2 Birthdays and a Baby Girl

By
The month of March has been pretty busy for us, in a fun way.  Channing celebrated his 2nd birthday! We invited over some friends and ate bbq pulled pork sandwiches and other yummy things.  Channing was a little confused about why there were so many people in our house.  Including us there were 10 adults and 6 kids.  Channing loved having everyone sing him Happy Birthday...and it is now his new favorite song.

Dinosaur cake!

He could not wait for his friends to arrive!

Probably Channing's favorite part of the night...eating cake and ice cream.

At Channing's 2 year appointment he weighs 33lbs and is just a little over 3 feet tall.
 This month Justin has started working from home a lot with a start up company called Real Results Online.  Whenever Justin leaves his office Channing will run in and take over Justin's chair.  He's just like his daddy...loves being surrounded by monitors.

I had to include this picture because I think Channing's cheeks and ears are adorable.

Visiting mom at work!!

On March 9th, my 24th b-day, we got to find out that we're having a baby girl!  Now time to pick out a name, which we aren't very good at.  I'm so happy to welcome a little girl into our family!!

Justin and Channing came with me to my ultrasound appointment.  Then while I was waiting for the check up part of my appointment they went across the street to see the diggers.  Channing didn't care too much about the ultrasound but he was sure happy to sit in a digger bucket! 


 I had a great birthday.  Hawaiian beef dinner and ice cream cake dessert!  And the best part was seeing a healthy baby on the ultrasound!

Enjoying a warm day.

Justin taught Channing how to climb a rock.

Family campfire night! 

And this is Channing as I try and write this blog post.

    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

$$ for Jeeps

By Justin
Well I've done it again - bought another Jeep. But this time it was Melissa pushing me to do it! (what a good wife!) It's a 99 Grand Cherokee Limited (we previously had a Laredo by the same year.) The people were originally asking $4200 but we Hamiltoned them down to $2800 thanks to Melissa. I was talking & negotiating with the husband. And then the wife comes out appalled that the husband was coming down so much in price. And she snapped and said she was firm on $3000. So Melissa stepped up and said "I wouldn't give more than $2800."  The tension was high as the 2 women shot dagger-eyes at each other. Neither one backing down. Finally the husband agreed. And we drove it home. Then 2 days later I decided to list our Cherokee for sale around midnight, by noon the next day (today) I had it sold. It's been a busy day. So in 2012 alone, I've now owned 4 different vehicles. Melissa is the hospital today. She is just starting her preceptorship in labo
