Busy Busy...

What a week, whew! Its already Thursday! WOW!!

Lets see, I don't have that much new and exciting to write about but I will just fill you in on the latest events at the Millers :)

This week Mitchel has had a full week... 3 nights of soccer with Cascade and DBQ league as well as working out at Staners from
3-5 every other day. He REALLY likes having a JOB, it makes him feel important and good about himself :) Its good for him and Jason both. Oh, and he is now visiting the ORTHODONIST every other week for awhile... he is getting "prepped" beginning of his future braces. Hello checkbook... WOW since our dental ins. does not have ortho... and we didn't know that until recently... YIKES but it will be o.k.

Issac, well he's been a little pistol this week... 11 going on 12... (six months away) and has just been "SASSY" lately, ARGH!
Is puberty starting to hit him? Not sure what it is but he's always been my 'sweet one' and it just kinda hurts to see him act the way he does lately :( It'll pass right?

Blade, oh Blade! His imagination runs WILD!! He's such a doll lately and says the absolutely cutest things! The other day we were drving home from DBQ and we were listening to the CARS CD, he new each song by 'part of the movie' and knew most of the words in ALOT of them. Also the other night, this is too cute and I have to share it... he was upstairs in his room and well looked out the window and 'apparently saw a monkey' un huh!! So he comes running down the stairs saying "mommy, mommy I have something VERY important to tell you" and then he tells me he saw a monkey out his window in the tree. So of course I take him back upstairs and look out the window with him and reassure him there is no monkey... and then he says, "no I'm serious" I died laughing... I could not help it!!! Because he like grabbed my face so I was looking at him and his eyes got really big. It was priceless!!!!!! He can also now write 'MOM' its so CUTE!!!!! We are working on "DAD" yet but he will get it soon I believe. Also he told me this week while we were waiting for the older boys in the waiting room at the ortho,
" I want to read soon"... so so CUTE!! He's not little anymore either... makes that VERY clear!

Oh my boys keep me full of life! I love that they are all active and keep me active, it won't be long and they will all be grown up on me... time flies! I enjoy every moment being a mom!! even on the days I want to strangle them at times... but that is life of parenting.

Ok... on to Jer, he was in Boston from Monday to Wednesday. A nice short trip but seemed like eternity... since he was just gong the all week the week before and then the weekend was crazy for us... but now he is home until we go to Brazil, so that will be NICE! Hoping to get a few things in with the kids before they go back to school... which starts in 3 weeks... YIKES!

I've been running all week, if not with the kids. I've been helping Tam Tam at the store, she is getting ready for FALL. Lots and lots to mark and her 'preview' is this weekend, so she needed to get a few things out and ready for that. I enjoy helping her when I can, its nice to get out of the house when its sawing after sawing and chaos here during the day. I've been down there the last few days helping her so my house is falling apart :( I got the main floor vac and wiped down today since it was SICK from all the dust.... hopefully I can get a few things done tomorrow before I am off...

My little friend, Chipper (Tammy's male weiner dog) hurt his back sometime last week and Tammy took him to the vet yesterday. The poor little thing is on steriods to help him repair his 'hurt disc'. It truely frightens me! I am hoping and praying he can pull thru this, he and his sister Annie are EVERYTHING to Tammy! He's a tough little guy and I hope he recovers from this!!! Please keep Tammy and Chippy in your thoughts! I've been there when you feel terrified about a pet, I remember when Buzz wasn't himself one evening and we thought he was on his 'death bed'... I was attached and very much scared and would of done anything at that point to make him better! Pets are a big part of people's life... whether some think that or not. Anyhow before I have a tear jerker... I best close.

Weekend... Mitchel has a BIG 6x6 Soccer tourney on Saturday in Burlington,
Jer's cousin is getting married on Saturday... not sure what direction we are going yet...Tomorrow kids going to farm to enjoy the day, I will be off to help Tam Tam and hope to get a few things done here as well. Sunday... hoping its a day where we can DO NOTHING but sit at home and watch a movie and veg out for once.

Until I blog again, have a great weekend!!!
