The good life

By
 I like making blog posts about the big events that happen but I also really like writing about the daily, not so exciting, times.  I feel very lucky to have three healthy kids and a hard working husband.  The days when the kids and I stay at home and just hang out are some of the best days.  I love hearing Mckenzie and Channing talking.  Their conversations are so funny.  And they usually end up in a "yes" "no" argument...about nothing. Haha!

Since becoming a parent I've learned a lot.  One thing in particular is that kids don't need much.  They're more than happy with simple toys, easy games, or just dancing to "Uptown Funk" for the 100th time.  These days often seem long and difficult but I want to remember the simple times when I had all my kids at home.
This is the aftermath of one Oreo....  She rather turn it into goo instead of eating it.  

Justin will often take Channing and Mckenzie to the store when we need some groceries.  And these kids have way more fun with Justin at the store.  They even go down the toy aisle!  What the heck!  Exhibit A:




Yup, I definitely think they'd rather go to the store with Justin.
Isaac is 2 months old!  Just the other day he slept for 8 hours at night.  Wahoo!!  Trust me, I don't expect that to happen every night.  But I'll take what I can get!  He's cooing and smiling all the time now.  Love this chunk monster!
Any guesses on what he's gonna weigh at his 2 month appointment?  I'm thinking 14+ pounds.  

Bedtime.
Real life mom problems.  After multiple blow outs in one day I decided to give in and move Isaac to size 2 diapers.

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...

60 Things I Love About My Mom

By
In honor of my mom turning 60 years old on February 5th I have written 60 things that I love about her. 1. My mom lives the gospel. 2. She taught me how to follow the prophet. 3. My mom loves to travel. 4. With each baby I had she took the time to be there.  And then stayed for at least a week following the birth to help me at home.  She even brought be breakfast in bed. 5. My mom always fulfills her calling.  I remember when she was Relief Society President she was gone on my 15th birthday at an Enrichment meeting.  I was a bit peeved about it.  But now when I think about it I am inspired by her ability to 100% fulfill her calling and show up for her fellow RS sisters. 6. She taught me how to cook.  We always had a vegetable on the plate. 7. She thoroughly adores her grandkids. 8. My mom can do hard things. 9. My mom is a RN which is no easy job.  I know her job is often stressful.  She's an amazing labor and delivery nurs...
