Bed Time

OK for all of you that want to know how bed time went last night, well I got in the bed with him and read I think 5 books and then told him it was time to turn the lights out and of course he said no. I told him that all little boys had to go night night and it was time for him to go night night. So yes I laid there with him and of course I fell asleep and woke up at 11:30 last night and stumbled to bed. I am hoping this will get better to night we will do the book thing again but I am going to try to read only 1 book and then leave and let him go to sleep by him self. I will let you know!

Christmas Shopping and The Book

Well if you don't know by now you will after you read this blog. I always start my Christmas shopping between July and August because Millers Birthday is the week before Christmas and I wont to enjoy ever minute of his birthday. Usually in July I am brain storming on the gifts on what to get and for who and how much money I will need. This defiantly helps if you are on a budget because you can buy a little at a time and not spend a chunk at one time I love doing it this way, and if you think about it most stores start putting there Christmas stuff out in July. During August I start by shopping for Millers teachers and the kids in Millers class at school and my Sunday school class. I start with the little things that add up during the holidays and then the big things. By September I am thinking about Christmas cards and I start seeing how many I may need. Well this year I went to get my book out and guess what there was no book. I have looked every ware I have cleaned out closets I have cleaned out dowers, cars, bags you name it I have looked and cleaned it out I have no clue ware it could be. So at lunch today I went out and bought another one. So far I have almost managed to refill it with names and addresses. I will keep up with this one a little better this time.

Pumpkins!

Its pumpkin time again and Yaya and Big George have a friend that lives right up the street from them that have pumpkins. They told Yaya to bring Miller up their and let him pick one or have pictures made with them. So after we got home last night I put Miller in some paints and we loaded up and went to check out the pumpkins. Once we got there they had already picked a pumpkin from the patch that had not gone bad yet so we just took a few pictures with that one. They also h ad these other little pumpkins that I had never heard of called egg pumpkins they are small pumpkins but look like eggs. You can do all kinds of crafts with them. So Yaya and I got a bag and started picking them sounds like I have my Sunday school activity already planed for Sunday.

Sleep!

Well I finally got a hole nights sleep since we have moved in to our big boy bed. We got on the coach about 8:45 and Miller fell asleep around 9:00 so I put him in his bed and he stayed there till this morning around 7:10 when I went in to get him up it was so nice. Tonight we will try getting in our bed and reading a book and then going to sleep let see who wins tonight Miller or I.

Nap Time and Bed Time

OK so if you have been keeping up with us you know that Miller has moved from a baby bed to a toddler bed, well lets just put it this way I NEED SLEEP! So the first night went well and the second night went well then he spent the night with my parents and so I guess the new wore off during his stay with them. So all weekend long we had a little problem getting him to lay down to go to sleep. Like Saturday he decided he wonted to get up at 5:30 and play and he never went back to sleep and then would not go down for a nap till 4:00 but I had to lay down with him, so we took a nap Saturday from 4:00 to 6:00 and then we didn't go to bed till 11:00 that night, so then Sunday he was back up at 6:30am. This is the child I could put in his BABY BED at 7:45 and he would go to sleep and not wake back up till 7:00 the next morning BOY have we changed since we have changed out the bed I think I wont the baby bed back. So Sunday after church we ate down in the fellow ship hall and Miller Slept for about 30 minutes but was up and ready to go after that and never lad back down till it was time for bed and then I had to lay down with him to get him to go to sleep and I fell asleep. This will be a long week I am praying it will get better.

Big Day Sunday

This Sunday Big George is going to be baptized at church. There are also several other people being baptized Sunday. Along with my best friend Mary-Virginia, we are so excited for them and after church we will be having something in the gym. I hope to have pictures monday.

The Weekend Is Hear

Miller and I are going to start are weekend off by eating dinner at GiGi and Bo's house. Nick is on nights this weekend so we try to plan not to be home during the day so Nick can sleep. But this weekend we may just have to stay at the house witch is fine since it is a 80% chance of rain, there is plenty for me to do like always. I can't wait to see what I find to clean out I will let you know.

Baby Bed

Well last night before church Nick and I changed Millers bed to a toddler bed how sad is that. I have been thinking about changing it for a while now and just could not do it, and Miller kept wanting to sleep in are bed. So I decided I just had to do it I came to the fact that I loved his baby bed and that was the reason for not wanting to change it. But it had to be done so I just did it. Miller was at yaya's and big Georges while Nick and I were doing this so he had no clue. When we got home from church I took him back there and let him see it he had the biggest smile on his face like he had just gotten a new toy it was the cutest think ever. He crawled in his bed and looked at Nick and I and said night night and Nick and I just laughed. He kept going back there and claiming in the bed I think that he like the fact that he could get out by him self. After we had a bath I told him it was night night time and he said no I told him he had to sleep in his new bed. So we went in there and he looked at me and said momma and pointed to the pillow, I asked him if he wonted me to lay down with him and he said yes. So I told him that I would lay down with him but only if he went to sleep, well that lasted about a minute and he was up again. So then I said get a book Miller and I will read you a story and then we have to go night night and he said OK. So we got a book and he looked at it he would not let me read it to him so after that he still would not lay down I was starting to wounder what have I done. So I told him that I was going to clean up the kitchen and I would be right back but he had to stay in his bed he said all right that is his new word all right every thing is all right. After i cleaned up I went back in there to check on him and he was sound asleep. Even though there are rials on the bed I was still afraid that he was going to fall off so I asked Nick do you think should put pillows on the floor just in case he falls off Nick looked at me and said why. I looked at him and said well I don't wont him to hurt him self, so he said well if you want to so I put just one pillow down for him but we did not use it. I guess we will see how tonight go's.

