A gender reveal party and high waisted pants

By
Happy almost February!  That means it's going to get warm right?  I wish!  Yesterday we celebrated Justin's 29th birthday.  I decorated with streamers and balloons.  We ate steak, potatoes, broccoli, and garlic bread for dinner.  And for dessert I made a Reese's Peanut Butter Cheesecake, specifically picked out by Justin.  We were so stuffed by the end of the night.  Channing's favorite part was playing with balloons and helping Justin blow out candles.  We think he's all ready to go for his 2nd birthday in a month.
Speaking of parties we went to Julia and Cameron's gender reveal party a few weeks ago.  Here's some pictures.  It was a fun night!  Even though I voted that it would be a girl I was still totally shocked when they pulled out a piece of pink cake.

Ryan's face is the best here..."wait what? but I wanted it to be a boy!"  (He was less than thrilled.)
In other news Channing and I are surviving winter by playing inside, going to the library for storytime, and playing with his best friend Quinn (who has a slide and tent, so he's always thrilled to visit their house.)  Here's what Channing's been up to.
Working on his balancing skills. 
Eating lots of yogurt.

Stacking my fake candles.

And running around like a grandpa because Justin pulled his pants up too high, on purpose of course.

    Have you ever tried running (more like slow jogging) with a double stroller?  My suggestion is to avoid it...unless you're into pain and frustration. I'm a morning workout person.  And I'm not talking about waking up before my kids at 6am and getting in a workout--I'm not crazy.  I'm into doing my workout when it's convenient and I don't have to sacrifice too much.  For example I don't like to exercise when I:  Have to wake up earlier than normal.  Stay up later than normal. Be too cold/hot for a long period of time. Or listen to a kid cry/whine the whole time.     Right now I've chosen to walk/jog in the morning after breakfast and before Mckenzie's nap.  That way the morning goes by quickly and I get a workout in.  Justin and I signed up for a race here in Meridian and that's my workout motivation...hence the jogging with a stroller.  I'm pretty sure the double stroller ways at least 75lbs with the kids in it.  20lbs for Kenz

Pain in the Neck Child

By
I have one child that's a pain in the neck because she has a pain in her neck!  Did you follow that?  Actually Mckenzie is adorable and an excellent baby, but the poor kid has torticollis.  Here's what google says about torticollis,  a condition in which the head becomes persistently turned to one side, often associated with painful muscle spasms.   Mckenzie only wants to look forward and to the right.  This has caused the right side of her head to become flat. Last Thursday I took her to the physical therapist that specializes in this problem and received lots of good stretches that I need to do with Mckenzie 2-3 times a day.  She also wants Mckenzie to have tummy time about 5 times a day for 5 minutes each time.  The only time I can do these stretches successfully with Mckenzie is when she is falling asleep for a nap.  And it takes about 10-15 minutes to complete the stretches each time.  We're hopeful that within the next 6 weeks we'll see some improvement.  The PT

A blessing, 4th of July, and a 2nd birthday!

By
I'm not good at posting on our blog frequently, so when I do post something it usually consists of many events crammed into one post.  And this entry will be no exception! Ya'll ready for this? Cue Space Jam Theme song. I love Summer time.  You can go outside without bundling up and we spend a lot more time outside when it's warm.  Walks, fishing, picnics! Love it all! Fishing at the pond with daddy.  One of Mckenzie's and Channing's favorite things to do.  One day maybe they'll actually catch something! ;) On July 2nd we had Isaac's baby blessing.  Then afterwards the Hamilton's and the Crawford's came over for a taco dinner.  We love having family close by.  Makes these kind of events great. On July 4th we headed out to Lucky Peak with the Crawford's for some boat time!  Mckenzie was actually super comfortable going on the tube and even sitting on the easy wake trainer.  Channing wasn't too impressed with either.
