Our three Sons

Trick or Treat!

2009-11-01T18:24:00.000-08:00

Clay is the sweetest little lion around!
Christian hates getting his picture taken
My super Ninja, Prepared to protect.

She is so beautiful!
My wild man
Finishing daddy's job of handing out the candy
Clay was so over it but gave me one last smile before deciding he was ready for bed.

Halloween night we had a great time. We had the Jenkins and Laymans over for dinner and then the moms took the kids around the neighborhood to trick or treat while the guys handed out candy at the house. We all had a great time together, especially the kids!

2009-10-27T16:54:00.000-07:00

Over Fall break we took the boys and went to a cabin in Pigeon Forge with the Ward's. We had a great time and an awesome cabin. It was just a little too short.

Pumpkin Patch

2009-10-27T16:31:00.001-07:00

Sunday we had a great trip to Riceville's Pumpkin Patch with TMC couple group. We saw and petted animals which the boys loved & went on a hayride to pick some pumpkins. Christian loved the hay ride. We had a wonderful time.

2009-10-27T16:17:00.000-07:00

Clay was so cute a few weeks ago. I heard him through the monitor babbling so I went to get him and when I opened the door he was sitting up in his bed. When he saw me he smiled so big and started laughing. It was so cute. It was like he was so proud of what he did. I love mile stones but my little baby is growing too fast.

2009-06-11T12:58:00.000-07:00

We just got back from Disney and had a wonderful time. For those of you wondering how it was taking a 10 week old, it really was not bad. He slept most of the time. It was really nice staying at the Floridian because the monorail ran right through it so when Clay and Christian got tired and hot my mother and I went back to the room with them and Jeff stayed at the Park with Caleb. For the most part we tried to go the park in the mornings and evenings and spend the hot part of the day at the pool. We celebrated Caleb's birthday there because this was gift from his GiGi. The Day we got there they brought a big white choc mickey holding a Happy Birthday Caleb sign to the room it was on a big plate with cookies around it. Also, there was a birthday card signed by all the main Characters. He really thought that was cool. They knew a the restaurants that we were celebrating so they brought him a big cupcake and another card. After this trip I really believe that flying and staying at a Disney resort and doing the meal plan is the way to go with small kids. There is no way that we could have done all day trips to the park with little ones. It was also fun having some friends there at the same time. Caleb loved meeting up with Austin and riding rides. It was a fun trip but we were tired when we got back. If you asked me if I would do it again I would say absolutely! Thanks to my mother who took us on this wonderful trip.

A little help for a friend!

2009-04-29T14:00:00.000-07:00

I can only imagine this is one of the reasons Tiff isn't getting her blog updated. Napping with Clay! HA HA HA! She may kill me for this

What a cutie!

This cracks me up!

Christian is looking so much older!

Hey everyone it's Heather. I have hijacked Tiffany's blog and I am going to update you guys. Since it has been a while, I will let you know that Clayton Vance Miller arrived March 23rd. Ok, anyway, surely most of you know that by now. Tiff came over for a little while today and I took a few pics of her kiddos (Caleb was at school). I thought I would share them on her blog instead of mine since she never updates. Enjoy.

Only a few hours left!

2009-03-22T17:29:00.000-07:00

I am so excited that it is almost time for me to meet my little angel. After what seems like a long nine months it is almost over. I am going in at midnight tonight to be induced. I am hoping that Dr. White is right and it won't be a long process because its my third baby. I have never had to be induced before so I am a little anxious and more nervous then I have ever been. At this point I had already had the other boys and went into labor on my own so this is a little different for me. It's definitely not what I expected but all pregnancies are different and you really never know what to expect. All I know at this point is that I am so excited I can't stand it. I just can not wait to see and hold him for the first time. It will be such an awesome feeling that will be worth all the pain and waiting that I have gone through. Please keep us in your prayers. We will keep you posted.

