October 2019

Alrighty folks, it's been 7 months since I last posted an update on this here blog.  In my attempt to get caught up I'm choosing my favorite pictures from that month and putting a short description with them.  It's April 2020 but I'll be scheduling this post to have come out in the month that it's about.  Here we go!

October, fall is in the air.  Fall months are great but not my favorite.  Mainly because after fall comes winter.  But I enjoy the days that are still warm and the excitement my kids have about Halloween.

Pumpkin carving time!  The kids looove carving pumpkins.  As a parent it's a ton of work!

Mckenzie wanted a kitty.  

Our creations!

This was Channing's school trunk or treat.  He got a lot of attention dressed as this Ghostbusters character.

About to go trick or treating! This year we went in a huge group.  My mom came into town that day.  We had the Crawfords, Hamiltons, and Wegners as well.

This was at Mckenzie's preschool trip to Linder Farms.  I let her lead me on this corn maze.

She's the best pumpkin picker!

We also got to go to Farmstead with the family.

Hay ride with the Wegners.

Isaac discovered his love of avocado toast.  He's my only kid that willingly eats avocado and eggs.

Justin just being....well I don't know what that's about.  :)

This is when Isaac started making this scrunched nose face all the time, especially when he's not happy about something.  He makes us giggle.

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!
