Our Week

Anna had two friends over (who are sisters) the other day and they put on a very special performance for me :)

 

 

I went through the kid's books and weeded out the ones they have outgrown.  This is the first time I have ever done this, and was kind of hard!  Some of these books came from a big box that a visiting teacher gave to me when Jackson was a baby.  I was SO excited for that box.  There are other books that I remember picking out so carefully and spending our hard earned few spending dollars we had while Jackson was a baby.  Reading to him every afternoon was one of my very favorite things to do! It would be awesome if I could pass them along again to someone that could use them!
 
Thursday's run blessed me with some sun!!  Man it felt good to have sun shining on my face (which was the only thing uncovered because it was still cold).  I'm pretty sure I have a serious case of seasonal affective disorder, so any sun is a very good thing for me right now!


Thursday afternoon I took the kids plus a friend for Jackson to the rec center pool.  Anna's friend was her baby alive and luckily Wyatt was pretty happy playing with Jackson and Seth.  I just can't be the only adult watching too many new swimmers!

Last night, Erik got home late after church meetings and I had frankly had a really bad day.  I vented to him for awhile which felt amazing and then we decided to run to Smith's for treats!  It was like the most fun to me.  Totally reminded me of being young and carefree.  Yup, going to the grocery at 10:30 at night is my idea of being young and carefree haha  Anyway, the ironic thing is we went for ice cream, but both ended up wanting something different.  I discovered this Australian yogurt that tastes exactly like lemon meringue (and has the same calorie count-- not light!)  Erik's treat was spray cheese and crackers haha

Anna requested this hair style this morning.  She saw it on one of the baby alive you tube videos!

And the kids had dentist appointments. They did great!  And they always get so excited about the balloon animals the hygienists make for them.

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...
