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!

My reality check

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...

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.

Ooooh crap

   Merry Christmas! It's December 12th and beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!  The tree is decorated and we are slowly adding presents underneath it.  What's new with the Hamilton crew? Well let me tell ya.  Justin is starting a new job as St Alphonsus's webmaster next Monday.  Which means I can kiss my daytime freedom goodbye.  Since February Justin has been working at home with a start up company called RealResultsOnline.  So if I had both kids down for a nap I could easily leave the house to go grocery shopping or whatever.  Now I'm heading back to the reality of being a stay at home mom.  Anyways...I'm sure I'll survive.  Because what choice do I have?!  We'll miss you Justin....  Especially Channing.  That kid loves peeking in on Justin during the day and getting in lots of daddy play time.  But we think this new job will give us better opportunities for the future.  So yes, I gotta suck it up!...
