Happy New Year!

From our family to yours, we wish you all a Happy New Year! Love the Miller's.

My Baby All Grown Up!

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, that is my daughter talking on her cell phone while driving her bike!

A Very Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful, busy, and fun packed Christmas this year! On Christmas Eve Honey Buns and I wrapped each of the gifts we had for the kids and for eachother, stuffed stockings and placed it all under the tree in perfect form. In recent years I have found myself remembering the feeling of waking up on Christmas morning as a kid (about 4 am! ) and running out to see what Santa had left me under the tree. Well, I have to say I thought that nothing could ever top that feeling until this year when we got to see Madicakes's expression when she saw the tree on Christmas morning... all lit with sparkling lights and lots of gifts packed underneath... and of course the new bike santa left for her.... it is a wonderful feeling to know how lucky we are to have family.

Snow Day!

Yay! Sweetness experienced a snow day! It was so fun to take her out in the snow and let her play. She was so excited, she didn't want to come in even though we were out for an hour or so!

Left the Homestead

So come Thursday morning, Honey Buns got off work early due to the weather and we decided to pack up the kiddos and head into town and stay at Mom and Jim's house for a couple days. It was nice to get out of the house and see some family and see the snowy town. Here is Lake Whatcom all pretty and snowy. I love it and wish that it would snow more and stay around longer! :)

Winter Wonderland

It started snowing at our place on Wednesday evening... Yay! We love it! The snow always reminds Honey Buns and I of our year in Tahoe. This is a picture of our "outdoor" tree. We bought a fake tree a couple years ago, but decided we want the kiddos to still experience the whole "chopping down your own tree" thing so we, meaning Honey Buns cut down this tree on his Dad's property. He brought it home in the middle of a rain storm and put lights on it in the dark. It looks great at night, but during the day you can see the mangled mess of lights. Its great, and we love it! Sweetness gets excited every evening when the lights come on.

Your Getting Soooo BIG!

Little BAM is not going to be very little for much longer! He is 3 1/2 months old and already sporting his 6 month size clothes! He is really enjoying watching his big sis play and loves it when she gives him kisses and hugs and pats on the back. She is very good at helping me burp him! BAM is not the only one growing though... Miss Sweetness is getting big too and is learning all kinds of things like where her nose, ears and tummy are can say "hi" and "bye" but our favorite is when she talks her talk so matter of factly!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun this year! I thought trick-or-treating was fun when I was a kid, but having your own kids to take trick-or-treating is even funner! We started out the evening by going down to Fairhaven and letting Miss Madi Ballerina trick-or-treat with all the other gazillion kids that were there. She wasn't too interested in the candy (I know this will change by next year) she was just so excited to run around the sidewalks with all the other kids wearing her tutu and pink chucks making sure we were not far behind her. Mr Pea Pod Brody was cozy and warm in his costume which I craftily connected to the front pack so it looked like I had a large green vegetable hanging off my chest. :) We ended the evening by going to Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner ( the best homemade chili) with friends and family. Well, actually once the kids were in bed, the parents snuck out to see one of our favorite bands play... The All Nighters. Oh, and the live reenactment of Micheal Jackson's Thriller which was done in the middle of downtown Bellingham where I think probably more than half of Bellingham showed up to watch. Yes, there were zombies and a Micheal Jackson look alike! Pretty Cool!

Another Great Cook Book!

My Dad recently gave me another great cook book.... It is called Feeding The Whole Family by Cynthia Lair. I love this cook book mostly because the whole first section talks about how to feed your whole family -baby, young children and their parents healthily. And then there are the recipes which are great! There is something for everyone including a whole section on how to make healthy lunchboxes! Its great and so far I have loved everything I have tried out of here... so THANKS Dad-I love it!

Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza!

On Friday night we carved pumpkins with our friends Kerri and Eldad. Well actually, Kerri and I carved pumpkins while the guys watched Warren Miller videos! Ha ha! It was so much fun! I made a big pot of chili and Kerri brought the corn bread and then we roasted the seeds when we were done carving. ( My favorite part!) BAM joined in on the fun while Sweetness entertained all of us with her crazy running around and screaming ( A new thing she has discovered).

Horay For Fall!

A couple weeks ago we enjoyed a sunny but chilly Sunday afternoon at a local pumpkin patch with our friends Kerri and Eldad. We had so much fun and Sweetness really enjoyed playing in the patch. Later we used a golf cart to tour the farm. They had a huge apple orchard and then a gift shop at the end where we sat and ate yummy caramel apples. BAM was asleep as soon as the golf cart started moving...

5 Generations

A 5 generation picture! WOW! I am pleased to introduce Honey Buns's Mom, Grandfather, and Great Grandmother. We had a wonderful visit with Honey Bun's family (I am embarrassed to say this was taken about a month ago and I am just now getting around to putting it on here! )while they were in town. They got to meet BAM for the first time and he got lots of holding time in that evening mean while Sweetness showed us all how much energy she has while running around Grandma's house getting into anything she could get her hands on. :) What a fun time spent with a wonderful family!

A Great Great Lady

Meet BAM and Sweetness's Great Great Grandmother. We got to visit with her recently and she got to meet BAM. We had a wonderful time visiting with her and the kids Great Grandparents too.

One Week Old

Here is our little BAM at one week...

Our Little Boy

Here is our newest member of the family... He was born on August 7th at 11:13pm. He weighed 7 pounds 4 oz and was 21 1/4 inches long.

Still Pregnant!

Well I am 38 weeks now and still going! Little Man just doesn't want to come out yet I guess. I have been having contractions off and on so we will see what happens in the next week or two.

First Ride in the Falcon

Sweetness took her first ride in the Falcon! She loved it and laughed and giggled the whole time. We took her for a short ride down to the Birch Bay State Park and back. Most of you know Honey Buns has had the 64 Ford Falcon since he was 16. We don't drive it in the winter but come summer he gets it all prepped and ready to ride. Last weekend we went out to Port Angeles for my best friends wedding and we drove the Falcon. It was so much fun and Sweetness thought it was pretty cool too!

Another Sweetness On The Way...

Just an update on our next addition to the family... I am 37 weeks along and last Wednesday at my checkup I was 3cm dilated and 80% effaced. Hmmm what does all that mean? Basically, the little guy could come any day now. My doctor said it is just a matter of when labor starts. We are patiently waiting his arrival and will for sure let everyone know once he does arrive.

My Other Backyard

Sweetness discovered how cool her other backyard is... We took her down to the beach so she could play in the sand for the first time. She was not sure what to make of all of it at first but soon realized that is was pretty fun to play in the small tide pools and sand.

Summer Fun!

A little summer fun! Sweetness enjoying some swimming and Daddy time!
