Latest and Greatest

Who's excited that it's getting warmer?! We are!

At the beginning of the month my mom and dad came to stay for a few days. It was fun to show them around our new town of Idaho Falls. And Channing enjoyed lots of spoiling and fun.
We made delicious fudge, played racquetball, walked around the greenbelt, I got the stomach flu and had to stay in my room all day, Channing got pushed around on his tractor by Papa more times than I can count, Channing learned about "lotion time" with Cici, Channing got held more than he ever does, he had french toast almost every morning, we all watched a lot of movies (mainly because it was very cold outside and I didn't feel good). Cici and Papa...can you come back??!!

Walk around Greenbelt

Went to Gandolfo's for lunch. Channing loved holding this cookie.

Learned the art of fudge making from my mom.

Good thing Channing and I are heading out to CA next week. Channing has missed his Cici and Papa.

What else is new you ask? Well...

Channing is obsessed with playing outside.

Channing still bites toes.

I bought Channing a hat for our sunny CA trip.

Channing made a friend.

I finished up a semester of school. Another one will begin in a few weeks. I'm very excited about our trip to CA. I fly into LAX a half hour before my cousin Bridget flies in from Dallas, Texas where she's been serving a mission for 18 months. We haven't seen each other for a few years and she hasn't met Channing yet.
T.T.F.N! (ta ta for now...learned that from watching Winnie the Pooh with Channing.) :D

It's a Good Life

Happy Father's Day to Justin! I honestly think he is the best husband and dad that I could ever ask for. Did you know that when Channing wakes up randomly at night all I have to do it shake Justin awake and he'll go take care of it? Yes, I am lucky. Dinner was steak, asparagus, and bacon wrapped corn. Mmmmm. I love the new things Channing learns everyday. The other day he saw me use an oven mitt and had to give it a try. Yesterday I walked around the mall, shopped at Target, and got a strawberry limeade from Sonic. It was fun. But then Channing didn't want to take a second nap and was cranky all day. Oh well. At least half the day was awesome! Yup, Channing still loves pouring water everywhere. And sitting in it....

Merry Christmas

It was a white Christmas here in Meridian, Idaho. On Christmas Eve we went to church for an hour and then came home and let Channing and Mckenzie each open one present. We made peanut butter blossoms for Santa's cookies. And we wrote letter's to Santa. We also watched mormon messages about the birth of Christ. For a few weeks the kids were earning pieces of straw to put in Jesus's manger. Each good act or deed equaled a piece of straw placed in the manger. Then on Christmas Eve we placed Jesus in the manger and talked about how all our acts of kindness created a nice, soft bed for baby Jesus to lay in. It was a great visual for them. (I got this idea from my Relief Society last year.) Making cookies. Mckenzie opened a book from the Crawford's. Channing got a fort building kit from the Crawford's. Letter's the Santa. These cute kids. Who knew Mckenzie wanted a puppy.... ...

Can't Wait To Be Done!

I'm really getting tired of school. I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school. Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks. It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework. I guess it's my way of procrastinating. Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing. Above is zucchini. Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche. Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind. There's always some assignment I should be working on. (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.) School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN. I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!
