Happy Father's Day!

At 6:44 this morning Gray Andrew Millar was born. He was 7 lbs. 15 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. He has loads of dark hair, and a normal size head (well...compared to Mac's). Ashlee woke up at about 1:30 am and couldn't go back to sleep. She woke me up at 2:30 and said that she was having a baby. Her water had just broken so we went to the Hospital. We got there and after sorting through a mountain of paper work they let us have the baby. He is doing great and Ashlee is too. Mac and I are spending some quality time together, and I am beginning to appreciate all the things that Ash does for him each day. Mac is handling it all well, as you can see below he likes to hug and kiss the baby but I don't think he realizes that the baby is here to stay. He is just enjoying all the attention from the visitors. We will post more pictures soon.

The other day I was out with Mac and he was being pretty funny so I started taking pictures. The next day after looking at pictures I realized that we are white trash. Here's why....

#1. We have dead potted house plants in our back yard along with multiple balls and trikes.
#2. My only child playing in his diaper at 3:00 pm
3: The entertainment was watching Mac spray himself with the hose and fill his diaper with water. It got so heavy it almost fell off.
Last but not least,
#4. We have an exercise bike on our deck that I would use more but it sounds like a dying duck every time I peddle.

Millar Update....

Life here is crazy. First, we close on our house this Friday. Both Drew an I feel too young to be buying a house but we are so excited. Saturday we have painters coming in and then Monday and mostly Tuesday we are moving. So this week we have started packing. Luckily the move is only a mile away and we don't have to be out of our old place until July 1. Last week we went and got an ultrasound to check the size of the baby. He, of course is measuring big so the doctor wants to induce me. So, Thursday the 19 (the week of the move), if I haven't had the baby, I'm being induced. We are hoping that we do make it until next Thursday for all our sakes but especially for Mac. He is so attached to me it's bad. I can't leave his sight or he immediately starts crying. Plus that way my mom can be here before the baby comes and give Mac some serious attention. Also we would love to have Mac in the house a couple of days before I leave to go to the hospital. The poor kid, his life is seriously going to be turned upside down and I am feeling so guilty about it.
On a lighter note, here's some pictures of us playing at the pool last Saturday.....




While the boys ran around I hung out with little Mason. He took a nap on my tummy. I'm sure Gray and Mason will be great friends. only 8 days left!

Happy Birthday

My mom turned 50 today! Isn't she beautiful?! I can honestly say I have the best mom in the world. If I become half the mom she is, I'll be sitting good. Tonight my brothers, sister and Dad threw her a little party and we wish we could be there but the whole pregnancy thing is keeping me put. We love you mom/grandma so much. Happy Birthday.

Road Trip!

Ryan, my older brother, called us a couple of weeks ago with this great idea to meet up at our aunt's house in Chicago. Since I only had 5 weeks left until my due date we planned the trip for the following weekend, Memorial Day. We made the six hour drive to Chicago last Sunday. The trip was so fun and though I was nervous to travel so late in the pregnancy everything went great. Thanks to Ryan's ambitious personality we got to see a lot in such a short amount of time.


Memorial day we spent at the race track. I know what you are all thinking, we go to tracks a lot at home, why would we go while we are on vacation? The only answer I can give you is that my husband is obsessed with the industry and was able to talk everyone into going to Arlington Park Race Course. Really, the weather was great and everyone had a great time.

The gang. Cousins Steve and Cara, Uncle Rich, Aunt Ann, Roo, Ryan, Lucy and us

Tuesday we let Mac take a morning nap and then went downtown in the late afternoon. We did a little shopping and that night we went to the Cubs game. It was freezing. Luckily Aunt Ann made us take gloves, hats and a jacket for Drew. We wouldn't have lasted ten minutes at the game if it wasn't for her. We had to buy Mac pants and I signed up for a credit card and got a free blanket in hopes of warming Mac up. We bundled him up and he slept most of the game. I think him and Lucy were two of five babies in the whole stadium. Stupid tourists.










Wednesday we woke up and caught the 9:10 train to downtown. First stop... Memorial park. Mac loved the giant metallic "Bean."

The best part of the trip was that Roo and I won a drawing that allowed us to buy 6th row tickets to Wicked for only $25! To make things even better the boys took the babies so we could enjoy it. We owe them big time. While we were relaxing in the theater Drew and Ry walked all around the city and took a water taxi out to Navy Pier. As you can see Mac got his afternoon nap in Drew's arms.

After, we met up with Ryan's mission companion Brandon who took us to a yummy restaurant where we had the best Chicago pizza.

Sweet babes with their matching binkies.

Lucy and Mac did so great the whole trip besides the train ride home that night. Lucy cried (not bad) and Mac ran around screaming from excitement and frustration (bad). We got some nasty glares and overheard funny comments from the other passengers. Drew and I both agreed that the hour train ride home was the low of the trip:)

Thanks McAllister's and Herlin's for a great trip, we hope to do it again.

Mac gabbing

Mac says few words. Mom, dad, dog, bopa (grandpa), bebe (baby), whats that and this and pretty much any animal sound. Our favorite lately is the elephant. But he's not mute. He talks nonstop all day. He totally thinks he's talking and that we understand everything he says. It's pretty cute. I have been trying to get this on camera for some time now but whenever I pull it out he gets shy. Here's our best shot so far. He had just woken up and was not as talkative as usual but you can get the point.

What we've been up to....

Mac has been making a mess of everything but he sure looks cute doing it.

I found Mac hiding beside my bed with a bottle of Vavoom hairspray. Doesn't his hair look great?I think he's a natural; maybe he'll be following in his Aunt Roo's footsteps.
This is our adorable little baby. We had an Ultrasound today and got to take another peek at him. This is his profile to the right with his foot up against his forehead on the left. He's got his dad's flexibility!
The baby measured at 35.4 weeks (we are 34.1 weeks today), 5.5 lbs., 54 percentile and his little feet are already 3 inches long. We could tell that he has a little chin and chubby cheeks just like Mac had in his 35 week ultra sound pictures.

We had one last law school get together with the LDS students. We are missing Eric, Travis, Noah and Doug. We should have taken it when everyone was there, but Drew and Blaine insisted that we take a picture anyway.

Some of the wives.

I have become domestic. Last week I made a hooter hider. I'm modeling it in the picture to the left. Anything to make nursing easier for the next baby is fine by me.
Lately I have been spending my Saturdays going to yard sales. I love finding cheap things. Last week I struck gold. I found a coffee table that needed a little paint job and new knobs. I wish I would have taken a before picture but trust me it was not this cute (the flash made the color look brighter than it really is). It will be a great accent piece when we get the other pieces of the living room set.
