A Beautiful Weekend!

We decided to take Baby Girl to see her Uncle and Aunt this weekend.  My husband's brother lives about an hour and a half away from us so we don't get to see him and his wife very often.  My husband likes to use Facetime on the iPad to talk to them but that's not the same.

So Saturday, after my husband finished his work day (which wasn't until 7pm), we headed to his brother's house.  Baby Girl slept almost the whole way there, go figure.  Just like her Mama, she can't stay awake on long car rides.  Not a big deal but not fun when you know you're going to be awake with the little one until midnight!

We didn't arrive until around 9 because we stopped for food on the way.  We just relaxed for a bit and let Baby Girl run around and try to burn off some of her nap time energy.  It was a little rough but I finally got her to sleep around midnight.  She woke up at 8am the next morning ready to explore!

After a nice breakfast at Cracker Barrel, we spent the rest of the day relaxing and watching Baby Girl run around like a wild woman!  I'm so glad it was a warm day because she spent the entire day outside.  She ran around, rode on the tractor, played with the dog and just enjoyed the day.

 
 
 She decided she wanted to check out the dog crate.
 
Then she decided to crawl into the dog crate.  By the time I got the picture, she was crawling back out.  Of course the dog wants to know why she is in the crate! 

 Baby Girl and Uncle T.  The dog, Remy, was in love and would not leave Baby Girl alone for a second!

 Daddy gave Baby Girl a ride on the tractor.  She cried at first but then she loved it and wouldn't leave it alone.  They were giving her random rides the rest of the day!  I posted this picture on Facebook with the caption, "Redneck amusement park ride!"

Can you spot the baby?  She wouldnt' leave the tractor alone!

 
Look at that happy face!
  
After forcing Baby Girl to take a very short nap, we ate some dinner where she proceeded to stuff herself with mashed potatoes.  She was messy but it was worth it!  She slept most of the ride back home but it wasn't quite as bad to get her to sleep since we left around 5:30. 
 
She is still very tired today and didn't seem to want to go to daycare!  I think we will be spending a lot of time outside this Summer!!
 
Tomorrow is the day!!!!  We find out if we are team pink or team blue!!!  My husband won't be able to make it to the appointment so I asked my Grandmother to join me.  I know she is excited to find out and she thinks it's girl.  Today is the last day to vote!  I have to tell my husband right away but I think that I will post the update tomorrow night or Wednesday morning.  I have a plan!  (or I might be too excited and might just spill the bean right away...we'll see!)

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

Big News!

We have been trying very hard to keep this to ourselves for just a little while longer but I can't wait anymore!    Baby Miller #2...due 09/01/13!!!!!!!!! I am 8 weeks and 1 day I have known since Christmas Eve I am much more tired and much more nauseous this time around I haven't gained a single pound yet, unlike last time I am not so secretly hoping it's another girl If this one is anything like Baby Girl, he or she will be born mid-August I've been leaving hints all over the place but no one noticed! I am so excited!   I've already had one doctor's appointment but I was only 7 weeks so there wasn't much to do.  We couldn't hear the heartbeat or anything so the next appointment will be much more exciting!  My next appointment isn't until February 11th so that's when I'll get to hear and possibly see my next little monster!  So exciting!   PS:  Notice the blog title?!
