June 5th & 6th

Well I might as well start from the beginning. We had a lot of visitors and a great time, looking back I didn't have my camera out as much as I wish I would of but was able to capture a few fun memories (and with the help of my sister as she took some for me as well). My sister and her husband, KingB's mom (AKA Grammie), 'other' G-ma, and Uncle Jeff, KingB's cousin Ryan and his wife Sam with their two girls all drove into town for the weekend. It was a wonderful weekend and lots of excitement. The kids (big and small) had a blast..

Saturday everyone went swimming - here are a few photos from that

SportyB's cousin is taking notes there in the background.. watch next picture

She has the form just added a little 'sticking out of the tongue'

This looks a little dangerous I think

SportyB playing in his sister's room with Grammie and they even stopped to pose for the camera

Here I am.....

WOW what a month June has been. I have so much catching up to do with blogging and it isn't going to be right this minute (sorry). Just wanted to let you know I'm alive and hope to be updating by the weekend - Starting with BabyB's birthday! Yes, I'm a slacker but you will soon understand why.

Happy Birthday BabyB

WOW is really the only thing that I have been able to say when talking about BabyB turning one.. it is so hard to believe that it's been a year already when she hurried into this world just a little after 3pm on the 5th of June. Neither her nor SportyB have any patience to sit nicely in the warm comfort of my uterus and await their departure.. nope they both got ancy requiring me to sit on bed rest. I hope it is just a sign of strong willed children as they are both proving to be. Here are a few pictures from over the year - Enjoy and Happy Birthday BabyB

SportyB was very excited to meet his baby sister

Weekend Recap & June is here

This past weekend we took a road trip down to Sarasota and stayed with KingB's dad and step mom. SportyB had a blast and BabyB seemed to have fun as well. Friday we had lunch with Papulli and later that afternoon headed to the beach (we left BabyB home to nap with G-ma). The weather was beautiful and the wind was kickin

but that didn't stop the boys from going in - SportyB had a blast with Popi and daddy in the waves
Took a break from the waves to make a few sand castles before heading back into the water

SportyB had a great time (aren't their beaches beautiful!)

After leaving the beach we decided we were going to hit the pool while we grilled hamburgers. We started off with this nice orange float until we realized there was a slow leak and we had a sinking baby

So after Popi made a trip to the attic we were back in business

We defiantly worked up an appetite - SportyB ate an entire hamburger while BabyB played around with her first corn on the cob

Saturday the boys played golf while we played games and walked around the local flea market. BabyB had fun making music and dancing to her own beat

But the drum only lasted a little while until she wanted in on the action of the game SportyB and G-ma were playing

We created a little speed bump to try to slow her down - she kept stretching out to try and reach the Sorry game pieces

Just 5 more minutes

You know those times when you wish you had just 5 more minutes to finish whatever it was you were doing before having to run and get the now crying baby (or child)? Well I have my 5 more minutes staler - SportyB!!! Whenever he hears his sister on the intercom he asks if he can go up and see her, of course you can honey.. (Yes, I have 5 more minutes) So the other day I was on the phone with my friend Kim and went up to get the kids from her room to find this

We had a little mini ball pit action going on in the crib - they were having so much fun and SportyB was so proud and having so much fun with his sister.. it was really sweet

Last week

Last week was an interesting week here at the Miller house to say the least. We enjoyed our holiday with BBQing and swimming to celebrate Memorial Day. Before our friends arrived I had noticed that one of BabyB's earrings were missing - FREAKED out and was assured by several that she probably didn't eat it and we would find it in the carpet or in her bed. So a few of us went on a scavenger hunt and came up with nothing.. of course a few days later BabyB released present #1 and then the next day I received present #2 - I'll leave out the details. She has been getting a few more strands of hair so I bought some bows. In the first picture can you see her LITTLE strand I got to stick up?

I think she wasn't happy with me in this picture

But she enjoyed eating the package

BabyB is still very attached to her blanket and fingers when she is tired

SportyB's last day at school was last Thursday. We have been so pleased with his school over the past two years and were sad to go. This summer he is attending a VPK program (FREE for us - YEAH) and will be starting Kindergarten in August. Below is a picture with his teacher and they also did face paintings that day. At the beginning of the school year last year they measured all the kids in his class and then again at the end of the school year. I was able to snap a shot of SportyB next to the chart to show how much he has grown this school year. During his end of the year program he received a leadership award.

Here are a few fun photos from the pool party
