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!
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....
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.... ...
I'm really getting tired of school. I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school. Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks. It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework. I guess it's my way of procrastinating. Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing. Above is zucchini. Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche. Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind. There's always some assignment I should be working on. (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.) School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN. I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!
