23 weeks + 3 days!!!!

This baby is becoming very active. He is a night owl - just like his dad. I sure hope that changes. The other night it was 12:30 am and I couldn't sleep for all of the action going on. It was like somone was doing somersaults - over and over!!! I just don't think these pictures do justice to the bump!!!

Calgon - take me away!!!

Poor Lexi. Being 12 sure it rough. Especially when you are in a house with 4 crazy girls! This picture doesn't do justice to the real thing. I looked over and she has the pillow over her eyes. It was just like - I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! I totally know the feeling!

Baby Boyee's Room

We started getting to work on Baby Boyee ( as Braelyn says it)/No Name Miller's room this weekend. I think Ryan was very excited to paint a "non girly" color! Braelyn was still in love with her yellow room. Even though she hasn't slept in it for some time, it was still her yellow room. Poor Braelyn!!

Tim & Karen Visit

The girls and Noel worn out from their exciting Spring Break week.
The fam playing Clue DVD. Be sure to leave about 3 hours to complete the game!!!
Libby and Avery hanging out on the swing!
Tim, Karen & Libby brought Gma back this week. they spent a couple of days with us. We gave them a tour of Benton and the girls enjoyed playing games with them.

GPA'S VISIT 3/26

Grandpa made a quick trip thru Benton to drop off part of the girls' swing set. They were so excited to see him. It was a wonderful day outside, so we enjoyed watching the girls jump on the trampoline. Gpa also treated us out to La Fiesta!!! Thanks, Gpa!!!

Easter Misc. Pix

My cousin Karen's daughter Sophia. I thought this was just too cute!!!

Just a sampling of the Easter candy!! The sad thing is that there is a whole lot more. We've definitely put a dent in it this week. I think I need to have Ryan take it to school. Out of sight - out of mind!!!

After church on Easter we went to my cousin Lesley's house. There was a spread of food like you can't imagine. We all filled up before it was time for the big egg hunt. The girls got sooo much candy. We enjoyed getting to visit with everyone. It has been a long time since we've all been together.

Tayloran with her friends -Emily & Johnna. They have been buds since they were 3!!!

Each year we have attended the egg hunt on the square. It is so cold every year. I don't think there has been a year where the girls haven't been done up in their winter coats. I had on sandals ( thinking spring) and my toes were so numb by the time I stopped gabbing. It was great to see friends that we had not seen since we moved. Maybe next year it will be warmer!!! I'm not counting on it!

Gma and Gpa Easter Egg Hunt

"The Crew - minus 1"

We went to the church for our Easter egg hunt with Gma and Gpa. They made plans in advance to have this at the church due to the weather! The kids were running around like crazy. Thanks Gma and Gpa for the candy and money!

The Grill

Addisyn showing the "grill" in the top of her mouth.

Addisyn had a terrible habit of sucking her finger. It started out with her thumb. I broke her of this with the thumb guard. Then she started sucking on her index finger backwards. She was starting to look very buck toothed. So, we had the dentist install "the grill". This is what her uncle Jim called it. The name stuck. It actually reminded me of a potatoe masher. A wonderful orthodontist here in town was nice enough to remove it for us. Addisyn said that "the boy" who took it out was so nice and it didn't hurt at all. She keeps saying how "weird" it feels. It had been in there since last Feb.

We invited the Miller clan over to dye Easter eggs with us. I thought I was a little crazy for dying eggs with 6 kids, but all turned out well. They stayed at the table for an hour. They dipped and redipped their eggs. They each had a dozen to color. I can still remember dying eggs with my mom. That's definitely been a long time ago!

Happy St. Patricks Day

Addisyn made this wonderful St. Patricks Day decorative headband at preschool. What a cutie!
