More pictures of Emalie. She is a blessing in our lives!Emalie was laying on the bed, talking to the princesses on the wipes. Emalie's first tub bath. she loved it. Four weeks old, I was trying to get a cute picture of her, but she kept sticking her tongue out. She has been doing that since the day she was born. It's too cute.

Well, so much for keeping up with the blog....... It has been a very busy couple of months around here. With work we have switched to a new system, so I have been traingin, refreshing, and working to do my part during cutover. All in all, It is a very different system, but I think it will benefit jetblue inthe log run. We made it through Christmas, and Kaylie's birthday, cutover, me working and doing mandatory overtime, and Kaylies baptism, so now we can relax and concentrate on the baby. I am now 37 1/2 weeks along, so we should have a baby in the next 2 weeks. But in the mean time I will try to fill ou in onthe last few months. In decembe Jessie and Cammi had the opportunity to go to Hawaii with my parents, what a fun and interesting experience for them. They took lots of pictures, and had lotsof fresh fruit and shaved ice. Cammi still talks about the Rambutans and Mangoes, and the yummy shave ice. Now she wants to go to BYU hawaii and work at the PCC. We'll see since she has some weird attachment to mom. It would be fun for her though. Jessie really enjoyed being out in the sun and at the beach. She has always loved being inthe sun. She collected lots of small shells and put together little bags with the footprnts poem for her friends and family. It was a really genuine and sweet thing to do. Her least favorite thing about Hawaii... getting chased by the chickens and roosters.

Christmas was an adventure. We had a little fun at the girls expense this year. WE knew what the girls wanted and messed with their heads a little. For starters Kaylie, was so disappointed when she unwrapped her pakage of light bulbs, Sobbing she said " I don't even know how to change alight bulb!!!" A few presents later she opened her easy bake oven, which was the reason for the light bulbs, She was VERY happy from that point on, but it was a clasic reaction. Cammi was jealous because I got a new phone, not any phone, but the one that she wanted. We have it all on tape too! Jessie, really wanted new converse shoes, so she was very excited and a little confused when she opened one box and found one shoe. I told her maybe Santa felt she needed to work on a few things and maybe she would get the other one for her birthday. Needless to say, she didn't have to wait that long. By the end of themorning, everyone was happy with their "loot". until dad found a few forgotten packages at the back of the tree. Jessie and Cmmi tore into them only to find them wrapped a few times, and again with tape. It was so funny watching them try to get through all the layers to find their prizes, a new upgrade for their phones.

2 pregnant bellies December 2009

Kaylie turned 8 in January, unfortunately, at this point, (mid march) we are still trying to find time for her birthday party, I know, I am a bad mom, but like I said things have been crazy. We travled down to St George at the beginning of February for Dakens Baptism and Kellans baby blesisng. It was so nice to see them and to spend the weekend with family. Aly rode down with us, so we made it a girls road trip, since both me had to work. WE had a bunch of fun!

Fast forward to the beginning of March, Kaylie got Bapised. It was a very nice uneventful weekend with mom and dad able to come up and our family joining us for a fun day. Kaylie asked her dad to baptize and confirm her, which he did proudly. Nana made her baptism dress, and it fit her perfectly. She looked so happy in her beautiful white dress, and was glowing. Like I said now we can relax and get ready for the baby. I know this is a long post, so I will finish up by adding some pictures. We love you all, and hope that we can get better at posting to our blog.

Love, the Millers!

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!
I have been really bad about keeping up with my blog lately, so I am vowing to get better. It's a work in process. So here is hte latest. We are now almost 19 weeks along almost half way there. All is going well. We had our ultrasound last friday. The Dr let us move it up a week so we could do it while mom was here. Baby is growing very good, laying sideways. I am not showing where I should be showing. My lower abdomen is still normal but the baby is pushing all my insides up and out so I am puffy above the belt. It's kind of funny. Most of you have heard by now, but I'll share for those who don't. The lord saw fit to bless us with another girl. So come spring, Emalie Mae will be joining out family.
On a lesser scale of exciting, our family has been visited by the swine flu. I think Cammi and Kaylie had a touch of it last week, but it hit me full on, on Saturday. Out of nowhere. So beware, it hits out of nowhere. After 2 days of pain, and severe sore throat, I finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed, now I am on Tamiflu. Hopefully it stops here and doesn't hit anyone else.
I will try to get some new pictures up soon, but you know me. Hope everyone had a happy halloween.