Clay's Baby Shower

2009-03-05T10:05:00.000-08:00

Thanks to some wonderful friends and family I was given an awesome baby shower last weekend. I was thrilled at all the wonderful gifts that I received. Clay is set and has just about everything he will ever need and more. Jeff and I feel so blessed to have so many great people in our lives to share this special time with. We are excited and just a little nervous to be adding another addition to our family. The time for Clay to come is approaching us fast and we can not wait to see his face. I know it will be here before we know it.

All I want for Christmas!!

2008-12-23T15:42:00.001-08:00

Of course I had some things I wanted for Christmas and I gave Jeff my list but at this moment I would happily give them and anything else up for my little Christian. As of last night I could easily say that " All I want for Christmas is for Christian to be better!" Last night he started with 103.2 fever and couldn't get it below 102.4 with Motrin. I took him to the Doc today to find out that he had Strep and a sinus infection. I really think this is the sickest I have ever seen him. I was about ready to take him to the ER about an hour ago when his fever spiked back up to 103.7!!! That is just way to high for me. The doc told me to take him if it got to 104. I gave him some more Motrin and gave him a cool bath and checked 30 min. later and was relieved to see that it had dropped to 102.6. I never thought I would be happy to see that temp on a thermometer. We ask that all our friends and family keep our little guy in there prayers. I want him to feel better and have a great Christmas more then anything. It's funny how after you have children so many things change. Like now my happiness depends on my children. As long as they are happy and healthy that's all I need anymore. Well, it helps if Jeff is too!

My Sweet little Boy!

House Full of Gingerbread fun!

2008-12-18T15:10:00.000-08:00

Our Gingerbread House. We had a lot of messy fun making this. I enjoyed doing this with the boys.

Polar Express

2008-12-18T14:58:00.001-08:00

My parents treated us to a fun weekend in Bryson City and a ride on the Polar Express. The boys really enjoyed it although Christian was really tired by the end of the ride. We enjoyed hot chocolate and cookies. Santa visited all the kids and gave them each a bell.

Happy 100th Birthday my Great Papaw Privett!

2008-12-18T14:41:00.000-08:00

This is my kids Great Great Grandfather! I am very excited that my kids know there's. It's not very often people live to be 100 years old.

Getting back to normal

2008-11-20T05:47:00.003-08:00

I am excited to announce that things around my house are starting to get back to normal. Caleb went back to school today after being out all this week with pneumonia. He still has a cough but seems to be doing much better. After being released from bed rest yesterday I went and got Christian. I couldn't wait. Caleb was excited to see his brother. I am so happy to have both of my boys with me again. Christian is really clingy and doesn't want me out of his sight but I completely understand. I am restricted from doing some things but I can live with that as long as I have my family with me.

No rest for the Sick!

2008-11-17T11:43:00.000-08:00

As most of you know I was put on bed rest last Wednesday and on top of that I got a really bad cold. Christian had the croup last week and had to get a shot. Because of me being on bed rest he has been with my mother-in-law for several days. She said that he still has a cough but seems to be a little better. I wish I could say the same for Caleb. His cough started about 3 weeks ago and has just gotten worse. Last night was when I new something was wrong and he was really sick. He was coughing so hard he was throwing up and I could hear it in his chest. My mother and I took him to the Doc this morning to find out that I was right. Caleb has Pneumonia and a sinus infection. I guess I should have taken when I took Christian last week but he really didn't seem that bad. Since he was a baby the Docs have always told me that he was a happy sick kid because by the time he showed any signs of being sick it had already progressed to something worse. You would think I would learn. I am so sick of seeing Docs whether it's mine or the boy's. I really hope that this is coming to an end and the next time I see one its for a regular ob check only. Thank You for all the calls and prayers I have received they mean a lot. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Hope to see everyone again soon.

