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.

Happy Halloween!

By
I wanted to do a quick Halloween post so I won't ever forget how adorable Channing was.  He was a scarecrow this Halloween.  We used a pair of his overalls and I sewed on a few patches of material and then we stuffed his pockets with straw.  The paint on the nose thing didn't work so well...he rubbed it off the first time around.  Our ward did a trunk-or-treat in the parking lot.  Channing was a little skeptical about it all when we first started.  But he quickly got the hang of walking up to people, grabbing candy, and putting it in his bucket.  Someone gave him a sucker and he immediately had to have it!  At least he's easy to please!  Such a friendly scarecrow...had to say bye to the trick-or-treaters as they left.

My reality check

By
Remember how in my last few posts I talked about how we were teaching Channing to put himself back to sleep by letting him cry it out?  Since Channing has been sick for over a week that has all gone down the drain....  The poor kid is so congested all the time.  When we wakes up at night he usually will not take his binky and fall back asleep.  Instead he needs his nose suctioned, which usually requires Justin holding Channing's head still or it's impossible.  And lately he will not go back to sleep at all until he's fed again.  Last night it was every 3 hours.  I don't know if it's because his throat hurts or he just wants to be held.  Whatever the reason, nights have been a little rough around here.  Oh, and his naps during the day have been pretty bad.  Crying a lot before falling asleep and then only sleeping for 20 or 30 minutes.  Motherhood is definitely a 24/7 job.  With no lunch breaks.  And get this!  Channin...

60 Things I Love About My Mom

By
In honor of my mom turning 60 years old on February 5th I have written 60 things that I love about her. 1. My mom lives the gospel. 2. She taught me how to follow the prophet. 3. My mom loves to travel. 4. With each baby I had she took the time to be there.  And then stayed for at least a week following the birth to help me at home.  She even brought be breakfast in bed. 5. My mom always fulfills her calling.  I remember when she was Relief Society President she was gone on my 15th birthday at an Enrichment meeting.  I was a bit peeved about it.  But now when I think about it I am inspired by her ability to 100% fulfill her calling and show up for her fellow RS sisters. 6. She taught me how to cook.  We always had a vegetable on the plate. 7. She thoroughly adores her grandkids. 8. My mom can do hard things. 9. My mom is a RN which is no easy job.  I know her job is often stressful.  She's an amazing labor and delivery nurs...