It's me again, yes I am alive and kicking, although barely it feels. Life here never slows down. We have transitioned from allstars into fall ball, and soccer for Cammi. Steve's work schedule keeps hiim busy too. And to top it all off we found out we are pregnant back at the beginning of August. Yes it was a big surprize for us, one that we are still getting used to. We didn't tell anyone for a while. We have been dealing with all day sickness, and exhaustion. It is surreal and hasn't quite sunk in yet. I'll tel you if I'm excited when I am passed the sick part. The girls have put in an order for a little brother, I keep telling them I have no control over that, and it has already been decided. I am 12 weeks along now, so we should be able to find out sometime in the next 6 to 8weeks. Nice thing is that I am not showing yet, so people who don't know do not suspect anything. I figure there is only so long that we will be able to use the excuses we are using to play off why I am sick before people will figure it out. So tell me what are your guesses? Boy or Girl????

It's been a month or two since I last posted. I have been busy coaching softbal, watching softball, and watching soccer. Never a dull moment around here. We are all alive and kicking. Some more than others. Ahh the teenage years. Jessie and Cammi are out of school and Kaylie gets out this Friday. I will post pictures as soon as I upload them tomy computer. So until then, ALOHA!

OK OK OK! It's been a while since I last posted, but I can honestly say that winter up here,makes you hibernate! So that's what I did. I keep trying to wake up to spring but spring just wont cooperate! Here are some pics from our last family outing, down to Cedar City for Felicity's baby blessing.

Felicity Ann Hall

A nice pic of me and Jessie. It took a lot to get her to smile, and not be goofy. Just hanging out, still sleep deprived.

Cammi always seems to have a smile on her face. She is very mellow, and easy going. This pic really shows her personality.

Cammi my little goober!
Kaylie looking cute as always! I love her big Blue eyes.

I had to put this pic in. my two cute little nephews from down south. Boy do I come from a good looking family!

We went to the circus when we got back from the blessing. Here is a shot of both girls looking a little tired but pretty nice at the same time.

Just a cute pic of me and Will. He is so photogenic. I love his eyes!

Their view of the game.

Nice seats. Thanks John.

'Nuff said!!

GO UTES! THAT'S HOW WE ROLL, TIDE!

Wow what an awesome game. Stephen and the guys had a blast and they were even shown on national tv for abour 3 seconds. In my last post I mentioned the adventure we had getting to New Orleans, well... That was nothing compared to the adventure getting home. We have to change status 4 hours before our flight time, so we had to do that at 2:10 am. So instead of getting some sleep we just stayed up and got changed over. We then packed up and left for the airport. So with no sleep we boarded our flight to New York, I was asleep before we finished taxiying to take off. and slept until we started our descent into New York. We had to stay in the airport until the checkin for the next lfight even though we knew we weren't going to get on. Once we did that we had to roll over to the next flight. That's when we were going to go into the city and have some fun, BUT... The agent that moved us over put us on the wrong flight, so we had to fix that, then the sequence got all mixed up, sequence in huge because it determines the order that you get on the plane and get your seat. Once all that was finished, we didn't have enough time to get into the city. so we just hung out in the airport. THEN... our flight was delayed an hour and a half. So after hanging in the new JetBlue terminal 5 for more than 12 hours, we finally boarded our flight, had a 30 min taxi time, and finally arrived in Salt Lake approx 2am. Was it worth it?? Yes, since Utah won, it was totally worth it! I have tons of pictures to add not too. Enjoy our little bit of the French Quarter, New Orleans!

The French Quarter has some incredible history and architecture.

During the day Bourbon street is quite nice. I wouldn't venture out after dark though. We went the night before, and it was sin central!

SUGAR BOWL OR BUST!!!

We have some friends who are die hard Utah fans. So when they found out Utah was going to the Sugar bowl they invited Steve and Ben to come along with them. Our adventure... and I do not use the term lightly, began on New years eve. we had to list on the night fight so we could roll over to teh flight the next morning. We ended up flying out of SLC to Las Vegas, then to JFK, then to New Orleans. Needless to say it was a LONG day! We left slc at 9:10am and got into New Orleans at 10:30pm, SO far the UTES are winning, soon begins the new adventure of getting home.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!

FESTIVAL OF TREES

Every year there is a huge fundraiser for Primary Childrens hospital. It's called hte Festival of Trees, the first week of December. It is amazing! people and organizations donate decorated trees of all sizes, wreaths, gingerbread houses, and decorations, then they are auctioned off with all proceeds going to the hospital. Aly invited me to go the other day, and it taked almost 2 hours to go through everything. It is a huge exposition center, think convention center large scale, and it is filled from end to end with Christmas! We got a few pics of the trees that we really enjoyed, hope you like them too. There was an amazing blown glass tree with lights inside programed to music, with blown glass flower ornaments. A wooden tree with small cue balls rolling around it, I can't remember what the technical name is for it, and of course a JetBlue decorated tree.

