See Johnny, I told you it's a real song...

Thank you, Gayla Peevey!

Thanksgiving in Hawaii

Johnny and I were apart for Thanksgiving this year, he has been working in Hawaii for the last 2 1/2 weeks to earn some extra money and gets home tomorrow. HALLELUJAH! This single parenting business is not for me, it is SO hard. Johnny does a lot around the house and with the kids. He is the "one" to get the kids up in the morning, get them dressed and off the preschool and babysitters...needless to say it hasn't been pretty without him here and me trying to do everything on my own, AND get to work on time. It's healthy being apart sometimes, helps you appreciate eachother a little more, but by this point...we are all a mess and can't wait for him to get home tomorrow! After all is said and done I AM still glad he was able to go to Hawaii to make some extra money and hang with his BFF CJ. I didn't get any pictures of our Thanksgiving here in Utah (probably due to my own and my families appearance) but here is a pic from Johnny's thanksgiving across the ocean.

Hope you had a GREAT Thanksgiving!

SNOW...

...LOTS of it!!

I stole these pics from my friend Tiff. It snowed all night last night and measured over 28 inches! Finally Utah has some snow to talk about :) It's even LEANING in the second picture, incredible! That's a lot of snow for one night!

Johnny is out of town so my Dad came over yesterday to shovel my driveway and brush off the cars (isn't he the BEST?) This morning there was another 5 or 6 inches on the driveway! I may not be like most people...but I LOVE the snow. I say- if it's going to snow at all, it might as well be phenomenal! Today the sun is shining and everything is just GORGEOUS. Time for sledding and snow men! Happy Day!

The weather outside is frightful...

The tree is up, the christmas music is officially playing...a lot, and it's starting to feel cozy here! We had our first big snow storm yesterday and with over a foot of snow over night, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

But, inside is mmm...
I am so grateful for our slightly messy, warm and cozy home- and the people that fill it up!

Olivia was REALLY excited to decorate the tree this year, she got started right away and narrated the whole thing.
I especially like her idea of great ornament placement! She is the BEST! You may have noticed, and YES we are still rockin' the "dumpster tree" Click HERE to read.

Haha poor Kiya...so humiliating, at least she got some leftover steak.

How cute are they?

and this one? I am lucky to have a cuddler this time around. Ronin loves to snuggle with anyone, he is such a sweet boy!

Torin was over for a playday the other day and cousins Ashlyn and Camden came to say HI, it was quite the party! Kids n' babies everywhere!

Cute Torin playin' the keyboard...baby style.

Johnny "the baby entertainer"

friend, Ashlyn and Olivia all ready for dance class.

The Fellas Camden, Torin and Ronin ready for anything.
Aren't they awesome? They are like little people... chilling like adults...

DEBRA had her BABY!!

Little Allison Wing was born Nov. 12th, so tiny and soo perfect!

Ronin and I made a visit to her in the Hospital and we both fell IN LOVE!

Congratulations Deb and Ryan! We can't wait to have many, many play dates!

Our life with Mr. Ronin

A short 4 days after Olivia's birthday sweet little Ronin man arrived! A few weeks early and a bit of a surprise but I wouldn't put him back for anything!

Olivia is adjusting well and it's true about the second baby being easier. Along with Ronin being so sweet and laid back, he just fit into the swing of things easier than even imagined!

Most of all, I am LOVING being home with my family, and NOT at work!

LIFE is GOOD!

Happy Birthday Olivia #3

Olivia's birthday was on May 1st, she is SO happy to be three! She is scary smart and loves her friends...almost as much as Johnny loves his. She is definatley a Miller and loves to party! Thanks everyone who could come and play, Olivia will never forget her #3 birthday!

Oh, and did I mention...Livi has the BEST Grandpa in the world?!

He's HERE!

Ronin J Miller

5 lbs 10 oz and 18.9 inches

He came a few weeks early but is happy and healthy and so far only squeeks. We are SO glad he's finally here!

We are all in love with our little nugget! Olivia thinks he is the coolest thing ever!

Family nap time.

I have SO much to post about...Easter, Liv's birthday, house projects, baby shower...as soon as I can stop staring at Ronin I will post again!

He is SO sweet, we just LOVE him so so much!

Angel and AJ's little dude!

Di and some others who read my blog...Angel and AJ had their baby!!!

Torin Maximus Quirantes joined the party on Monday, April 26th! He was 8 lbs and 20.5 inches long at birth. He's got the sweetest little face and the perfect skin, I don't see how he could be more perfect!

Congratulations Guys!

I'm excited that our Baby Miller will have a little buddy so close in age!
