Cruisin

Looks like Jackson and Harper will be cruising the neighborhood sooner than I thought! 

As if we didn't already have a hard enough time keeping these two inside when it's cold!  There is no stopping them now.  Harper said it best tonight, "this is so much fun"!  Over and over and over :)

Mickey's Clubhouse

One of Jackson and Harper's favorite cartoons is Mickey Mouse so it was very fitting to turn our house into Mickey's Clubhouse for their 2nd birthday!  The twins (and Tyler and I) had so much fun celebrating their birthday with all our friends and family.  Thank you to everyone that came and helped make the twins' birthday special!  It was such a fun evening.  We could not ask for better friends and family!

 

J&H had to test out the jump house before all their friends arrived, and they definitely approved!

brotherly/sisterly love! 

 

party time!

Story of the night . . . LOTS of kids that played so well together! 

 

J&H were so glad their friend Cohen made it down from Tulsa for the partay! 

 And I was especially excited to meet Miss little Lane!  Precious . . .

 Playing with trains is serious business

  Chio ladies

 Beta love

Love these neighbor ladies and all their sweet kiddos.  Wish I would have snapped a pic earlier in the night with all the neighbors. 

 Jackson and Luke loved riding Tommy together!  So much easier than taking turns riding :)

Sweet hugs!

 Morning after grandparent pic!  So glad you all were able to join in the birthday celebration.

Another successful birthday party for two little kiddos that I adore!  You two are loved by so many!

 

Baby Miller

Baby Miller has a name . . .

Mason Mark Miller

Tyler and I have always loved the name Mason and we knew if we had another boy, we would pass down Tyler's middle name Mark, so it was a relatively simple decision.

 

Mason's stocking came in the day before Christmas Eve.  Perfect timing for a Christmas reveal.

 

A little over 3 months until we meet baby Mason!  I can't believe it is so soon!  He has grown a lot lately, or at least I'm using that as an excuse for all my holiday eating.  I have been feeling great, just like my pregnancy with the twins.  I'm definitely in nesting mode trying to get everything prepared for Mason's arrival.   His nursery is painted so that is a big check in my book.  I have a feeling the next 3 months are going to fly by so I'm trying to stay on top of everything.  The list is endless!

 

We can't wait to meet our little man!

Family Pics

Thank you to Auntie Stephanie and Uncle Matt for capturing a few family pics of the Millers for our 2013 Christmas card.  The twins might not be smiling but we are ALL in the same picture and these days that is as good as it gets!  It was cold and windy while taking these pictures so turning them to black and white worked best so you don't see our purplish faces and watery eyes!

 

 

 

At this point, capturing a family picture of 5 seems near impossible! 

Big Beds

In preparation for Baby #3 we transitioned Jackson and Harper to big beds this week which they both love!  In a little over 3 months, sleepless nights are in our future due to a newborn so I'm trying to avoid the double whammy of sleepless nights from the transition to TWO toddler beds as well! 

So far it hasn't been too bad!  Jackson was ready for a big bed.  He was no longer sleeping very good in his crib and was constantly asking to sleep on his nap cot.  Harper on the other hand still LOVED her crib and was the perfect little sleeper.  Our biggest challenge is getting Harper to fall asleep!  She used to play in her crib for at least 30 mins every evening.  Her playing now consists of getting in and out of bed and opening and closing her door.  We also get a few early morning visits from our little ones but otherwise the transition is going relatively smoothly. We have a little over 3 months to perfect this!  Glad we started early :)
