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!
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....
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...
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.