Bed Rest

2008-11-13T11:28:00.000-08:00

Well, I think most of you know by now but if you don't I am on bed rest. Thanks to two bleeding episodes this week, one on Monday that was not that bad and then again on Wednesday morning which was worse and really scared me. I immediately called the doc and they told me to come right in so my mother came and got me. We took Christian to my mother-in laws and headed to Galen. They did an ultrasound and little Clay looks like he is doing great. Dr. Kerley said that the ultrasound doesn't show everything they need to see about the placenta so since everything else looks OK he is wondering if that's the cause and they can't see it. He said that happens sometimes. I know that because that happened to my aunt. She bled for the first five months. Ultrasounds never showed anything but she kept having episodes so they finally put her on bed rest for the last 4 months and when she delivered they found a small tear in the placenta that the ultrasounds weren't showing. I go back next Wednesday and if I haven't bled anymore I think he will take me off and maybe I won't have any more. We are praying that the rest of this pregnancy will be normal. I really want to enjoy the holidays and all the activities with my family and have fun with my children. Jeff and I are suppose to go to Atlanta for a weekend to ourselves and to do some Christmas shopping. I really am looking forward to that trip. I hope we get to take it. Please Keep my family in your prayers. I haven't seen Christian in over 24 hours and I really miss him. I hope this week goes by fast. I give so much Thanks to our parents I don't know what I would do without them. They are helping so much and being so supportive. They are the best. I love them so much.

Trick or Treat!

2008-11-05T05:17:00.000-08:00

Halloween night we had some family and friends over to the house for some hot dogs and chili and then trick or treating. Our house was full. In the mix were the Ward's, Heathers mom and step dad, my brother and Becca, my mom and Doc, the Jenkins, our neighbors Jonathan, Heather and Tyler and of course the four of us. All together there were 20 of us. We had a great time. The kids loved trick or treating. Me and Katrina made it to the other side of the neighborhood and sent Jeff after the truck. When he got there to pick us up my mom decided that she was tired so Jeff and Eric stayed with the others while my mom and christian hopped in the truck and drove the four of us back to the house. Virginia and Rich (Heathers parents) were sweet enough to stay at the house and hand out candy to the trick or treaters. When everyone got back the kids decided they wanted to go on there wagon ride so Jeff hopped on the mower and took them for several rides. The kids absolutely loved it. What I think is funny is that Caleb did decide not to wear his original batman costume and stayed a sheriff so when Isabella got there I noticed that she was last years Minnie Mouse instead of this years Tinkerbell. When I asked Katrina about it she explained the same thing I went through that day and we both had the same thought, Who cares! Some fights aren't worth fighting but we sure could have saved some money. I really think that it's because we are both pregnant and tired and just really don't need any more stress. I'm sure it would have been different other wise.

Caleb's Halloween costume for School

2008-10-31T10:42:00.000-07:00

Today Caleb got to wear a costume to school for Halloween. He couldn't wear his Batman costume because it was too hard for him to get off to go the bathroom so he was a sheriff instead. He liked it so much that he decided that's what he wanted to be tonight instead of Batman so unless he changes his mind again he will be two different things this year. I wish I would have known that would have made him happy in the beginning. I could have saved money because he already had everything he needed for that costume. Oh well. He looked cute at the Fall festival as Batman and he'll be cute tonight as a sheriff.

Clay's has his own special things.

2008-10-30T13:19:00.000-07:00

Thanks to my mother Clay has really racked up the last few weeks. She bought him new bedding, two new diaper bags (one is still being monogrammed, I get it Friday),a bassinet, and a new Peg Perego Black and Red Twin stroller that I absolutely love. It is about half the weight and folds up smaller then my Graco Stroller. I like that it is a side by side and that one side is a little wider than the other so I can hook the infant seat to it. I should have it in a few weeks. I have also gone a little monogram crazy. I have had burp cloths,blankets,shoes, and outfits all done since the day we found out it was a boy. I think things always look a little cuter with a name or monogram. That's something that me and Claire have in common. Here is preview of some of his things.

I've been tagged!

