Enjoying Some Last Days of Warmth

By
Isaac had his 4 month appointment on Sept 21st.  He was a whopping 20lbs 10oz and 27 3/4 inches long.  Some how he's bigger than Channing was.  I didn't think it was possible to have a 4 month old bigger than Channing but Isaac is an over achiever.

Justin and I have been attempting to go out on more dates during the month.  We've been trying for two nights out a month.  Which may not seem like much to most couples but this is way more than what we normally do.  The best is when Grandma Joan and Grandpa Mark come to babysit the kids.  The kids are in heaven!  For our last date Justin and I went shopping at Costco (but forgot a cooler so we didn't get too much) and then had dinner at The Habit.  Yummy burgers and shakes!  Mmm...I'm hungry just thinking about it.  As usual Isaac was along for the ride.  One day we'll be able to go on a date totally kid free. But it's also nice to have some one on one time with Isaac.  As a third kid he definitely doesn't get much attention.

The kids plus Emma with grandma and grandpa playing superheroes!

One day when we're done having kids I'm gonna really miss the sweet moments with my babies when they're fed, asleep, and perfectly content.

I splurged and took both kids to get a hair cut.  I usually cut their hair myself to save money.  But Channing had preschool pictures coming up and we were gonna take family pictures soon.  Both kids did amazing and loved the balloon and sucker they got afterward.  Channing's hair is easy to cut but I'm no good at cutting Kenzie's hair.  So I'm glad they took care of her growing mullet.



Enjoying some last days of warmth before Fall really hits us.  Please don't leave us warm weather!! I'm no good without you....

The cutest cousins.

He loves his bugs!
If you are squeamish don't look at the next picture!  This was a massive blowout that was worthy of a quick picture and a bath in the sink.  Isaac has acquired a natural skill of pooping out the back of his diaper and all the way up to his shoulders.


You know what makes me AND my kids happy?  Baking cookies.  Yup.  They love it, I love it.  Win win.  Channing can crack an egg all by himself.  And Mckenzie is getting better at not spraying flour everywhere when she mixes.  If anything, my kids will be able to make a rock'n batch of cookies for their own friends and families one day.

    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....

Pain in the Neck Child

By
I have one child that's a pain in the neck because she has a pain in her neck!  Did you follow that?  Actually Mckenzie is adorable and an excellent baby, but the poor kid has torticollis.  Here's what google says about torticollis,  a condition in which the head becomes persistently turned to one side, often associated with painful muscle spasms.   Mckenzie only wants to look forward and to the right.  This has caused the right side of her head to become flat. Last Thursday I took her to the physical therapist that specializes in this problem and received lots of good stretches that I need to do with Mckenzie 2-3 times a day.  She also wants Mckenzie to have tummy time about 5 times a day for 5 minutes each time.  The only time I can do these stretches successfully with Mckenzie is when she is falling asleep for a nap.  And it takes about 10-15 minutes to complete the stretches each time.  We're hopeful that w...

$$ 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...
