Christmas!

Oakley showing off her new pretty rings!

Going through her stocking!

We had a great Christmas this year! Dylan was able to be home even though it was his 2 weeks on! My parents and Jeremy and his family came up the night before and we all opened up our presents at my house Christmas morning. Then we cooked a big breakfast for everyone.
Oakley was so fun this year! When I went in her room to get her she was so excited to know that Santa came! We made her hold hands with her cousin Owen and walk out together to see all the presents under the tree. They did their stockings first then they got to open one present while we waited for the rest of the family. Kane fell asleep in the middle of everything. I guess this year just wasn't too exciting for him but he did love all of his presents after he woke up! Everyone got great gifts and it was nice to be with everyone and have a good time!

The Grandkids!

So my mom wanted to get grandkid pictures for her Christmas cards and man oh man was that a day! It was so hard to get all of them to pay attention and be happy but I guess we got some good ones haha!!

Kane's Blessing

November 20th we blessed Kane and since my sister Brittany's son was born about 2 weeks after Kane we blessed them on the same day. It was a Saturday and we went to Britt and Dave's church and had their bishop bless both of them then after we had a yummy dinner! It was a great night!

Finally an update!

I know its been a while and I've just been lazy but I guess I should update now. First off, THANKSGIVING!

We went up to Star Valley, Wyoming to my mom's aunt's house (which was amazing!!) and had the most amazing Thanksgiving I think i've ever had!The kids played pin the hat on the turkey and my mom's aunt (Teresa) cooked the entire meal and dessert! We spent the night up there then drove back home to be in time for Black Friday!!





Black Friday was hectic as usual but I got some great stuff!! Mostly Christmas presents for my family and a couple things for myself ;) I started up in Park City at the outlets with my mom and sisters and then went to Walmart with just my sisters. We got there a couple hours early to see where everything was then as soon as it was time we grabbed our things and headed to the front to go wait in line to check out. All in all it was way fun and i'll go back every year!

Halloween!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year! Oakley knew what was actually going on and it was so fun to see her face! I made her costume and she was grapes! She loved it! She never wanted to take it off. Dylan and I were warrior/cave people..lol We went trick or treating on Main Street in Bountiful then we went over to my brother's house and had pizza and hung out for a little bit. Then we went trunk or treating at a church by my brother's house then up around the Bountiful Temple and thats where we saw the headless horseman. It was awesome! After that we drove down to Dylan's brother's house in Tooele and spent the rest of the night there! It was a great Halloween and I can't wait til next year!

Our birthdays!

Since all of our birthdays are in October, I might as well put them all on one post. Dylan's was first on the 9th. I made him french toast for breakfast then later that night we went to dinner at Olive Garden with my brother and his family. Then he wanted to go play pool so Dylan, Jeremy, Matt and I went out and played. Then we just went back to my brother's house and watched a movie. It was a lot of fun to get out for a night!

Next it was my birthday on the 18th! It was the BIG 21! The day went by like it was any other day and I was kind of getting upset like Dylan had forgotten my birthday or he just didn't plan anything. I asked if we could go up to Jackson Hole and he just said "How about another day.." I was so mad!! Then we got a knock at my door and my whole family came up and surprised me!! I was so happy! They brought dinner and cake and ice cream! We all just hung out at my house and it was such a good surprise!

Oakley's birthday was on the 24th! I felt like an awful mom because her birthday wasn't too special or exciting. Dylan had to go on a job that morning and he accidently took my keys with him so we were stuck at home all day. Sooo we made tent and we made a "scary" gingerbread house! She loved it and I hope she knew it was her birthday. We got her an easel and a princess chair and the movie Enchanted and a BIG GIRL BED!! She was so excited to get her bed and she sleeps so good in it! She looks so little in it and it makes me kind of sad but I love it at the same time! I can't believe she is 2!

Utah State Fair 09

So before all this baby stuff happened we went to the state fair. It was a lot of fun! We got some pulled pork stuff for dinner (wasn't that great..) and Oakley got a HUGE $6 corn dog! Then we headed over to the animals and Oakley rode on a pony, which she didn't want to get off of. We walked around after that then decided to go see if there were any rides that she could go on and she picked out the little train ride. She was so excited and Dylan and I were kind of sad to see her go on it all by herself! She is getting so big! Where has the time gone?! We then went and got corn on the cob and it was soooo good! All in all it was a good day! Can't wait for next year!!

Pictures from the hospital!

-Kane Timothy Miller-

He's finally here! Kane came on September 19, 2009 at 3:13 am. Here's how things went:

-Early Friday morning I had a doctor appointment and he checked me, said I was a 3, stretched me to a 4 and stripped my membranes. Man that hurt!

-4:30 that afternoon I started having contractions and I was getting way excited but I didn't want to get my hopes up because I've had false labor so many dang times! I waited at my mom's until about 8:30 then decided to go to the hospital because I started bleeding a little bit. (Because of him stripping my membranes) When I got to the hospital they hooked me up to the monitor and checked me and I was at a 4+ then waited an hour and came in and said that today was my lucky day and Dr. Ward was going to break my water! Yippy!

-10:15 pm he came in and broke my water then I waited in my room for a little bit and decided I was bored so I got up and started walking and man oh man that did some work! I couldn't wait any longer and got my epidural. 30 minutes later the nurse checked me and said "Oh ya you're ready!" I thought he was going to fall out of me while I was waiting and the doctor finally walked in. I did a test push and then they got things ready and I pushed 3 times and at 3:13 am Kane was here! He practically slid out! But he weighed 5 lbs. 14 oz. and was 21 inches long. He had no complications for being so early (36 1/2 weeks) and I was able to hold him right after they cleaned him up. He's so tiny and perfect and we are so blessed to have him in our lives now! We love you Kane!

A new addition!

We officially have a pet! Haha we got a fish! Actually 2! Dylan's mom had gotten Oakley this little fish tank for Christmas and we finally put it together and went and picked out two little gold fish. We asked Oakley what she wanted to name them and she said "Scubbers" haha so we have Scubbers and Scubbie! Dylan and I are hoping they don't die on us and he's terrified that Oakley is going to be devistated if they do but I know she won't understand. So for now this is our first set of fish!

Fatherly Love!

Dylan is the best daddy I think a little girl could ask for. Dylan was gone for the first 9 months of Oakley's life and I think he has made up the time perfectly! She adores her daddy and I love watching them together! They are always laughing and playing and he is the first one to get her if she ever starts crying. Oakley totally has him wrapped around her little finger and he'll pretty much give her anything she wants haha! But I couldn't ask for a better husband and father to my kids. He's the best! I love you baby!
