St. George Part One

So a couple weeks prior, Amy Hanks had mentioned that she knew someone that has a condo in St. George that would rent it to us.  It sounded like a perfect thing to do off track- especially since I already planned to drive down to Las Vegas to see family.
So Monday morning, we drove down to St. George!

The drive was fine and uneventful.  We stopped for lunch in Fillmore I believe.  
Once we were there we settled into our rooms in the condo, and then we decided to get some dinner at a Mexican place in St. George.

Well it wasn't the best experience only because after we got our food the power went out!  And since it was dark outside there was NO light at all.  Wyatt and Spencer were pretty nervous.  It looked like the whole street didn't have power.  We waited about 20 minutes, but obviously the kids were not going to eat in pitch black.  I was also a little bugged that the server didn't really check on us at all.  She came out like once, and I get that it wasn't her fault or even the fault of the restaurant, but it still was a pretty miserable experience trying to keep the kids happy in the pitch black.  Finally we just asked if we could get boxes and she came back to tell us that she had no boxes . . . .um OK.  Then we decided to just pay and leave, so we walked over to the register (by the light of our phone) and waited another 20 minutes for someone to come over, then someone came but told us we had to wait until they could get their credit card machine to work again, and the whole time I was thinking they should have just comped us for that food!  But we were suckers and waited and paid and the whole thing was dumb but funny looking back on it haha


I loved sleeping with Anna!
The next morning our plan was to go to Snow Canyon State Park.  When we got there we realized that this was the one day of the year (or like a few days in the year) closed for maintenance.  So we parked outside the park and just walked into (the roads were closed, but you could walk in).  The closest thing we could walk to was the sand, which was totally fine because that was the main thing the kids wanted to do anyway.




They had a lot of fun playing football and digging in the sand!



Anna and Luke were so cute together!
























That's a lot of sand in Jackson's shoe haha


After spending an hour or two there we went to grab some lunch at Panda Express and Costa Vida.


haha i love this pic
it was little colder than i would have liked for sure, but with sweatshirts, it was fine.  Definitely better than the snow we had in Herriman!

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...
