Enjoying Some Last Days of Warmth

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.

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.... ...

Our Thanksgiving

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...
