Ryan's Sleepover

By
For Ryan's 8th birthday we got him a coupon for a sleepover at the Hamilton Home.  I picked him up on Friday and headed to our house.  We enjoyed spending some extra time with this smart, kind, energetic, easily distracted nephew.  Here are some pictures I took. 

The kids helped Justin make a great fire!  Hotdogs and fruit for dinner.  S'mores for dessert.

I kept Isaac entertained with some leftover spaghetti and meatballs for his dinner.  

We love being outside!

Channing sure loves his hotdogs!

Happy cousins!

Aftermath of the speghetti and meatballs.  Do you see the hand print on his forehead?

This is livin'!

Ryan was very interested in catching his stick on fire.

After dinner and dessert we went to see the baby ducks and played at the exercise park.  Ryan said, "This is the best sleepover ever!"

Isaac was having a rough day with a cold and refusing to nurse.  But he was so happy to be on a walk with us.

Events not pictured is Ryan telling Jett to "sit," "shake," and "lay down" over and over.  On Saturday Justin took Channing and Ryan to clean the church and then to get donuts.  Justin also took the kids on a walk using their compasses to find the park.  Then finally to get Chick-fil-a for lunch.  Happy 8th Birthday Ryan!

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...
