For Mom!

We spent the day and Mom and Dad Miller's on Saturday just hanging out!! The kid's (young and old)had fun! I tried to get some good pictures of the Puppies (and old fart's)playing but they move to fast! Anyway, I know Mom is missing the family so here are some pics! My fave is the one of Dylan & Miranda! Trouble with a capitol T!!

Baby Merlin!

Please allow me to introduce you to baby Merlin. I have had several harassing phone call's this evening pointing out that I havent posted pictures yet. So here you go!!!!

Grandpa and Jims hunting trip

Here are some pic's from Grandpa and Jim's hunting trip. They stayed in Grandpa's best friends cabin. Jim scored his 2nd buck in 2 weeks. Jim said it was like staying on the set of Grumpy old Men. Hahahaha!!! A good time was had by all!

Bobs Cabin:









Grandpa and Bob! Old friends!



Jim's kill!

Pic's from Halloween and Sissy's 1st game

Here's some pic's from Halloween. My camera is having issues!! Think it's time for a new one. The kid's were all so cute!! And they all had fun. Except Connor who refused to leave the house once he got a good look at Pierce.

Carving Pumpkins

Cousins & Friends

Little Devil

Sis the hula ghoul

I just tried uploading the one shot I got of the group and it was horribly blurry!! So you'll have to go to Denny's site to check out the group.

Celeste had her first game tonight. The girls did great!! They only had 4 day's practice. They learned alot so quick!! Dylan had a great time at the game to! I don't know what he enjoyed more...... Watching the game or getting carted around on Sissy's hip being fawned over by all the cheerleaders!! I think there were alot of jealous b-ball players!

Go Cat's Go!!!

Congrats Tracy & Jerry!!!!

Tracy and Jerry finally tied the knot last night! Tracy was absolutely beautiful! She completely sparkled all night long! And Celeste???!!!! VA VA VA VOOM!! What happened to our little girl? Everyone had a great time. It was really nice for Jim to see Tracy's family. He hasn't seen allot of them in almost 12 years. Dylan danced ALL NIGHT LONG! My camera didn't take the best pictures but they'll give you an idea. I should mention that other than the food they did everything themselves. Bouquets to decorations. Great job Guy's!

The happy couple!

D & Sissy

Get a hair cut!!!


2 handsome men!


You may kiss your brother!

A beautiful Bride!


This pic shows how grown up C is!


My little party animal!

To all my Yoopers!

Check out this link! It's amazing! Could you imagine waking up and finding this in your front yard??!

Go Here!

Hey!!

So I completely checked out for the majority of the summer! Was not the best summer of my life that's for sure!! Work totally sucked butt!!! I was getting sick every morning before I had to go in! Great for weight loss not great for my mental stability! I am happy to report though that I am finally coming out of it!! I am working two day's per week and the atmosphere is much better!! Not only that but between my 2 day's per week, underemployment and my savings in daycare I am actually ahead by $7.00!!! Not bad!! I have had a couple of job interviews one I am really hoping for (secretly I kicked that interview's ass!) only problem is they pay $3.00 less than what I'm making now. It's double the miles but it has great benefits so we'll have to see. I am not as panicked as I was though! OK enough about that!!

What else has been going on lately? Hmmmm..... Let's see...... Not much! Celeste tried out for cheer leading tonight I hope she makes it!! She is sooooo smart but needs something to get her out from in front of the books and tv! She has been doing so great! I am so proud of her. She has big news other than cheer leading but I'm not allowed to post it until she talks to Sarah!

And of course our favorite little monster............... He has pretty much mastered potty training now! Yeah!! He's so damn cute!! It's the only thing that keeps me from strangling sometimes!! We had to take C to the Dr.'s on Tuesday for her sports physical, well low and behold she was due for a shot... Not good! She was so upset, all Dylan could do was rub her back and give her hugs. "Don't quwi sissy! It dont huwrt! Shots is no big deawl!" Then as were walking out of the Dr.'s office "Dis is my sissy.... She had to get a Shot!" To cute! He loves his big sissy!

Should go for now! Tornado sirens just started going off!! Maybe I'll attempt some pictures this weekend!!

OMG!!

OK..... Now that I got my blog to look the way I want, I'm seriously frustrated and want to chuck the whole computer into the closest high traffic road!!! And it's lunch time!! (and you thought I was kidding when I said gone crazy!)

Will..............

Post.............................

Later!!!!!!!!!!

