Channing Turns 6

I think turning 6 means that your kid is officially growing up.  Channing looks so tall and grown up these days.  I love watching home videos of Channing from when he was a baby or toddler.  He loves watching them too and then trying to reenact them.
Pancakes with sprinkles and whipped cream for his birthday breakfast.

What I love about Channing is that he's a really good kid.  He wants to make good choices and help out.  He often surprises me by doing nice things.  For instance the other day I told Channing and Mckenzie to go brush their teeth.  And Mckenzie was so happy to find that Channing had put her toothpaste on for her.  How sweet!  Side note the next time he did that he purposely put on the "spicy" toothpaste on Mckenzie's toothbrush which she did not like. The kindness comes and goes.... :)
Channing wanted a robot cake for his birthday.

Channing and Emma played some minute to win it games.
He loves to scare people.  Especially me (his mom).  Unfortunately he has made me scream quite a few times.  He's become a pro at waiting till the right moment to jump out and scare the heck outta me. 

He got so many good presents!  Among them was a box of chocolate cereal that he is hugging in this picture.
Channing's really athletic.  He was quick to ride a bike without training wheels.  He's excellent at throwing a ball - often more accurate than myself.   

Pure happiness!


The day after Channing's birthday he took his best friend Joey to JumpTime.

Justin took them out for some pancakes after.
 He's loving taekwondo and the medals he won last week.  And he's always willing to show you his one armed push ups and jump kicks.

Best kicks and amazing power!

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...