2008-10-28T18:45:00.000-07:00

1. My favorite candy is Sour Patch kids. I really think that I could sit and eat them all day.
2. My favorite TV show is "House". I love medical shows and this one makes me laugh. Another reason why I like this one so much is because my husband likes it to so this is our show that we only watch together. It's about the only time we get to sit on the couch together without kids jumping all over us and something besides cartoon's being on the TV.
3. I am 27 years old and still have never spent a whole night in a house alone. I have always had someone with me. Yes, I guess you can call me a scaredy cat but I hate to be alone at night. If its an all night thing I want someone besides one of my children there.
4. My husband says I am obsessive compulsive and I guess he is right because if I think of something that needs to be done or I want to do, I want to get started on it right then, I don't like to procrastinate or wait (unless it's cleaning or doing laundry).I am already wanting to paint and finish the nursery and I still have 19 weeks to go.
5. I hate scary movies! I only want to see something that is going to make me laugh or at least not make me terrified to go to sleep. I have had crazy nightmares because of movies and I don't see the point in being scared if I don't have to be.
6. I love to scrapbook or do anything that's creative. I just wish I had more time to do it.
7. Future mother to 3 Boys! I am very excited to have 3 wonderful children but, nervous at the same time. I hope that I can give myself equally to each one of my children and give them everything they need. I also hope Christian doesn't ever have that middle child syndrome. I pray that I can be a wonderful mother even though I will really be out numbered now! I tag Lindsay and Cresta

Fall Festival

2008-10-28T18:14:00.000-07:00

We had a lot of fun at the Church fall festival. Caleb met a little boy that was also batman and they had fun playing together. Christian loved dancing to the drama music. We wish that Jeff could have been there with us but, I am glad to know that he will for now on. I think the boys looked so cute in there outfits, I am glad that they get to wear them one more time they were too cute to only wear once.

Trip to the Blairsville train museum

2008-10-28T18:00:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday me and the boys went with my mom and Doc to see the largest train layout in the country. It is over 3200 sq. feet. A man and his son worked on it for 13 years and it is amazing. Anybody that loves trains would really enjoy it.

Of Course we had to have a "C" name.

It's a Boy!

2008-10-15T07:05:00.000-07:00

Yes, can you believe it because I can't, there is another Miller boy in the making! We went yesterday so Myra could tell us what was in the future more blue or some pink. I know she was a little hesitant but she took a big breath and announced "Its another BOY guys". My reaction was to not really say anything and try to soak it in but as I was trying to stay strong I felt a stream of tears go down my cheek. Don't get me wrong I am very excited to have another healthy baby boy its just the realization that I will never get to experience all those fun and special mother daughter moments that I got to do and am still having with my mother. If you have a daughter you know what I am talking about. Girls night out, some one to go with you to the Mother's day banquets, trips to the salon, and all that other fun girl stuff. I know eventually I will stop thinking about it but that desire for a daughter will never fade. In the mean time I will enjoy the the two and soon to be three wonderful boys that God has blessed me with. I love them with all my heart and am so happy that God has given them to us. I will tell you they melt my heart when they just come and give you hugs, kisses and tell you they love you just out of the blue. As I am writing this the boys are both laughing and dancing to music. It puts a smile on my face. You know that's all you can really ask for, happy, healthy children. And with that I feel Blessed and can just say Thank You Lord for all you have done and given to me. So, in March we will happily welcome "Clayton Vance Miller" Clayton after my wonderful Grandfather who really has been more like my father to me then anything and Vance after Jeff's father. We look forward to meeting this little guy. I know he will be here before we know it.

Gender Ultrasound!

2008-10-13T09:43:00.000-07:00

Tuesday Jeff, Caleb, and I are going to Dalton to see Myra. She did my last two to tell me that Caleb and Christian were boys so I wanted her to do this one too. I think that she is as nervous as me and Jeff becuase she knows how much we want a girl. This time I am going to let her do her normal thing of making sure everything looks great and is developing right with the baby before she takes the BIG LOOK! We decided that it would be fun for her to tell Caleb and then him give us the big news. In that case when it comes time for that I am going to have to look away from Myra because I am pretty sure that her face will tell all!! Wish us luck! We look foward to sharing our big news with everyone. Stay Tuned only 19 hours to go.

Christian's 2nd Birthday!

2008-09-22T07:48:00.000-07:00

Christian and Aaron shared there second birthday together.We did a firetruck theme and it was so cute. Christian had a stomach virus earlier in the week and was still getting over it so He was not himself at all. He didn't play much and would not even touch his birthday cupcake. That made me a little sad but we had fun opening presents. He got really excited seeing all his new toys. My mom and Doc got him a kitchen for his birthday but didn't bring it to the Party because it was so big. You can still be all boy and still own a kitchen, I know Christian is.

