Summer Mode

By
We are in full summer mode.  Channing is done with summer preschool and now our days are free and open.  I cannot believe that June is already coming to an end.  Having three kids keeps me more busy than I could have ever imagined.  But I love it!  Being home with these kiddos is such a blessing.  We are soaking up lots of sunshine these days.  Here's what we've been up to so far this summer: Bruneau Sand Dunes, free lunch at Tully Park, the Boise Zoo, boating, bike rides, and walks. 
Bruneau Sand Dunes. 
Channing climbed up and down the sand dunes with his friends so many times.  He was covered in sand.  Up his nose, in his ears, everywhere!  He loved it and totally crashed on the long drive home.





I took Mckenzie to the park just her and I.  She's going to be 3 years old soon!  She's requested a butterfly cake.  And it has to be pink and purple.  I love how girly she is. 


Isaac has apparently realized that as the third child he has to scream to be heard.  He is SO loud.  Last week we had the missionaries over for dinner and every time I started to talk Isaac would yell.  And when I stopped talking he would stop.  And then he'd yell again as soon as I started talking again!  Needless to say it's very difficult to have a conversation when Isaac's around.  

Isaac learned how to walk about 2 weeks after his 1st birthday.  Something that ALWAYS makes me laugh is seeing Isaac walk with his shirt off--his whole body jiggles with every step.  Haha!

It's a Good Life

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....

Merry Christmas

By
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.... ...

Can't Wait To Be Done!

By
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!
