"My Boogers Are Small"

Channing learned how to whistle. Now he whistles all day long.

He's still enjoying kindergarten. His favorite things are tetherball (he calls it tuggerball), PE, recess, and going to get the milk. Every few weeks he takes a turn with a partner to get the classes milk. They can choose regular milk or chocolate milk, I bet you can guess what he picks, everyday for a snack.

Kindergarten is exhausting!

Some quotes from Mckenzie: As she's picking her nose, "my boogers are small."

I asked her one day while watching her paint at the dinner table, "why are you so pretty?" Her response, "Because I wash my face again and again!"

We planted a hydrangea. Unfortunately Jett ate most of it when we were inside. There's a few leaves left. Hopefully it'll come back.

Three things Isaac loves, climbing everything, chocolate zucchini muffins, and playing in water. He's the only baby we've ever had that'll dunk his own head in water and then laugh about it. After one zucchini muffin he'll scream until he gets another one. The latest thing I found him climbing is a water toy he got for his birthday, trust me when I say that it was impressive he climbed into it.

Do you like Isaac's hair cut? I think it's adorable. Love a good buzz cut.

Jett likes to stair at me sometimes and wish he were in my bed. Not gonna happen!

Date with Dad to the skate park. Got shaved ice and found a praying mantis. Can it get any better?!

Happy Halloween!

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

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...

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....
