"Ian"

2009-01-27T22:25:00.004-07:00

A little story about Ian......

On Sunday we lost Ian for about 1 hour!

We finished our sacrament meeting and the kids took off to primary. After an hour of primary his teacher runs into Kasi in the hall and asked if Ian was still sick. She said no, he should have been in class, but his teacher said he never made it to class. We searched the building and NO IAN.... He rode his bike to church, so I checked to see if his bike was missing, but the bike was still on the bike rack, so where is Ian? Kasi is in full panic at this point and I knew if somebody had taken him they would bring him back sooner than later. As I was on my way out to see if he walked home I ran into a neighbor and he asked if I was looking for Ian. I said YES! He said he is at home playing in the front yard. I drove home and there I found Ian Miller covered from head to toe in MUD! I asked him what he was doing at home and he told me that he was sick of church and came home. He said he told mom, but she didn't listen. I told him that someone would steal him and he said "They wouldn't because he was hiding in the back yard in the sand box." Well, we cleaned up and went back to church. On the way home he said "Other people came home the same time I did." The bishop commented that he was going to be the SPY to see who came home early. Needless to say we had a good laugh. He is such a character and full of ......! We love him and he keeps us going.

Ian sitting on his new bed in his new bedroom. He loves sharing his room with Mason.

Ian loves to dress up! It's his favorite thing. Granny has the best dress ups.

Superman with cowboy boots. He loves his cowboy boots!

I love this picture. I love how comfortable Kaitlyn looks in her Dads arms. I pray that she always feels this way. She has the best Dad in the world. We are all lucky to have Kenny in our lives....now if I could just get him to multi-task around the house he would be perfect!!!

The Miller Boys thought they were at Disneyland, close but we were at the Basile Ranch. Daemon and Nikki had us out to the ranch to have the boys ride horses. Ian was born to be a cowboy and Ian calls Mason is a homme boy cowboy. Andrew Basile was really good to let Mason ride the horse by himself.

Mason made sure his Skate board was on the back.

Discover Ireland this summer!!!

2008-09-09T22:53:00.011-06:00

This is the funniest advertisement for IRELAND that I have ever seen !!!!

This describes IRELAND this Summer. It has rained so much this year, that record rain fall has been recorded. I love the rain and I miss the damp weather.

Our friends from Ireland are coming for 2 weeks to enjoy the SUN!! Geraldine, Rose and Ed are coming on holiday to visit and to just get out of the rain. Below is just a small glimpse of what these crazy knackers are like. We are so excited to have them come visit. We laugh the entire time they are here. Just a few weeks and they will be here and you will know it!!!

Geraldine getting fresh with ED

ED & Rose

Rose is a member of the IRA Army!! Watch OUT!!

We are so happy that Geraldine is not bringing her Knacker daughter Aisling. She is so HIGH maintenance. The trip will not be the same without her. I'm fine without her coming over, but the boys and Kasi will miss her, she adds so much laughter and dirty Irish language to the conversation. Have fun in New York Ash!! We really will miss you. We love you!

Kaitlyn's blessing day!

2008-09-06T15:36:00.005-06:00

Kaitlyn's blessing was a great day. We had family from everywhere come and enjoy the weekend.
Kaitlyn's dress has a story..... Kenny has been carrying around this blessing dress for 16 years. It was made by a member in his first area of his mission in Dublin, Ireland. He baptized this members son and she made this dress and told Kenny that someday he would have a daughter to bless and this dress would bring blessing and memories of the people of Ireland. It is more like a wedding dress. We love it and we love it more because it is 100% hand made from Ireland. The experiences of Ireland meant a lot to Kenny and our family, so when we had Kaitlyn we had her blessed in the dress. We love all of our Irish friends.

Ian's 1st big Soccer Game!!

You wonder why our kids act the way they do.....

We have no control over our kids and they are 7 and 3 years old....

We will need help raising them as teenagers.

Katarina, my boys girlfriend that lives in California and works at the Quicksilver store and sent us the new school uniforms for Heritage Elementary. haha

It was like Christmas for the boys to get such cool clothes.

YES, we are in trouble. Ian has learned the ropes so much earlier from his bigger brother Mason!!

Yankee Meadow Camping Trip 2008

2008-08-17T23:50:00.003-06:00

Kasi stayed home with Kaitlyn and I took the boys up to Yankee Meadow, Parowan Canyon. My dad is the Camp Host every summer, so we decided to go camping. We took Granny Cherrie with us. My sister Michelle and her kids came up for the day. My brother Mike and his family came up and cooked us a dutch oven dinner. Mason and Ian love camping. We had a good time.

