'm pretty sure it was on accident that there is a Sarah and a Susan, but the kids are more than happy to have twin sister elves!

Putting the finishing touches on the Christmas decorating.  I put ribbon the other day, but miscounted at Walmart and I still need two more ribbons!  Oh well.

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...
