Finishing Up July

July came and went. In the month of July we went camping with the Crawfords, celebrated Mckenzie's 3rd birthday, Channing did two weeks of swim lessons, went to roaring springs, kids got hair cuts, and we went on a Kenney family reunion to McCall. Busy, fun month!

We spend lots of time playing outside. Mostly filling up the water toy or the kiddy pool. Isaac looooves water. He could splash himself in the face over and over again.

Channing fell asleep wearing a cape and mask, his light on full blast, and Jett asleep on his floor.

We had a family birthday party for Mckenzie. Butterfly cake, pinata, mac n cheese for dinner (the adults had hawaiian chicken and cilantro lime rice), and lots of presents.

Mckenzie is so precious. Some of the looks she gives me are hysterical. She's always up for playing with play doh, painting, collecting rocks, going grocery shipping with me, reading, getting every single washcloth wet in the bathroom upstairs, and much more.

She desperately wants to go to school. I could've put her in a 3 year old preschool that'd be two days a week and she would've loved it. But I decided to wait a year. Mainly because she still has bowel issues. She had a check up with her surgeon and he was pleased with how everything looks. He's optimistic that by working with the GI specialist we will get things figured out and she could be mostly potty trained in a year or two.

Mckenzie has been through a lot in her short life. One major surgery and all the recovery following (blood tests, dilations, check ups, bowel clean-outs). And she's still as happy as ever.

Yes that is Channing in his church clothes and mullet wig.

Isn't she adorable with her new dress and purse from her bday?

Channing did amazing in his swim lessons. He's super comfortable in the water. To celebrate I took him to Artic Circle for ice cream.

Oh, and Isaac sometimes cries while I'm making dinner. Gotta remember the hard times too right?

Before we headed to our Kenney Family Reunion I took the kids for a haircut. I love their eyes.

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....

Can't Wait To Be Done!

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!

Isaac Robert Hamilton

I've been meaning to write a blog post since Isaac was born. But every time I think about writing a post I get over whelmed with everything I want to write and all the cute pictures I want to share. So this blog post will just be about the day Isaac was born. (Or as much as I can remember! The details are already fading!!) On May 14th, Mother's Day, my mom flew into Boise. Gotta have my momma as my labor coach! Let me just say, I was so happy that this was my last Sunday at church. Don't get me wrong, I love church, but at 39 weeks pregnant I was feeling super uncomfortable sitting or standing for the 3 hours. I was scheduled to be induced the next day, the 15th. After a rough night of not being able to sleep well, mainly because I couldn't shut my brain off, I called the hospital at 6am to make sure they had room for me, and they said to "come on in!" Yay! This was actually going to happen! Justin and I arrived at St Al...
