It's Potty Time

Well about a week ago a decided to start potting training Lizzy, yes some might think I am crazy and you would be right. She is only 18 months but her sister was potty trained at 18 months in three days!! Lets just say she is not her sister but she is not doing that bad. The last day she seems to be getting the hang of it. We will see and I am sure she will get better with time. Today was a big day b/c she told the ladies at the gym day care when she needed to go pee. This is big b/c most of the time I am just taking her rather than her telling me. This is a picture of her after she had been in the bathroom with her dad and wanted him to all these bows in her hair. She is growing up so fast, I can't believe I have no kids in diapers anymore.

Here are a few pictures of the kids on Easter. This is Caty-lynne trying to look like a bunny. The others are on easter morning and at our easter egg hunt. We had a great time. Brian had to work the all weekend so the kids and I went to my parents house in Greensboro. Hope everyone had a great Easter.

Happy 6th Birthday Bri

Well today is Bri's b-day and I can't believe he is six years old. Some days it seems like yesterday he was born, boy does time fly by. So last night he had his party b/c Daddy has to work tonight. He had a great time and got tons of great gifts. The day started off with rain, which was a little upsetting since we planned on a outside party. By 1:oo the rain stopped and the sun came out and dried everything up. The kids played soccer in the back with his new soccer goal we gave him and basketball in the front. They had a blast. Happy Birthday Bri we love you.

The Kids

Just thought I would post a few pictures of the kids. We have been having great weather the last few weeks so there has been lots of play time outside. Lizzy has starting wearing pigtails and she looks so cute in them. Every time we go out someone stops to tell us how cute the pigtails look on her.

Just thought I would share this great picture of Brian playing with the kids in.
If you click on the picture below you will see a video of Bri and Lizzy. Enjoy

MY TWO GIRLS

This morning Caty-lynne wanted to wear her new dress from Canada and wanted Lizzy to wear hers to so they could match. So I first get Lizzy dressed and tell her how pretty she looks and she starts to dance and giggle and pet her dress. Then when she sees Caty-lynne with the same dress she went crazy laughing, dancing and giggling. She ran up to her and gave her a hug and started to pet her dress. It was so funny to see her get that excited about a dress and matching her sister. I then told them I wanted a picture and she ran into the room and just sat on the floor until I took a picture. After one picture she was done. I wanted one of them standing but it soon became a game for her. So I guess that first one will have to do. I guess I was pretty lucky since it came out pretty darn cute. I also thought I would throw in one of them running around laughing. Enjoy.

More of Canada

Our last day in Banff we went on the Gondola. Brian, Bri and Granddad hiked up to the top while the girls stayed behind to shop in the gift shop and get some hot chocolate. It was a very beautiful sight and very cold. I think it was something like -9 at the top.
We had a great trip to Canada and enjoyed the cold weather but it sure was nice to come home to weather in the 70's. We went from jackets and boots to flip flops and short sleeves.

CANADA

Well we had a great time in Canada. The kids had a blast playing in the snow. Caty-lynne whinned about being cold but she still enjoyed the snow. These are pictures of when we went up to Banff for a couple of days. We went on a sleigh ride and to the hot springs the first day. It was a blast, thanks Nana and Granddad.

What's Going On In the Miller House

Well not much has been going on around here since the last posting. Funny story about Bri and Caty-lynne. So CL had to go the the doctor for her 4yr old check up and the night before I told her and she got upset b/c she wanted to know if she was going to get shots. I knew she was but I told her I do not know b/c the last time she got a shot (flu) she cried for about 1 1/2 and made herself sick all over the kitchen floor. So I thought it would be best for all of us if she did not know until we got there. Anyway as she kept asking about shots Bri

looks at me and says do you think they give shots to make you not talk so much? I said i don't know and he said well can you find out and if they do have them give Caty-lynne one. I just started laughing and said you really think she needs it and he said oh yes.
Here is a picture of Bri the day he had his assembly and got his certificate for being a Terrfic Kid. It was cute they had the kids sing and then they had the students that were Terrfic Kids come up and get there certificates.

