Welcome

baby number 3 into our house hold. We found out this morning that I am once again pregnant. I am in a complete state of shock. I was even on birth control again. I am a little more excited since I'm out of the inital shock and pitty stage. I am hoping for a girl.. I mean it might happen... right? Probably not but I can have dreams. I will be going to the doctor within a couple of weeks to confirm and get a date but from my calculations I should be due end of December possibly the end of Novemeber beginning of December. Which means that I was prego while I was in Utah. So yeah I told Ryan after he got home from work today and he isn't happy and is very depressed... keep him and us in your prayers we need them!!! CONGRATS TO ME!!!

Hay Hay

I took Hayden today for his 6 month check up.
He is 17 lbs. 13 oz.
26 1/2 inches
in the 50% for both which is wonderful.
He has a rash under his chin from drooling so much with cutting teeth but should go away within 3-5 days.

YAY our hayden is growing up!!

Brightyn and Hayden Updates

Brightyn always seems to amaze me. He is now almost 2 (YEAH ALMOST 2 CRAZY!!!) and talking up a storm. I mean sometimes you don't know what he's saying but for the most part you can. I think for a 20 month old he is a very polite kid. Brightyn will say please when he wants something (sometimes he has to be reminded) and after you give him something or he gives you something he says thank you. Along with Please and thank you he is saying:
Mom
dad
cheese
sky
cars (everything is a car until you remind him somethings are trucks and motorcycles)
lightening mcqueen (from his favorite movie of all time Cars)
bops (his favorite t.v. show doodlebops)
nana
papa
kylie (his favorite cousin)
doggie
ducks
quack
woof woof
buddy
bubby
Woah buddy (my favorite saying)
color
books
hello
bye bye
I see you (his first sentence)
truck
his favorite...No
High Five
binki
drink
juice

He also knows the Book of Mormon Stories, Popcorn popping, and do as I'm doing motions. It is so cute to watch him dance because he gets so into it. He also knows how to count to 3. I know that its only 3 but it was a long hard road to get to 3 haha. He would always go 1,2,1,2...No 3 :)

Like I said he always seems to amaze me. I love my little guy and can't believe that he's almost 2!!!

Hayden is now starting to scooch his way accross the floor. Right now its kinda the head into the ground and the back legs are pushing kind of thing. Just last week he learned to sit up on his own..thank you Kylie and Kai. But now he's scooching!!! Crazy. I mean it seems like yesterday when I was freaking crawling up the delivery bed in pain and now he's almost crawling. He loves to be around Brightyn and learns so much from him. I can't wait until they can actually play together instead of Brightyn dominating him.

I really don't have much to update on except for the boys...life it pretty boring right now... :(

CONGRATS RYAN

I just wanted everyone to know that while we were out in Utah Ryan recieved a job offer for the position that he applied for. We really weren't expecting him to recieve the position from the way the guys acted but we are so excited! I am so proud of my husband and all he does to provide for our family. He is such an awesome husband. He is the light of my life and I don't know what I would do without him. Thank you Ryan for all your hard work I love you so much!!

Our Utah Trip

Here is a slide show of pictures from our trip. There are some really good ones of the boys and also my favorite little niece Kylie. I think she's also Brightyn's favorite person in the world. He misses her so much. Any baby girl is Kylie to him its so sad how much he misses her. Hope you enjoy the pictures. I love them so much!!!



Utah Trip 3-08

Utah Trip 3-08
Well our trip to Utah was a bust. I think it was the worst vacation I've ever had except for the last 2 days when we stayed with Austin and Linley. Thanks for letting us stay at your house guys we really appriciated it. I'm not going to get into a lot of detail on here about things that happened on our trip that made it so bad. Lets just say I won't be going back to Utah for a while.
Ashley and Jordan's wedding was so awesome and I'm glad I was out there to see it.
While we were in Utah Ryan got a job offer at the same company he's working at now. Just a lot more money and a better position. We now are looking at expensive houses instead of cheap houses. I'm so excited!!!
I'll see you Utah folk when I see ya.... :)

Jordan's Wedding

Jordan and Ashely were married on March 14th in the Timp. Temple. It was an amazing sealing. All 3 of the Mills boys (and their spouses) were sealed by the same guy Brother Featherstone (his brother is in the 70). They had a very beautiful reception and I thought I would share some pictures of my boys and their special day. Hayden at Jordan's wedding

SNOW SNOW AND MORE SNOW

So we have gotten 14" of snow within yesterday at 2:00 pm and today. We're supposed to get more and its still SNOWING!! YUCK. They're calling this the blizzard of 08'. Ohio usually doesn't get this much snow and the last time they did was 1976. I usually love snow but we're stuck in our house. We're on a level 3 snow emergency (which means if you're caught on the roads you get a ticket). So we decided to make the best of it and take the boys out to play. Brightyn did NOT like to be in a snow suit at first but then after a few minutes he LOVED it except when we kept falling face first into the snow. Hayden loved it too but he wasn't out there for long.

