Mr. Dependent

If Mac had it his way everyone would do everything for him but today it hit an all time low....

Mac: "Mom a pickle is on my shirt, get it!"
Me: "Mac I can't, you can do it. Pick it off your shirt and put it in your happy meal!"
Mac: "I can't! please mom!"
Me: "Nope! sorry!"
Mac: "Hey Ike, can get this pickle off my shirt?"

Yes, sometimes it's annoying doing all the little things for Mac that he should be doing himself but one day I'll miss it! I'll even miss him waking up in the middle of the night wanting to cuddle or maybe I wont. One things for sure, I love my Mac!

Annie girl

Some random pics of Annie cause apparently, she's the only one I take pictures of these days.

"talking" to mom

She coos and ahhs all day long and is happiest when standing on my lap.

Words can't describe how much we love our little Annie Girl!

Blessing day

Sunday, March 27 Annie was given a name and a blessing

Annie was our first baby that was blessed in our Kentucky ward. I had mixed feelings about this. With the boys blessing we had both grandpa's, my grandpa and all the uncles. Blessing Annie out here I knew we would be lucky to get one of those men. Even though Annie wasn't surrounded by her family she had her dad, grandpa and friends. Friends that we've served with and friends that mean a lot to us. Annie cried through the whole blessing but I loved watching the men bounce her in the circle trying to calm her down. I'm grateful for a husband that lives his life in such a way that he's able to give our children these sweet blessings.

Drew's mom made Annie's dress. It was absolutely perfect!
The outtakes...

We are blessed to have such a supportive family!

I was bad at taking pictures last week. I only took 3 and they were all of Aunt Annie...

Drew's mom and sister Annie flew in Wednesday night and Drew's other sister Katie and her 2 kids drove in from St. Louis Thursday. We had a fun weekend of playing lots of games and just hanging out. It made me wish we could get the whole Millar clan together- maybe this summer:)
Emma, Ellie, Mac and Gray played so well together too. Gray is still talking about his little cousins.

My parents flew in Sunday morning and were only able to stay until Tuesday. Some of Drew's friends told us about a German restaurant in Cincinnati that was amazing so Monday morning we packed the kids up and ate the most delicious lunch of Bavarian Schnitzel and mushroom spaetzle. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Then we headed across the street to the aquarium, where Mac was fascinated and scared of the fish...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Is it weird that St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays? I don't know why but I look forward to it every year!
The boys woke up to Leprechaun footprints all over the house. Gray was surprised and didn't know what was happening.

To make it a little harder this year, the leprechaun's footprints led the boys to a "clue" which told them were the treasure was. The boys loved it. The rest of the day we ate all kinds of green food and took a long 2 hour walk outside.

" Mom my jacket will get pinched it's not green."

really Gray?

I took the boys on a 2 hour shopping trip, they did so well in all the stores. As a reward I let them pick out something at Gymboree. G picked sunglasses and has not taken them off since.

2 months old!

I can't believe my chunky monkey is 2 months old.

She's a whopping 12.1 lbs (85%) and 25 inches long (95%).
She's such a happy, content baby.
We couldn't love her more!
