Hamilton Happenings

The first thing I want to talk about is baby Hamilton #4!  On April 6th I had my 20 week ultrasound to check on baby Ham.  It was exciting and reassuring to see that little baby kicking around.  All things look good as far as the baby goes.  Growing and developing well.  Baby Ham was measuring about a week ahead.  Which is pretty normal for me at this point.  I went into the ultrasound thinking that this baby was going to be a girl but I'm usually wrong.  And yup, I was wrong! It's a BOY!  It blows my mind to think that we will have three boys.  When did we suddenly become a house of boys!?  Poor Mckenzie really wanted a sister.  But she's been a trooper and seems to be happy.  I told her we'll just have to do a lot of mommy daughter stuff.   I bought each kid a new stuffed animal and wrapped a Hershey's bar.  I colored in the "he" part of hersHEy to show that it was a boy.  I think Mckenz...

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. Making Christmas chocolate bark. Early present time. Breakfast at Express Cafe. Add caption 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 Crawfor...

Hey there!  It's incredible how fast these past few months have been.  Actually since having Isaac I think time has been flying.  I'm grateful to post updates on this blog to help me remember life with three kids.  Maybe one day I'll have to figure out how to print all these posts.  On April 1st Mckenzie, Channing, and I woke up to saran wrap in front of our bedroom doors.  Only Channing didn't see it in time before he walked right into it.  Other pranks included freezing the kids cereal bowls, switching a kitchen drawer, and turning milk green.  Channing also did a water bottle prank to Mckenzie which got him in big trouble.  I told him not to do it but I guess his idea was too good to not try.  Basically he told Mckenzie to look in his water bottle and then he squeezed it which shot water up her nose.  I could tell he actually felt really bad afterward.   On April 3rd I took Mckenzie to the eye doctor.  ...

This is Mckenzie sleeping in our closet.  Anyone else feel exhausted when Christmas is over? This Christmas we had my mom, dad, Jeff, Cortney, and Patrick stay at our house.  Everyone arrived on December 21st.  That's also mine and Justin's 8th wedding anniversary.  They let us leave them with the kids while we went to try a new restaurant that was really yummy. On Saturday some of us met up at Country Donuts before heading to Costco.  Those donuts are so good.  It was a bit busy at Costco but still fun.  We of course got some hotdogs and such after shopping.  That evening we hosted dinner at our house.  We ate salmon.  Everyone's favorite! Sunday was church day.  Channing was so cute singing with the Primary kids.  That night everyone went on a drive to see Christmas lights. Monday, Christmas Eve day, was super fun!  The day started at Express Cafe.  All of us took up three tables.  It was ...
