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.

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....

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!

Isaac Robert Hamilton

I've been meaning to write a blog post since Isaac was born.  But every time I think about writing a post I get over whelmed with everything I want to write and all the cute pictures I want to share.  So this blog post will just be about the day Isaac was born.  (Or as much as I can remember! The details are already fading!!) On May 14th, Mother's Day, my mom flew into Boise.  Gotta have my momma as my labor coach!  Let me just say, I was so happy that this was my last Sunday at church.  Don't get me wrong, I love church, but at 39 weeks pregnant I was feeling super uncomfortable sitting or standing for the 3 hours.  I was scheduled to be induced the next day, the 15th.  After a rough night of not being able to sleep well, mainly because I couldn't shut my brain off, I called the hospital at 6am to make sure they had room for me, and they said to "come on in!"  Yay!  This was actually going to happen! Justin and I arrived at St Al...
