November 2019

By
Continuing on with November! 

Cici came to visit!  I think Mckenzie and Cici look like twins in their sweaters and glasses.  Playing go fish of course.

Mckenzie had a princess cookbook from the library and her and Cici were making the french bread recipe (I think).

On another day they made parfaits.

My mom learned to dress warm in my cold house.

Chilly walk to the park.



Mckenzie is modeling a new dress Cici bought her.

One thing I love about fall time is getting lots of apples from the Crawford's tree and making applesauce!

Isaac still wishing it was Halloween.

In the month of November Channing has three weeks off of school (he's on a year round schedule).  A few moms took turns having some of the 1st graders get together for different activities. We played minute to win it games.

Don't worry, Jett is still around. He's very loved by all the family.

Chocolate smoothie stache.

Can't forget the phases of obsessions Isaac went through.  On this day he needed to wear ear protection all day and night.

And there's the headlamp phase.

Helping daddy in the kitchen.

We decided to paint our bedroom and bathroom.  What a chore!

This is what Mckenzie does while she's suppose to be sleeping.

High fitness class on Thanksgiving day!

Let us eat turkey!

Got the Christmas tree up!  Now on to the next holiday.

    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....

Pain in the Neck Child

By
I have one child that's a pain in the neck because she has a pain in her neck!  Did you follow that?  Actually Mckenzie is adorable and an excellent baby, but the poor kid has torticollis.  Here's what google says about torticollis,  a condition in which the head becomes persistently turned to one side, often associated with painful muscle spasms.   Mckenzie only wants to look forward and to the right.  This has caused the right side of her head to become flat. Last Thursday I took her to the physical therapist that specializes in this problem and received lots of good stretches that I need to do with Mckenzie 2-3 times a day.  She also wants Mckenzie to have tummy time about 5 times a day for 5 minutes each time.  The only time I can do these stretches successfully with Mckenzie is when she is falling asleep for a nap.  And it takes about 10-15 minutes to complete the stretches each time.  We're hopeful that w...

$$ 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...
