October 2019

By
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.

Happy Halloween!

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...

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....
