We Love the Weekends!

 We all went down to Orem to watch Mariah play a part in the SCERA production of Footloose.  It was a lot of fun!  I love being in an outdoor theater!  The productions itself was fun.  The dancing was the best thing about it for sure (well other than seeing Mariah of course!).  The guy that played Will, we decided was the best actor of the bunch.  Oh and it was funny when I was racking my brain like crazy trying to figure out who the actor that played Ariel's father reminded me of!  I kept wanting to check IMDB haha  Then it hit me, we saw him in SCERA's production of Pinkalicious (as the father of course haha).  Anyway, I was pretty proud of myself for figuring it out on my own (and it was later confirmed in the playbill. 





 All of the costumes were super fun to see as well!  
 That morning I got a call from Derrick saying that he and Katie got engaged that morning!  They were in Canada for Katie's sister's wedding and Derrick totally surprised Katie with it.  I am very, very excited for them!!

 Another selfie to check out the new and improved color #sovain haha
 We met the Coles and the Childs up at Cottonwood Canyon for hot dogs and smores.  It was so fun!











 The next day was my second favorite Sunday of the year: the Sunday before the 4th of July!  Anna and I did our best to look patriotic :)  I was pretty nervous since I was subbing for the RS president.  I don't mind teaching, but I struggled with this lesson a bit.  It was just based on one little paragraph from the Living Christ Testimony.  It's always hard for me to create a lesson like that instead of going off of a manual- or even a conference talk is much easier!  Anyway, I was happy to have it done with!




 Erik was quite patriotic too!

Sunday evening we drove to Sandy to visit my Grandmother.  We had missed her 103rd birthday party the Sunday before, so I definitely wanted to see her!  I felt bad because when we got there she was already in bed, but she was happy to get out and visit with us.  She is so incredibly amazing!  I learned that she still will get on her hands and knees to scrub her kitchen floor!  It was fun reminiscing with her of the fun we had growing up and going to her and Grandpa's house in Roseville.  She had the most beautiful backyard with rose gardens, trees, vegetable gardens, and a ton of potted plants scattered around.  It was such a haven.

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...
