The Weekend

I was so very sad to hear of Alan Rickman's death on Thursday morning.  Like so very sad.  I have never had this type of reaction to a death of someone I don't know personally, but for many reasons knowing that the world has lost Alan Rickman is just devasting.  It probably is because he played Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility which is a very major, important movie to me.  I didn't remember this, but Kathryn reminded me on facebook that we saw it like 7 times in the theaters!  I remember really loving that movie. It is absolutely, breathtakingly gorgeous.  The soundtrack was one of the first strictly classical pieces of music that I could listen to all day.  And the acting and writing is suberb.  And the romance!  Anyway, I kind of had a crush on Alan Rickman without realizing it.  Of course he played Snape with so much love, emotion, and villainy that could possible be expected.  He was the PERFECT Snape!  I also have always loved to hear fellow actors (especially the Harry Potter kids) who talked so lovingly about Alan Rickman, how he supported them way above and beyond.  Anyway, I watched Sense on Friday morning while I was cleaning up and doing laundry and was literally bawling.  So many feels to try and handle.

Erik and I celebrated our 12th anniversary on Friday night!  Technically our anniversary was on Saturday, but we wanted to go and celebrate on Friday.  I'm so thankful to be married to Erik!

Saturday was a 15 mile run!  In the winter-- yuck.  It took forever long, because I ran 6ish miles outside then went inside the gym and ran 5ish miles on the treadmill, then put my layers back on and tried to run another 4, but my body was just wasted.  I so wanted to quit.  I decided to just keep going doing 1:1 walking/run ratio, and that got me through mentally after a few minutes that I could back to mostly running and I finished my 15.

I sent this picture to Erik's sisters because it made me laugh.  We could never live in a "normal neighborhood" where it is frowned upon to go out and try and shoot the quail that is in the backyard haha When I asked Erik why he wanted to, he said, "Quail are good eating!" ;)

Anna was making different doctor tools with her play dough yesterday, and fixed me up so nicely!  I was more than happy to be the patient that just has to lay down! :)

Her big book of boo boos!

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...
