BTB: Before the Baby
I wanted to take a minute to document life before baby Hamilton arrives.  I'm currently 38 weeks and 4 days pregnant.  The plan is to be induced on Monday when I'm exactly 39 weeks pregnant.  So this is my last weekend being pregnant! Say hallelujah!  I'm feeling pretty good.  Just the normal uncomfortableness-back pain, hard time getting comfortable at night, feeling like I need to pee constantly, and sore feet at the end of the day.  But the end is in sight!  And I can't wait to meet this little guy.  Monday can't come fast enough!

Here are a ton of pictures from the last few weeks.  We're trying to enjoy being a family of four as much as possible before the baby arrives.  Then let the craziness commence!

Feeding a goat at the Boise Zoo.  

Mckenzie had a check up with her surgeon a few weeks ago.  We've been able to stop dilations and take her off a laxative.  We're still experimenting with her diet and trying to keep her regular (but not too regular).  It's a balancing act!  She doesn't have another appointment for 6 months! Yay!  She's been such a trooper through all the pain of her recovery.  

Kyle Crawford was born April 24th at 4:31 am.  I got be there for his birth and help take pictures.  Channing loves holding his new cousin!

These cousins are so adorable!  They're both gonna be 2 this Summer!

My friends and fellow primary leaders threw me an awesome babyshower! 

I got lots of diapers, wipes, cute outfits, and lots of other useful things.  

This is the Baby Hamilton sign repurposed the next day.  Channing called himself Captain Letters!

You know summer is coming when corn goes on sale.  

Mckenzie is so stinkn cute.  Justin got out the baby swing and Mckenzie knew exactly what she needed to do.  It'll be fun to see how she is around her new baby brother.  

While I was getting a hair cut Justin took the kids to run a few errands.  They stopped at the Meridian Speedway to see some of the monster trucks they had out.

38 weeks pregnant.

I love when they play well together.  

Justin sent me this picture while I was at a R.S activity.  Mckenzie was so happy to have on her "new" Minnie Mouse pjs.  

Channing caught some roly poly bugs and put them in his bug container.  Mckenzie was mesmerized by watching them crawl around.  Don't worry, she's eating raisins, not bugs.  ;)

Our usual stop at the exercise park by the pond when we go on a walk.

So many cute baby ducks!!
Channing and Justin got to go with Cameron, Ryan, and Makayla on their boat for the first time this year.  


That's all for now!

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.

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...

Almost 3 Years Old

By
Isaac will be turning 3 years old in a few weeks.  This child is entertaining, friendly, funny, stubborn, sneaky, demanding, curious, silly, feisty, and talkative. He reminds me of my grandpa, Papa K.  Before Papa K's stroke he would constantly find random people to talk to.  I remember on a trip to Europe with Papa K, Dede, my mom, and Carrie we met lots of new people.  And at every possible opportunity Papa K would try and talk to these people.  Isaac seems to have inherited this liking for talking to complete strangers. Today on a walk around the pond Isaac spotted kids/teenagers fishing.  Naturally he rode his strider bike right up to them, hopped off his bike, and got right into a conversation.  He rambled on and on about who knows what until we had to make him keep riding. He also likes to yell, "stop! Hey stop!" at random strangers to get them to talk to him.  Today he stopped a couple who was walking holding a new looking baby an...
