Time to retire the backpack!!

This poor ragged thing is the backpack that Lauren got from her Gma Penny & Gpa Steve for Kindergarten. It was so beautiful on her first day of school...

I guess bringing a cold lunch every day can be rough on a bag.

Good-Bye little pink backpack, Lauren will miss you!!

Congratulations to Beth, Bill & Ty!!

Congrats go out to our good friends Beth, Bill and Ty on the birth of your beautiful little baby girl!!

We miss you guys so much & can't wait to see you and meet your gorgeous little girl!!

Love - the Millers!!

Ethan's New Jammies!!

These are Ethan's "new" jammies!!







They came from Lauren's teacher, who Ethan lovingly calls "Vaghts".

Could they be any cuter???

Who is the Daisy??

One of my children is supposed to be getting ready to go to Girl Scouts...

Sunday Funnies

Here is a picture of Ethan in the car. We were bringing Lauren to school one day this week and this is the only way that he would leave the house...

Hanging out at Gmas

Here is a picture of Lauren & Ethan hanging out with daddy while I was packing up our stuff at Gma Moosh's house.

We were getting ready to go to church for Anakin's First Communion!!

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera battery in the charger at Gma's house, so I have no pictures of Anakin's special day!!

Wedding shoe shopping with Andrea

Today, Lauren & I went shoe shopping with Andrea!! We were trying to find shoes for Lauren for the wedding.

We didn't find what we were looking for but Lauren did find these!!

How'd she get so beautiful???

I love you pretty girl!!!

Too Cute Tuesday!!

This is what you get when your 2 year old boy wants to get himself dressed...



Way too cute.

Girl Scouts give back!!

Today, our Girl Scout troop gave back in our end of the year service project! Gander Mountain was nice enough to offer us their meeting room for our twice a month meetings for free all year long. We thanked them by doing a clean up around the outside of the building!!

The girls learned a valuable lesson about disposing their trash the correct way!!!

Way to go Troop 961!!

Easter Egg Hunt!!!

Hangin' at the Moosh's

Hanging out at Moosh's with all the grandkids!!!









Cheese!!

Ethans Girlfriend...

Hate to break it to you girls, but Ethan has a girlfriend...

What a nice Daddy!!

Today, for no reason at all, Brad brought home flowers for me & Lauren!!


He is the BEST guy ever!!!


Thanks Brad!!!

Little Man's new hat

Today, my little Ethan got a new hat. This may not sound like a news story to you, but just you take a look at him. He is kind of adorable, huh??

I actually think that he looks a lot like my Grandpa Corbin.


To Grandpa:

I miss you Grandpa!! I know you are smiling down on my kiddo's, and that they would have loved you so much!! I can sometimes picture you playing with them!! I have a feeling that you would see a lot of yourself in my little Ethan too!! You would call him "farmer" or something cute like that!!

Too Cute Tuesday!!

This video made me laugh so hard while I filmed it, and I am laughing even harder watching it back!! Andrea had Poker Face as a ringtone on her phone and Ethan took a liking to the song... Too Cute!!

Playdate!!

Today Ethan & I went to a friends house for a playdate!!

It was really fun! Unfortunately though, I didn't get any pictures of Ethan playing with Eli & Tate!! I did take these cute pictures of Ethan playing with the blocks in the boys' room!!

Sunday morning with Andrea & the snowball!!

We had a great night last night!! After the Bday Party, my best friend Andrea came up to Brainerd!

Lauren, Andrea & I went to the orchestra concert that Lauren won tickets to at school!! We had a really nice time!! (good thing, cause Brad would have hated it!!!)

So, it was pretty nice out and Brad opened the back door up. Ethan saw his opportunity, and pounced on it!!! He loves to throw snowballs!! He grabbed one and brought it in and tried to get us all with it!! Here, he is trying to get Lauren, but she hid behind Andrea!! Ahhhhh!!!!

Ethan turns the big 2!!

Today was the day!!

My little Ethan turned 2 today!!

We had his party here at our house this year, and we were so excited to have out family come up here to see us!!

Myself & Penny took tons of great pictures, this was such a small little peek at all the fun pictures that we have from this fun, fun day!!

We had 2 cakes, one for us & one for our little man! I made one mistake on Ethan's cake, I used food coloring gel (which I thought was red decorating gel) on the volcano... (for results, please see picture of Ethan in what was a white onesie)

Happy Birthday Ethan!!
I Love You!!!

Too Cool for school!!

Take a look here at the outfit that Lauren picked out for herself today!!

She looks like a school teacher!

She is becoming a real fashonista!!

Uh oh!! Tickle Bug!!

Tickle bug!!! Nuff Said...

Just try not to watch this over & over again!!
