Birthday Time and Apple Party!

 The morning of my birthday some friends met for a birthday brunch!  It was really sweet of them all to come, and it was fun trying out a new place (and yes, the hot cakes really did taste heavenly).

 To spoil myself some more, while Anna was at preschool I parked myself on the couch with some birthday treats and watched 2 episodes of Gilmore Girls.  It was very nice.  

 And then that evening, the kids and I got dinner (I chose sushi) and we watched Beauty and the Beast while we ate.  I was really treating myself well haha  And since Erik was gone on a work trip, they kids all slept in my room and we watched  . . . oh shoot I can't remember the movie we watched that night haha
 That whole three fictional character thing that was going on was fun.  My 3 that I decided on was Millie, Jerry, and Elizabeth :) 
 And because Amanda is hilarious, she gave me three fictional characters that represent Maverick haha
 It's that time of year again: family pictures!  I still can't decide if I want the just blues/grays or if I want the pop of pink.  Decisions, decisions . . . 

 We bought a new 4-wheeler.  I thought it was kind of funny that Erik kept telling the kids it was MY -wheeler.  I really could care less if we had them haha
 Wyatt scored an awesome goal at the end of one of his games!  I loved seeing how proud he was!
 On Friday night, Erik and I went out.  We saw Brigitte Jones which was a really cute movie!   On Saturday night, we drove down to Salem to  Gary and Lori's son's wedding reception.  I really didn't want to go, but it was nice to see how happy Erik was reconnecting with all of those people.  
 Sunday walkin' it
 My parents went to Hawaii last week and they texted so many great pictures to us!  I sure hope Erik and I make it to Hawaii one day! I went with Troupe Cabana twice and LOVED it!
 I had to laugh at the Democratic gubernatorial nominee during their debate (ahead of the presidential one).  That is one goofy looking haircut!
The debate was pretty stressful to watch.  I think the kids could feel the stress in the air (sorry kids!).  Anna ran up to me, gave me a big hug and said, "Mom, you're my favorite golden hearted person!"  That girl is so sweet!
More cute Hawaii pictures from my parents! :) 


And I had to text my Mom when I wearing the shirt she gave me as one of my bday presents :) 
I don't know what this video is of, but it shows how much Wyatt is playing football these days.  He is always in his Steelers costume and he, Jackson, and Anna are always playing two hand touch in the backyard.  Its so cute! 
I had my traditional chocolate caramel apple party last Friday morning.  It was my last time doing it as a playgroup since Anna will be in all day first grade next year :(  I think I may host book club in October and do it with friends next year that way.  It really is fun!

And delicious!

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...
