Trip to Malibu

On March 14th we flew to Malibu.  This was the start of things closing due to the coronavirus.  During our stay in Malibu most things were closed but we still got to go to the pool (until that closed too) and the beach.  
We made it to Malibu! We love staying at the beach house.

At Cici and Papa's house we picked loads of lemons.  One of the kids favorite things to do is make lemonade with Cici.


Papa is a human jungle gym.
Off to find hermit crabs.

This little hidden beach was lots of fun to explore.
 





The beach is super fun for kids.  Isaac loved this huge hole.  He would run and jump in it, sometimes head first.





Dede and baby Savannah.

Isaac is always prone to getting hurt and being on vacation is no exception.  Luckily his swollen lip healed quickly.



Nasty snails!









Gotta document when I beat Justin in concentration. 

The day before we left CA we had to return our rental car.  This is because our first flight home got cancelled.  We returned the van, got picked up by Cici in dede's van, and then met the Ostler's at In n out.



We were able to book another flight home, a day later than expected, and I was happy that this flight didn't get cancelled too.

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!
