Mac's first day of Preschool!

Today we woke up early (for us) got ready, packed a lunch and set this little guy off to school! This year Mac's preschool is on the other side of town and starts at 9:00 am and doesn't get over until 1:30 pm. I'm expecting one tired little boy today!
Since Mac is in a carpool and it wasn't my day to take, we went yesterday to meet his teachers and see the school. Here's Mac with his core teacher Miss Stacey and making crafts.












I can never get enough of this kid. Mac, we are sure going to miss you today! Can't wait to hear all about your first day of preschool!

Labor Day Weekend

Katie, Beej, Emma and Ellie came to visit for the weekend. We are excited to have them close to us for the next 3 years.

Here's a little recap of the weekend backwards.... Monday we went to Reed Vally Apple Orchard to take advantage of their buy 1 bag of apples, get 1 free deal. The orchard was crowded with pregnant ladies wearing BYU t-shirts! Who else buys bushels of apples to can?

We picked and ate apples to our hearts desire!

The other part of the weekend consisted of college football, farmers market, more football and a little birthday party for miss Emma.

It was fun to relax and catch up with family! Wirig family come back soon!

Speaking of family. Back in August Ry, Roo, Lucy and Jack stayed with us for a couple of days. This is the only picture I got of their stay. Have you seen a cuter set of cheeks?

My Boys

What's not to love about these two? Besides the fact they wont let me get a good picture of the two of them, they are perfectly perfect. Can you tell I'm having a good "mom day." The other weekend Drew and I had nothing going on. We woke the boys up, went to the park and played a little baseball.

Mac proved to be a good hitter.

While Gray proved to be a good cheerleader and fetcher. We all have our strengths:)

The baseball game was fun though it only lasted until the boys remembered BLT's were for lunch. Have I mentioned how much my boys love bacon? Well, like father like sons. The love of bacon runs strong in the Millar genes. It's a greasy staple in our home.

Mexico

For the McAllister Family vacation this year we went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was a great week filled with many adventures and many laughs.

Adventure #1... Trying to find the church Sunday morning...

...Got lost drove around for an hour and hit the beach where we tried to remember it was Sunday and not get too wet:)

Mac loves Jackie Boy

Adventure #2... Boogy boarding

Mac was a natural!

Adventure #3... The Zoo
This zoo was crazy with no rules. We were able to feed all the animals (bears included). There was touching and grabbing from the animals and Mac told me "A bear tried to slam uncle Dave but Dave punched the bear away." Not totally true, there was no punching involved. The whole time I was thinking of escape plans just in case one of the tigers got out.

Adventure #4 Old town Puerto Vallarta

Adventure #5 Zip lining through the Rain Forest

soaring up to 600 feet above the ground
Me and Mom stayed back to watch the kids but only heard great things about this adventure!

Adventure #6.. Boat tour

We went through caves, snorkeled in remote places and stopped in little villages that you can only get to by boat.Gray playing with a star fish. Come to find out they are pretty resilient.

Because of all the rain, the water was not the best for snorkeling but it was great to get out of the boat and swim and I might have thrown up a couple of times. Boat + sketchy Mexican food = throw up!

Adventure #7 relaxation
The resort we stayed at had an amazing pool with 2 alligator slides.

Our little Mermaid! Dave's a great uncle.

The week went by way too fast. Thanks for the great memories, I love my family!
