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.

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

By
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

By
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...
