Christmas 2019

By
Christmas time! In the beginning of December Jeff, Cortney, and their kids came to visit along with mom and dad.  We did an early Christmas with them.  

Julia took pics of everyone.  That's always a bit chaotic.  But we got good pics in the end.


On the first day of December it snowed!


Papa built airplane models with the kids.

Isaac loved holding Owen.

Isaac's first time trying egg-nog.  I think he liked it.
This was mine and Justin's 9th wedding anniversary.  We ate at the Kona Grill.  We split a sushi roll and macadamia nut chicken.  Then for dessert we shared a cinnamon roll.  Then we went to see a movie.  Loved it all!  Also this was the night that I told Justin that we were expecting another baby!  He was super surprised!
We spent Christmas Eve at the Crawfords.  Julia gifted everyone matching PJs.

So cute!! I love these girls
I just have to share this hilarious Santa picture.  This was from dinner with Santa at Channing's school.  Is this a mug shot?

Just a random cute picture from the month.

Ninja caught trying to sneak a treat from the gingerbread house!

Merry Christmas!  It was a great day spent with my family.

    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.
