Happy Easter!

By
 Two days ago it was 71 degrees and we walked to the duck pond.  Ever since my mom visited last month Mckenzie has learned to grab a ziplock bag, hold it up, and say "bread please" whenever she wants to feed the ducks. She wants a piece of bread, in the bag, for the ducks.  (Yes mother, you taught her that.)  We've had to switch bread for bran muffins because Kenzie ends up eating half of the bread herself.  Today it snowed.  What a change in weather!  That's Idaho Spring for ya!

A few days ago we decorated eggs with the kids.  It was a success with no big messes.  Score!  The kids loved it.  Mckenzie apparently really enjoyed dying the eggs because she saw me peeling eggs at dinner time today and asked to hold one.  I gave in and let her hold a hard boiled egg.  She was bursting with joy and kept holding it up saying "egg, egg!"  I was in the middle of making an enormous amount of potato salad and wanted to keep her happy and entertained so I could finish.  What harm could a toddler do with a hard boiled egg?  I finished peeling the rest of the eggs and found Kenzie "peeling" her own egg on the carpet.  Her version of peeling was more digging a hole in the egg and picking out the insides.  And when I asked her why she did that she pretended like the egg had cracked itself open.  "Uh oh! What happened!"  She's gonna be a sneaky one!



Channing loved dipping one egg into multiple colors!

Before Kenzie goes to bed she'll walk into Channing's room to give him a hug and a kiss.  Then she usually wants to climb on his bed and grab a stuffed animal and pretend to sleep.  She cracks me up with this Daniel Boone hat on.  

I feel pretty lucky that Channing is such a sweet brother to Mckenzie.  He's really tried to be extra nice to her when he knows she's in pain.  Handing her toys while I wipe her sore bum or giving her extra kisses.  He's a great older sibling!

The main reason why I wanted to include this picture is because I think it's funny how Mckenzie is laying on the table.  This is pretty typical during the morning for us.  Eat breakfast, watch a show, then get ready for the day.

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.... ...

Our Thanksgiving

By
Days are flying by too fast and I cannot seem to keep this blog up to date.  We are already in the month of December!  November went by so fast.  I absolutely loved Thanksgiving with Jeff, Cortney, and Patrick staying at our house and my mom and dad visiting.  We ate some great food.  Cameron made a fantastic turkey in his smoker and all the sides were de-lish!  Some of my favorite moments were taking family pictures then going to chick fil-a for dinner.  Watching the new Spider Man movie with Jeff and Cortney.  Oh, and Jeff bought us all ben and jerry's, yup he's a good brother.  Shopping with my mom, sister, and sis-in-law.  Watching all the cousins play together.  My dad meeting Isaac for the first time.  Going out to breakfast with my mom and dad.  Channing's reaction to seeing Anna and Elsa characters at the Scentsy Commons Christmas lights--he's super bashful and his teenage years are going to be hilarious.  One...