Lean mean 13!!!

I stalled and stalled.... But it's over!! It was awesome but it's over!!! Now it's the long wait for number 14!! Can I just say I would love to be the peanut butter in a Ranger - Morelli sandwich! Woooo Hoooo!! Check out this site it's pretty cool. You can enter a contest to name # 14.

So new things you ask?? Celeste got off to Florida with Jen, Denny and Matt yesterday. They should be there by now! I am sooo jealous! They have 2 weeks down there!! They are going to a bunch of parks and stuff!! Lucky Dogs!!! And my big news.......... I have been informed by the powers that be, due to budget reasons, I will be reduced to 15 hours per week! Yeah! I'm not sure how to feel about it yet. I am part happy and part sad. I haven't been happy there for awhile but I kind of wanted to leave on my own terms. I guess I can look at this as motivation. Now I just have to decide what I want to be when I grow up!! If anyone has any suggestions let me know!!

Babies!!!

Look at my new babies!! One has decided to take up residency in our garage!! They actually are much smaller than they look in the pictures! Celeste said she got good pictures and a video of the bear when she was up north. Hope to post that this weekend!

Guess who's 3??!!!

We had a little gathering for Dylan on his birthday. He had fun but he's looking forward to his BIG party on Saturday!!

The Birthday Boy


waiting for presents!


Yeah Cake!!!!!

What is she sitting on?

Me & Da

Jim & Dad having a very serious conversation!

For some reason it looks like D hit me in the nose with his bat.

Hope everyone had a happy & safe 4th!

Call me the Happy Stalker!!

Dr. McDreamy, Dr. McSteamy and now the future Dr. McFoxy........ And moving back to Michigan will make the stalking so much easier!!!

I don't know if you read this, really who would read the blog of their stalker but if you do... Congrats!

Oh, and as a tip, when you do get here.... Keep your blinds closed tight!! Hahahaha!!

(relax, I'm just kidding!)

Webkinz

Thank you Sass!!!! I am officially a Webkinz addict! That's why I haven't done much posting. As soon as I touch the computer I'm sucked in! The next thing you know it's 11 pm, the dinner dishes are still in the sink and I can hardly keep my eye's open!!
I suppose the dishes will be there tomorrow.

The only thing I have managed to work on a little is my flower beds. If you remeber my post from last Memorial weekend my hubby turned a little yard work into an all summer project!! Well, it's turning out awesome!! I planted a bunch of plant's last fall and there all starting to come back!! I will have to see if I can find some before and after pictures. I have decided that once D goes to Kindergarten I am going to get a fun job in a green house or something! It's like therapy for me.

Ohwell, going to make this a quick one! I have tomorrow and Tuesday off of work.. Have to rest up tonight! Lot's of gardening to start tomorrow! If I don't get a chance to post again, have a happy and safe holiday!

Help!

I swear I'm in Hell!!! Who care's about their insurance when it's 80 degrees and beautiful out?? Nobody that's who!! So here I sit.... The phone isn't ringing no one is coming in (which isn't such a bad thing in these parts!) counting the minutes before I can get out of here! At least I get to leave a little early. Then it's off to spend an hour or so with 24 2-3 year old's. Yeah... I'm going to need beer by the time I get home, and lot's of it!

Sad, Sad News

It's with much sadness I announce the passing of "E". Who's "E" you ask? "E" was the name of our much beloved E Machine Laptop. She was a good computer and she will be greatly missed!

However, on the up side, after spending too much money guess what I get to do now??...
I get to roll a joint and walk around saying "Dude, I got a Dell!".


Disclaimer: Dad & Laurie (and any cops that may be looking over Laurie's shoulder if she's checking my blog at work) just kidding about the joint!!! Haha!

Dylan Goes Fishing!

Dylan spent Sunday afternoon ice fishing with his Daddy and Greg. Jim was so excited to take him! Dylan loved it! He wouldn't even let Jim touch the pole! Jim said when the fish popped through the ice Dylan gave him a very excited "HI!". They can't wait to go again!

Celestes' first concert and D bakes a cake

Celeste had her 1st band concert this week. All the kids did great! We were all surprised how good they sounded since they have only been playing since September! My Dad and Laurie came up to see the concert, since both of their birthday's are this month we decided to bake a cake! Notice Dylan's snow boot's? They really helped with the baking process!

The Workers Prayer

My Boss sent this to me.... I loved it so much I had to post it! Enjoy!!
