My kids are so lucky when it comes to their dad. Justin is patient, loving, giving, caring, and a great example to them. For Father's Day I had the kids help make a canvas painting with their handprints as the leaves of a tree. Isaac's is the smeared handprint in the middle. He did NOT want to open his hand to allow me to place it on the picture. And he kept laughing as I put paint on his hand.
I love how the kids are all smiling the same way in this picture.
This summer is going to fly by! I love warm weather and letting the kids play outside. Sunshine makes me happy!
Yes, that is Mckenzie snuggling with Jett.
I love the color of that sky!
Jett, 6 months old.
Here's are adorable 1 year old! Putting Channing's socks in the trash....
On June 4th Mckenzie's friend Evalie Henkel passed away. Her funeral service was so amazing and beautiful. Mckenzie of course was jealous of the tea set.
My friend at church snapped these pictures of the kids today at church. They are SO distracting to the people that sit behind us. But there's only so much we can do to control that. Mckenzie's silly face cracks me up! And Channing put stickers all over his face, another kids face, and another teenagers hands. Haha!
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...
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.
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!...
