WOW....

Has it really been a month since I updated our family blog?!?!

A lot has happened in the past month so I will attempt to catch up. Here goes...

I left you guys hanging on July 7th. I spent the week of June 8-12 finalizing my plans for VBS which was June 15-19. We had a great time. I worked with some amazing people teaching crafts to about 300 K-4th graders.

This was Miller's 2nd VBS. I was not able to take any pictures of him enjoying his class but I am confident he had a blast. He made this sweet footprint tile that I will always cherish.

Which leads me to Father's day (June 21st). We enjoyed a quite weekend at home. We joined my parents for Lunch after Church for a steak Lunch. My sister and Miller made this fun hand print artwork that will go nicely with the footprint tile Miller made in VBS.

It will also go nicely with My mother's day gift from Miller.

Along with all the VBS activities Miller turned 19 Months Old.

He is such a ball of energy. He has transitioned from two naps down to one a day (This is one reason for my absence from the blog world.) Miller doesn't walk anymore he RUNS!! EVERYWHERE!! He is still a sweet baby but is starting so show signs of rebellion. We really have to keep an eye on him because you NEVER know what he might get into.

Example...Mommy's Mascara!! At least it came off very easily!

Miller is beginning to climb. He can climb up onto most things these days. We went to Chick-Fil-A this week with some good friends. Miller had the MOST fun climbing in the play center. He proudly waved at me from the top. I wish I had carried my camera to capture his excitement, maybe next time!!

Miller is talking more and more every day. He really seems to understand what we are saying even though we can't understand what he is saying most of the time. Some words he can say clearly are... shoe, juice, dada, ball, where'd it go?, he can also count to 3 in his own way and we know what he is saying every time.

Miller LOVES it outside. We have spent a lot of time in the back yard these last couple of weeks enjoying his swimming pool and the water hose.

This weekend we spent Independence Day at home. We spent the morning doing chores and odd jobs around the house preparing to cook wings for dinner with family. Last minute we decided to take Miller to see the local firework show. After his bath we loaded up and headed up the street to enjoy the show. We parked at a parking lot by a grassy area about a mile from the actual festivities. I was worried about it being to crowded or loud for Miller. After running around our little grassy spot for about an hour the show began. By this time Miller was on his last wind and was ready to crash. He still seemed to enjoy the fireworks but I think he would have rather been sound asleep in his crib.

We continued our celebration on Sunday night with My parents at their church. Can you tell what Miller enjoyed for Dinner?!?!

He LOVES Cheese curls!!

We have spent this week helping my Mom make curtains for her Dining Room and My Sister make curtains for her Living room. I thought things would slow down once Summer began but I was wrong... We just got busier with different things.

Until next time... HAPPY SUMMER!!
