October is almost over

   Time is flying by....  I usually end the day by thinking, oh my goodness I have so much to do this week!  Between school, work, certifications for work, exercising, and family life I feel busy!  Julia and Cameron and family came to visit earlier this month.  That was really fun.  We mainly just hung out and took walks.  Channing loved having friends to play with.  It'll be great to live close to family one day.
    Do you know what else will be great??  Being done with school this December!!  It's so stinkin hard to have a busy day and then realize I need to do home work.  Blah, i hate it.  At least this is my last semester.  Yes!
   One random moment of this month was when some driver drove up our curb, onto our grass, hit the side of our Xterra, and then drove away before we ran outside to see what just happened.  Luckily the Xterra isn't badly damaged.  The hit shifted the front bumper and broke the right headlight.
  Current news with Channing.  He has a cold and has lost his voice.  Poor kid can barely talk.  It's weird for him to be so quiet.  We miss his laugh.  Hopefully he'll be feeling better tomorrow.  He's learned to do this eye rolling thing.  It's kind of hilarious.  And he knows we think it's funny so of course he does it for the attention.  His favorite activity is taking walks.  Usually by 11am he asks to go on a walk.  And I say, "okay get your shoes and coat." And he says "okay."  And then we take a 30 minute walk in which we go about half a block.
   Not sure what else is new in our life.  Justin and I are watching The Voice so I guess I'm slightly distracted.  Alright...here's what everyone wants anyways...pictures!
Fun with cousins.

Sometimes we walk to Channing's friends house when they aren't home and leave them notes like this one "Channing was here."

This kid!

I think suckers make him happy...

Sometimes after our walk we just sit in the car and hang out.  Channing loves it. And he needs his seat buckled like a big kid.

Best teething tool...Luigi's Italian Ice Cream.

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.... ...

Our Thanksgiving

Days are flying by too fast and I cannot seem to keep this blog up to date.  We are already in the month of December!  November went by so fast.  I absolutely loved Thanksgiving with Jeff, Cortney, and Patrick staying at our house and my mom and dad visiting.  We ate some great food.  Cameron made a fantastic turkey in his smoker and all the sides were de-lish!  Some of my favorite moments were taking family pictures then going to chick fil-a for dinner.  Watching the new Spider Man movie with Jeff and Cortney.  Oh, and Jeff bought us all ben and jerry's, yup he's a good brother.  Shopping with my mom, sister, and sis-in-law.  Watching all the cousins play together.  My dad meeting Isaac for the first time.  Going out to breakfast with my mom and dad.  Channing's reaction to seeing Anna and Elsa characters at the Scentsy Commons Christmas lights--he's super bashful and his teenage years are going to be hilarious.  One...
