Last Day

On Saturday we took a trip to the Phoenix Zoo!  It was a ton of fun, made perfect with gorgeous weather!

Ahh, if I could just feel that warm sun right now.  I am currently watching snow fall, sitting on the couch with a blanket wrapped around me!

Trying to get a pic of all the cousins.  Don't they look cute in our matching shirts?




 

Erik still doesn't think we need a stroller on our vacation next month, but seeing how quickly Anna complained about walking changed his mind!



 

 


The petting zoo/farm area seemed to be the favorite. The kids stayed there for a long time!




 


The animal Wyatt most wanted to see was the African hunting dog.


Jackson most wanted to see this Indian village area, when we booked it to the area, it was closed :(
Anna's favorite animal was the giraffe.
After the zoo, we packed up, had dinner, and let the kids swim for the last time.

We decided to leave Saturday night rather than Sunday to break up our journey.  The Hunts decided to do the same, so we caravanned together.  They have been trying to stop and take pictures at all of the temples they can, so they suggested we stop at the new Phoenix temple.  I'm so glad we did, because I had forgotten that it was just a mile from our old house!  It's very beautiful.


The group picture in our shirts, Kelsey texted during our drive :)


When we finally pulled into St. George at about 2:00 am, Erik found Wyatt like this in the back!  Not safe- yikes!  We stayed at a Hampton Inn again (this time Jackson didn't go quite as crazy for breakfast haha).  We went to a Sacrament Meeting and then we were off.

Stopping for lunch in Beaver.  I thought it was funny that Amanda had just texted that she and Brett are on the whole 30 diet and I looked down and saw my big Diet Coke and chocolate toffee blizzard haha 

Zoning out in the backseat.

 

Handsome driver :)

I thought it was pretty funny that this once beautiful bouquet of flowers were left on our front step in winter by my new dentist's office as a thank you.  The glass vase had shattered and the flowers were completely dead.

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...
