Wedding!

 The wedding ceremony was at 4:30 and we were so excited!  We dropped the kids off at the Madsens house.  Andrew and his girlfriend offered to watch our kids which was really nice.
 The ceremony was so nice!  Katie's father's cousin is the temple matron, so it was special having the temple president do the sealing.  He gave some really sweet advice, and the whole thing was just grounded in love and a sacred ordinance.  It was really great visiting with my Grandmother while we waited outside too!  She kept marveling at the fact that we all were in the temple together which was a pretty cool thing.  I told her I thought Grandpa was probably there too and said kind of paused and said, "Oh well, maybe!"  For some reason that struck me as really funny.
 We enjoyed visiting and were waiting excitedly for the bride and groom to emerge!




 Yay!!!!!



 We then picked up the kids and changed into warmer, comfortable clothes since the reception was up in the canyon.  It was very beautiful!  There was a delicious pizza food truck for dinner.  I'm pretty sure Erik got like 8 slices!  There was also a dessert table of cookies and such.  Yum, yum!


 After an hour or two a program was started.  First up was a play by one of Derrick's really good friends.  They are a husband and wife theater team.  I guess they have a web series called Adam and Eve which I've heard really good things about.  And they put on Shakespeare plays in Provo.  Anyway, they created a play of Derrick and Katie's relationship which was soooo hilarious and fun!




 After, the play another couple judged a story telling contest.  All of the stories had to be about Katie and Derrick of course.  There were some cute ones.  Then the parents spoke.  Then Derrick showed a video he made of he and Katie.  I guess he stayed up until 3am making it the night before!  It was really cute!!  And then the dancing started.  However, Anna and Wyatt were done, done, done.  So we had to leave.  I felt bad leaving the clean up for the rest of the families, but it was way too cold and late for us to stay in the canyon.

The Winsborrows left our  house after Sacrament meeting on Sunday and the lack of sleep that the kids endured with their cousin caught with them ;)

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...
