Merry Christmas!

For all of you who I normally send out a card to on Christmas, I am sorry. I am a total slacker this year. But, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's too, from the Millwards.

Halloween 2010

Okay, so it is a little late but, better late than never huh?

Our Gypsy girl


Scariest Zombie ever!


Speed the race car driver.


The Little Witch. No pun intended.

Kieryn again.

Action Shots of Kieryn learning to jump. She loves the trampoline.

This is Kieryn's Halloween costume. I found the hat, and leggings a Target for a buck. The hat fit her little head perfectly. I made the tutu. And yes she'll have a top for the big night. I just haven't found one I like yet.


Look at that outtie belly button! Sooooo Cute!


She looks so big here. Just like a real toddler. You'd think that binkie was another apendage. She doesn't go anywhere without it. I really picked a fight letting her have it all the time. What can I say, I am weak.


Pinned dad in five seconds flat.

Mailey's Birthday pics.

So these aren't all of them but I am tired and the pictures are taking forever to load. Mailey turned ten and she now informes me that she is a pre-teen. As long as it's not a "teen" I say. Do they all turn into smart mouths at this age? It seems every conversation we have anymore is laced with under the breath bratty comments. For now, at least she is still pretty sweet, and helps out when I ask her to. And hopefully she will never out grow giving me morning (before she leaves), and night (before she goes to bed)-hugs.

IT'S THIS GIRLS BIRTHDAY TODAY!

Mailey is ten years old today, and I can't believe it. Has it really been that long? Mailey is such a good girl. She is by biggest helper, and a great big sister to her brothers and sister. I couldn't imagine life without her beautiful face and smile. We love you May-May.

Playing around with my camera.

I have had my camera for four years. It's not a great camera, but this is the first time I've actually read the instructions. These were fun, just after sunset, just playing around with the settings. Kieryn is the only one with enough tolerance for me taking her picture. Plus, she's just so darn cute.

First day of Kindergarten.

Cole was so excited to go to kindergarten, but not as excited as I was to send him. This is the third kid, I shed no tears. I know, I know, I'm terrible.

Early Potty trainer?

It really looks like she knows what she's doing doesn't it? She's just pretending, but a mom can hope right? I figure if i get her used to sitting on it, she'll want to use it sooner. Hmmmmm.

Football season.

Jackson has started football, and so far is liking it. They have had two games and lost both. It's not all about winning, but whether or not he's having fun. We still have about six games left so i guess we'll see how it go's for the rest of the season.

Raptors Game.

Every year the Insurance Center has a customer appreciation night at a Ogden Raptors game. We usually don't stay the whole game because we have had some little monkeys that won't sit still every year so far. This time it was Kieryn of course. We tried to corral her in. She found some random family next to us with a 18 month old. She tried to take over his roll as the baby in the family, and sat with the dad the entire time we were there. Stinker.

Hill Air Force Museum

The kids have been bugging me to take them here. I didn't want to but gave in one day because we were all bored. Right next to it is the Roy historical Museum. It was a snore-fest for me, but the kids loved it. They got to make rockets and shoot them off. And they got to dress up in pilot/astronaut suits. It was also very hot and muggy in the museum. There was no air conditioner and it stunk like an old gym locker. The things we do for our kids.

On the 24th we went on a hike with the kids. It was hot and we went somewhere we haven't been before. The trail was downhill to begin, and that is never a good thing. We used up all our energy on the way out and had none on the way back, going up hill. Kieryn was a trooper and hardly cried at all. I made sure that she was well hydrated and gave her little snacks along the way. When we finally got back to the car we were all spent. Kieryn got cranky, and five minuets after we started home she upchucked everything. Blec. It must have been an entire gallon of urp. Lets just say it wasn't a pleasant ride home. She was fine the rest of the day although. It must have been motion sickness from being in the back pack I guess.

Kieryn loves books. Mailey is a great big sister. She is always playing with Kieryn or entertaining her.

Jackson's Baptism

I can't believe my second born is eight. That makes me feel old. It was good day for all of us. Jackson said afterward that "Getting baptized is fun!" I think it may have been because he got a lot of cards and presents more than the baptism itself. Who doesn't like presents? We love you Jackson, and are so proud of you.

Cute Baby

I just thought that these were cute pic's of Kieryn. She won't keep headbands in anymore, so I snapped these before she could get it out.

Kieryns first time at a splash pad

On our trip to St. George we had to visit the splash pad, it was sooo hot. Kieryn loves water. Anytime she gets in the tub or anywhere near water she washes her hair with it. It's really cute, until she finds that water from out of the toilet. Hey, at least she's not drinking it though. I know most of these pictures are of Kieryn, but she is just so fun to see experiencing everything for the first time.
