Christmas Eve

Yes, I have yet another post to do! I still have to talk about Christmas day and Channing's blessing! The two people who read my blog are going to get sick of me. =) I really want to get this all done though because I know if I don't soon it may not happen for weeks. I'm taking advantage of Shane being home from school at nights and getting this done! Every year we go to my Mom and Dad's on Christmas Eve. The kids have so much fun and look so forward to it. Makoy was asking me from the second we woke up if it was time to go yet. There was so much good food and fun. I love spending time with family.

Makoy got some awesome dinosaur jammies and a dinosaur book.

This is the best shot I could get with him and my parents. Funny how HE is the one I could get to look at the camera. =)
Channing with Grandma and Grandpa . She got a cute little outfit and baby book.

Channing in her little festive dress, her bow was red and green. I figure I'll dress her up while she has no say about it. :)

We always get pj's from my mom (which I love!) but we also got Monchhichi's! We loved these little dolls when we were kids, but I think only Beck had one. I know Jen and I never did!

Shane got some new socks, which makes me happy because I usually steal them .

Channing and Daddy, she already has him wrapped around her finger.

Some of the kids sang the chipmunk Christmas song. I had to post this picture because Emma was doing this sing/cry face the entire time. She is hilarious.

The kids with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a lot of work to get this picture!

Random Pics

These pictures are not from the same event or possibly even month! In an effort to get some pictures on here for memories, I am just picking and choosing out of my millions and slapping them on here! I won't go into detail about all of the things we have done because there is too much. This is a mixture of Christmas parties, meeting cousins, tub time and Santa. Hopefully my randomness will make sense.

Meeting her cousin Cheyenne from Michigan. It was so great to see them. Love you guys!


Meeting Uncle Ernie while here from Michigan
Her first time meeting cousin Hannah

This is from the party at Jen's house. My camera camera was being flaky but I manged to get this cute pic! I love this picture, so sweet.
My Grandparents came to each of us girls to drop off some Christmas goodies and get pictures with the kids. I'm so glad we were able to get this picture, even though Koy's hair is shaggy!
Cute Saydi with Channing! She loves her and it's so cute. Keep in mind this sweet face as you scroll down to the next-hilarious!

"Um excuse me, this is MY baby!"

She HATES the bath! I hurried and took a picture before the screaming began. She's getting so chunky!

Makoy and Channing, little pals. At least during this picture =)


She wanted to be included in our cookie making too. She is GINORMOUS!
Channing and Makoy with Santa. He dropped in at the Stone Christmas party. Makoy's "vampire" smile as we call it.... cracks me up.

Channing with Santa. She liked him this year, we'll see what next year brings!

All Things Koy

I have so many pictures to post and things to blog about. I should have been posting something daily for the last two weeks, I swear! To start my massive blog updates, I promised Makoy I would do a post all about him. Channing has been getting all the attention since she was born and Makoy was the one to point it out to me. Talk about feeling like a bad mom. Anyway, I thought I would talk about some things he likes to do along with some pictures. Makoy will be five years old in February. I can NOT believe it! Some things he loves to do are: coloring, playing "IndiANDY Jones" cooking, singing and making up songs ALL day long, and taking pictures of anything he can. He actually does a pretty good job. Here are a few pics he has taken

He got this one of the tree....

And this one of his sweet new dinosaur jammies...
And this one of his computer he got from Santa
Speaking of Santa, he overcame his fear of him this year

He was in the ward Christmas primary program as an angel

I had to get a picture of his "girlfriend" Livvie on here! She was the star and she is a star to him!
Doing what he loves best, helping cook! We made cookies for Santa

He got a little flour happy

He really wanted a picture with Mommy while baking. This is the best we got

The final product!

You're a sweet boy and I love you so much. You fill our house with so much joy and I'm grateful for that. I will do better to pay more attention to you, even if it means a mess stays a mess. I love you Makoy!

One Month

I seriously can not believe this sweet baby is one month old! Where has the time gone? When I was hugely pregnant each day felt like a year. Now the days feel like seconds. I already have started to forget what life before her was like. I kiss her all day long and can not get enough of her chubby cheeks. She inherited my round, chubby face ,which I'm sure she won't enjoy later in life, but I sure do love kissing her chubby cheeks! She went from 6 lbs 3 oz one month ago to 7 lbs 11 oz today. She is growing so fast! Here are some pics of my little love bug.


Seriously, who could resist those cheeks?

Precious

I love this girl



And what's a post without a pic of this handsome little guy?

A Little Late

I know Thanksgiving is old news now, but I wanted to post a few pictures from that day. We had a lot of fun at Jen's house this year. Her and my mom cooked dinner and I brought drinks. I felt like such a schmuck only bringing beverages but lets face it, I barely get my teeth brushed and ratty hair done most these days, so I appreciated Jen's persistence in that being my only assignment. Thanks for all the good food and fun! Anyway, we also got Channing's newborn pictures done a few weeks ago. My friend Katy, who did our family pictures, took pictures of our little beauty. I know I'm her mom so I'm slightly partial, but seriously, she is beautiful! She got some other great ones that I will post eventually as well. It took a while to get the shots, but Katy was patient and because of that was able to get some great shots! Thanks again Katy!

Things We Are Learning

We are slowly starting to figure Channing out...I think. Here are some things we have learned so far.

-She likes her passi but doesn't have to have it. She spits it out to go to sleep.
-She will only fill her diaper once we have put a clean one on for her to leave her mark in
-She HATES being naked
-She pees when you change her, no matter what. Good thing I can change a diaper fast
-She has the hiccups almost all day every day and does not like them
-She loves her brother. She puts herself to sleep while he's holding her
-She loves to be swaddled

Here are some more pics of her. Most of them are when she was first meeting family and friends.

Meeting Grandma Anderson
Meeting Aunt Amy
