Hamilton Happenings

We've had lots of fun the last few months and I want to make sure to document them.  And I'll try not to be too bitter as the weather is cooling off.   Dinner at Grimaldi's and then watching the fountain. Mckenzie and Emily's first swim lessons.   Channing had swim lessons too.  It was a busy two weeks.   This is what happens most days days after Justin gets home. Can't forget Jett! Mckenzie is such a chatterbox these days.  Each sentence either begins or ends with "mom".  I guess she wants to make sure I'm listening.  Her current passions are coloring, looking a her princess recipe book, and playing with the keyboard in her room.  I let her have the keyboard in her room and she wanted some really piano music to look at to do her "music lesson".  She even put some fake flowers by the keyboard.  I am sooo happy that preschool has been going well for her.  I was nervous about her bathro...

As I write this it's a chilly mid-September day.  Channing is at school, Isaac is napping, and Mckenzie is playing in her room.  Even after living in Idaho for 10 years I'm still amazed by the daily change in weather.  While putting Isaac down for a nap this afternoon he dumped out his laundry basket and started playing in the dirty clothes.  I noticed that there was a swimsuit mixed in the heap of dirty clothes.  I do laundry pretty regularly.  Which means that in the last week or so we've gone from swimsuit weather to sweater weather.   It's no secret that Isaac is a challenging child.  Kyle (his cousin) knows it because Isaac bite his finger.  The little girl in stake conference knows it because Isaac smacked her on the bottom and yelled "bottom!"  Mckenzie knows it because she informed me that Isaac smeared yogurt all over his face and neck.  And I certainly know it because there are a good amount of ear phones in ...

It's June!  That means we are half way through this year.  I often think that I wish I could capture tiny moments through out the day because I forget them so quickly.  Like the funny things Mckenzie says.  Or the moments when Channing and I are kicking a soccer ball.  And when Isaac shows off his dance moves.  I hope one day we can rewind our lives and enjoy it in slow motion - the good moments anyways.  The breaking up fights moments we can fast forward through.   On May 25th, before heading to a game night, Justin and I went out to dinner at Diablo and Sons in downtown Boise.  The downtown scene is so different!  We enjoyed some very unique tacos.  Then we walked to Ben and Jerry's for some amazing ice cream.  Mmmm, so good.  The Tonight Dough is still my fav.  Then we went to a friends house and played Jungle Uno.  It was super fun!   Mckenzie got a cute haircut.  She's the cu...
