Bed time boys

We had just finished our family nightime routine and the boys decided they weren't ready for bed yet. They thought they could hide from us and wouldn't have to go to bed. They hid behind their curtains, little did they know that we could see their little toes. Easton isn't the best hider to begin with. All we had to say is, "where's Easton", and he jumped out saying "here I am". Thank goodness he did because we never would have found them :).

Time out

I had asked Easton to pick up something that he had thrown. He wouldn't do it so I asked him if he would like to go to time out and he said yes! This is him putting himself in time out. He decided were he wanted time out to be. Obviously he really didn't want to pick up. He thought he was such a big boy, just like his big brother who also spends a lot of time in time out :).

My hard working boys!

Graham and Easton love to go upstairs and work in the attic with Jason ( yatic if you are Easton). One particular day they were up in the attic with Jason, he was working on something and he turned around and the boys had created this block tower/town with all the scrap wood. They were so proud of themselves. Anytime Easton hears the door to the attic open he runs to get his shoes so he can go help. My little builders.

Maddy Starts Soccer

Madison decided to give soccer one more try. She had a brief go of it back when she was five. It started out HOT!!! They would play in the heat of the afternoon with high temps and high humidity. She was a trooper. She toughed it out and even managed to kick the ball a few times. Last week she almost made a goal. She is already better than her mom ever was!! Her favorite part of soccer is the snack after the game. That's are Maddy we love her.

Our First Base Girl

Emma started her second season of softball. She's gaining confidence which is fun to see. This season the girls have started pitching and the 3 strikes your out rule now applies. This is different than last year and a bit of an adjustment but we are learning and having fun, that's what counts. She is playing first base most of the time ( being our lefty) and a back up to 1st the rest of the time. Most people might call this right field but at this age there really isn't a "right field". Go Emma!!

Graham starts soccer

We started soccer and softball a couple of weeks ago and we have been on the run ever since. Graham started soccer for the first time and seems to enjoy it but with him you are never quite sure. His games and practicea are on Saturdays. He has practice for 1/2 hour and then has a game for 1/2 hour. Short and sweet. We love it! He got his first goal during his first game ever. He was very proud of himself. He came running home to tell me all about it. Go Graham.

Easton Performing at Gammy's House

Here's a fun video of Easton showing off at Gammy's house. Somewhere, he picked up this thing where he does a karate punch and says "Fire!", as though he's shooting you with a ray gun. I think Graham had something to do with it. Enjoy.

Easton's 2nd Birthday Pictures

Easton turned 2 on September 17th. He is getting so big and loves to do what his big brother is doing. This many times ends up in trouble. For his birthday he got a sand table and match box cars. We all enjoyed a yummy egg, dairy and peanut free cake! We love you Easton. Happy Birthday.

The Millers Are Officially Bloggers!

It's been a long time coming but we made it to the 21st century. Thanks to those who have gone before we have decided (pushed) into doing our own family blog. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Things are quite busy at the Miller house. School is in full swing, and three of the kids are involved in sports. Madison is playing soccer, Emma is playing softball, and Graham is in soccer, too. That makes for a hectic, but fun, Saturday schedule.

Easton just celebrated his 2nd birthday on Sept 17th. He was thrilled with his dinner of hotdogs and fruit salad. He really likes his new sand table and matchbox cars.

Jason is making some progress in the attic we decided to finish. Luckily the weather is cooling off, so it shouldn't be so hot up there. We can't wait to have another room to lock our kids in (I mean spend quality family time in).
