We have been very busy lately. Rachel has graduated from high school, it took several weeks to get everything ready and who knew it would be so expensive! Worth it though! I know now to not wait until Nicoles senior year to start getting her scrapbooks done! Nicole will be 17 on Tuesday, hard to believe she is sure her curfew should be later than 11 now but I don't think much good goes on in town after 11PM. The boys have been busy too, they are into racing gokarts. Lynden really enjoys playing with the gokarts and piddling around trying to make them go faster. The entire family usually goes to the Miller track on Sunday night to play around all taking turns riding, it is a great time! My sister was here for a few days and was able to go to Rachels graduation, that meant a lot to me! She has such a great family. Braylei will be one in two weeks, hard to believe. I will go get her today for a couple of hours if Taylor is just around home. We are all very excited about the new edition coming to the family, Melissa, Johnny, and Trin are going to be weloming a new baby around the end of the year. That will be so awesome! Maybe Trinity will finally spend the night with us when mom goes to the hospital! If not I will probably go in and spend the night with her!

Trinity and Braylei played outside yesterday while Melissa planted flowers and I planted strawberries in Melissas garden. Braylei and Trinity are the best buds, Braylei wants Trin to carry her around and so far the four wheeler seems to be the easiest way for Trin to carry Braylei without hurting her back. Of course they were sitting still and really didnt drive around by themselves, maybe next year.

Braylei is growing so much every day. I had her one day this week, Melissa and Annie took care of her while I worked. Today I went to see her at her house because she was yelling nanananananana Taylor put her on the phone and it broke my heart. When I got there I took her outside and she loves her kitty she even said kiki perfectly clear several times. She still has not taken more than three steps but thats ok I am sure in no hurry. I have a few pictures of her from Wednesday at my house, I stuck her in the flower pot as she is growing just like a beautiful flower.

Braylei is 9 1/2 months old. She spent two days with me this week. I hate to tell Taylor when she does something new but the lil sweety took three steps. I dont think she even realized she did it. She also started yelling NANA when she wanted me. She says mom, dad, and byebye and hi. The whole Nana thing took me by surprise, I will wait and see if she sticks with it. When Trinity walks in the door she immediately wants her and nobody else. Braylei is getting teeth- she has seven now. Trinity is starting to lose hers, she lost her first one this week, its so cute. We are going to have to be creative in keeping the kids busy this week as they are out of school. Take one day at a time and count your blessings one by one.

This is Papaw Millers big catch of the day!

Braylei is getting so big! She was 9 months old the 12th. She has been pulling up to furniture and walking around it for a couple weeks already. She is able to stand by herself but onlyy when she doesnt realize she is doing it. She is the love of our lives! So full of life and energy! Taylor and her are so close, she doesn't care to much if anyone else holds her when mommy is around. Braylei lights up a room when she enters in, same as Trinity those two are truly two peas in a pod. Braylei wants Trinity to hold her and poor Trin tries but Braylei is about 1/2 her size. They are both a joy!

I am at grammys today, my voice is hoarse and my cry sounds funny. Mom had to give me a brathing treatment. It doesn't slow me down as grammy came in to check if I was sleeping in my playpen and most to her surprise she found me to be standing up in it, yep all by myself! Grammy will put a picture up later

I haven't updated for a while. We had quite a snow storm here then a week in the
60's. It is cold today and supposed to snow again. I went to Grammys yesterday, we played all day. Grammy gave me a red sucker that was so messy and yummy! Then she chased me around with a video camera. I tried to crawl away but all I could do was laugh. Trinity and Melissa came out to play with me. Trinity held me for a while but I liked it best when Aunt Missa rocked me. I went right to sleep, she always holds me just right. Aunt Cole had to go to work but she played with me for a little while, she is always so busy. Aunt Rachel and Uncle Daniel and Aunt Emily went skiing at Paoli peaks, Daniel crashed and hurt his face. Papaw played with me too, I love when he walks with me and lets me cuddle on his shoulder. Uncle Kurtis and Xavier make me laugh they like to hide around the corner and scare the buhjeebers out of me, I will get them back one day! I learned a new trick, I can walk behind my toy all by myself grammy says I will be walking before we know it but something tells me she's not in a hurry!

Mommys flowers taste so yummy! Happy Valentines Day from Braylei

snow

We finally got the snow we have been waiting on- for 13 years claims the news. We got between 10-13 inches of snow. Next year I will be big enough to sled in it, this year I am just trying to figure out WHAT it is and WHY everyone likes it. To me it's just COLD! This is me, mommy, Marshall(eating snow) and sissy Brianna. The other pic is my and my daddy and brother and sister
