Love Ya Kate!

Welcome Home Papa & Nana!

Happy 30th Anniversary Papa & Nana!
Mike’s parents returned late Monday night after celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary in Hawaii! We made signs to welcome them and of course missed the grand welcome we had planned. Their flight landed almost 30 min early. Oh well we made the best of it and brought our signs to the luggage pick-up. They were all smiles and had a beautiful tan…well as much as a Miller can tan that is (me included)!
Welcome back – We love you!

They brought over some gifts for the kids. Blake totally loves the new guitar. He has blessed us with many songs already. Ellie got a REAL grass skirt and coconut shells – too cute! There is more to this story look below….

20 years ago my parents went to Hawaii and brought back two grass skirts and only one pair of coconut shells. Guess who got them….YES MY SISTER KATY! I got the cotton floral top. Yes I should have been thankful but I was so jealous! I wish I could find the picture of us wearing them. My eyes were so puffy from crying and my sister has a smug little smile on her face. Needless to say we still tease each other about the whole thing. As you can imagine when Katy came over that day to find a replica of the famous grass skirt and coconut shells she had to try it on. I know this is probably a sister moment that only we laugh so hard at until tears are streaming down our faces and our sides hurt but I had to share. Check out these pictures!

After she tried it on the skirt fell off and the shells busted apart. Older sister/mommy to the rescue – all fixed!

Silly Boys...

I was going through my pictures and videos last night and found these two videos that just make me smile!

Ellie the Cook!

Ellie's Dinner Ellie made dinner last night. She did everything from spraying the pam in the pan, ripping the tortillas into pieces, and layering the enchilada filling and shells. Have you ever noticed that your kids eat more when a) they make it and b) they get to stay on the counter and eat dinner. It was so cute to see their faces when I handed them a bowl of food and let them stay on the counter!

How cute is this picture.
This was a proud mommy moment.
A doggy that Ellie drew, I was so impressed.
How cute are those feet!?!

Blake's new haircut!

He got the shave!

Tobymac

Michael - Tobymac - Justin

Well Michael got the hook-up...Justin got tickets to the Tobymac concert last Friday. Michelle and I were suppose to go but ended up sick :(
Justin works at the radio station "The Fish" so they even got to meet Toby! How cool are they, yes I am a little jealous.

Cold & Sunny!

Ready for Spring and Summer

Fun In The Sun....

Lip Smackers

Cool Raspberry Ice - with glitter!

this is about the 15th layer of chapstick....
Why Mom...I NEED more!
I have to say my brother is right. Moments like these pre-blog days would have never really been camera worthy. But now....we can share them with all our friends. He was just so proud of that pick raspberry ice glitter chapstick. Oh, it was SAD when we had to be all done.
Poor Blake!

I am so excited that I figured out how to post a video. I could very easily get carried away with this. Today the kids were all in Ellie's room playing and there was a sudden burst of music. I opened the door and found a GRAND dance party. Pretty Darn Cute!

Northwest Snow Days...

Even if it only sticks to your mittens it's still FUN!

It's cold Aunt Christine!
I wish it would snow EVERY day Mom.

Hi Mom, this is GREAT!

Oh boy this coat doesn't cover my belly when I lay down.

What a rush I think I will do it some more!

Ellie's big girl bed is so cool and comfy.
