Soooo much going on!!!

First and foremost...we finally have Daddy back home for good!!! Yea! He loved Alabama but he actually got a job offer we couldn't refuse, in Spanish Fork, so he came home early for the summer! We were so excited and it makes life a lot easier and happier to have him home...we sure did miss him! So this is going to be a mega overload of pics since its been over a month since I last posted...We have had lots of festivities and with Baby Boy on the way in exactly two weeks there has been sooo much going on!!!

Cupcake and Daddy! She was so thrilled to have him home...for about three days she only wanted him to do everything with her! So sweet! So Cupcake has been a little obsessed with Toy Story lately and my Mom found her this Woody costume and she would not take it off for a few days...
How do make her take it off when she looks so darn cute! haha
My sis and I are both preggers (don't mind the goofy face) and actually are about two weeks apart which has been really fun!!! To top it off we are both having little boys...hopefully they will be the best of friends! Here is a little better pic...Bri had to hop in between the preggosSince Mal and I are pregnant together and I am on my 2nd we did a combined shower which turned out to be way fun!!! Thanks all who came we love you!

Home Sweet Home...

I think Cupcake's face in this pic explains how we were all feeling to be leaving Georgia to come back home to Utah!!! We headed back for Daddy's sister's wedding a few weeks ago, and Cupcake and Mommy get to stay while our hardworking Daddy got a little week break from the southern summer work and headed back, but to Alabama rather than Georgia! We are missing him more than we can explain...its been a hard almost two weeks that he has been gone :( but only 5 more weeks and he will be back for good and in perfect timing to welcome our soon to be newest member into our family! August 12th is the big day for Baby Boy Miller to enter this world! We are happy to be home, lonely without Daddy, busy with lots of family and summer events, and anxiously excited for the new little guy! We loved our experience in Georgia, but nothing is better than Home Sweet Home!

Georgia on my mind...

We are all packed up and ready to leave Georgia bright and early tomorrow morning...to head back home to Utah!!! It's a little bittersweet, but I think we are all ready! Daddy is going to be flying back after a much needed week of driving home, wedding hoopla, and family time and going to Alabama for 6 weeks! We sure are gonna miss him! We truly have a such an amazing experience out here and are closer as a family for it! Georgia has been great but nothing feels like home other than good ole Utah!
Things we will miss about Georgia...
-wonderful southern hospitality (Walmart is a whole new experience here)
-wonderful warm weather...minus the humidity, it's killer
-cool thunderstorms
-fireflies
-ward we attended...the people were so welcoming
-complex we live in...including the 6 pools
-beautiful trees
-most of all our fabulous friends out here

Daddy Time...

On Wednesday morning we were lucky enough to go to the pool with Daddy!!! Cupcake loved it...she usually just likes to do her own thing in the pool but this pool day she just wanted to play with Daddy...they were so cute together and Daddy sure does love his Cupcake a whole bunch! Nothing is better than sweet moments of family time like this...We sure do love our Daddy!!!
Cupcake and Daddy...she was smiling but didn't want to look up cause it was a little too bright!
Daddy catching Cupcake...I love his face and her Superman jump, oh and his wicked farmers tan haha that's what happens when he is outside all day workingAll of the Dad's kept catching the frogs nearby and Cupcake loved looking at them but wouldn't touch...But cute little Ava had no problem holding the frog! Cupcake has a fake snake that is the best we could get out of her...
Fun with Daddy

Saturday Outings...

Daddy usually works all day Saturday so all the wives and kiddo's like to go exploring what Georgia has to offer...Most of the time we end up at Chick Fillet for a fun lunch outing but the last few Saturdays we have had some fun outings!!!

A Visit From Grandma...

Cupcake got a little surprise over Memorial weekend when Grandma Patti (my mom) came to visit us in Georgia!!! We had a lot of fun visiting, shopping, relaxing, exploring the Riverfront, getting a small amount of time by the pool, and experiencing the Atlanta Aquarium! We were glad she could come see what we are doing here in Georgia!

If you can't tell the Aquarium was a hit with Cupcake...I have to admit it was pretty amazing!
On our way to the gift shop at the end of our visit, and Grandma's we took her to the airport right after! Thanks Grandma Patti for a fun weekend!!!

Princess Package!

Cupcake received a princess package from my Mom a few days ago and she was soooo excited to open it!...Thanks Grandma PattiShe got a dress, treats, a new princess pool ball, and my mom shipped her favorite movie that I forgot to pack...Princess And The Froghaha she wouldn't open her eyes to smile so we got about 10 of this same shot, I take what I can get when it comes to my two year old though these days!
Cupcake and Daddy were having fun swinging on Sunday...Daddy is more patient than me when it comes to pushing the swing...they were doing this for about 30 minutes!
Cupcake has been pretty mischievous lately...this is the mess she made with her applesauce, while eating dinner, we walked out of the room for all of 10 minutes...haha what can you do other than laugh and take a picture!
She also decided that she wanted some gum...I went to put my swimsuit on in the other room and this is what I came back to, perfectly lined up pieces of empty wrappers and an empty package! Again what can you do other than laugh and take a picture...gotta love two year olds!