Yea!!!! Tomorrow is the day. WE have our tickets, all we need is a nap and a bucket of popcorn!! Can't wait to go out with my friends in our jammies and watch what is sure to be the big movie of the holiday season!!!!!!!

7 THINGS

Melissa tagged me so here goes.
7 random things about me.

1. I love to watch Baseball. I bleed Dodger Blue. I have watched the dodgers since I was a little girl, first at grandmas house then with my mom. When I was little I wanted to be the first woman to play for the Dodgers. Obviously that didn't work out, but I still play softball. I watch football with Stephen but I can't follow basketball.

2. I have two jobs. I am a mortgage loan officer, but I can't seem to get any loans, boo hoo. So I work part time for JetBlue airways, and I love it. I love the perks, but I hardly get to use them. So sad, I work for an airline but I never get to go anywhere. Been there a year and I've only been to burbank long beach and San Diego. sad sad sad!

3. I love comedy's. I love to laugh. Funny movies, and funny tv, I am there.

4. I am a big cryer with movies and tv. Something could be pointless, and somewhat sad, and I am blubbering. I was tearing up with the season premier of ER.

5. I love the Holidays!!!! I love the sounds, smells, and sights of Christmas. I look forward to baking for my friends, and spending time with family. Especially Tamale day. I love to decorate, and enjoy the reason for the season.

6. I get cold really easy. Ever since I lost all my weight I freeze. My hands, feet, nose, and top of my thighs. I have to bundle up come winter and don't unravel until May! I take a lot of HOT baths during the winter up here.

7. My biggest fear is losing my family. I worry about losing Jessie to outside forces, I can only hope and pray that I have taught her enough to be strong. I worry about Cammi being to nice and being taken advantage of. and I worry about Kaylie a young girl in a big girl body. I worry that they will have to go through some of the things I did when I was growing up, like the teenage years, mean people, and feeling like an outcast.

I tag Jill, Lisa, Cammie, and Brooke.

BUBBLE BUBBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE,

WITCHES BREW AND CAULDRONS BUBBLE

Haunted Hallows! Skeleton Bride!

Carving Pumpkins. eeeeuuuwww! Gross!

Getting ready for Halloween.

You can't really tell from the picture but we had cobwebs draped acrossed the entire entryway, with a smoking skull, and my skeleton bride. I am thoroughly enjoying getting into Halloween now!

Jessie went as a football player this year. She did pretty good too!

Cammi didn't decide until a few hours before trick or treating what she was going to be. So we opted to use her dress from Aly's wedding and go as the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio.

Kaylie has been telling me since last year that she wanted to be a Vampire. She never waivered. So nana made her this awesome vampire cape complete with bow tie and cumber bund. She was so excited to dress up and play the part.

I had to add this picture in! Barbara goes all out for Halloween. Last year she dressed up as Sally from Nightmare before Christmas, and it was awesome! It took me a few minuted before I even recognized her. This year she was classic!!! Quite literally! I love that she goes all out. She even made bloodshot eyeballs for our pre trick or treating party. We had so much fun!!!

October?!?!?!

Here I sit on the porch, it's two day until Halloween, and it's about 70*. Almost too hot, but wonderful! Too nice to be inside today. I say this because all too soon, (Next Monday) it's is supposed to get cold, rainy, and snowy in the mountains. uuuggghhh!!!!!

Well another week has ocme and gone. Cammi has two make up soccer games this saturday. at 9am and 1pm, no rest for the weary! Oh and some exciting news!!! Remember when I wrote how disappointed Jessie was that she didn't make allstars? Well out of hte blue last week, Kaylie's t-ball coach called me. She is co coaching an accelerated softball team and they wanted Jessie to come and try out. We are so excited. So she went to practice on Monday, after not having played since early June, and she actually did pretty good. She was right on with her hitting, but she needs a little work with fielding and throwing. The head coach asked me where I thought she was in comparison to where she should/could be. I thought she did pretty good considering it's been 4 months. He agrees, and wants her to come to another practice so they can look at her some more. She knows some of the girls on the team from softball and school, so that was nice. I told her that this was not me, this was another parent who had seen her play the season, and knows she is good, and requested that she come and try out. We are so excited for her to get this chance. So please keep her in your thoughts and prayers! She could really use it eight now. PS the coach commented that she was really good with her hitting!

So long Summer!

We were enjoying some of the few nice weather days before it really gets cold, so we were running the bikes out of gas. Well, it's all fun and games until someone looses an eye!! Poor Rich. His first ride on the little bike and he had to choose to either t bone the car or drop the bike. He chose the latter, and well the picture explains it all!!He ripped his pants and scuffed his arms a little bit, but he got right back on and tried it again. Jessie and Cammi were taking the little kids out for rides too on the Klugers 4 wheelers
