Channing Turns 6

By
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!

    Have you ever tried running (more like slow jogging) with a double stroller?  My suggestion is to avoid it...unless you're into pain and frustration. I'm a morning workout person.  And I'm not talking about waking up before my kids at 6am and getting in a workout--I'm not crazy.  I'm into doing my workout when it's convenient and I don't have to sacrifice too much.  For example I don't like to exercise when I:  Have to wake up earlier than normal.  Stay up later than normal. Be too cold/hot for a long period of time. Or listen to a kid cry/whine the whole time.     Right now I've chosen to walk/jog in the morning after breakfast and before Mckenzie's nap.  That way the morning goes by quickly and I get a workout in.  Justin and I signed up for a race here in Meridian and that's my workout motivation...hence the jogging with a stroller.  I'm pretty sure the double stroller ways at least 75lbs with the kids in it....

$$ for Jeeps

By Justin
Well I've done it again - bought another Jeep. But this time it was Melissa pushing me to do it! (what a good wife!) It's a 99 Grand Cherokee Limited (we previously had a Laredo by the same year.) The people were originally asking $4200 but we Hamiltoned them down to $2800 thanks to Melissa. I was talking & negotiating with the husband. And then the wife comes out appalled that the husband was coming down so much in price. And she snapped and said she was firm on $3000. So Melissa stepped up and said "I wouldn't give more than $2800."  The tension was high as the 2 women shot dagger-eyes at each other. Neither one backing down. Finally the husband agreed. And we drove it home. Then 2 days later I decided to list our Cherokee for sale around midnight, by noon the next day (today) I had it sold. It's been a busy day. So in 2012 alone, I've now owned 4 different vehicles. Melissa is the hospital today. She is just starting her preceptorship in labo...

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.
