The good life

 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.

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

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.... ...

Can't Wait To Be Done!

I'm really getting tired of school.  I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school.  Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks.  It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework.  I guess it's my way of procrastinating.  Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing.  Above is zucchini.  Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche.  Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind.  There's always some assignment I should be working on.  (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.)  School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN.  I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!