The boys out camping, while Kasi decided to stay home to SHOP!!!

Kaitlyn's 1st Photo Shoot

2008-07-25T22:38:00.005-06:00

The minute I had Kaitlyn I wanted Erin Fonnesbeck to photograph her. Erin is a great friend of mine and has really developed some amazing photography talents. I appreciate her so much taking the time to come and get some photos that we will cherish forever. This picture really says it all. We just stare at Kaitlyn. In the middle of the night when I should be sleeping I just hold her a little longer and try to take it all in. I know these days will go by so quickly. I want to remember how soft her hair feels, every smell after lotion and bath time, every soft touch, and every funny face made during nap time. If I could only find her pause button...I would push it until I was ready for her to grow a little more. I never knew I would love a little girl as much as I do. We all love Kaitlyn so much and are so grateful that she is here.

The Princess has ARRIVED!!!

2008-07-16T21:26:00.005-06:00

We now have the DIVA in the house. A PINK bomb went off in our house. From going to all boy things to all pink has been an adjustment. We love every second of it. Mason and Ian love having the new baby sister. We are seeing a side of the boys that we haven't seen before. We will see how long it will last.

Life is GOOD!!!

2008-07-13T15:40:00.004-06:00

2008-07-10T22:09:00.006-06:00

Kasi and Kaitlyn are still in the hospital. Kaitlyn was in the NICU, intensive care until around 3:00 pm today. Dr. Thompson wanted to keep her another day to make sure things were going well. Her blood sugar is where it should be and we expect to go home on Friday. Kasi is doing well and looks like a million bucks as always. Kasi is like a work horse, takes the pain like she has a hang nail. I have tried to sneak her medication while she wasn't looking, but the nurses know me by now.

Kaitlyn is one healthy baby!!!

Mason and Ian are the best big brothers. They want to hold her and touch her. They are still in shock that we have a new baby sister.

The NEW Miller Family

Kaitlyn decided to wake up and see what the party was all about.

Kaitlyn's Boyfriend decided to come visit her. This is Max Larkin. We are getting pictures really early for their wedding video. Kaitlyn looks like she took all of the milk in the nursery.

Dr. Brad Thompson is the best doctor in the world.

Dad and Kaitlyn taking a little rest after a long day. Oh, I forgot Kasi delivered the baby. The one thing I have been waiting for my entire life..... holding my little girl!!!! Do I have to share with Kaitlyn's mom & her brothers ???

It's a GIRL!!!!

2008-07-09T09:44:00.004-06:00

Kaitlyn Kennedy Miller

Kasi delivered our new baby GIRL!!!!!!!
8 lbs 2 oz
20 inches

Born: July 9, 2008 @ 5:54 P.M.

The day started at around 5AM, going to the hospital and Kasi getting induced a few days early. We had a good day, making progress, and then Kasi pushed 3 times and the head was out. As soon as the head was out, panic!!!! the cord was wrapped twice around the baby's neck and what ever Dr. Thompson said as he saw the double cord, got a team of 10 in the room and ready to get that baby out. He cut the cord before the baby's body made it out. It was pretty intense for a while. Dr. Thompson stayed calm while Kasi and I stressed out beyond belief. They rushed the baby over to the team to start working on her and they kept counting and hearing no cry made us very uneasy. Kasi did an incredible job with the delivery. The baby is still in the New born Intensive Care. They are watching over her and making sure things are going well. Dr. Thompson feels like things are going to be just fine. We really don't know what to do with a girl. The boys are so excited to have a new baby sister. Ian's first words were, "I won, I knew it was a girl the whole time." We haven't really got to spend a lot of time with the baby, but we are excited to bring her home to all boy clothes and boy toys. What a great day we had. Please help us with a name for our new baby girl. I will keep you posted on the events of our new addition to the Miller Family.

The baby is coming today!!

2008-07-09T07:27:00.001-06:00

Kasi is in the hospital as you are reading this!! We will keep you posted!!!

No BABY yet!!!!!

2008-07-04T23:22:00.002-06:00

We still have no baby!!!! We thought it would be last Wednesday, but everything stopped!!!! I take her on bumpy rides, make her ride the horse and even mop the floor, but still nothing happens. Kasi is ready to have this baby OUT!!!!!!
We will see about this coming Monday!! I will keep you posted.

SHIFT4 FAMILY PICNIC

2008-06-11T21:51:00.006-06:00

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Shift4 Family Picnic in Las Vegas. My boys were thrilled when they saw the face painting tent. I tried to get them to do something small on their arms, but they refused.... they still look cute to me!!!

