Quick Trip to Vegas

I knew there was a big chance that the butterflies would emerge while we were away for the weekend in Las Vegas.  So I took them with us!  Sure enough during our very first night at Rebecca's house, they did!

Anna and I were so excited!
So the kids and I drove down to Henderson on Thursday.  We spent the night there and then the next morning I picked up Erik who had been in Mesquite for a work trip.
After a relaxing morning, visiting and listening to the kids play and have fun.  We got some lunch at Kneaders and then went to The Jungle Book.  It was a pretty cool movie!  It was very stunning visually speaking for sure!



When we got back to the Winsborrow's house.  I challenged Erik and Rebecca to a game of Ticket to Ride (I'm pretty sure I won haha), we got some dinner at Chipotle, and the kids went on a "night hike"

And we released the butterflies!  Two were "born" with deformed wings and couldn't fly :(  I wondered if it was because while they were in the chrisillades they were in a bouncy car ride to Las Vegas.






The next morning I went on a little hike on my own and then picked up Erik and Anna for some more.








At about 11:00, we drove over to Summerlin to spend time with the Urrutias!  We were sad to have missed James who had just flown to CA for his brother's missionary homecoming, but it was great to see Erin and her darling girls.
We LOVED the warm sunshine and their fun neighborhood pool!







Parker ended up getting a fever that night so we scrapped our plans to go out to dinner and Erik and I picked up some sushi and we had a low key night visiting, watching TV, and eating :)  Sunday morning we went to church with them and then we hit the road for Herriman.



One of the movies they picked was the Sandlot and I kept taking sneaky pictures of the boys laughing at the movie.  They especially laugh at the part when the kid is trying to kiss the pretty lifeguard by getting CPR haha
Yes, I ordered Anna and Elsa costumes for my AG dolls haha  I'm not going to kid myself and I will admit this is 75% for Anna's enjoyment ;)

I finally scrubbed my very dirt Birks I felt like a true granola hippie doing that haha
Last Tuesday night was book club.  It was also Marisa's birthday so she picked a movie for us all to see: The Huntsman.  It was pretty entertaining.  I loved all of the crazy ice queen costumes that Emily Blunt got to wear!

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...
