That time of the year

Its that time of year again, baseball season. Spring training is up in full swing, I have yet to go to game but planning next week. Tim has gone with the boys.

Blake has officially started practicing for the 2014 Little League season. As always there's excitement and craziness.

Chase just ended his first season of playing tball with NYS. That was funny the first two games then it was just frustrating. 

Oh Brittain is still sweet as ever. Getting around. She doesnt officially crawl but she tuns and pushes off basically she gets what she wants.

Make up

So a few weeks ago a friend did my makeup here is what it looked like. What do you think? Little different huh?

Brittain's 1st Victoria Secret pink pants

Must of you know I LOVE Victoria Secret. My buddy made these for Brittain so cute.

Things are changing.

Little changes are happening in the Miller household the last few days.

Blake has now learned to tie his shoes! We learned in 3 steps.

Chase is turning the corner for potty training. (I think) As most of you know Chase started on his own Father's Day and since  has had many set backs. When Brittains was born, then the seat pinched his leg (refused to sit on seat) and recently found him and Blake watching you tube where the lego guy peed himself and it was funny so naturally Chase did the same. I since have made you tube officially not allowed in the Miller house.
(There's more then just this incidence) Well the last few days Chase has made it to the toilet, and for both 1 and 2. I'm hoping this is the end of our potty training journey.

Brittain is rolling and scooting across the floor. She is also beginning solids.  So far she's eaten rice, oatmeal and bananas.

My babies... and their little milestones. :)

Tonights been a little rough

Tonight was a little rough. Blake started to fall asleep but then sat up crying. They did a "lockdown drill". Although I am happy about them practicing what they need to do I can't help but feel a little mad. My mom insticts are this

Why should my son even have to practice this? This crazy world that's why.

Why didn't the school announce "hey we will practice lockdown " at a unannounced time? This way  I can talk to Blake and explain. (Those of you who know Blake understand how his mind works knows he will put the reasons together on his own and stress)

Why do have they practice "lockdown" last month too?

Why is his f@#$ ing teacher sitting at her desk on computer instead of where these little first graders are? (During lockdown drill)

My thoughts right now I HATE THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!

Look at him peacefully sleeping now.... him and his brother so cute. Chase ask for Blake first thing in morning. Blake ask if Chase can go wherever he goes. Stay best buds you two, Love eachother, be there for eachother.

Me and baby chase!

Happy New Year!

2013 turned into an amzing year for the Millers. We added sweet Brottain to the family, got our backyard completed again,  began wood working,  updated our home, and spent time with friends and family.

For new years eve we actually went to a friends home to bring in 2014. We played games, ate great food, and spent time with amazing friends. Here are a couple of pictures.

Before you ask I have no resolutions. I have goals for the year that are set way before new years eve. Here are some.

Need a new job for me
Start Masters at University of Arizona
Teach Chase ABC's
Teach Chase count
Blake to tie shoes
Blake ride his bike without training wheels
Brittain's first birthday
Brittain to sit, crawl and walk :(
Not take any of time I have with my beautiful family for granted

The last one seems obvious but I think I could do better. Lately at work I have had some serious,  sad and sudden change for my patients. These changes came from healthy patients and without any warning life changed for good. Love your family and your kids like this could be the last moment with them, because it could be.