Then we have Lizzy, here she is with her leap frog alphabet song magnent. She loves to walk around the house playing it humming and dancing to it. She is growing up so fast. She reminds me so much of Bri as a little boy. Always wondering what they can get away with.
Well Brian is doing Nuerology this month so he is around alot more. We are enjoying seeing him everyday and not having to work on the weekends. Its like a normal job 8-5, it makes me see how nice it would be if he had a job with normal hours. Oh well as long as he likes what he is doing. Then there is me and I have nothing exciting to tell about me. Same thing everyday take bri to school, go to the gym, come home clean up while lizzy sleeps, pick up Bri.,make dinner and put kids to bed. Pretty boring, i bet everyone is jealous about my days wishing they had such excitement in there days. In 6 days we are going to Canada for a week. We are really looking forward to it, the kids are counting down the days until they get to go. They are excited to see snow, nana and granddad. Well we will let you know about our trip when we return.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CATY-LYNNE

Happy 4th Birthday Caty-lynne. She had a great day, it started with getting this cute new outfit from Ooma and Papa and then going to get a biscuit and a diet coke at Bojangles.


She then had her Birthday party
that afternoon. She had a Hello

Kitty party. She had a few friends over and had a great time. She got tons of new cool things. She has gotten into Polly Pockets and she got a few new things of that and a polly movie. She got some new cloths and some lip gloss and glitter makeup. Later Ooma took her to build a bear and she pick out a unicorn and named her sweetie. She had a blast.


Later in the day Papa and Daddy took her, Bri and Michael bowling. She had a great day and we ended it eating at a mexican resturant. Yum, Caty-lynne had her own bowl of cheese dip and licked it clean.

Happy birtday sweetie we love you!!!

THE LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP

This is what lizzy looks like most of the time. Walking around with a smile on her face, that is until her bossy big sister comes around.


Then she looks like this. I know Lizzy loves Caty-lynne but most of the time they start playing lizzy is enjoying it but after about five min. this is what is happening. Lizzy is screaming and pushing Caty-lynne away and Caty-lynne is not leaving her alone. When Lizzy is just walking through the house CL is right behind her pushing her where to walk so she goes where she wants her to go. I am looking forward to the day Lizzy can talk, b/c i think it will be pretty funny to hear what she has to say to Caty-lynne.


Caty-lynne I know you are only doing this b/c you love her so much. Also she has gotten to be a little bit jealous of Lizzy b/c she is no longer center of attention all the time. We love you Caty-lynne and one day lizzy will see you are only trying to be a good sister. I am sure they will be best of friend and enemies. At least that is how it was with me and keely. Now that we are older we have past the enemy part.

Finally Some Pictures

I finally got some pictures from Christmas so I thought I would share a few.

Christmas

Now that Christmas is long since over with I thought I would blog about it. We had a great Christmas. I got a new camera and with the great luck i have been having with camera's this one was not different. Yes it was broken so therefore I have no pictures to post. But we had a great Christmas and I will be getting a new camera hopefully tomorrow. We stayed here because Brian was working and my family came for a few days. The kids got everything they could hope for and more. Caty-lynne's favorite is her Barbie Jeep that she rides up and down our street. She can really fly and it even has a radio in it and a barbie cd that plays barbie music. So her and lizzy jam out and ride all over the place. Lizzy likes to just sit in it and dance to the music. Bri got a new Bike and he flies himself up and down the street on his bike.
Now that Christmas is over life is back to normal. Kids are back in school and its pretty boring around here. Tomorrow is a holiday so no school and Brian has a day off so we will have a fun time together as a family. That is something that is very rare these days.
Caty-lynne's Birthday is in two weeks is she is so excited. She can't stop talking (and I really mean that) about what kind of party she wants and what she wants for her presents. So that is about all that is going on here in NC. Speaking of NC Brian was very upset last night when they lost there basketball game, I mean what is up with that. Being ranked number one did not last very long for them this week. Oh well we still know that they are really the best.