Cooking with GiGi

2008-09-22T07:10:00.000-07:00

One of the many days I have been sick my mother came over to the house to make lunch for us. She made some awesome potato soup that I actually was able to hold down,corn bread and brownies. She let the boys help her cook and they loved it. They had such a great time with her. After lunch was cooked she helped them make edible play dough which they also enjoyed. Christian enjoyed eating his more the playing with it. The boys had such a great day with there GiGi.

Catching up!

2008-08-18T10:55:00.000-07:00

Well, I know it's been awhile since I posted but I have been very sick! Beth gave me some Zophran until I picked mine up from the pharmacy but sometimes it doesn't help at all. Any time I have had time to myself I have laid down to sleep instead of cleaning, washing clothes, and adding to my blog. All things I did before during the kids nap time. Now there nap time is my nap time too. I hope that I am not sick the whole time. I am praying that it will ease up when I hit my second trimester. I guess we will see. I have added some of the things that have been going on the past few weeks. I hope that I can keep you updated better but who knows right now sleep is important and speaking of sleep I think that's what I am going to do now.

Fishing with Daddy and Papa

2008-08-18T10:47:00.000-07:00

Jeff thought it would be fun for him and his dad to take Caleb fishing and of course Caleb thought that would be a great idea. Saturday night that's what they did and had a great time. Caleb was so proud that he caught 4 fish. He couldn't wait to tell me all about it and wanted me to see the pictures right away.

Caleb's Firsy Day of Kindergarten

2008-08-18T10:34:00.000-07:00

Caleb had his first day of kindergarten last week and he was so excited. He picked out his outfit and new shoes. He was so affraid he was going to be late he kept telling me to hurry up. We got there at 8:00 and he was the second kid to arrive. I was so proud of him. He acted like such a big boy.When it was time to say the pledge he stood up and said every word. Jeff warned me not to let the hormones take over and cry in front of Caleb and I didn't even though at one point I thought I could. When I picked him up he was excited and said that he loved it. I was so happy to hear that I knew that it could go either way with Caleb. I am now ready for the Phase-in days over and so is he. We are both ready for it to really begin.

Pigeon Forge Fun

2008-08-18T10:14:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago we invited the Ridges to Pigeon Forge with us and had a great time. Beth and I spent most of the time at the Resort relaxing by the pool and at the lazy river while we watched the guys play with the kids in the water. The kids had a blast riding in the boat under the waterfalls. It was a great time of relaxation, I just wish it could have lasted a little longer. I look foward to the next time.

Some Not so exciting news!

2008-07-30T13:43:00.000-07:00

Today Caleb went for his first real Dentist appointment. He was going to get his teeth cleaned and x-rays. He was really scared at and cried at first but ended up doing great. When he was finished they came and got me out of the waiting room so I could go see him. When I got back to see him Dr Barto came in and said he had good news and bad news. First the good news was his teeth looked great and he had no cavities. Now the bad news which I wasn't prepared for and started crying ( it doesn't help that my hormones are so messed up anyways). Caleb's x-rays showed that he has no permanent lower front two teeth so when he loses his baby teeth he will have to have a partial with fake teeth for a while and then have surgery to have teeth implants. I know that it could be worse and if this is the only bad thing that happens to him we are doing good but it still really upset me to think that my child will have to deal with this in about two years. I mean can you imagine your child having a mouth piece at the age of 7 years old. It will be like him having dentures until he has his surgery. We are really hoping that he keeps his baby teeth longer then normal since there is nothing there to push them out. Keep yours fingers crossed for us that he does. I told Jeff that it would be my child that would have this problem since it is so rare. Dr. Barto said he has only seen this about 5 times in his career.

Boy OH Boy BABY!

