"Where's the cheese grater?!"

By
We're already half way through February.  Can you feel spring in the air?  Me neither.  Just kidding, this winter hasn't been bad at all.  But I'll be very happy when it's a little less chilly outside.

We celebrated Justin's 33rd birthday with a family dinner.

Justin HATES being sung Happy Birthday and being the center of attention.  Thanks for letting us sing to you! 

The day after Justin's birthday, January 31, I flew to San Diego for a girls weekend.  We spent 4 days in Imperial Beach at Nora's condo.  It was amazing.  I got to read a book, play games, only make breakfast for myself, go shopping, eat good food, and hang out with my mom, Julia, Cortney, Leanne, Deedee, Debbie, and Nora.  And even Bridget came down for a day.  Loved it.  We celebrated my mom's 60th birthday.




After breakfast at Loews.  

Julia and I went on a run our first morning.

Happy Birthday

Checking out Balboa Park

Acai bowl at the farmer's market.

Channing loves tae kwon do classes three times a week.  He's testing for his orange belt next week.  He's still very much into robots and wants to build one that does his chores.


Mckenzie is working on being potty trained.  She's slowly improving.  About three times a day she has pee accidents and about 2 poop accidents a day.  Which is a definite improvement from a month or two ago.  She got a stuffed horse from Grandma Sandy in the mail for Valentine's Day.  It's covered in pink hearts.  So naturally she's named it "hearts".
She's often found using Jett as a pillow.
Isaac just got a sweet hair cut.  He's an entertaining kid.  He knows a few more words which helps him not scream as much during the day.
I noticed Isaac was giggling during lunch.  It was because he stuffed two grapes in his cheeks and he thought it was hilarious!

Just hanging out in Jett's cage.  I promise I didn't lock him in.  ;) 

I took the kids to the dentist this week.  They both did great!  Everyone's teeth are looking good with no cavities.  And Channing's bottom tooth is getting very wiggly!  He'll be so happy when he loses his first tooth.  



Justin sent me the following picture of Isaac.  Isaac had gone quiet, which often means he's up to no good, and Justin found him sitting on Mckenzie's potty seat.  He was happily sitting there talking to himself.


I love when Isaac let's me snuggle with him before bedtime.  It's often a brief snuggle that ends with him pushing my face away, because he thinks it's funny, but I'll take every second I can get!


Now about the cheese grater.  Tonight I made spaghetti for dinner.  After making everyones plates I grabbed my block of parmesan from the fridge so that I could grate fresh cheese on our spaghetti.  Justin and I searched for the cheese grater for at least 10 minutes.  We have NO idea where it is.

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...
