All Dressed Up

These are some pictures we took before a friend's wedding yesterday (Miller isn't dressed up because he didn't go...but he's still cute!). I guess we dress up every Sunday for church, but we're always rushing out the door and never think to take any pictures. We also take very few pics with both parents in them since one of us is always taking the pictures. We'll have more family pics taken soon...

Hope everyone has had a great weekend! It surely has been beautiful!

Kids' Rooms

Jeff's parents just moved and were kind enough to let us use two of their guest beds for Maggie and Miller. Here are pictures of their new "big boy" and "big girl" rooms. Miller is still sleeping in his crib for now, though. He's happy there and sleeps well, so we're not ready to move him to the big bed just yet. Oh, and Maggie's curtain rod, umm, fell, last week. ;-) That's next on the to-do list.


Thank you, Pop and Yaya!

Zoo Trip!

The kids and I had a fun trip to the zoo today! Here are a few pictures...
Miller...VERY happy about playing in the splash pad and eating raisins
Boosting his immune system (aka eating raisins off the ground at the zoo) Yes, eww. :-)
Miller was trying to keep Maggie warm. Her lips turn blue when it's under 80 degrees.
Two-headed giraffe...sort of.

Miller's Birthday Party!

Miller's second birthday party was on Saturday. DEFINITELY memorable. :-) The funny first...The balloons flew away within five minutes of being tied to the pavilion; the Mickey Mouse ears melted off the cupcakes just as quickly; and we found out that I'm not good at using the value size ketchup and mustard bottles. But we were surrounded by family and friends that we love, and we had a wonderful time celebrating the birthday of a very special little guy. Miller, by the way, LOVED all the Mickey Mouse-themed food, music, etc.

We're so appreciative of our family and friends who helped out with the party. Jeff's dad grilled the hot dogs for us; my parents hauled all the stuff to the park; and our friends Scott and Margaret got there early to help us set things up. The night before the party, some of our neighbors came over to help us make the Mickey cupcakes and cookies. LOTS of laughs were had. :-) Jeff and I are so blessed to have family and friends who were willing to help us out. What a wonderful weekend full of laughter and celebration! Here are a few pics from the party...

The happy birthday boy...VERY pleased that everyone is singing to him!
Miller LOVED the cupcakes!
The balloons, minutes before they flew away!
The cupcakes pre-Mickey ears melting
The cookies and cupcakes post-Mickey ears melting. It's okay...Miller still loved them! :-)

Miller's 2nd Birthday!

Our sweet Miller turned two today! Time SURELY flies. As I was putting him down for his nap, I realized it was the exact time he was born two years ago. I hugged him extra tight and thanked God for our precious little boy. What a BLESSING he is to our family. Here are a few pictures from Miller's birthday. His party is Saturday, so more pictures will be coming soon!
Eating and covered in food...how he's happiest! :-)
One of my favorite pictures ever...This boy LOVES his daddy!
Mommy's sweetheart

I can't believe my baby boy turns TWO on Wednesday. Here's his birthday video...a couple of days early. :-)

Two Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

I was cleaning up from lunch yesterday and heard a good bit of commotion. Found this. (Oh, Maggie makes the beds every morning. Sometimes she helps me, and sometimes she asks to make them all by herself. It is a rare occasion that she will allow Miller to move a pillow out of place.) :-)