2008-07-25T15:19:00.000-07:00

We are excited to announce that a new addition will be arriving in our family in Spring 2009! On Tuesday's our moms group meets for lunch and this week it was Zaxby's. When I first walked in the smell immediately started making me nauseated to the point I almost just left. I tried ordering a salad but I couldn't eat it. By the end of the day I was feeling extremely tired and just not myself so I decided to take a pregnancy test. And there they were, the two pink lines we had been waiting to see. We were happy but couldn't get too excited until we found out everything was OK. Since then I have taken two more tests and been to the doctor. Dr. Kerley called and gave us confirmation that everything was OK and told us that my numbers were great and even higher then what a normal level should be at this point. He told me that I should not worry about anything because I have a strong and healthy pregnancy. Any woman who has miscarried before understands how nerve racking it can be until you have finally been to the doctor for the first time and got your confirmation that everything is OK. Once Dr. Kerley called we were thrilled about our new little baby. We are so excited and look forward to the 8 month journey we have ahead of us. Spring can't come soon enough. I am hoping that all the excitement of the holidays coming up, taking care of two boys, and Christians surgery in January will make it go by fast. I'm sure it will. And yes, I chose pink writing in hope that this is our Girl!

Just Call Me the Brave One!

2008-07-22T16:06:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we went to Heathers house for a play date and had a lot of fun swimming. While we were there I invited Austin and Thomas to spend the night after VBS. Of course they were very excited about it. Austin has spent the night many times but this was Thomas first sleepover at a friends house. Claire wasn't sure how he would do once it was time to go to bed so she said she would keep her phone by her bed and she would be happy to come and get him at any time. When I got to the church to pick-up Caleb, Austin, Thomas and our neighbors little boy Tyler they were excited and had plenty of energy, not sleepy like I had hoped for. As we were leaving Ryan Wood gave me a little grin and the token "Good Luck!" When we got home Jeff decided he wanted to be the COOL dad and let the boys play outside and in the Clubhouse after dark. I should not have made the mistake of going outside to join them because once I did Jeff lasted about 2 min. and then disappeared to the basement for the remaining of the evening. After that I let them play inside for just a little bit while I did a few things. About 10:30 it was finally off to bed with them. Thomas was awesome he was asleep in about 10 min. Caleb and Austin couldn't stop talking so it took them about 30 min. longer to finally fall asleep. I woke up this morning about 7:30 and got myself ready, fed the boys Kung Fu Panda waffles, had them get dressed for summer camp,made there lunches, got Christian ready, packed there bags to go home, got them buckled in the car with there favorite stuffed animals for camp and was backing out my driveway at 9:24 this morning. I realized on the way how early we were going to be but, I was OK with that. They were all the first ones to there class, it was kinda funny because that's the earliest we have ever arrived there we are usually a little late. If anyone was wondering, Yes I will do it again. They are great kids and have a lot of fun together. When I see how happy it makes Caleb to be with his friends it makes me think of all the fun times I spent with my friends and the great memories I made with them. I want Caleb to have the same memories with life long friends. It brings me Joy seeing him smile and laugh the way he does when he is with Thomas and Austin.

We made it through

2008-07-21T05:46:00.000-07:00

Well, I am glad to report that we are all feeling better. I thought that Jeff and Christian weren't going to get sick since we made it through Friday and most of Saturday but about an hour after dinner Saturday night Jeff got sick and was all day Sunday. He felt fine this morning and went to work. I am now convinced that Christian is our little terror and is the one carrying the virus around and that's why he hasn't got sick. I really don't know how I can get a more active child that is in to everything then him. At least I hope that it can't get any worse and our next one is more layed back like Caleb. Thank You for all your prayers we really appreciate it.

No fun for the sick!

