1st Birthday and a Family Visit

By
We celebrated Mckenzie's 1st birthday with balloons, cake, presents, and family.  We love this girl so much.  She is silly and determined.  She lets you know what she wants and has the best evil laugh (thanks to Justin who taught her).  She's super smart too.  She tries to repeat sounds all the time.  Mckenzie can say "doggy," "mama," and "dada."  And we swear that she's said "bye bye" before.  We are incredibly blessed to have this cute, smart, sweet girl as our daughter.  



Cortney and Patrick came to visit!  I think Channing and Patrick are bosom friends, kindred spirits if you will.  They are two blond cuties.  We went to the aquarium.  We fed ducks and played at the park.  Justin took them fishing.  We had a campfire and roasted s'mores.  It was great.  The day after Patrick left Channing said, "I miss Patrick.  He's a good guy."  And then proceeded to tell me everything they did together.



 Mckenzie and pantries....  If the pantry door is even a little bit open Mckenzie will notice and head right in.  Today while visiting teaching Mckenzie made her way into the ladies pantry...not sure how that happened.  Luckily she doesn't destroy too much.  Just finds the ketchup packets and throws them in the ice cream maker.

 Last night Justin bought his first ATV.  It's a 850cc polaris.  I think....  If you care about knowing more you better ask Justin.  I just know that it's huge and Channing loves it.



Speaking of ATV's...Channing has wanted one of his own for a few months.  He once got to drive a neighbor's child ATV and he was hooked!  He asks on a daily basis, sometimes an hourly basis, if he can buy one.  So a few days ago we told him that if he wants his own ATV he needs to earn enough money to buy one.  He's made almost a whole dollar by doing extra chores! 


Funny moment:  A few weeks ago Channing was in our neighbors backyard who has chickens.  The neighbor girl was showing him how to feed the chickens raspberries.  I heard Channing say, "Here chickens!  Oink Oink!" Lol.  I apparently need to review animal noises with him.  

Cute picture of Mckenzie...in case your life is lacking cuteness.

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...

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.

Ooooh crap

   Merry Christmas! It's December 12th and beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!  The tree is decorated and we are slowly adding presents underneath it.  What's new with the Hamilton crew? Well let me tell ya.  Justin is starting a new job as St Alphonsus's webmaster next Monday.  Which means I can kiss my daytime freedom goodbye.  Since February Justin has been working at home with a start up company called RealResultsOnline.  So if I had both kids down for a nap I could easily leave the house to go grocery shopping or whatever.  Now I'm heading back to the reality of being a stay at home mom.  Anyways...I'm sure I'll survive.  Because what choice do I have?!  We'll miss you Justin....  Especially Channing.  That kid loves peeking in on Justin during the day and getting in lots of daddy play time.  But we think this new job will give us better opportunities for the future.  So yes, I gotta suck it up!...