Just got done eating some snow.

Okay I love answering questions about my hubby. Thanks Laura for tagging me!!!

1. What is his name? Ryan Thomas Mills

2. How long have you been married? 3 years and 2 months

3. How long did you date? 2 years

4. How old is he? 25 he loves being older than me since I'm only 22

5. Who eats more sweets? I think him.

6. Who said I love you first? He did.. I wanted to but I didn't want to say it first
7. Who is taller? Ryan for sure. He's like 6' and I'm 5'3"

8. Who can sing better? He does by far. He's got an amazing voice. I love to hear him sing to the boys

9. Who is smarter? We both have our areas of strength but I think I'm more street smart.
10. Who does the laundry? I do but I make Ryan put away his own clothes or he lives out of laundry basket.
11. Who pays the bills? Me, he makes it.... I spend it :)

12. Who sleeps on the right side? Ryan does. We just switched side of the bed

13. Who mows the lawn? We don't have a lawn so we don't have to worry about it. But after we get a house he will probably. Its a "man" thing he says.

14. Who cooks dinner? I do most of the time unless its my night to myself then he does and I do the dishes:)

15. Who drives? Ryan, once again he thinks its a "man" thing. But he's starting to drive like his dad so I think I'm going to take that one over soon haha

16. Who kissed who first? He kissed me first!

17. Who asked who out first? Actually, neither one of us asked each other out on our first date. He asked me from the airport if we could date.... We had a long distance relationship for a few month so when I moved out to Utah it was just a given thing we would go out together.

18. Who proposed? Ryan and it took him long enough :)

19. Who has more siblings? It depends on how you look at it. Ryan has 2 brothers and I have one real sister. But I also have 4 step siblings. So I would say me

20. Who wears the pants? I do, but sometimes I let him think that he is in charge!!!!! Right on Laura!

Ok, now I am going to tag Kalli, Brooke, Jobi, Cheryl. Have fun!

Please keep them

i just found out when Ryan got home that my best friend from church passed away today. No one knows how as of right now how she passed away that they are telling. She just turned 30, has an amazing husband, and leaves behind 3 little girls under the age of 5. I just lost my best friend from high school 2 weeks ago and now this. It is really hard to understand right now the Lords plan. I've already been struggling lately with my faith and now this honestly is throwing it over the top. I don't know how he could take these two people that mean so much to me. I got to thinking today about how many people I've lost in the past 5 years since I graduated high school and I counted 15!! 15 and I'm not counting people I didn't know that passed away. What am I supposed to learn from this??? Please keep the Scivally family in your prayers. Nothing was wrong with her I just saw her husband yesterday at Bath and Body with his girls!

Keep us in your prayers

Ryan applied for a new position at work and he had a phone interview today. He said it went really well and they're setting him up for a face to face interview for sometime this week. They really wanted to get him in as soon as possible. So please keep us in your prayers that he gets this new job. It would be closer to home by 20 minutes and he would make $15,000 more than he does now so we would be able to find a nice home!! I am so excited but trying not to get my hopes up.

Warm Weather YAY YAY YAY

Today was sooooo nice!! It was 70 here and yeah it was a little windy but it made it feel so nice. Ryan played hookie from work and spent the day with the boys and I. We decided since it was so nice out to take the boys to the park. Here are some pictures of the boys. Enjoy!

This was Hayden's first experience with the swing and he loves it just like his brother did. He was seconds from falling asleep. It was so funny.
Going down the slide... Don't worry my mom had a hold of him.

Brightyn was NOT ready to go home!!! Brightyn is climbing up everything and not afraid at all!!! In this picture he was climbing up a rock wall to get to the slide and this was the face he made the entire way up.
Going down a fun slide.... ended up in MUD.. His daddy just about died!

Brightyn enjoying the swings as usual!

Hayden just chillin before he fell asleep.

Need help people

I can't get my blog to list anything. It just throws everything together like one big paragraph! how do I get it to list things? I don't understand why it won't work!
