Henderson with my Mom!

After we got back from the Strip, my Mom arrived!  It was such an unexpected fun surprise that she decided to join us.  A few days before I came to Las Vegas, Rebecca asked me if I wanted to see Santino Fontana perform.  Even though it extended my plans by a day there was no hesitation for me to say yes! I LOVE Santino!  Anyway, I told my Mom about our plans and she wanted to come too!  The three of us plus Derrick saw Santino Fontana on Broadway when we saw a bunch of musicals June 2013, and Rebecca and I loved him in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend too :) 
So, my Mom just decided to get in the car on Thursday and join us for Friday's show.  Well, while we were walking to the Bellagio on Thursday, I saw on twitter that Santino Fontana was stuck in NYC and was canceling his Friday show!  It was so disappointing and hard to figure out what to do, because that would mean extending my trip by another day (and not having very much time at home to get ready for school to go back on track when we returned).  And it meant that my Mom would be gone for some Sunday stuff she had to do for her calling, etc.  But the pull of Santino's voice was too strong and we decided to do it haha.
So anyway, now we had Friday all day to do something fun with my Mom!
While we were planning out our day, Jackson could not stay awake!  He had stayed awake with Owen pretty much all night, and this is the result haha






And my Mom was taking pictures :) 

Our activity for the day was a groupon for an arcade which ended up being a lot of fun!



It was way cleaner than the nickel arcade thats for sure haha

And the prizes that the kids ended up with were really good!

Anna won the jackpot on one of the games and totally scored haha



So did Josh!

This was the game that they won on.  I love that it was great that the two youngest that got the most tickets :) 




Eating pizza!

When we got home Andrew's girlfriend and her Dad were there hiding in his room haha  She had made a scavenger hunt to ask him to Sadie Hawkins.  It was cute watching Andrew go through the scavenger hunt, but I loved watching my Mom and Rebecca record it more!




While the kids and I were gone, Erik enjoyed some night time snowboarding at Brighton.  I was happy he was doing something fun!

The next day, Josh taught Anna to play some games.  She loves games and we usually play a couple rounds of Skip Bo or Uno before she goes to school.

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...
