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.

    Have you ever tried running (more like slow jogging) with a double stroller?  My suggestion is to avoid it...unless you're into pain and frustration. I'm a morning workout person.  And I'm not talking about waking up before my kids at 6am and getting in a workout--I'm not crazy.  I'm into doing my workout when it's convenient and I don't have to sacrifice too much.  For example I don't like to exercise when I:  Have to wake up earlier than normal.  Stay up later than normal. Be too cold/hot for a long period of time. Or listen to a kid cry/whine the whole time.     Right now I've chosen to walk/jog in the morning after breakfast and before Mckenzie's nap.  That way the morning goes by quickly and I get a workout in.  Justin and I signed up for a race here in Meridian and that's my workout motivation...hence the jogging with a stroller.  I'm pretty sure the double stroller ways at least 75lbs with the kids in it....

$$ for Jeeps

By Justin
Well I've done it again - bought another Jeep. But this time it was Melissa pushing me to do it! (what a good wife!) It's a 99 Grand Cherokee Limited (we previously had a Laredo by the same year.) The people were originally asking $4200 but we Hamiltoned them down to $2800 thanks to Melissa. I was talking & negotiating with the husband. And then the wife comes out appalled that the husband was coming down so much in price. And she snapped and said she was firm on $3000. So Melissa stepped up and said "I wouldn't give more than $2800."  The tension was high as the 2 women shot dagger-eyes at each other. Neither one backing down. Finally the husband agreed. And we drove it home. Then 2 days later I decided to list our Cherokee for sale around midnight, by noon the next day (today) I had it sold. It's been a busy day. So in 2012 alone, I've now owned 4 different vehicles. Melissa is the hospital today. She is just starting her preceptorship in labo...

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.
