Happy Mother's Day!

 I'm not going to lie, I LOVE Mother's Day!  I love the handwritten notes and cards, I love reflecting on the blessing of motherhood, and I love thinking about how I lucky I am to have the Mom that I have!  Wyatt and Anna were the first to give me their homemade creations.  I loved the picture and information about me that Wyatt wrote :)
 I loved seeing instagram fill up with posts honoring moms!  I really was feeling full of gratitude for the selfless, amazing mother that raised me and the fantastic mother I gained through marriage!  Both women continue to inspire and shape the person I am!
 More fun notes from the kids :) 

 Anna was the first to wake me on Sunday morning (not too early though- I did get to sleep in!).  She presented me with this bathroom cup she decorate, inside was a watermelon flavored stick of gum.  She was so proud to hand me this present- I loved it!
 I loved Erik's handmade card (though I know its just because he forgot to buy the card- obviously he didn't forget about the present, but seriously I took a lot time and thought to write that paper card out!)  I love the new fitbit, but I since Erik's old fitbit works just great I decided to take this back and get the Garmin running watch I have been wanting for a few years now.  It comes in tomorrow's mail and I'm so so excited to try it out!
 Well, since it was Mother's Day I got to pick the movie ;)  I picked The Music Man and the kids were not too pumped for that one.  I told them to give it a try for 15 minutes and then I would pick Tangled if they preferred.  So after 15 minutes Wyatt and Anna wanted to switch, but Jackson didn't!  He was really into it!  We watched for about 40 minutes and then I decided to appease the two youngest :) 
 The spoiling continued with Erik's delicious steak dinner!  The kids were pretty psyched about the Henry Reinhard's Root Beer! 



 Yum Yum!  I am so thankful for the blessings I have because I am a mother and supported in my motherhood by a wonderful man!

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...