A DAY ON THE FARM

2008-06-11T16:54:00.004-06:00

The boys have had the greatest time on the Staheli Farm. They have a kids camp for the summer. They have feed the baby lambs, played with the pig called "Bacon", and they caught some frogs. They have also learned about veggies and where they come from. They even ate zucchini and squash last night (that is huge). My boys are in little boy heaven.

STUPID DAMN CAT!!!

2008-06-04T17:00:00.003-06:00

When Kenny turned 33 we borrowed our neighbors "hairless" cat to play a joke on our families. I told them that I had bought the cat as a gift for Kenny. You can imagine their excitement... They thought I had gone mad. The other day the cat was outside and I heard Ian say something that sadly did not suprise me. He said - there goes that stupid damn cat. It was all I could do not to laugh my guts out. Ian is a small version of Kenny and he makes me laugh every single day.

My baby Ian

2008-06-01T22:08:00.005-06:00

This is my baby Ian. This is the boy that every morning crawls up on my lap and says "mom, I love you". It melts my heart every single time. He is so sweet and loving, but don't tick him off - just ask his brother. He'll fight you to the death! Ian is so excited for this baby to come. He has already told me that he will help me get the diapers and feed the baby. I know that will last just two days, but I'll take it. On Memorial Day we all went fishing with Grandma Cleo. I am so glad that she is healthy and strong and that she can still teach my boys how to fish, pick sweet peas, pull weeds, and smash snails. She is one of a kind. Ian is a great boy and I am so proud of him.

Babe Ruth Jr.

2008-05-27T22:40:00.002-06:00

Mason was drafted by the Boston Red Sox tonight. He played his last baseball game today. The best days are watching Mason play baseball with all of his neighborhood buddies.

Mason is going on to 2nd Grade!!!!!!

2008-05-23T23:34:00.005-06:00

Today was Mason's last day of 1st Grade.. He had Mrs. Haun. She was the best teacher. She will probably retire after teaching Mason. We had to supplement her income to take Mason into her class. haha. Mason is 7 going on 17. Mason is a great kid.

My Favorite Boys

2008-05-18T22:24:00.005-06:00

I feel like I am in such a rush to take every image possible of my boys. Once this baby is here they will magically be so much older. We are all so excited for this baby to come. Ian asks me everyday if I am pregnant, and if it is summer time yet. He wants to help me hold the baby and get diapers for his baby sister. Yes, a sister... he has told me from day one that we are having a girl. We really do not know yet what we are having, but if you ask him it is a girl. Mason is excited too. When I am laying down on the sofa he likes to feel the baby move. He will be a great brother and hopefully he will lend a helping hand between playing baseball and riding his skateboard. Right his only dream is to wake up and be 17 years old. When I think my boys are getting to big I put my hands on their heads and press down, they both know that means to stop growing...so far it has not helped. I love my family and am so grateful for them. They mean everything to me.

Pray for the Fotheringham's

2008-05-14T08:06:00.006-06:00

Brandi & Eric Fotheringham are in need of prayers. Please include them in your prayers. They are facing some life decisions. Miles was born to teach all of us lessons about life. Be thankful everyday for your health and the life you have. You're the best Brandi, Eric, Tess, and Miles.

Happy Birthday Kristy

2008-04-20T22:14:00.004-06:00

Around this time of year I start thinking of my friend Kristy Casperson Swiderski. It will be her birthday on the 23rd. She is the one in the lower right corner of the picture. Kristy passed away on October 25th, 2006. No one should die when they are that young. She left behind a husband and two young children. Kristy was an amazing person who will be missed by a lot of close friends. People just naturally loved being with Kristy, she had that most incredible sense of humor. I love her and I miss her. I pray that her family will be blessed and that her children will feel her love whenever they need her.

Mason's 7th Birthday Party

2008-04-06T17:03:00.006-06:00

Happy Birthday Mason. I can't believe that you are 7 years old. I know I say that every year, but you were just my little baby yesterday. We all had a great time at Dixie Bowl. Grandma Cleo and Grandma Lisa bowled a game together. They are both amazing, it was fun to show both Mason and Ian their Grandmas names up on the "Wall of Fame". Mason I love you and am very proud of the young man that you have become. Happy Birthday Buddy. Love MOM

Happy Anniversary

2008-04-04T17:01:00.004-06:00

Happy Anniversary Kenny, it has been 12 incredible years. Being married to Kenny has been the greatest, I couldn't ask for anything more in life. It was on this trip to Alaska that I realized that being married to your best friend means everything. Kenny has made me everything that I am today. There has NEVER been a dull moment when Kenny is around. Please believe me, I am raising two little boys that act just like their father...and for that I am truly grateful.

