August...and the end of Summer

By
Oh August...I love Summer.  The only thing I don't like about August is that it leads to September, which leads to it getting colder and colder.  Oh well, life goes on.  This summer was really fun because I wasn't pregnant or didn't just barely have a baby.  We've gone on lots of family bike rides, playing outside, walks to the park, a family reunion in Park City, and playing in sprinklers.  Channing finally earned enough money to qualify him to get a power wheels four-wheeler.  He loves that thing.  I'm pretty sure he's driven it everyday since we got it for him.  I'm super proud of him too because he actually worked hard to earn that four-wheeler.  He would ask to do a chore, which in reality means more work for me, and then he'd either sweep, mop, clean windows, vacuum the car, or whatever I needed done that day.  We'd go to Walmart to grocery shop and he'd see a cool toy and ask if he could have it.  And I would tell him that he could buy the toy but the money would come out of the four-wheeler jar.  Then he would slowly put the toy back on the shelf....  That's some self control for a 3 year old!
Counting Channing's four-wheeler money.

In heaven!

After the first few rides Channing found this baby squirrel in our front yard.

We kept it warm until someone from the Boise Animal Rescue came to pick it up.  Apparently people actually bottle feed these babies until they are old enough to be on their own.  It was so cute!!



Mckenzie's new trick is that she is tall enough to reach our very low light switches and likes to turn everything on and off.

Cousins.

Leaf bug spotted!

Leaf bug caught!

Leaf bug dead...

:(
Other than the leaf bug incident I think this Summer was great!

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...
