Hiking the Y!

Memorial Day weekend is always so great!  I love that feeling that summer is really here.  This year here in Utah, the weather cooperated and it seemed that we were finally past the cold, rainy weather that we've had in May for sunny skies!  On Sunday we watched some You Tube Memorial videos of soldiers and histories of WWI and WWII.  Then we watched Pearl Harbor on VidAngel which was so  freakin' long!  Even with it edited and some stuff taken out, it took FOREVER.  I forgot how long that movie is.  It's hard for me to sit still watching a movie for that long on a Sunday afternoon.  I've already sat for three hours at church!  It also drives me crazy that Erik always falls asleep next to me while we are watching our family movie on Sunday.  I think I'm just jealous that I'm the worst nap taker ever haha

Anyway, on Monday we met the Hunts at J-Dawgs for lunch and then made our way over to Y Mountain for a hike!
 It really was a perfect day for a hike.  The high was only like 77, but since there is no shade as you go up Mountain, any hotter would have been miserable.

 It was pretty steep, but the kids did great! 
 Cool view!




 We were pretty happy when we made it to the top!





 The downhill was definitely faster, but harder for me!  My knees, shins, and achilles do not handle downhill very well.  In fact, those things were sore until this morning really!


After the hike, everyone came back for dinner at our house.  Oh I should mention that Peter met us on the hike, and then he brought a friend over to our house afterwards.  Paul who is in Utah this week for work came for dinner too!  And I drove over to SLC to pick up a certain little pup . . .

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...
