Meeting Isaac

By
Since Isaac was born in the evening we waited till the next day to have the kids meet him.  My mom brought Channing and Mckenzie in the morning to meet their new brother!  Their faces were a mixture of excitement, joy, and slight confusion.  Haha!  Channing wanted to hold Isaac right away and he still loves holding him.  






Our family of 5!  Don't you love how Mckenzie brought her own baby?
We did a 24 hour stay at the hospital and so we made it home around 8 or 9pm on Tuesday the 16th.  I love being able to order food whenever I want and being able to just focus on Isaac while at the hospital.  But there's nothing like sleeping in your own bed.  And boy was I tired! 
Welcome home Isaac!
Isaac, 3 days old. 




Mckenzie loves holding Isaac.  But you really gotta watch her!  When she's done holding him she'll just shove him off her lap.  

Three Hamilton boys!

And let the sleep deprivation begin!

Brothers... so cute.
I was really lucky and my mom stayed for about two weeks after Isaac was born.  I got to sleep in most mornings and take naps.  Heaven!  And sometimes she'd even bring me breakfast in bed!  Yes, I was completely spoiled.  And the kids loved having Justin home from work for a few days.  I could definitely tell that they missed Justin and Cici's attention when everyone left/went back to work.  Now they just have me!  We've been surviving since my mom left and Justin's back to work.  It helps that we don't go anywhere.  Getting up in the morning is the hardest.  But I'd say we're adjusting to having 3 kids pretty well!  These days consist of: feeding Isaac, changing diapers, making food, cleaning up spit up, doing laundry, doing more laundry, going on walks, and enjoying the warmer weather.

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...
