Kid's Dreamland - September 3, 2010

There is a wonderful park in Columbia City that the boys sometimes walk to with Miss Pam. We took them there and they had a great time! Tanner is getting big enough that he can enough it also.



Bike Riding - September 6, 2010

Teeghun learned to ride his bike without the training wheels. Shortly after the end of this video the training wheels were put back on, he hadn't mastered the stopping part yet!!

August 2010

I cannot believe that I am trying to go back and keep this up to date, but Steve encouraged me to do this because he said it is a neat way for the boys to see what was going on in their lives.

August brought about more swimming and my favorite time, the Indiana State Fair!!!

We spent time with Sally & Terry on the lake and the boys both got to drive the boat! Look out!!!



Next came fun at the State Fair, it was HOT (isn't is always) but we still had a lot of fun! The boys each got to try fishing and Teeghun caught a fish! This began a love for fishing at Grandpa and Grandma's pond. We always try to go on Purdue Day if we can and they got to stand beside the Boilermaker Special and get their picture taken.


Here are a couple pictures of Teeghun and Tanner fishing at Grandpa and Grandma's pond, they always let them go but first we tried to get pictures.


We ended the month of August celebrating Morgan's birthday at Crazy Pinz, as you can see from the score I didn't bowl too well!!!

July 2010





I am catching up...slowly by surely I am getting there!!!

July was another fun month for the Miller's. There always seems to be something fun going on.

We celebrated July 4th but still didn't try fireworks. The boys wouldn't even touch sparklers so I figured fireworks were out of the question!!! The Chapel does an awesome Patriotic Service each July 4th weekend. This year they had firetrucks and the Lutheran Air Helicopter for the kids to visit. Bob Sinacola from our old Sunday School class flies the helicopter so the boys were super excited to see him and get to see the helicopter up close. Every time either of the medical helicopters flies over our house they both yell "Mr. Bob! Mr. Bob!"

The Three Rivers Festival is in Fort Wayne in July and we love to go visit the "junk food alley", this year we also went to the parade. It is VERY crowded but a good parade.

We all went to a TinCaps game together this year. It was a VERY HOT evening for a baseball game but everyone seemed to have a great time! It was the boys first game of the season and there is always so much to see that they lasted a lot longer than we expected that they would.






July ended with one of Angie's favorite times of the year, the Whitley County 4-H Fair! The boys seem to enjoy it also and we went back several times.

June 2010


June was a fun month for us.
We started the boys at "Miss Pam's House" for childcare and it has been WONDERFUL! She loves the boys sooo much and takes great care of them! Her son Scott helps her and that is great!!

We also spent a lot of time at the zoo in June, we love the zoo and try to spend as much time there as we can. Now that we are living in Columbia City it isn't as convenient to just head there after work, but we still try to make it there frequently.

June was also Father's Day and I cannot believe that I cannot find one single picture taken of Steve and the boys on Father's Day...note to self, work on that!!!

Old Settler's came to town in June and Teeghun was sooo excited! As you can see from the video Ellee wasn't quite as sure!

June also meant the opening of our pool and what a fun time that was. The boys both loved to be in the pool and it was a great place to make lots of fun memories!!

May 2010

May finds us celebrating Mother's Day. Teeghun became a part of The Chapel Cherub choir and they always sing on Mother's Day so that was neat.



Teeghun also participated in a "Teddy Bear Picnic" at Little Praisers, the kids all brought in a stuffed animal from home and they had a picnic in their classroom.



We as a family walked in the Cancer Free Lungs walk at Headwater's Park in memory of Uncle Dan and also Trisha's dad. It was a beautiful day and a neat way to remember those lost to lung cancer.



May 28th was a sad day for our family as we said good-bye to the staff and friends at Little Praisers. Teeghun has been there since he was three months old and Tanner joined Teeghun when he was about six weeks old. The staff at Little Praisers as been a very close part of our family for over four years and we love them dearly!






We ended the month of May by celebrating Memorial Day. Steve and the boys put out flags and we explained to them that this is a day to honor those who have fought for our freedom and to remember them.

April



Somehow I lost another entire month. I could blame it on Facebook, which I seem to update much more frequently but I could also blame it on laziness. I want this blog to be something the boys can look back on and treasure, but I am through making "goals to keep it updated", I will do my best and nothing less!!

April was Easter and lots of fun spent playing outside!! We LOVE LOVE to be outside!!! We are celebrating our first spring in our new house. Teeghun and Tanner were pleased that the Easter Bunny was able to locate our house since we had moved!! The boys got to participate in three different Easter Egg hunts. Ellee and Carter along with Uncle Drew, Aunt Trisha and Memaw went to Solomon Farms with us for one of them. Solomon is a great egg hunt because they limit the number of participants so it isn't chaotic!

We also focused more on Easter and what it meant that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Teeghun talked about how at Little Praisers they were learning about what the three crosses were symbols of, it was touching to hear him tell us the story of Easter.
