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.

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.... ...

Can't Wait To Be Done!

By
I'm really getting tired of school.  I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school.  Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks.  It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework.  I guess it's my way of procrastinating.  Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing.  Above is zucchini.  Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche.  Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind.  There's always some assignment I should be working on.  (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.)  School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN.  I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!
