Blessing Weekend

By
This past Sunday Mckenzie had her baby blessing.  It was a great weekend because the Hamilton's and my mom came to visit.  On Saturday we went to an activity called Touch a Truck.  Is was next to the BSU stadium and the parking lot was filled with all sorts of trucks.  The kids got to sit in the trucks, honk horns, and got lots of free things like stickers and fireman hats.  The kids loved it!  Then we all went to Chick fil-a for lunch! Yum!






Sunday was the blessing day.  Mckenzie looked adorable in her white dress.  I even made her a headband to match and perfectly fit her (large) head. ;)  Things I remember from Justin's blessing was that Mckenzie would serve a full-time mission, get married in the temple, have a family, and always have a sweet spirit.  After church that day we had everyone over for a yummy brat dinner with pasta salad, spinach salad, and brownie sundays for dessert.  

Blessing dress



On the Hamilton's last day in town we all went bowling at Meridian Lanes.  Channing loved it! They even had cute little bowling shoes for him to wear.  He came in second place! Possibly due to the bumpers.... :)


After bowling we walked around the mall.  I may or may not have indulged in a huge cinnamon roll.  


Mckenzie is now 2 months old.  As of today she weighs 13 lbs 3 oz.  She sleeps good and overall is a mellow, sweet baby.  Some things we're working on with her is getting her to look more to the left.  She has a tightening on the right side of her neck which makes her only want to look to the right.  This has made the back of her head flatter on the right side.  Next week we are taking her to physical therapy to work on her torticollis.  In other news, she developed a "click" while nursing.  When she was a few weeks old I noticed she was make a clicking noise while breastfeeding.  This was indicating that she was loosing suction.  After getting some advice from my mom that she might be tongue tied I took Mckenzie to a lactation consultant yesterday who confirmed she is tongue tied.  This morning Mckenzie had an appointment with the pediatrician who gave me some advice on how to stop the clicking (by giving chin support) and he also performed a frenectomy.  Since then I think her breastfeeding has improved.  She still clicks every so often but I think it's much better than before.
So peaceful

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!
