Before We Move

This is going to be the last post that I post until we get to Kirksville. We will be packing up all little things tomorrow, which means bye bye to the computer. We want to thank everyone for all their help in this moving process, but most of all your friendship. That is what we will miss most. I will try and be better at posting now that we will be so far away so that everyone can still see us. You have no idea how much we will miss all of you thanks again keep in touch. We love you. The Millers :)

Happy 4th of July

For this 4Th we wanted to keep it simple because this is the last time we will see our family in a long time. So we just had a little BBQ

Brien and my Dad were in charge of the Grill

While I watched the kids in the pool

After dinner we did some poppers

and sparklers

We went out back and had some Popsicles and waited for the sun to go down

When it was dark the kids went and sat on the curb. We lite some fireworks and the kids loved it, they just sat there . I was so happy because for my kids to set anywhere longer the 10 sec. is a miracle. But then it happened, Brien lite of whistler. At first it was great it went off and the kids loved it then the whistleing came and I have never seen Ian run faster. I as about to take a pic of them with the firework going off, but instead I got this.

A nice blur shot of Ian. It was so funny. And for the rest of the firework show Ian watched from the safety of the garage. I hope everyone enjoyed the 4Th like we did.

New Car

For the longest time we have been a one car family and I hated it. So we went and bought a car. Some of you have wanted to see our new car, but because we don't live by you I will send this pic. It is a GMC Acadia, and I LOVE IT!!! Brien had me test drive the Suzuki's, Durango, Journey, Pilot the list could go on. But this was the car I wanted and when he drove it he understood why I liked so much. We will be breaking it in when we drive it to Kirksville at the end of July.

Just wanted to give you an update. Ian is off the Binky, YA!! The first two night were NOT GOOD, and by day four things were pretty much back to normal. As for us we only have five weeks left until we move, time is going by so fast. But I can't wait to get things started. We will be having a get together before we move, so if you can keep the 12 of July open for a lunch in. And Avery wants to have a birthday party will all her friends too, so we will just do it all on the 12. Other then that things are the same, we hope all is well with everyone and hope to see you soon!

Wish me Luck

I'm going to need a lot of luck these next couple of day, we are getting rid of the binky! He dose fine during the day, but at night or nap time watch out. We went to the Doctors yesterday and he told us we need to get rid of it so the gap will close and not get worse. I knew all of this, but it is so nice when they are screaming just to put it in. So we have gotten rid of them and hope he will forget about it fast.

The Lizard

Last night the kids were playing out side when Avery found a lizard.

They were so in wounder by it. The poor thing was so scared when I saw it I thought is was dead because it was so still. But when the kids touched its tail it moved.

They chased it off the porch, to the grass and into some bushes. They were trying so hard to get it to come out. Ian was trying to feed it leaves and Avery sang Twinkle Twinkle little Star to get him to come out. Final I told them we had to go in side so he could go back to his family. I hope it didn't die of a heart attack.

Salt Lake

This weekend we went up to Salt Lake to see some family and friends before we head out to Kirksville. We had so much fun seeing everyone. We saw Brien's brother Rich and his family and had fun playing with the water guns and Avery really enjoyed playing in the mud. We went and feed some horse that were down the street, the kids loved it.

Ian wanted to hop over the gate to get a closer look, but when he was feeding them I think he thought he was going to lose a hand, because he would feed them again. Avery loved it ( she loves pony's ) the little horse didn't scare her, but she was more hesitant around the big ones.

After Rich's we went and saw my friend Shahada and her family. She use to live next door and we were always together. It was fun to see Avery and Jacob play so well together and if made me wish she still lived next door.

Jacob,Emily,Ian and Avery on the swing

We also saw some friends Brien had growing up. Jess helped put together a BBQ at the park. It was good to see everyone and there family's and just get caught up on life. Thanks everyone that came out is was good to see you!

We also spent time with Brien's brother Garron and his family but I didn't take any pics while we were with them. And now I wish I had. We had a BBQ with Garrons family, his sister Christen and her family from AZ and his brother John and daughter. We really enjoyed seeing everyone. Avery really liked her uncle John so much,it was hard to get her do anything, she just wanted to play.

The tip was wonderful and seeing just about everyone was great. Thanks to everyone help plan get together for us. And everyone that could make it. It was nice to see you again and we will miss you when we move. Thanks again!!
