Meet Baby Lizzie!

My little sister had her baby on June 18th via scheduled induction two weeks early.  Oh my goodness she is beautiful!  I had the opportunity to go take some newborn photos of her for the birth announcement.  She is so incredibly perfect and so content.  I just want to hold her all day!  These are just a few of my favorites. 

One day...

...when Sean is done with school and we move to Idaho :) I want a milk cow and some chickens.  That's not too much to ask, right?...

Memorial Day!

We had a BBQ at my parent's house.  Sean of course had to work, so we did it earlier so he could come.  It was so much fun and such a nice day!

The Zoo

It won't let me label again.  Whatever.  We went to the Zoo and of course had a blast!  It turned out to be not the best day for the Zoo weather wise, but it worked out.  We had tons of fun!  Mara loves all the animals.

Spring/Start of Summer

I can't get it to let me label each photo...annoying!  I'll just give the pictures numbers and label them down here.  Top is #1 and Bottom is #13

Pictures #1 & 2: at least once a day that is how you will find Mara.  Tutu and helmet.  Hey, she's got look pretty riding her bike!

Pictures #3 &4: After their baths we decided to snap a few pictures of them in their matching towels.  Thanks again Steph!

Pictures #5 & 6: Sean was getting really sick of all Logan's bibs that said things like, "princess in training", "DIVA", "pretty in pink", so he bought this bib.  Don't worry, Log still gets to sport his lovely bibs sometimes, but if this one is clean it's the one we chose! haha.

Picture #7: couldn't you just stare at him all day?

Pictures #8-11: Daddy did her hair that day, isn't it cute? :)  I came home from the gym to find them playing outside looking super cute!  They watered the plants, took out the garbage, rode the trike, and played on the grass.

Picture #12: Best buds.  Seriously.  We've always said that Mara loves Logan to death.  Lately she's been trying to make that literal it seems.  I never thought someone could die being loved to death, but we have to keep an eye on Mara to make sure she doesn't hug/kiss/squeeze him to death.  He loves it until he can't breathe :) 

Pic # 13 Logan is always making us laugh.  One of the things he does that gets us is stick his toys in his mouth.  Doesn't sound very funny to you?  Well, look at that T in his mouth...wait, that's not  T!  It's an I.  His mouth is seriously ginormous.  We have to be SO careful about what's lying around because he can fit such big things in his cavernous mouth.  I have to be a watch dog when Mara is playing with her legos (yes the BIG ones, not the tiny ones) because he likes to eat those.

Laugh all you want...

I'll admit it--I'm addicted to stupid reality TV shows.  One of those was The Little Chocolatiers on TLC.  Well, since they are located in Salt Lake I talked Sean into taking us all there to see/eat yummy chocolate!  I'm glad we did because it was delicious!  They also have ice cream so we got a sundae.  Oh my delicious..seriously.  It was real caramel and they best fudge ever.  SOOOO good.  Anyways, it was kind of a silly trip, but we had fun!  Somehow I didn't get a photo of Logan while we were there.  I feel bad because he's just so calm and relaxed that we sometimes forget he's there!  Not really, but you get the idea.  I did snap a few before we left our house though.  Mara thought the ice cream was heaven. 

Brooke's Baby Shower

On Saturday Melissa and I threw Brooke a baby shower.  It was tons of fun!  Thanks to everyone who came.  It turned out great.  Just a few pictures of the food, the pregnant lady, and the after party.  

Towards the end of the shower I went to angle the umbrella at the food table so it would shade the food better.  Well, the wind caught it and clamped my finger in it.  I couldn't pull it out, so I finally realized I could push the button and have it release...OUCH!  But I didn't swear or cry so I was pretty proud of myself.  It did swell up super huge though!  It also bruised pretty good too.

A little while after that Melissa sliced her finger on a dish she shattered!  The dish happened to be one we purchased for Brandon's first wedding...so we kept teasing her that she did it on purpose. :)  I took her to the instacare and everything worked out.  But it's a pretty funny story!

Anyways, we are SUPER EXCITED to meet little miss Lizzie!  She'll be arriving June 18th via scheduled induction.  Aren't us Miller girls lucky?  We get to see our babies at least two weeks early!  I say lucky because I'm working on being more positive...

Also-does anyone have any weight loss suggestions for me?  I'm trying to lose weight but haven't been very lucky...Pleas help!!

Happy Birthday Trevor!

It was Trevor's Birthday on Sunday and lucky for us he got a camera that he was dying to use!  We offered our cute subjects for him to work with. :)  Mara just loves her cousins.  Too bad Kayden was sick!  She did get to have a blast with Maddux though!  Don't they look a lot alike?  It's adorable.  Anyways, Dylan and Logan got to play together too.  Oh my goodness, isn't Dylan BEYOND cute?  Those big bright blue eyes make me MELT!!!  Anyways, thanks for taking all this awesome pictures Trevor!  We sure love ya!
