Last Day in Vegas and Coming Home!

After getting ready for the day on Saturday, we headed to a cool nature preserve/museum.  It was funny, because the day we met up with the Urrutias, Jadie and Erin had gone there for a field trip.

I followed Anna around one of the Nevada state museums while the boys ran off with my Mom and Rebecca.





Then we met up with everyone in a different museum.  The kids were having a great time!


The kids were scared of this statue haha It was pretty sad reading up this guy's life though! That must have been so lonely for him :(


There was a height predictor that all of the kids wanted to try.

Oh my favorite room was this cool dancing room that would put a trippy silhouette of you on a screen while music played :) 






Wyatt liked this train a lot.  We really were learning lots about the development of Nevada.  It was interesting to hear how big a part Mormons played in it, but also fortune seekers and less desirable types haha

Flash flood room

When we walked around the nature preserve, I loved the gardening section.  Erik filled in my garden beds with soil a couple of weeks ago, but the weather keeps being uncooperative when I have the chance to plant my spring veggies!




It stared to rain, so we took shelter in a museum that was mostly about the history of the glitzy side of Las Vegas.


I was fascinated by the early showgirl costumes!



pictures are a bit of order.



And Erik went snowboarding again!  


That night we went to our Santino performance!  Sadly we got a little mixed up on the start time and arrived 20 minutes after it began.  He did a great job, and we LOVED that his wife performed with him for a few songs! 
Oh, I'm just reminded that on Friday my Mom, Rebecca, and I went shopping!  It was a lot of fun and I got the top I wore to Santinio at Ross at that time :) 

Fun, fun, fun!

With the weather report saying there was a chance of snow on our drive back home we got up early the next morning and left at around 6:30.  I had to laugh when I realized how we all looked at our lunch stop in Cedar City haha

Luckily, it didn't snow too bad and we were home by 4:00 I think?
We had such a good week!  A small couple days in Vegas turned into a trip to St. George with friends plus a trip to Vegas and my Mom was there to boot!  We will definitely do some version of this type of trip next winter!

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...
