Our Recent Move

Back in Utah we are!

Hey boys! 

Sorry I haven't posted anything in such a long time, however its been very busy since we left Colorado. Colorado was very hard on mommy and daddy, it was very expensive, no one in the family wanted daddy around, and I thought daddy and I had some other issues that we needed to work through seperately, but then after we left that was something I tried taking back but it was just to late. 

Grandpa Mike came from Utah to come get us and help us move back, and now were back in Utah. The reason I haven't been able to do any updates is we've moved into a house and haven't had the internet and before that it was just us and mommy and I didn't have much time to be on the computer. So within the next few days you will see a ton of updates that have happened over the last month. 

All you need to know right now is that we moved back, we're doing good and we're getting through everything we need to. 

Just know that whatever happens in the future, I love both of you boys so much and everything that I do is for you guys, and it will always be that way. You two are my everything, which is how it should be. That will never change. I will be your mother forever, which means I'll be there for you, forever. 

Love you guys!

Potty Training Update

Potty Training is a Bitch, part two.

Garrett Michael-Duane Miller

So we're now over a month into trying to get you potty trained little man, and it hasn't been the best experience. You have been very stubborn. Until recently (the last two days) you've been actually telling us that you need to go potty! It's maybe 1 or 2 times a week, but at least it is something! We're very proud of you little guy!!! You should be fully potty trained soon and that will be absolutely awesome!

Love you little man!

Sorry little dude but it really is!

We've had you in big boy underwear for 5 days now, and you will go and sit on your potty but you won't actually go potty in your potty. You go in your underwear, or you take your underwear off to go.

Normally, I would think you're just not ready. But you're ready. You're taking your diaper off to pee and poop in your bed, you take your diaper off to pee inside and outside the house. You don't want to wear it anymore. I know that. So Bud, just help us out, start usin your damn potty!!

I'm one proud mama!

Garrett, you make me such a proud mama. I figured you wouldn't adjust to Seth being home very well, but that's not even the case! All you've done recently is just want to hold him. Matter of fact if I turn my back for even just a second, you've tried getting him out of his swing. 

Slow down little guy! He isn't going anywhere!

Scary Scary!

Seth Reed Miller

You gave all of us quite the scare the weekend of July 12th, it started off with just a dry cough, and went into where you were weezing while you were trying to breath. I took you into Urgrent care Sunday morning, the dr said that she would be very surprised if you didn't have RSV.. So we went to the hospital and got your congestion tested. It was negative. Later in the day I was feeding you in my arms, and your face went white and lips turned blue. You wouldn't stop eating to breathe, so I took away your bottle and you regained color. I called your dad because he wasn't home and had my car, and told him he needed to get home because I needed to take you into the ER, a ten minute drive took him 2 minutes and we had you in the car.

On the way to the hospital I was so scared that it was going to happen again, I sped so much that if I had a cop behind me I wouldn't have stopped. I would have just continued. The speed limit on the roads I took were 30 and 40, and I don't think my spedometer went under 50 except when I stopped at a light or stop sign. You were rushed in immediently and your oxygen levels were okay, but everytime you would cough they would drop.

They still haven't been able to figure out why you were so congested, but we tried and tried sucking our your nose, and nothing would come out. The ER doctor ended up admitting you overnight and when we got upstairs they suctioned your nose with a machine and that seemed to work much better. By the end of the night doing the machine suction you were able to breathe normal again. Which made it to where I could breathe again.

It was just me and you little guy. We had a rough night at the hospital but we got through it together. I was so scared while you were in there, being a mother to a sick baby just makes one feel so helpless. There was nothing I could have done for you to feel better besides than just being there for you. And thats exactly what I did. I love you little man. Please don't scare me like that again!

July 4th 2014

What a busy day! The morning was all about cleaning for our BBQ that evening, but Garrett - You were not making it easy on us my love. You were absolutely miserable ALL day and you just looked terrible. 

Nana and Papa were the first ones to show up, and one look from Nana, she gave you literally everything you wanted for the rest of the day.

Papa had a few firecrackers that he wanted set off with you but when he did you ran the other way and just started to cry.

Poor little guy!

Well the next morning I ended up taking you into the Dr and found out you had a double ear infection. That would be why you didn't like the fireworks and why you were just so miserable.

You are absolutely adorable baby!

This morning, you went up to the snake that we caught for you in the yard and say "Hi 'Nake" and then you go get your animal book and turn to the page with a snake and point to it and said " 'Nake".

I love how much you're learning and I love being able to teach it to you. 

Then... I had just got done changing your diaper, you grabbed your diaper, went and put it in the garbage and came back and said "more", so I handed you more garbage and we did this probably 4 times before you got bored of it. 

Thank you for being such a helper!

I love you baby!
