I am thankful for very talented friends. My friend Crystal took my boys pictures last week and they turned out so good. My boys were terrible for her, of course, and I wondered if she would have any decent shots. She is fabulous however and they turned out great. Check them out by clicking here.
Scroll down to where it says Miller Boys!
Thanks Crystal!

Things I am Thankful for Day 3
I am thankful I have a place to call home! A place that is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A place that keeps us safe from the rain, snow and wind. What a great blessing!!

Things I am Thankful for Day 2
Today I am grateful I made it through my day! I am also grateful the day is over and the kids are in bed!
I had to be at Noah's school early to help with carpool this morning. After getting out of bed I remembered I didn't make my meals for my meal group opps. They were due today at 2:00. I did Noah's carpool and then called to arrange Lara's carpool except I couldn't get a hold of Lara so I had to drive all the way back home, pick up Lara and take her to Jennifers house. Then I headed over to Dicks Grocery Store. I needed to get some things to make my meals. Luke and Isaac were both still in their jammies. They wanted to ride in the car cart (hate those things) so I caved and let them. (feeling a bit bad about dragging them out in their jammies). Luke proceeded to get in and out at least 25 times making my 15 minute shopping trip into a 30 minute trip.
Question: why is the tomato paste and sauce not by the tomatoes??
I bought the boys a donut and then we headed to the car. Isaac ate his donut but Luke, well he is Luke so he got mad that his donut got frosting on his hand and he chucked the donut on the floor of the car. Then he started crying because he wanted his donut he had just thrown. I headed to the bank listening to Luke screaming about his donut the whole way. At the bank I got my wipes and wiped him down and handed him his donut. As I was getting him out of the car my arm felt a little wet, yes, his diaper was really full (brilliant me didn't change him before we left). He had left a wet spot on me and his car seat. He was still kind of crying and got more frosting on him and as we were going in the bank he starting screaming again. I walked back to the car, got some more wipes, cleaned him up, but he had chucked the donut again and when I picked it up it had dirt and hair on it so I threw it away. Man oh man did I pay for that... he screamed the whole time I was in the bank (all the old people giving me crusties, you get the picture). We got our money and headed for the car. Then we had to go to the other bank to deposit the money we had just taken out of the other bank. (don't ask) The crying had stopped by then so I was feeling slightly less stressed out. I made my deposit and gave them their 2nd sucker for the day (it was only 9:30). The stick fell off Lukes sucker and he got mad and started crying yet again and spit his sucker on me and all over his jammies. So now I had pee, sucker, and donut all over me. Not to mention I hadn't showered or done my hair or make up for the day. I got home and started cooking, I had to make 10 six person meals and have them bagged and ready to go by 2. It was about 10:20 by then. My sister calls just as I am putting Luke in timeout because he is climbing on the table screaming at Isaac and throwing Legos everywhere. I didn't know who it was for a minute and she asks me if I am still meeting them (my mom and sister) for lunch. I had forgotten about our lunch date scheduled for 11:30 that day. At this point it is 10:20, which means I have to leave in 10 minutes to make it on time, I haven't showered and food is cooking on my stove. I tell her I will meet them but it will have to be a little bit later. I cook the food, get the cheese and sour cream in baggies, then run and shower. I stick the food in the fridge to cool while I am gone and we are off wet hair and all. (I did manage to get some eye make up on...)We meet them for lunch at Chuck A Rama. My kids eat their mac and cheese in about 10 minutes and then proceed to climb all over the bench and tell me every 2 minutes they are ready to go home. I manage to chat with my mom and sis. I decide I'd better see what time it is and wouldn't you know it, it is 1:45. I am in Orem and need to have my meals ready and delivered at 2:00. Yeah right.
I race home, get my meals bagged and then have to deliver them to everyone at home because I have missed the drop off. I was short 3 meals so I had to make another batch, plus pick up car pool and get Noah to scouts. I managed to get everyone fed and bathed and in bed at 7:30 (I turned the clocks ahead because it is just that kind of day hee hee) Noah then comes out and tells me he has homework. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! We proceed to do homework until 8:30 and now FINALLY everyone is in bed asleep. I am tired. I realize most of today was caused by me, lack of planning, stupidy, whatever......I am still tired.
Hopefully tomorrow is better.......

Things I am Thankful for Day 1
Since it is November I decided I would post some things I am thankful for! (Thanks Jamie for the reminder...)
Day 1: I am thankful for my family!
I have the greatest hubby, he helps me with the kids and the occasional dish and he loves me even when I am crazy!
My boys teach me everyday, they love me, give me hugs and kisses, make me laugh and teach me to be humble and patient!
I have the greatest Mom in the whole world. She listens and helps me out and is there for me whenever I need anything.
I have the greatest cousins in the whole world, they actually like spending time with me :), they are generous, kind, fun, beautiful and I wish we lived closer!!
I am also thankful for my friends!! They are kind of like family to me because we don't live that close to our families so I have to depend on them like you might your family! I have the greatest friends in the whole world, they cheer me up on gloomy days, help me with my kids, and teach me by their examples. They have been there for me through high school, bad haircuts, my divorce, 2 crappy pregnancies, 1 normal pregnancy, moving, every day motherhood, church callings, home remodels, yard work, grumpy days, sick days, the list goes on and on....

Bright sunshiney day!
There was sun today! Yipee!
I went to the park yesterday with Jenny and it was all overcast and yucky. Today I woke up to sunshine (not really, I don't sleep in that late...) I took the boys to the park again to play and get some Vitamin D! My days are so much better when there is sunshine! I get to go to an Elders Quorum party tonight...I know...I know... you are all jealous.....

Slow week...
So this week is early out for the the girl I pick up from school. Something about the 1:25 time that just throws me off for the day. Then she likes to hang out for a couple of hours before going home. I am used to boys, so I think girls require a bit more work. :) I don't know how to entertain her, dishes and laundry are not all that exciting....I will be glad when Friday has come and gone!
So, because of my super exciting week, I have nothing to update, no exciting news, no pictures......I did however get my laundry folded this week....pretty proud of myself.....oh yeah, I am pretty sure I have gained about 5 lbs too.....Andes Mint cookies and no exercise.....