2008-07-17T06:30:00.000-07:00

Well, the last few days Phenergan has been our best friend at the Miller home! Yesterday I woke up very sick at my stomach. When I say I am sick the Big question I ask myself and others ask me as well is "Am I Pregnant?" But, I even knew that it was way to early to be asking that question at this point so it must be something else. About an hour after I woke up and Jeff had already left for work I realized I had a stomach virus and was going down hill fast. What was I going to do with my children? I called my ever reliable mother-in-law to the rescue just to realize that she had the virus as well. So, I did something I never have to do, I called Jeff at work and told him that he was going to have to come home right away. He got home quick and as soon as he did I quarantined myself to the bedroom. Christian gave Jeff a hard time at first because he wanted to see me and Jeff wouldn't let him. After a long day Jeff finally got both the boys to bed and he came to check on me. He said he was exhausted and really all I could do at that comment was laugh and say WELCOME to my world EVERYDAY! All I know is that the question I get from him all the time "Why are you so tired at the end of the day?" I don't think I will be asked that again for a long time. And the cycle continues, Caleb woke up screaming about 7:00 this morning and when I went in his room he had gotten sick all in his bed. I immediately crushed one of my Phenergan's and gave it to him. He is now asleep in his bed and I hope that he will sleep for most of the day. Thank God for that Stuff! I really am praying that Christian and Jeff don't get sick but I am afraid they will since they have been all around me and Caleb. We will soon find out. Please keep us in your prayers.

We just got back from Panama City and we had a wonderful time. We were so happy that we took Lindsay she was an awesome help. I think the trip would have been a little more difficult and not as relaxing without her. She is like part of our family and the kids call her aunt Lindsay so it was fun having her there with us.
We left Sunday morning about 2am so that the kids would sleep the whole way. We got to panama around 10:00 and had the whole day at the pool. The resort was awesome and a great place for families. They had kids games by the pool everyday and Caleb loved it. Caleb got to make a foam visor and take snorkeling lessons. We could only go down to the beach when Christian was taking a nap because he hated the sand. He would start crying if we even started walking that way. The weather was great it only rained one time for about 15 min.
The first and last night we ate at the room. Monday night we all went to eat at Pineapple Willy's (Caleb's favorite place to eat at the beach)and Tuesday night Lindsay kept the boys at the room while Jeff and I went to dinner at Pompano's which was wonderful as usual. Once again we got up in the middle of the night and checked out of the hotel to head home about 3:00 this morning so the boys would sleep and they did the whole way. We were home and I had us totally unpacked by 12:30. The first thing Caleb wanted to do was go see his Gigi so he called her and of course she missed him too and was happy to come and get him. Christian was still sleepy and I came home sick with a terrible cold that gave me an earache and a headache and made me feel like I had the flu so after I got us unpacked I put Christian down for a nap and I went to bed. We slept until dinner time. We had a great vacation but as always it's nice to get home to your own bed.

Pops in the Park

2008-07-04T07:48:00.000-07:00

Forgetting that it was Pops in the park, the boys and I packed a picnic,drinks,blankets,towels and the boys swimsuits and went to surprise Jeff at work. On the way I realized what was going on tonight and wasn't sure if we should try it or not since we were not completely prepared. I would have brought the wagon and more drinks and snacks had I remembered. Jeff was happy to see us and surprised. We decided to give it a try with what we had so after 30 minutes of looking for a parking space we finally made it in and found a nice place to spread our blanket. After we ate Caleb got his face painted like a Ninja Turtle and then got some Clumpies icecream. To waste time until the fireworks we let the boys play in the water. The boys loved the fireworks, Christian was so excited. The night was not what I had imagined when I was planning our evening but it turned out to be a fun and exciting night that we all enjoyed. I am so glad that we did this. I really enjoy and couldn't think of anything I would rather do then spend time with my three favorite boys. I think we will make this a new family tradition and even though we did great with what we had we will be more prepared next year.

Today was a great day. My mother and I spent the day together and she treated me well. First, we went to Red Lobster for lunch, after that she took me to the spa. I loved my pedicure and hot stone massage.While we were there they were shooting a commercial and they filmed my pedicure so, everyone watch for the All About You Spa commercial next week beacause those are my legs and feet getting the pedicure. When we finished up there she took me to do a little shopping. Everyone knows how much I love doing that. The day was finished off with a wonderful dinner at the Chop House with my closest friends and family. This was a much needed and relaxing day that I am so thankful to get to share with my mother. Thanks for a fantastic day mom you are great! I love you!