Hats off to Grandma Hacker!

2008-04-01T21:28:00.003-06:00

My mom, better know as grandma Hacker is on her way to China...again. She is starting up dance classes for all of those cute little chinese girls. I don't know of any other human being that would want to take that flight and face all of the challenges that she is going to face in starting up a business in China. She is one brave woman. I look up to her a lot. She has the energy of a 13 year old. My boys already miss her and she has only been gone one day.

This is Kasi at Nephi's Homecoming with Bill Wilkey. Is she HOT or what? I will let Kasi add to the post later.
This is my favorite cousin Angie, I wish I could go back in time to this moment. We had such a great time at Nephi Homecoming. Look at the faces on our dates - they look mortified. They were probably so embarrassed by us. We were the only two on the dance floor when then "fast" music came on (besides Heinz Kirchhausen - true story). We could of cared less, no one knew us so we acted like total idiots!!! A special thank you to Bill and Brett Wilkey for the best action ever (not, they dropped us off at the hotel and left before we had a chance to take our dresses off!!!)

Remembering Natalie

MUST READ!!!! Be ready to CRY!!! Very powerful story!
http://rememberingnatalie.blogspot.com/

I found this blog from a friend and I should have NOT read it. I sat in my office and cried like a baby. All of the feelings of when Kasi was in the hospital (7 months pregnant) with Mason and her appendix had burst. I remember sitting with her and the doctor's (every OB in town) checking her out and not knowing what was wrong. We waited hours and hours before they took her in for surgery. Every doctor trying to diagnose her and Kasi masking the symptoms and the pain. She knew she was in trouble and so did I, but this was out of my hands. I felt so helpless and wanted this experience to go away. When the doctor's finally said we need to do an amniocentesis test and there is a large risk in doing so. Dr. Tug Miller telling me that I may lose my wife and baby if her appendix had ruptured and the poisoned fluid mixes with the baby's amniotic fluid. He explained what was going to happen and I had to sign a form stating the risk. I had no other choice but to have the procedure done. When I was reading this blog, all my feelings that I felt while she was in surgery came back. I was scared and couldn't do anything about it. I prayed like I have never prayed before. I had a good feeling inside, but still the unknowing. The Lord has a plan and he is in control. This story of Natalie is amazing. I don't even know her, but she is a powerful person. We knew Colby by going to Cafe Rio daily for Lunch and Dinner, but only heard stories about Natalie. I love my Kasi more than you know. She is an AMAZING wife, mother and friend. She makes life worth living.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from St. George Utah

Just think we were in Ireland last year at this time. Marching in the Killarney St. Patrick's Day Parade. We wish we were there right now. We are looking forward to celebrating all day long. Mason is doing a school report on Ireland in his class today. He is so excited. We will be wearing GREEN all day and night. Cherrie made Corn beef and cabbage for dinner last night to celebrate the eve of my most celebrated holiday. Ireland is my second home and I will always love you for making such great memories in my life and the life of my family. I eat, drink and sleep Ireland. Have a great day.
We Love you!
Kenny, Kasi, Mason, Ian and Baby # 3

Blogging???

2008-03-12T21:02:00.002-06:00

This blogging has got out of control. I have banned Kasi from blogging. The only thing she wants to do is BLOG!!! I see all of our friends blogging and not really paying attention to their families. Their kids have NOT been fed, the toilets haven't been cleaned and dinner is NOT on the table. I see kids running in the streets until midnight without shirts and shoes. OH, This describes the MILLER'S. I wonder what the Prophet is going to say about this in the next General Conference. I love giving Chris Sparks a hard time about blogging. He is constantly blogging. Now he works with me he is going through blogging addition detox. The truth is that I find myself reading all the blogs and wishing we had a good one like Shayne Scott and Melinda Clove. Keep the blogs going, it gives me something to do while I'm living in Las Vegas. Kenny

Who has the time?

2008-03-09T15:18:00.002-06:00

I am just amazed with all of you bloggers. I don't even have time to clean my toilets let alone sit down at the computer and come up with something fun and creative for a people to read. How do any of you have the time for this? Maybe I'll get better at this as time goes by. Hope everyone is happy and healthy. The Miller family is going great. I am still pregnant for 100 more years, Kenny is training in Vegas all week (so we look forward to the weekends!), Mason is 6 going on 16, and Ian is hell on wheels. I wonder what baby #3 will be like? Keep smiling. Kasi
