A Visit From Utah!

Yeah...we finally had some visitors!! My sister Jan and her 3 kids decided to take a trip and headed to Seattle for Thanksgiving!! We had a ton of fun with them. My kids absolutely loved them and had so much fun! It was soooo nice to have so many playmates!! I don't think there was a moment where the four of them weren't being mauled by my little stinkers!! Thanks to my "seester" for helping me with Thanksgiving dinner, we did good!! I am so thankful they were able to come and spend some time with my crazy little family! We don't get too many visitors but when we do, we value that quality time more than anything! We got in a few outings while they were here and Jan was so nice and stayed home one night to babysit my kids while we took her kids and had some fun!! Justin and I laughed when we were headed down town how weird it will be when our kids are my niece and nephews ages!! Hope they didn't think we were too lame!!

~Ragen's 1st Birthday!!~

I can't believe my little Raggie is 1!! Time sure is flying by but I can't say I'm having too much fun!! I enjoy my little ones, don't get me wrong, but Oh Boy do they ever stop!!?? I know I will look back someday down the road and say I miss those days but right now we just try to get through the day!! Ragen had so much fun on her special day and she absolutely loved her cake. She has been our first child to actually dig in and eat her cake! You can tell by one of the pictures how excited she was. It was so funny to watch her! Then came the presents! She thought that was great! I didn't think she would really get in to it but it was like she knew what was going on and loved every minute of it! She's still not walking but does go around with her butt in the air like a stink bug! She got a walker and had a lot of fun with it! Halli thought it should be hers and said when she turns 6 she will get one!! Halli had a hard time seeing her little sister celebrate her birthday. To say the least we had about three melt down drop to the floor tantrums. They were just beautiful and so entertaining!! Gotta love our Halli!! Ragen's little personality is so cute and she still loves to smile and has now started doing this funniest look. I can't explain it so you will just have to look at the pictures. She is pulling the new face in the pictures where she is opening presents! Lots of pictures I couldn't pick just a few!!Happy Birthday Raggie, we love you!!

~Happy Halloween~

I think we got in three Halloween parties this year...all on Halloween!! Jaden had his Harvest party at school. They had lots of fun making spiders, measuring pumpkins, and eating lots of yummy snacks! After school we bolted home to have lunch and to make sure the girls got their naps before we were off to our next party! One of Jaden's friends from a near by neighborhood had a Halloween party! It was great! Her mom went to lots of work! They did all kinds of crafts and ate snacks and pumpkin pizza!! After a short stay there we were off to our last party of the night!! Our last stop...some friends house! We ate chili and corn bread and lots of other good grub and then the guys took the little goblins out Trick-or-Treating while the moms stayed in with the babies and had some good laughs and handed out candy! Jaden stayed out a little later with the older kids and they came home with way too much candy!! Jaden and Halli had lots of fun! The Millers had a Happy Halloween!!
**Funny note...Halli told us Jaden was a race car!! What a smart girl, she knows all those buttons and gadgets belong in a race car not on Darth Vader!!

Last year Jaden was "Black Spiderman" and I didn't get a picture without his mask...so this year I actually remembered!!

Halli is showing her "kitty meow" moves!!

The Miller children went dark this year!! We live on the dark side!! Hee Hee!!

Here's daddy's ginormous pumpkin...he was kind of disappointed but he couldn't find a stencil for this bad boy, so he created this!! Good job dad!! Mom did the witch...great job mom!!
