Addisyn lost a tooth!

Addisyn came up to me last Wed. night and said that she had a loose tooth. I was in the middle of fixing dinner. I brushed her aside saying that I didn't think so. She went on and on, so finally I gave it a wiggle. The tooth wasn't just loose, it was ready to fall out. I just gave it a small yank and there it was! She didn't even cry. She was so excited to loose a tooth. The tooth fairy showed up on time and Addisyn spent her dollar at church!

Christmas at Church

The WHOLE Max & Bobbie Miller family. First of all, it is quite rare for all of us to be in one place at one time. How exciting it must be for Gma and Gpa to know that we were all at the Christian Church rejoicing the birth of Jesus Christ. For those of you reading this who don't know us, Gma and Gpa have 3 children - 2 boys and a girl. Ryan's dad is the eldest son. He has 2 kids - 6 grandkids ( not counting his wife Kaye's children and their other 7 grandkids). Chris, Ryan's uncle has 7 children and 2 grandsons and a granddaughter on the way. Ryan's Aunt Lisa has two daughters. I was reading one of the granddaughters comments on this picure. It was something like this...Imagine what this picture will look like when all of the grandchildren are married. Only 4 of Max and Bobbie's grandkids are married - only 3 with children. I wonder if Ryan and I's family will resemble this mass amount of people some day!!!

Name Request!!!!

Dear Auntie:

I informed Ryan of your request. I told him that you wanted to know what he said. So, this is his response.... " If we use that name, where does that put us in the will!" I thought you would get a kick out of that!!! We both agree that it can be done!

LOVE,
YOUR FAVORITE NIECE

Baby Miller #5

Sometimes God brings you a surprise when you least expect it! Ryan and I are expecting baby #5 due around the end of July!!! Who in their right mind has a baby in southern illinois at the end of July!!!! Anyway, I bought this gender prediction test off the internet. Yes, probably a waste of money - we'll see. So, I took the test this morning and it is predicting that we are having a boy! Well - a few of us are happy and a few of us are a little disappointed. I will be happy with whatever God decides that we need. I am just hoping for a HEALTHY baby. However, I was just assuming that it would be another sweet little girl. Addisyn was crushed. She is wanting another baby sister. The company promotes that their results are 90% accurate. I told Addisyn that there is still plenty of room for hope!!!!

I could barely drag my head off the pillow, but I didn't want to disappoint my loving husband. He had his heart set on eating at Red Lobster! We ended up taking a van load of stuff back to Benton and did manage to eat at Red Lobster. I was home in bed - asleep by the time Ryan got everything carried in! Whoops!

Getting Ready to Celebrate our 11th Anniversary!

Christmas Morning

Santa's helper - mine

Addisyn & Baby Alive
I was so excited that Addisyn asked Santa for Baby Alive. This is the gift that I wanted as a child. My mom never caved! So, I'm enjoying feeding and changing Baby Alive! I guess some things are still exciting 20 something years later!!!!

Ryan - He reminded me so much of my own father. He could barely keep his eyes open from his spot on the couch! The girls didn't even get up until 7:30! I guess when you are up until 2:00 am, that is still early!!!
