Halloween

We had an INCREDIBLE halloween this year at the new house. We had been warned that our street was a big street for trick or treating, so Matt loaded up on the candy. I couldn't find my counter this year (probably still in a box), so I didn't count the kids like I usually do, but I hope to remember to get one for next year! The biggest hit was our smoke filled bubble machines. We placed two right at the front gate and adults and kids enjoyed watching them pop and release their smoke. Baikal and Rybolt had a good time going door to door, and Garvin helped me hand out treats. Aunt Courtney and Uncle Bill also joined in the fun. Matt requested that the photos of him in his spandex superhero costume not be displayed on the internet, so I left those out.

Day at the zoo with Rybolt and Garvin

Beach week part two

Beach week

This labor day, we were able to have a week at the beach. The kids had a great time!

Snack time!

Let's have some ice cream!


Rybolt likes the sprinkles.


Baikal likes to drink it like soup.


Garvin will pass.

First Day of School

Baikal started kindergarden in August. She is in Mrs. Howards class at Parkside Elementary. We are excited about her new adventure!

Angry Birds

To beat the heat, we made our own version of the popular computer game: angry birds.

Soccer in the park

Junaluska

We had a great time at Junaluska this year. One of the highlights was meeting my new nephew, Jack Abbott! He and Garvin will be playing together in no time. Maddie and Baikal enjoyed their princess dresses from Aunt Sam. Matt was able to come for a few days. Here he is with Rybolt at our favorite pancake house, Joey's.



Garvin's first time at Joey's. He wasn't much interested in the food, but liked the company.

Baikal the babysitter

Baikal is a great help and often asks if she can babysit Garvin. Here are some pictures of her recent babysitting job.

Because I do dat!

Rybolt has a catch phrase that he has been using for sometime. "Because I do dat!" Here he is at the playground with some quality mom time.

Boy time

BRING ON THE RUCKUS!!!

Baby, it is HOT outside!

Time to cool off in the sprinkler!

Garvin turns one!

One month that is! People have asked me what are some of the differences between Garvin and the other two Miller kids. Here are just a few. Garvin likes to be cozy. Give him a blanket and he is happy! He was born with black hair and blond eyebrows. He also loves to be held and will fall asleep instantly if held up on your shoulder for a few minutes. Of course, like my other Miller babies, he has this in common: he one of the cuteset babies in the world! What a blessing we have with all of our children!

Shhh! Garvin is sleeping!
