New Year's


 On New Year's Eve, we decided to use Grammy and Poppy's Christmas present of tickets to a basketball game (the kids got to choose between a BYU game and a Jazz game and they picked Jazz) and see a game!
 It was fun to see the lights in Salt Lake.
 We were seated way up high, but it was still fun!








 The boys were jealous of Anna's jazz shirt she got from a dancer :) 

 Part of our ticket included a hot dog for each of us.  It really was a great deal for a Jazz game!
After the game we came home and started our movie marathon.  This year the family voted on a "Despicable Me" marathon.  We started with Minions and just got halfway through Despicable Me 1 before the kids were all asleep haha  When it was close to midnight, Erik decided to wake up Jackson since he hadn't missed celebrating new years at midnight since he was 4.  I guess we were all exhausted this Christmas break!

More Sunday morning crafts that made me smile :) 
I wanted to bring a new book on vacation, so of course I needed Amanda's input on my YA choices ;) 

It seems that every winter vacation break we get burgers for dinner one night (either In N Out or 5 Guys), and our break was ending with no burger night!  I was not about to let that happen, so on Monday night we got some.  Yum!
Man, I'm still a little disappointed I gave up on this puzzle.  We had it out during Christmas and Anna loved working on it for a while- she made a ton of progress- and I worked on it little bit.  But then life got busy again, and I was sick of it taking up space.  Maybe we will try it agin next year!
This Barbie book from the library cracked me up with the nurses wearing these heels on their shift!
Between different coupons, Erik and I had lunch at Chick Fil A for $3!  Between us we got 3 chicken sandwiches, 1 chicken noodle soup, and 2 drinks :) 
One of Erik's Christmas presents came late in the mail.  I was so excited about these leggings, and I loved picturing Erik picking them out! 
Anna got an adorable matching mermaid blanket for her doll.  Kaitlin and Iva made them for the girl cousins.  How cute is that??

Our annual tradition of Old Befana coming and leaving calendars and donuts for the kids continued.
And the morning Erik and I left for Florida was the coldest morning in Utah of the year!  I can't say I was sad about traveling to a warmer climate for a couple of days!

On that Friday, it was Wyatt's turn to teach something to his 2nd grade class.  Every Friday, a 2nd grader teaches the class how to do something.  We found these cute cootie catchers on etsy and Wyatt was excited to have his class make them too!

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...

21 Weeks

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...