The Biggest Loser 2!

That's right last Tuesday night The Biggest Loser started up again and I was in heaven. Miller has swimming lessons on Tuesday nights so I recorded it so I would not miss anything. I love this show and look forward to Tuesday nights. Its amazing how much weight these people have already lost.

The McWane Center

This was a seat that you sat in and tried to pull your self up only using a rope. Miller looks like he was trying very hard but he really was mad at me because I was helping and he wonted to do it all by him self.

Miller was trying really hard to get this ball

Miller saw this BIG FISH and just had to clam in

Last Saturday mom and I decided to take Miller to the McWane Center for the day WOW is all I have to say. We arrived the around 11:15 and we were kinda concerned about what we were going to feed Miller considering he would be getting hungry soon. Little did we know that the McWane Center has a lunch room for all of there visitors, they have hamburgers, hot dogs, subway, smoothies and pizza hut and its all very healthy other than the pizza hut they are big on nutrition there. While we were in line to order one of the workers over heard us trying to decide what to get Miller because of his food allergies, she said it is our job hear to get him what he needs to eat we try are hardest to provide for those that have food allergies. So we ordered him something and we did not have to pay full price considering it was not a full meal. It was very nice considering it is very hard to find places that will help you out on food. After we ate we bought our tickets and headed in to the museum. It was amazing all the different things that Miller could do I new it was for all ages but I had no idea. He could do every thing it was really fun even though he did unplug one of the machines. After going to ALL 4 floors we headed back home around 4:30 and Miller fell asleep on the way home. We had a great time can't wait to go back.

We Went Riding

Last night when Miller and I got home Nick wonted us to go with him to the deer fields so I said that's fine as long as it doesn't take long. So we all got in the truck and got going down the road and the bottom fell out of the sky. I was like oh no, I had packed the camera so I could take pictures because it was Millers first trip to the deer field. So when we got there the rain had stopped and we all got out and on to the for wheeler. Miller had the best time every he loves to ride. Here is a picture of Miller in his riding gear.

Claudia's Birthday

It was Claudia's birthday this weekend and we had a big celebration. We decorated her cake and put lots of candles on it. The cake was so good and so was the ice cream. She also got a good bit of gifts. Happy Birthday Claudia's!

Oh and it was her and Donnie's 40th wedding anniversary also.

Our Trip To Mobile

This past weekend we took a road trip to Mobile and had a blast. We left Friday night and got there about 9. I just knew Miller would sleep the hole way but no we had about an hour left and he wonted out, he was screaming at the top of his lungs. So we pulled over so we all could stretch our legs and then we were back on the road again. Once we arrived in Mobile we were staying at the bay house so dad was giving us directions on how to get there but we got lost and had to turn around. Boy was I glade once we were there and so was miller and mom. We had the best time just relaxing all weekend doing nothing but hanging out out side by the water during the day. That Saturday night we watched Alabama Football what a Great game that was. The next morning I woke up to it lighting and thundering and of curse raining, but it was so pretty on the water. Miller slept till 9:30 that morning what a sleepy head he was. Even though we had Monday off we still came home Sunday just to give us an extra day to have to lay around and that was so nice. So we left Mobile around 3 and got home around 6. What a great weekend!

Boy What A Morning

Boy what a morning this has been. I got up and got ready and took Tipper out for a bathroom walk and she pooed all over her self so that meant I had to bathe her. So I got her in the bathroom and what dose she do but shakes and poo poo went every were OMG it was horrible. So I got her in the shower and cleaned up the bathroom and gave her a bath. After that I went to get Miller up and he had rubbed snot every ware on him and was coughing. So I cleaned him up and got him dressed packed his bag and lunch box. He is staying with Aunt cherry to day due to the flu out brake at school. Boy how to start off a morning.

Millers Gater

Last night we had swimming lessons and then we went out to eat with Gigi and Mallory at MR.G's, it was so yummy. When we got home last night Yaya and Big George were there waiting on us, Miller had a surprise waiting on him. It was Gater Tractor, boy did he love that. He jumped right in it as soon as Big George put him down. We will have to charge it so it will work better but for right now it will do. Miller kept putting Tipper in the back of it and was putting the tail gate up and Tipper would just sit back there and ride I think they both love it very much.

Miller Riding the Tractor

Yesterday when Miller and I got home Big George was bush hogging the front of are yard. Well Miller just had to get on that tractor, so Big George came over there and put him on and they went for a ride a very long ride, in fact Miller and I got home at 5:30 and Miller did not get off that thing till 7:30 he loves to ride on things like that. We finally had to tell him that the tractor was going night night and that we needed to go in and eat dinner and get our bath and go to bed. This is the only way we can get him off of anything is by telling him that it is going night night. We will see what happens tonight.
