Blogging with pictures take much less effort....

By
This is basically going to be a blog post in pictures.  We've lived here in Meridian Idaho for over a month now.  It's definitely summer time! I'm coming up on the home stretch of being pregnant with baby Hamilton.  About 5 weeks left (5 long, hot weeks).  In other exciting news, Julia had baby Emily! 
This is the face I captured of Channing after I told him it's nap time.  Classic.

The way to this kids heart is chocolate.  In this instance it was having him help me make chocolate pudding and then getting to sample it.  

Always digging rocks.

Thank goodness for close cousins that give Channing someone to play with.

We got out Channing's old car seat and he was obsessed with sitting in it.

Memorial Day weekend campfire at the Crawfords.

First time fishing!

Justin was very patient with Channing...fishing with a 2 year old is hard.


This is me 33 weeks along. 

Happy Sunday!

Emily was born 6/3/15 weighing 8lb 4oz.  I got to be there for the whole process of Julia's labor.  It was amazing!

Baby love.

I think Channing will make a great big brother! He already loves his new cousin so much!  He kept wanting to snuggle his cheek on her head.

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...

Almost 3 Years Old

By
Isaac will be turning 3 years old in a few weeks.  This child is entertaining, friendly, funny, stubborn, sneaky, demanding, curious, silly, feisty, and talkative. He reminds me of my grandpa, Papa K.  Before Papa K's stroke he would constantly find random people to talk to.  I remember on a trip to Europe with Papa K, Dede, my mom, and Carrie we met lots of new people.  And at every possible opportunity Papa K would try and talk to these people.  Isaac seems to have inherited this liking for talking to complete strangers. Today on a walk around the pond Isaac spotted kids/teenagers fishing.  Naturally he rode his strider bike right up to them, hopped off his bike, and got right into a conversation.  He rambled on and on about who knows what until we had to make him keep riding. He also likes to yell, "stop! Hey stop!" at random strangers to get them to talk to him.  Today he stopped a couple who was walking holding a new looking baby an...
