"Can we go get ice cream?"

Today's quote is brought to you by Channing.  But if you know him you wouldn't be surprised that he asks to go get ice cream all the time.  Can't blame him though.  Who doesn't love ice cream!?

Occasionally, like twice a month, we'll take the family out on a date to get ice cream.  Sometimes it's driving all together to Albertson's down the road to grab a quart of ice cream.  Other times it's going to get frozen yogurt.  Pictured below is a trip to Reed's Dairy at the beginning of September.  That ice cream is da bomb.


 Note about Miss Mickey May, she usually ends up eating my ice cream.  It's not that she picks a bad flavored ice cream but that she always thinks mine is a little better.  Good thing I'm willing to share!  So here she is eating my ice cream.





The next family date night, yesterday, was to McDonald's.  I know, we're fancy like that.  But hey, it's cheap and about 2 minutes from our house.  Isaac was in heaven!  We didn't put him in a high chair so he sat there, more often climbed around getting fudge on everything, and ate his hot fudge sunday.




In conclusion.... Happy Fall!

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

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!

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!
