Sleigh bells are ringin' in their heads; Twistin' like little tops in their beds

We had the Hunt kids over last Friday.  The kids were looking forward to it so much! The boys keep themselves well occupied the whole time, every time.  But this time, I wanted to make sure there were some fun things for Iva to do.  We made and decorated sugar cookies and I gave her the crafts from Jackson's class party to make.

Cute girls with their cookies.



Wyatt has such a special relationship with Maverick.  It's so sweet to see.  I think in some ways it stems from Wyatt's love/fear of dogs in general.  But because Maverick is so mellow (and has only gotten mellower with each passing month) I think it gives Wyatt a real sense of safety with him.  Also, Wyatt's daily chore is to feed Maverick :)



I love these family members of mine so much.

I had to wait two days to see it, but we did indeed have movie tickets for Star Wars on Saturday evening in Orem.  I made sure we got there in plenty of time (ie super duper early).  So we had some time to kill at the theater.

 

Storm Trooper at the theater!

 

 

The boys were super excited, but not happy about having to take more pictures haha

Anna kept asking for photos of her blue tongue from her movie treat.



Yup, still blue Anna! ;)

As for the movie, I LOVED it!  Like way more than I thought I would.  I enjoyed watching our marathon of the original triology (I had always thought the movies were boring growing up and had actually never seen them all the way through).  But this movie, was just so so enjoyable.

Sarah and Sam were just as excited as I was about my favorite Sunday of the year!


 



Photo sesh with kids-- always a "fun" experience


During scripture study one night, I couldn't help but sneak some pictures of J and A.  I love seeing the kids in their tender moments with each other.




Can't really tell with all of the winter gear, but Wyatt was wearing red and green for Grinch day at school.  He was really excited about it.

It's fun to see my princess half marathon training sheet filling up with stickers!

On Tuesday night, ProBuild rented out a screening of Star Wars for contractors and their families.  At the last minute, Erik was able to use some extra tickets so the we invited the Coles and an extra friend for Jackson (Nick Pearson).  There was a girl's night that I had originally planned to be at, but when I found out about this, Star Wars DEFINITELY won out!  I would seriously pay money to see that movie again.  The fact that my new movie crush, Isaac Oscar is in it may help a bit (JUST KIDDING haha)


Seeing Anna's shopkin picture reminds me that for that screening of Star Wars we did not take her.  When we saw it the first time, she was quite bored and was super bouncy on my lap.  To the point where I felt carsick with all of the motion in front of me haha.  Anyway, we asked her if she wanted to go again or go to friend's house and said definitely a friend's house!  She stayed with Nick's family (they have a 4 year old that is Anna's age).

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...
