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!

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.

My reality check

By
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...

60 Things I Love About My Mom

By
In honor of my mom turning 60 years old on February 5th I have written 60 things that I love about her. 1. My mom lives the gospel. 2. She taught me how to follow the prophet. 3. My mom loves to travel. 4. With each baby I had she took the time to be there.  And then stayed for at least a week following the birth to help me at home.  She even brought be breakfast in bed. 5. My mom always fulfills her calling.  I remember when she was Relief Society President she was gone on my 15th birthday at an Enrichment meeting.  I was a bit peeved about it.  But now when I think about it I am inspired by her ability to 100% fulfill her calling and show up for her fellow RS sisters. 6. She taught me how to cook.  We always had a vegetable on the plate. 7. She thoroughly adores her grandkids. 8. My mom can do hard things. 9. My mom is a RN which is no easy job.  I know her job is often stressful.  She's an amazing labor and delivery nurs...
