Gingerbread House Parties

 I wasn't planning on doing Gingerbread parties for the kids this year, but alas I ended up doing three! haha  Anna's was first.  The one good thing about afternoon kindergarten is that we could do it earlier in the day when all of the kids were fresh and happy :)   It was fun to have a mix of school friends and primary friends there to share in the fun!
I didn't get a chance to take pics of the kids at the breakfast table, but they all did a great job and had a fun time!





 Jackson had his first orthodontist appointment in months and it was our first time at Dr. Rosevall's new office.  The kids were VERY excited about the iPads in the waiting room :) 

 That evening I had a hair appointment.  I'm really happy with the person I go to now.  She's just as good as the one in Draper, but much closer (and cheaper!).  I wish I could curl my hair the way she does though!
 While sorting and folding laundry the next day, I turned on Little Women.  One of my very favorite movies and books!  I hope we pick it for book club this year!

 Then Wyatt had his gingerbread house party.  His ended up being the biggest!  It was fun to see them all play football in the backyard after they were done making. 


 I have been organizing my Christmas boxes (sad to say that the past few years I have just been haphazardly putting  them away each year!).  Anyway, it was fun seeing all of our past Christmas cards together.  It seems like just yesterday the kids were all babies, and yet it seems like forever ago at the same time!
 I went to help in Anna's classroom while they made their candy trains.  Tis the season for sugar!


 A few friends weren't able to come to Jackson's party, but he still had such a great time!  There are so many great kids here.  It makes my  mommy heart very happy to see them all with good friends!


Anna requested that I take a picture of her all wrapped up in towels after her bath ;)

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...
